Your nazi comment is ridiculous. Yeah, I actually think the Portugese Nazi Party is behind this. This article has nothing to DO with eye color even, the lady lost her eyes. This is a different century for god's (or lack thereof) sake.
She is, obviously:
A)Blind (in need of the procedure, no nazis here) B)a volunteer (not against her will)
You also really took my off-hand Bush comment a bit far.
good ol' W. and his buddies -- aka, the Religious Right.
Obviously it was illegal before Bush/the current Congress. You can hardly say that the Right isn't responsible however, especially during this current administration, for keeping these types of research from coming to light. The technology and opportunities are here now, too bad 'religion' and 'morals' aren't synonymous with 'progress'.
And yes, I want to blame Bush and his whole cabinet for the Iraq war. It isn't entirely his fault, but to blame him is asinine. He stepped out of his bounds, fabricated stories and evidence, lied to millions, and killed thousands of people. Seems like reason enough for blame to me.
How is this flamebait? The article explicitly says the patient had to fly out-of-country, because the procedure couldn't be done here in the US.
A look at who is killing effective legislation in medicine and science renders my point valid.
'The GameCube controller is just the Dual Shock with no L1, L3, R3, or Select buttons, and the D-pad and left stick are switched, and the L2 and R2 are analog like on the Dreamcast controller and Dual Shock 2.'
This is Offtopic, but maybe someone here would know...
I've been looking to get a chord keyset similar to the 5-key style that Engelbart created. Picture. I vaguely remember seeing one or two products when i looked a few months back, but nowhere could i find a purchase link.
I guess the question is: does anyone know where i could buy a chord keyset? Maybe some uber-nerdy slashdotter has one laying around i can buy?
Is it just me, or is there is barely even an article here? No one even knows which particular models of DVD players the MPAA are bitching about/want recalled. Obviously, they can't mean all of Samsung's players...
I know if I was in a Chinese citizen's position, I'd love if 'real' information was made available, lawful or not. By simply allowing them choices, we are 'helping them help themselves.' There will always be obedient sheep...but there will also be individuals who want to break free. If some get caught, it sends the government a small message; if those that get caught also encourage others to rebel, the ripple effect could (and I do emphasize could) make a splash. The (open) Internet is a much better place to shout your message than Tianamen Square....And who cares if you're breaking the law, if the law is wrong?
FTA: 'Will the under-the-skin nanocomputers of 2100 still recognize JPEG files?'
No. One day, in 2100 you'll wake up, and nanocomputers will have replaced our systems, creating destruction and terror across the land. Doesn't technology like...evolve? If people want to see pictures in their nanocomputers, then I am certain vendors will accomodate that.

So you're still right I guess, hearing-aid size does exist.
Technically, you don't have to call it a war for warfare to occur.

Integration between electronics and the brain? Impressive.
Too bad good ol' W. and his buddies are against medical/scientific progress.
If they can compete with allofmp3, I'll consider it.
This deserves to be +5. (And I don't mean my post.)

...Sounds pretty different to me.
That thing looks like a beast.

Your girlfriend was just hoping you'd take her to the server with the hottest nerds.
They took the trackpoint out. End of story.
The only streak of celibacy is the one i left on my pants :(.

Eightyford, you're grammar is showing.
It's good to see that human kindness hasn't been completely lost in the internet age.
Didn't you hear? You can't claim wikipedia as a source!
...jk, i <3 wikipedia.
I see truth. mod up!
15 minutes to update? May have something to do with your sig.
This is the worst thing ever.
OIF looks almost like another word i know...
