Here's one more for the list. http://apps.doubletwist.com/ I actually like this one quite a lot.

This is utter BS. I don't know where you get this info but it's completely wrong. Fiber doesn't affect fructose transport out of the intestinal lumen and it doesn't affect its metabolism in the liver. You seriously need to buy a biochem book.
Actually he was pretty much correct. Fructose is broken down in the liver to DHAP and GAP. They are both part of the glycolysis pathway and are the same intermediates that can come from glucose. At that point the fructose has become equivalent to glucose. The pathway either leads to pyruvate (post-prandially) or glucose (fasting state). The catch with fructose comes from the initial conversion in the liver. It's relatively slow and ties up phosphate. That's why people with Hereditary Fructose Intolerance get so sick when they ingest fructose, the conversion is even slower and their phosphate levels drop way too low.

If you look at the article you can see that in one years time (2Q 08 - 2Q 09) Apple went from 2.8% to 13.3%, almost a 500% increase. On the other hand, Nokia went down from 47.4% to 45%, a 5% decrease in market share. I am by no means a fan of Apple, but you should really check your info before posting it just makes you look bad. In the long run I really think Android will overtake both of them by sheer number and functionality.
According to this article: http://www.iphoneworld.ca/news/2009/08/13/apple-share-of-smartphone-market-increases-to-133-with-iphone-3gs-introduction/ iPhone has a 13.3% market share compared to Nokia's 45%. I'd say having about 1/3rd of the market size of Nokia when they have been in the mobile phone business for about 1/10th the amount of time is impressive. Also, it doesn't bode well for Nokia's future.
This isn't true at all. The CDMA Hero from Sprint has can NOT switch to GSM and the European GSM Hero can NOT switch to CDMA. If you flash the wrong radio onto the device it will completely brick it. This is the only way that I know of to completely ruin your Hero. I also have no idea why you are talking about the Hero and T-Mo since Sprint and Verizon are the only providers with Hero (Eris) hardware.
If you have 60 women friends you are probably not reading slashdot...
Yeah, maybe they shouldn't have invented stupid things like antibiotics and vaccines because caution wins over dying of systemic infections and thousands of children crippled with polio just to name a few of those sacred life things you want them to respect.
Your kidding right? The tumor formation doesn't happen because the cells are from a different person. The tumors form because by definition stem cells can replicate in a unlimited fashion and sometimes that go out of control and becomes cancer. This is most certainly the case with adult somatic cells that are induced into pluripotent stem cells. You can even argue it is more likely for induced cells to cause tumors because the artificial steps we take to make them stem cells are not completely understood and are in no way perfect. The embryonic stems cells need less manipulation to perform their function because they are naturally primed to do the job and therefore less likely to go out of control.
Yeah, if I had to pick anyone to fail it would be the guy who cofounded MySQl and sold it for a billion dollars. You nailed it, I'm sure nothing his startup does will be successful or be worth money.
Your math is just plain wrong. If you calculate usage for a 30 day month, 24/7, at full 1mbps speed then you would top out at 324 GB which is well above your 250 GB cap.
