Maybe the Catholics need to be sainting the scientists? My cyborg implant was certainly a medical miracle!
Click the sig to see what I mean; I have a device replacing my eye's lens. I was extremely nearsighted all my life, then became farsighted as well, now my vision is better than 20/20. Oddly, modern science was started in the middle ages by the Catholic church! Disclaimer: I'm not a Catholic, but if Billy Joel is right I should be; he sang "the Catholic girls are easy".
I always found a bit distressing those gadgets for electrically inducing movements of limbs. The calbes hanging out and connecting the limbs with the processor, I dunno, just terrible
As a cyborg myself I think I would prefer cables to a wheelchair and attendant.
But yes, corrective nerve surgery would be even better.
"We are against abortion until the fetus grows up and murders someone, then the adult fetus should be aborted by hanging, firing squad, electrocution, or lethal injaction."
Support abortion of adults like all good pro-lifers
Day 9: Mommie, that troll is AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHGHHHH---------
Day ten: Mommy, I am okay. I am in the flying spagetti monster's arms. he is holding me. He told me about kitten huffing and baby-eating trolls. Why didn't you want to eat me Mommy?
One more heart that never started. Two more eyes that never grew. Two more hands that will never exist and didn't exist. One more mouth that will never eat babies.
If it was financial data I might agree with you, but this guy destroyed medical records. How would you feel if all your medical records were destroyed? Especially if you were right in the middle of chemo, or radio, or treatment for AIDS?
This guy's sentence was not only just, I think it should have been longer. I have a freind in Dwight Correctional Center (a maximum security women's prison in Illinois) for selling a couple of joints to an undercover cop. Are you telling me that destroying medical records is less harmful that marijuana?
How long before the disgruntled sysadmin replaces the disgruntled postal worker in the zeitgeist?
I, for one, would rather see dead servers than dead people. And, to put things in a different perspcctive, a friend's brother spent five years in a federal prison in the 1980s for loaning money to a dope dealer; the charge was "conspiracy to distribute cocaine".
What does more damage, loaning monsy to a drug dealer or wiping hundreds of people's medical records? If it had been financial data I might be a bit more sympathetic to the dumbass suicide logic bomber, but I know I'd be pissed if all my medical records were lost.
"At a CES forum, representatives of AT&T and other ISPs discussed the need to filter traffic at the network level, to stop the transfer of copyrighted material. An AT&T spokesman said
Not wanting to RTFM, exactly WHY should ISPs filter traffic? The DMCA holds the ISP blameless for what goes through their "pipes".
...they 'would have to handle such network filtering delicately, and do more than just stop an upload dead in its tracks, or send a legalistic cease and desist form letter to a customer. "We've got to figure out a friendly way to do it, there's no doubt about it," he said.'"
Like not stopping legitimate copyrighted traffic.
After all, in this century (for the first time ever) as soon as something is "affixed in tangible form" copyright is granted. Everything on the internet save anything created before 1920 is copyrighted.
All ISPs have to do to keep copyrighted material off their networks is shut down the fucking network!
My friends' music is copyrighted. They want it shared. Star Wreck is copyrighted. They want it shared. Linux and other FOSS is copyrighted and they want it shared.
Good luck filtering out "Star Treck - The Search for Spock" from "Star Wreck - In The Pirkinning".
ISPs need to mind their own damned business and leave my internet traffic alone. Keep the files I can legally transmit from transmitting and you'll hear from my lawyer. This is entirely unaceptable. My ISP has no obligation nor right to filter traffic.
"That which doesn't kill me makes me stronger". Nietzsche, wasn't it, who said that? I imagine some of the quadraplegic mice woukd take issue with that statement.
Actually, a self-driving car WOULD get better gas mileage. Computers aren't reasonable, but they're logical.
It wouldn't race to the next red light, but infuriate you (like I do my passengers) by taking its virtual foot off the virtual gas pedal as soon as the light ahead turned red
It wouldn't waste gas idling at the green light with its finger up its ass
It wouldn't go east to get west (unless Microsoft made its nav system)
It wouldn't pick the route with the most stop signs
You can already improve your mileage on the interstate (or autobahn) by using your cruise control.
I'll be 65 (or 66 depending) years old. I hope I don't get the attitude my dad (now 76) has about computers and cell phones, "I lived [n} years without [x] and I don't need one now!"
His father in law said the same thing about indoor plumbing.
It will have a resolution of able to detect every active galactic nucleus out to a redshift of 6, when the universe was less than 1 billion years old and way crazy.
IIRC, domain squatting is illegal. I think all that needs to be done, if NSI is indeed doing this, is to document it thoroughly and send a nice explanatory letter to the Attorney General.
IIRC every stinking politician in the US, including the Attorney general, is bought, sold, and owned by the corporations. So don't hold your breath waiting for any action, they're too busy looking for terrorists.

I've never been to a Muslim country. They don't chop off Muslim thieves' hands here.
No, I never went to Europe. But I was in Thailand in the Air Force in 1974, they could have REALLY used some self-driving cars there. K-Razy!
Not hindered by experience or common sense, either.

I read this same comment yesterday in the RIAA story. Why is Anonymous Coward so behind lately?
"We are against abortion until the fetus grows up and murders someone, then the adult fetus should be aborted by hanging, firing squad, electrocution, or lethal injaction."

Day 1: Mommy, I'm scared, there's some guy that's trying to have sex with me. He looks like a tadpole! Help me!
Day 2: Oh wow that was intense! Oh I do love my sperm cell, he was just AWESOME!
Day 3: Oh look I have a twin sister. No, wait, three sisters. No, seven... thirteen... what's this? They're part of me!
Day 4: Mommie look I'm a mass of cells about the size of the hangnail. I'm not even a fetus and won't be for quite some time, let alone a baby.
Day 5: Oh look, mommie, the parent post is a troll!
Day 6: Mommie, I think you should go to Biters Anonymous for their twelve step program to try and stop biting at trolls.
Day 7: Oh shit mommie's Huffing kittens!
Day 8: I hear trolls eat babies!
Day 9: Mommie, that troll is AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHGHHHH---------

but will they fly?
They might if Microsoft writes the software and they try to exit from the wrong off ramp. There are people dying in flying cars all the time!
Well, what do you expect when you have a holographic doctor doing the driving?

But what about the "warrants" thing? The local cops didn't need a warrant to search my garage last Memorial day!
Isn't that new ultrasonic device Apple's making to take wrinkles out of clothing called the iRon?
I'll be 65 (or 66 depending) years old. I hope I don't get the attitude my dad (now 76) has about computers and cell phones, "I lived [n} years without [x] and I don't need one now!"

Are we there yet?
I thought they were from the Cat detector van?
This is a bit off topic but can someone please edit this summary. Did you even read it? Terrible grammar.
Sorry, she can't do it for you as she died back in '03. And don't talk about her like that!
Speaking of porn-
It will have a resolution of able to detect every active galactic nucleus out to a redshift of 6, when the universe was less than 1 billion years old and way crazy.
Was it trying to kill itself? was it safe for work? Or was it, like me, buying beer, pot, and hookers?
Crazy? The craziest part of the universe is Springfield!
