Oh, I missed the memo. Is the revolution here? Is it time to line 'em up against the wall?

But seriously, lawmakers talking of laws being too harsh? Judges releasing people convicted under three-strikes in California? For America with its chart-topping prison population numbers, that's revolutionary enough.

The evolution of sensory organs is satisfactorily explained by an increasingly complex series of organs in different species. ID, on the other hand, has no explanation (not that ID and reality - otherwise known as "science" need to have competing explanations). And Darwin != evolution.

But hey, nice troll.

Brother, you should see the moving part sin a Norelco shaver head. It would put the Bolshoi ballet to shame.

Speaking of which, the most trouble free and long-lasting lithium batteries are in shavers. They run forever, until they die years later!

Can someone clarify for me how exactly this is fighting for freedoms? AFAIK, iOS is pretty locked down, and this is in the EULA. Which ou agree to when you buy the device. I mean, no one who is carrying the mantle of digital freedom is lining up to get one of these iDevices thinking they're doing freedomish stuff, right?

Not slightly.
Imperial gallon = 4.55 l
US gallon =- 3.79 l

Enough to cause a difference of several hogsheads to the gallon and a half.

Thank you. Yes, I'm older than 4. I'm old enough that I didn't think I'd see the day when Nexus7 meant anything other than the next series up from Nexus6!

This is a rare opportunity to use a Slashdot meme on itself. Like when someone complains about a bug or annoyance in Linux, they're told to fix/code it themselves.

Well if you don't like the way the political process works, become a politician and fix it!

They need more transparency and a much higher level of technical (hell, any) knowledge and expertise in the legislatures.

Especially when they can visit North Korea/Missile-Mart (Eric Schmidt and Bill Richardson).

So after you stick your fingers in and puke, you rinse your mouth and drink a lot of water. Don't you do that anyway (I don't mean you personally :)

You mean like this?

There's actually a newer and nicer-looking version of this, but I can't locate it ATM.

There is no "point of free speech." Free speech just is, as is freedoms in general. If there's supposed to be a point to it, who is to determine that it is not being served by some action, so that action should be prosecuted? If the expression of free speech in some way threatens some other fundamental rights, then that expression should be stopped.

Methane emissions have fallen - this implies there's a lot of organic matter in the trash. While incinerating it is faster, I wonder if composting it would be a better long term approach. There are many sources of energy, but organic matter is more valuable as fertilizer. Especially in that it will recover chemicals like phosphorus, of which there's a shortage brewing.

About the cost of transporting it - if a lot of the trash is organic, then they're essentially transporting water, something that becomes evident if you compost.

I dunno if bitch is the right term, but that arrangement tells us that the brilliant idea that the Forbes writer got - MS got there, oh, about 2 years ago.

You said:
"Applied stem cell biology is quite complex,..."

That is the key here. You think it is complex, but looking at the postings above yours, and at least one followup to it, people are thinking that the FDA, scientists, the whole edumacationistic cabal, are making things too complex to preserve their authority. See for example, postings saying there's enough information out there that people can come to their own conclusions and decide for themselves. See how anti-vaccine kooks get copious air-time (any kooks, for that matter) - just because they can't see why the FDA is correct must mean the FDA is wrong.

And there's also this anti-government/libertarian sentiment (why do we need medical regulation, why do we need the dept of education, etc.). In some cases, there is over-regulation and some times regulation does lead to beneficial drugs getting to market later than otherwise, but the FDA exists because the record of the free market in medicine has only debilitating injury and death to show for it.

And I think we're finding this out with there off-shore stem cell facilities too. Only the failures never make it to the marketing material, so these treatments always work, so why should the FDA not let everyone get the benefit, right?

Ah, but then you're assuming he doesn't live in Republico-Fox-News-world.
