"A patient getting a liver transplant for a neuroendocrine tumor that has spread from the pancreas might get a partial organ, Brower said. Complete organs that come from cadavers are in short supply, and are generally reserved for patients with liver failure, cirrhosis or certain kinds of liver cancer, he said."
Cancer - that's actively spreading to the liver - seems to be a very active kind of cancer doncha think? You know what also causes cirrhosis? Chemo. Granted that's speculation - just in the same way I'd speculate a large splat on the ground with human remains next to a tall building was probably the result of someone falling out of the building. But that'd just be speculation. Here's some speculation - why doesn't Apple and Jobs STFU with the memos and let his private life be private? Oh right - the stock might be affected like that splat mark. Better get another memo ready that reads as accurately as one from the Soviets denying health problems for Andropov, Brezhnev and Chernenko aka: the ABC's of dead Russian leaders.
Hey I know - call Gawker liars again - that's always fun. PR apologists need more fun in their lives. Go nuts.
re:"It seems to me that many people with health problems have had periods in which, although they are receiving medical care, doctors simply haven't yet figured out that there is an additional problem, or what the cause of that problem is."
Oh come the fuck on. Get a clue will you? Protein problem? Sounds like he's not getting enough "Power-Shakes". He had a RELAPSE OF CANCER - which required MORE CHEMO - which left him TOO WEAK TO BE ONSTAGE FOR PROLONGED PERIODS - and eventually - IMPACTED HIS LIVER AND NOW IT NEEDS A TRANSPLANT.
None of this shit would happen in 7 days, and is nowhere in the same league of denials and misdirection. It's actually pretty pathetic as misdirection goes because - as Dan Lyons pointed out - it's akin to a cheating wife denying any misconduct - then saying a meeting took place - then saying some dining took place - then saying it was an old flame etc etc etc.
Speaking of denial - welcome to the land of. What's the view like? I hear it's super!
erm - no - you can shut your trap and claim "it's a private matter" - which it most certainly is. OR you can try to send out information that's a flat-out lie to preserve equity in a manipulation scheme. Now, whether that's the intent is up for investigation - but spreading information that is flat out bullshit - instead of, say, shutting the fuck up merits scrutiny. Whose manipulating the stocks? Well, I think the SEC will be looking at the PR flack typing up all those press releases first, and work their way up the food chain.
Nice corporate apologist tho. Ever thought of going into PR? You're a natural.
Problem is they lied and denied his condition. There's a difference between saying nothing - and pushing out misinformation to manipulate stocks. That's a no-no.
Wow. A misanthropic fag on Slashdot. How fucking novel. How common.
I look forward to someone in your family getting cancer, and your eventual death while drunk behind the wheel. The best part of people like you? You die. Just knowing that brings a smile to my face.
Sure - because Steve Jobs loves to remind himself of product lines that were developed by the people who fired him in the 80s. Are you fucking insane? BTW - you know why Apple shovled their "museum" of macs out the door? Not because "Steve isn't nostalgic" but because most of that crap was built while he was gone. My fave is SJ didn't even touch a Mac during his return until OSX was shipping. He used NeXTstep on an IBM thinkpad.
I'm starting to wonder if the thing's capable of working at all. It might be too big and complex to function for long, if ever. Either have machines design the next one or wait for evolution because the car driving apes have hit a wall.
Good idea. Actually scary timing on that comment (and this thread). Want to help me finish loading my pod as I return to the Valley of the Sun? I always like to point out that DST never does any favors to a state where the summer months need extra sunlight like John McCain needs extra sunlight.
The thing is rife with jokes about it being a robot. What's there to fool? Now if it had been playing at being human I could see that - but any questions with food in it get a snarky reply that a robot shouldn't eat. Again - what's to be fooled by?
Shh! You FOOL! Those are Wall Mart's cover story for their impending death-satellite campaign. You're not supposed to mention them until AFTER the attack.
One more word outa you, and you'll be a door greeter in Topeka for the next 5 years.
Fine but the only person who I can think of who has the right tone and voice for such an outing is Terry Pratchett. Read "Good Omens". With Neil Gaiman he really nailed the narration interruptions (check out his footnotes) and the general English humor. Anyone else would be a waste of time. Neil Gaiman might also do a reasonable attempt but he lacks some of the edge that Terry had and would keep it from being overly focused on the place rather than all the niddling distractions along the way - which was the whole point of DNA's work - if they had a point other than infuriating his publishers with missed deadlines.
You will comment on something you aren't "interested" in. Funny - most fuckers don't bother with threads they have no interest in. Almost like you're a sterile nerd fag loser. This of course amuses me. Keep it up.
Apple won't give a shit, and neither will the general public! I hear Richard Stallman could use some more wackos tho. Give him an email.

LHC Success!

· Score: 1
2 points - cosmic rays move fast and don't hang around the earth. The LHC is kind of immobile and is most certainly - hanging around. Cosmic rays of the kind that could cause problems are infinitesimal in their interactions with the earth. This little toy is going to be doing interactions billions of times a hour. Might be some higher odds to play with there.
And to the moron who wrote the summary, "We're still alive" - um - it'll be weeks before they bring the beams together at top speed. But no problem on the summary - science shit is hard and fucking stuff lolcats fuck you asshole motherfucker.
Yes, I'm surprised at the batteries required. I tested some e-ink at a focus group at Monsanto in 1994, and it could be activated by the power in your own fingertips. Why the hell they were "racing the clock" and mucking about with lithium I have no idea.

Just burn down the building if they take away your red stapler. That's great fiction too.

Cnn, MSNBC, Ruetters and AP have nothing on this.
Either they didn't think this would work - or someone at Space X might want to send an email - or something.
