To avoid using minutes to check voicemail, call the phone from a landline, let it go over to voicemail, and then hit * or # (depends on the network) and enter your passcode. It won't cost you any minutes to retrieve your voicemail this way.
The FDA made the drug companies put acetaminophen into the narcotic painkillers to keep people from recreationally overdosing on them (same as they "denature" ethyl alcohol that you can buy at the hardware store by poisoning it with methyl alcohol), and then when druggies take large doses anyway and cause liver damage and death, the FDA is *surprised*?
Look at the photo, it's an obvious photoshop. The shackle is too thin to contain an LED display, and I don't know of any curved displays like in the photo. Also, the shackle is too thin to contain batteries, there's no wire from the ball if it were to have them, and there's no room that I can see for any kind of electrically-powered solenoid or locking device. It looks like a Halloween costume prop with a display photoshopped onto it. Besides the fact that it's totally ridiculous. Someone is messing with us.
Keep in mind that Google doesn't have lock-in like eBay or MySpace or Twitter. One person using using Google doesn't benefit from all the other people using it (as is the case with auctions or a social networking site). If someone comes up with a better search engine, it's extremely easy for people to type in something besides google.com for their search needs.
You're forgetting that there's more than one drug company, and that they're all very greedy. If one company came out with a cure, they'd be able to take the business from all of their competitors who are merely selling treatments. Also, as the recent economic situation should make clear, these companies would rather have some money now than more money later.
Here's what I want: I want a robot to fold laundry. I want a robot to scrub the bathroom. I want a robot to prepare a meal. I want a "robot" to drive my car wherever I'd like.
These things are very hard for robotics. The problem isn't that people can't come up with good ideas, the problem is that only the lousy ideas can be implemented.
I hear about very few collisions being the cause of accidents, usually it's something else. So even if it's "close" sometimes, the sky is a pretty big place, and safety margins are there for a reason. So, what did the statistics say about the cause of crashes?
Actually the problem with freezing isn't the expansion, the cells could stretch enough to allow that. The problem is the ice crystals that tend to slice up the cells like a million tiny rasor blades. A further problem is cracking of the ice while it's going from freezing down to liquid nitrogen temperature.
"We believe most consumers think "Made in USA" means that real manufacturing jobs were provided to U.S. workers in order to make that product. The shoes produced in our U.S. factories are made by U.S. workers using both U.S. and imported materials. Where the level of domestic value is at least 70%, we have labeled the shoe "Made in USA." Where it falls below that level, we have qualified it as containing both domestic and imported materials. This determination is based in part on a survey of consumers conducted by the FTC." --New Balance Inc.
Since you mentioned shoes, I'll say that New Balance makes most of theirs in the US (and clearly labels which they are). In addition, they seem to hold up very well. I usually wear out shoes quickly (read: I'm a fat motherfucker) but the New Balance ones seem to last about twice as long as comparable "sweat shop" shoes.
This is actually even worse. It could be argued that someone might buy a CD or a movie if they were unable to pirate it. But, you can't say that google would get more legitimate clicks if they could eliminate the fake ones.
What I think they're referring to is that the electricity that would be used by air conditioning during peak hours during the day would be enough to recharge the cars at night, so the transmission capacity is already there. The current limiting factor is generation, not transmission.
Something like 95% of patents never actually make it into production. People patent the stupidest things, just check out google patent search http://www.google.com/patents and see all the crap that people pay good money to patent. People also patent things for other reasons besides wanting to produce the invention, such as to sell the patent, or to keep a competitor from using the invention. Just because it shows up in a patent application doesn't mean it'll be coming out in the near future. Heck, there are plenty of patents for perpetual motion machines, which stopped after the patent office started demanding a working example.
It's true that the merchant is responsible if they accept a stolen credit card. However, in a case of identity theft, like this one, the credit card company is responsible. It's the same idea as if someone didn't pay their credit card bill, Visa doesn't come after the merchants for it.
I sent him an email about a year ago thanking him for a great show. I learned a ton about science from that show, even stuff that helped me with high school and college physics. I'm very sad to hear about this.

Why didn't they do this in New York? I'm still being charged sales tax because they kept the affiliates.
If a textured surface doesn't increase traction, why do they bother putting treads on tires? Wouldn't smooth tires work just as well?

Slashdot needs to quit posting these jokes and post some news about the current DNS outage...
You'd pay it? Must be nice to just have $28,000 laying around...

That was the point, it IS uncommon here, that's the problem.
What the fuck is that?

Yep, we need ethernet. Got to be able to run stuff over the network. Especially for a HTPC.

This probably would be a treatment. If you stop blocking the enzyme, it probably comes back.
Also, it would be a new drug that could be patented, as opposed to insulin, which is no longer patented (if it ever was).

The electricity would be cheaper than the equivalent gasoline.

I did get a reply from his secretary, saying that she told him about the email. I hope she really did.
