Question: What about risks to the donor? Does this stuff regenerate? Are the risks basically same as getting a bit of tissue harvested?

I was actually worried it would not go away. Fortunately today is back-to-business minus a few posts.

I mentioned this earlier, nobody cared. Can we call for a Clojure post spree? Pleeeeeeease? Haskel & Erlang are out and Clojure is in!

Omg this is big-fing-news!!!!! Unlimited sleep mode. Instant resume. No energy wasted sleeping for computers. Huge SSD drives with a fraction of the circuitry. Excitement!

In the last 4 years the only screen saver I have had is "turn off the monitor" No matter how complex or cool it was, turn off the monitor was always the choice. Sure a nifty one recently did impress the co workers with "ooooh linux has nice

Hey, some people go for the lottery, some for court settlements. I have to say it is quite funny her responses. They should counter-respond to that, if iPhone is made by god, why did jobs get paid so much for it. Oh damn. Maybe Apple is god

Erm, no. Dude if I spend my time figuring out vulnerabilities to your system and don't exploit em, instead help you close them, and I am not even a cardholder... I will not jump through any hoops for any amount of my time. They owe me, I ow

TBH I have been thinking about this since 9/11. I doubt it was that philosophical. They wanted to show that they could attack us. And they did. They had ZERO, no tech, no highly trained snipers and marines, very little funding (compare al-q

Its a shame people down-voted this. This is exactly what I meant. I care not about existence vs non-existence but the way people treat it.

Remember that time that Q was forced to become human and was hunted down by that cloud entity for the horrors he inflicted on their culture? Yea... All hail Q.

I second this. While current designs make Asimov's stories seem sci-fi, perhaps when we make the first, the second and third would become more and more trivial. However one note is that Asimov's stories have one common theme that could not

I am in no way claiming the existence or non existence of god. However I am claiming that security measures are exactly like the belief in god (probably a correction is exactly like religions). It makes no difference if it's true.

Um there are working buttons in the elevators I describe, just on a timer. Most of the time its on a timer if active even.

Problem is that not all those are "decisions" people make. Many of those are not decisions but arise out of life circumstances. However many times people do chose to do the "fun" thing and instead of strive for a good job take the easy way

by dlikhten 15y ago
yes, true, but the real fun is in making design decisions with respect to how threads work etc to ensure true concurrency and easy concurrency. Good concurrency frameworks, etc. TBH we can do that now with the GIL by giving ruby code to a c

Forget terrorism. This is EXACTLY the same as God and Elevators. Think about it. Lets start easy: I see people every day come into an elevator and press the door close button like it is the only way to get air. Nobody realizes that the butt

by dlikhten 15y ago
I have to completely disagree. I think GIL is useful in ruby and is a mitzvah, not a sin. Reason: Well bla bla bla unicorn does light-weight forks. But the real fun is in "synchronized" keyword of java. You see, in java multithreading is ha

Meh, sounds good, as long as the do-not-call list is still applicable.

I second this. Can he also be ostracized from the internet completely on all devices/all his locations? In fact hit his office staff too since we are not sure who actually committed the infringement.

Yea, otherwise I threaten you "bribe me or die" on camera. I bribe you, you blackmail me with that footage.

> except Yakuza kill, we just make you homeless. Predatory tactics on both ends, my friend. See the subprime mortgage problem in the US. Like I implied: Yakuza = violent means to an end, US Loans = non violent means to a same end within

If you allow collection by death threat as a legal way to still give money, the Yakuza will just collect money that way always. There must be a way to stop it all. However the law does indicate that ANY involvement with them will screw the

a) What would the new law do regarding Yakuza demanding money or death? I guess any business with them has potential of putting you in a no-win situation where damned if you do damned if you don't. b) She should not have borrowed money. The

Quick question: I thought that vaccines were supposed to be a problem for HIV. They trigger the immune system response which quite literally forces the food of the HIV virus to come to it faster. Vaccines were supposed to speed up the rate

An a serious note, google needs to persue Bing and any similar services using it's patent portfolio. It has important ones like Map-Reduce. Once google gets series it won't matter that MS sues, google can extort MS for cash and feed that mo

to be honest this was fully expected. Most crawlers don't execute any JS or CSS so fine, this one display: hidden, the next would be width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; interpreting css rules without a css engine

And we want to prevent that. Just because it benefits ONE guy or one small group, does not mean its a good idea. It just means that one guy will suffer and have to actually work for a living while the rest of us have a chance.

That data is also skewed. Notice they say "album - $10, song on amazon - $.99" thats wrong. An album may actually be say 10 songs. So 10 songs at $9.99 == 10 songs on amazon at $0.99 -- OPSE miscalculation there. Furthermore there is the co

Your zip code lookup is bad. I typed in 11214, got Boston, not Brooklyn, NY. However you were not kidding about being ZocDoc. Its the same f-ing interface.
