They're not brining a dead heart back to life. They're getting rid of the cells for the dead heart leaving the extracellular structures intact and then reseeding this structure with new cells. Pretty neat. You'll still get rejection issues only if you use cells that aren't from the recipient of said heart. Otherwise, if you're able to use recipient cells to seed, there will be no rejection issues.
Thanks for the patch. The tcl/tk version compiles under Linux as well now. One problem: the game is too large for my screen! I'm running at 1024x768 and the game looks to be slightly larger, but I can't tell what resolution it requires.
Yeah, I don't get that one myself. Is God really a proper name? I thought his name was Jehovah (or some other translation). That's like saying my name is Human.
Yes, and this company will, for some reason, still be within the confines of Sun's buildings. In fact this new company's CEO will have his/her office right next to McNealy's. Walking through this building will cause you to enter the new company and then Sun every few steps...
Yes I do agree that state licensing is rather abysmal. I see where you're coming from. I'm a pathologist. Yet my state medical license states that I can legally practice medicine and surgery (which is rather insane if you ask any reasonable person). On the other hand, there must be some way to say that a particular computer forensics lab is not just some shady operation, especially if the evidence provided is going to be presented in court. Although it shouldn't be a PI license that provides this evidence.
Although I don't think the license should be a PI license. Rather, it should be computer forensics license. Someone with a PI license doesn't necessarily know jack about computers.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but Microsoft does pay a dividend. In fact, several years ago, they also paid a special dividend of $3/share to unload parts of the $40 billion hoard that people were criticizing them for keeping.
I'd like to see a huge transition from HDD to solid state disks (i.e., 2.5" and 3.5" flash-like drives), as well as from CISC to RISC processors, especially for servers running on the x86 architecture.
Uh, what? Harddisk to solid state disk makes sense for a laptop but the cost/GB is too high, especially if you have racks and racks of servers. As for CISC vs. RISC, it's amazing that people still bring this up. For most modern processors (PowerPC, x86, etc), the CISC and RISC distinction doesn't make any sense whatsoever anymore.
By putting the issue on GNOME and KDE, it puts the onus on the correct programmers to solve the problem. I say it's not a Linux problem because it also affects FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, etc. So again it's not a Linux issue.
Well, to be more accurate, it's a GNOME or KDE issue, not Linux. You can't pin the problem on Linux because the issue also affects any other system that uses GNOME or KDE.
Within the past 2 years, I've upgraded my computer twice: once for a new motherboard and CPU and the second for a new CPU. My monitor hasn't changed in that time period.
If I could only choose between the 2 of them, I'd go with the cheaper one. If I could choose anything else, I'd never get an all-in-one computer. I just hate having to part with a good LCD monitor every time I want to upgrade or switch computers.
I wonder why such fishing is not illegal yet. You'd think that someone somewhere would have sued to keep such workers from working in such conditions. Oh well, I suppose as a society, we value our seafood more than the people who catch them...
Somewhat, but not really. Although corporations can own land and be sued (just like individuals), they can't, for example, get married or obtain a driver license.

I want my avatar to be the director of NASA and propose budgets that get shot down by congress!

Yes. Go buy yourself a harddrive enclosure that has a USB interface.
Smash the things into itty-bitty pieces. Very (very very) strong magnets work well too.

Not if you cook the meat. Cooking temperatures generally denature protein and render them without function, unless they're prions...
Seeing as there usually isn't an ultraviolet light source in the wild at night, probably nothing much different than non-GFP pigs.
Yes. Next question?

Exactly. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that they're not after you...

And yet Medicare is already paying for such treatments? I'm guessing it was all over the major radiation oncology journals?

With Linux (or almost any other unix-like OS), you can just record off the sound card using ALSA-based tools.

Just tried it. It doesn't work.
In a surveillance society, who watches the watchers?
Somewhat, but not really. Although corporations can own land and be sued (just like individuals), they can't, for example, get married or obtain a driver license.
... will society grant computer intelligences the same rights that us humans do?
