Or emulators. Quite frankly, all those old console games are still quite good and work well on Linux (NES, SNES, Genesis, etc.). Sure the graphics aren't as flashy, but they're still fun nonetheless. BTW, I got the ROMs from the carts I own.
From what I understand (and this may very well be wrong), Type 1 diabetes is when the immune system breaks down beta islets leaving one unable to produce insulin. So wouldn't this be a highly temporary fix, before the immune system goes to town again?
If so, I don't know if a lifetime of being stabbed in the balls is preferable to a lifetime of insulin injections.
Yes, it is due to an autoimmune process. However, there are certain parts of the body that are immunologically protected, such as the brain and testes. If the islet cells were to stay in these immunologically protected areas they may continue doing what they're doing unhindered.
I like my Android phone. But one thing the iOS does really well is languages. It even does Chinese input. That's pretty impressive. My phone only does Spanish, French, and English.
And yet if we poke certain areas of your brain, we can not only make you do things, but you will also believe that you wanted to do them. Explain that.
The reason slow replacent would work is because the opposite also works. Consider that everyday, hundreds of neurons in your brain are dying right now. Some are replaced by new neurons while others are not. And yet the continuity of you still exists.
I'm more inclined to think that the ticket prices were set too low to begin if these scalpers are able to find buyers at higher prices. Personally, I'll just watch (or not watch) the stuff on TV.
Paranoid much? Shit, you could say that about new hardware as well. How do you know the manufacturers didn't put some virus/trojan, inadvertently or maliciously, on the devices you bought (especially now that most of those devices are made in China)?
Because MS is not a person in the ways that count. You can't put MS in jail because that would mean building a new prison complex to house 100k+ people. They also have better marketing and a better skill set than most ex-cons.
Depends on the definition of "use." If you mean firing all at once, then yes, epileptics have that issue. However, just because a neuron is not firing does not mean that it is not doing something and/or receiving signals. BTW neurons don't just receive signals from other neurons, they receive signals from other tissue in the form of hormones.
Large organizations like Amazon, Google, WalMart, Target, etc should absolutely be required to be accessible. Small sites like my local pizza joint likely can't afford it.
Those small businesses most certainly can afford it. Your local pizza joint already has to comply with ADA laws at their physical presence (wheelchair accessible restrooms, etc.). Compared with the time and cost of complying with ADA at a physical location, altering the website of a local joint for ADA compliance is rather trivial.
So we lost manufacturing and technology. All we have remaining is "intellectual property" which is really a thing that is not universally agreed upon. The things that made the US great aren't here any longer and while many of us were complaining about it leaving, government paid off by big business persisted in letting it happen.
US manufacturing output has become more efficient. Our manufacturing output is still greater than China's (can't find 2009 data). Of course we can't really expect that to last since China and India actually have more people.
The ICE is coupled at above 70 mph because it's more efficient to drive the wheels directly at that speed rather than indirectly via the battery and electric motor. That doesn't change the fact that the vehicle can still be used if the ICE is ripped out.
Let's put it this way: if you remove the ICE in a Volt, will it still run? Of course, with about a 40 mile range. Seems like an electric vehicle to me. Can you do that in a Prius? Not without a conversion kit. As I see it, as it is, the Volt is an electric vehicle with an ICE tacked on whereas the Prius is not.
Depends. Are corporations subject to AMT or not? Probably not. An individual able to afford the $41,000 + tax will likely be subject to AMT and not able to take that $7500 tax credit.

That's redundant! Sarcasm is irony.

I'm surprised they didn't mention incidents where people actually died, such as the Therac-25 incident.

There are some things that really can't be taught without schooling. Medicine/surgery come to mind.

What's the difference between an identical twin and a clone? It's all just semantics at this point.
I don't see what the problem is. Isn't that what DNS is for so I don't have to type 216.34.181.45 in the address bar if I want to access slashdot.org?

Any program I run should be have the option of being sandboxed by the the OS if I so choose.

Yes, Microsoft was able to branch out by spreading mediocrity but the world was a lot less tech savvy then.
The world is still not very tech savvy, mostly because people are people. Look how well 419 scams and emails work.
I'm still waiting for them to release Song of the South.

Not just personal websites, but personal stuff on commercial websites may also not be affected (and should not either):

The problem is that other groups will claim racism due to said profiling. And then after that, them terrorists will be recruiting white 71 year olds.
Not only in servers, but most vehicles have a several PowerPC chips in them for the ECU and other ancillary units.
