The theory of how this works is that it is a purified version of microfracture, which is now prevalent (especially among athletes) and accepted. Microfrature works because the stems cells from the bone marrow form new cartilage, which produces hyaline cartilage material, but also lots of stuff you don't want, making the result inferior to pure hyaline cartilage (called fibrocartilage). So in theory, if you remove the crap (isolate the stem cells), you can get a more pure cartilage formation.

It makes sense and Regenerative Sciences is claiming something like an 80% success rate. Microfrature was controversial at its infancy, but the results spoke for themselves and the sports industry took notice and became early adopters. A similar thing is happening now with stem cell therapy as athletes have taken notice (Bartolo Colón, Jarvis Green). I've been watching Regenerative Sciences for 3-4 years looking for the negative reports to come on (fraud, etc) and haven't seen them. Instead I've seen them rise in popularity, branching out and publishing (results as well as safety and complication data). They're claiming very good results and behaving responsibly as far as I can tell.

I currently have a MacBook Air, which is a nice piece of hardware, but I've yet to stamp out all issues (hangs on external display, random suspend borks, etc) running Ubuntu. If they deliver a laptop of similar quality with everything working nicely, I will buy it.

If you're talking about ABC/NBC/FOX, just use over the air digital and you can still watch the talking heads in 1080i or 720p.

I did the math once. Sorry I'm too lazy to look up figures and do the math now, but at 10 cents per kWH (rate where I live) and the range per battery capacity drained for the Volt (miles per kWH or whatever units you want), the "mileage" (comparing electric to gas costs) works out to be about 100 miles per gallon for full electric operation. Using inifinity makes it sound as if electric is free. BTW, I'm all for electric cars and I'm drooling over the Tesla Model S.

Ditto. Another N900 owner here. I'm amazed when new phones don't do this when my relatively old N900 has always had really good contact account integration. Also, Skype and SIP are well integrated into the phone app and all messaging including SMS is integrated. Without looking at an indicator icon, you may not know whether you're using SMS or an IM protocol. Or you may now know if you're receiving a cell call or a Skype call.

It's funny that MS is advertising features from the platform they're trying to kill.

Python is strongly typed. Maybe you mean statically typed.

Also, dose is not the only factor to consider. The scanners are designed to concentrate radiation on a single organ - your skin, where as the radiation you encouter in flight is more equally distributed. Also, the duration of exposure is important. Receiving a particular dose over a few milliseconds is more harmful than receiving the same dose over an hour or two.

The perfect slashdoter analogy.

Much better than car analogies. Long live restaurant buffet analogies!

And that's why the Roku plug-in stick version is great. I've got a new Samsung "Smart TV", and the smart part is not so great. The interface is clunky (as is the remote) and slow. I actually like my Roku box better. My TV is "all" that you see since I don't a cable box or anything hooked up to it and I don't have a place to hide a box that needs to see "IR", so I'm really looking forward to the streaming stick (or whatever they call it) that takes commands through the TV and will simple to hook

and/or something similar to the Professional Engineer (P.E.) system. After you receive your engineering degree, pass the Engineer in Training (EIT) exam, and receive your Fundamentals of Engineering (F.E.), you must work (in my state at least) for 4 years under a licensed P.E. (essentially an apprenticeship) before you can even take the P.E. exam and apply for a license.

Sorry. You're just wrong about the progressive download thing. And it's not in the scope of HTML5 to define bitrate or fragmented delivery. Fragmented delivery is turf for HTTP and bitrate is for the browser or embedded player.

14.35.2 Range Retrieval Requests

HTTP retrieval requests using conditional or unconditional GET methods MAY request one or more sub-ranges of the entity, instead of the entire entity, using the Range request header, which applies to the entity returned as the result of the request:

            Range = "Range" ":" ranges-specifier

Please read the HTTP 1.1 RFC

The only real advantage "real raid" has over "fake raid" is the battery backed cache, so if it doesn't have that, you're probably better off with "fake raid". Your system CPU is faster than the CPU on board (plenty fast for parity calculations) and with "real raid", you have yet another OS (the board's firmware) to keep updated and hope doesn't crash and take our your file system.

I'd rather have the OS handle the disks so there's no mystery disk format and I have complete control from the OS level. ZFS and BTRFS are the future and make more sense than using separate MD and FS layers. Still, a battery backed write cache is a nice thing to have and it would be cool to have those built into the disks.

I'm about 6 months into standing. I use a soft pad under my feet and swap out a bar stool if I feel tired. I also take frequent walks, using the time to find solutions to what I'm working on. I shifted to standing after finding that I couldn't sit for more than 15 minutes without back pain, which began after a few months of increased sitting time. Standing offered immediate relief.

I'm no stranger to physical activity, so I don't think the lack of exercise was the culprit. In fact, exercise has always been an integral and enjoyable part of my life. I played about every sport I could as a kid and teenager including varsity and recreation. In my 20s I continued to play rec sports and even competed (and won) in bodybuilding. I still play soccer, train with weights, bike (great trails here), but the the one thing that causes me pain is the chair.

It's becoming obvious that browsers need to support a runtime like LLVM in addition to or instead of javascript. That way, the developer could use their language of choice and just compile to LLVM byte code instead of to javascript. I would think it should be easier to optimize performance for LLVM byte code that for javascript. Would there be any downsides except for the fact that it does not exist already?

And why must "fun" and "enterprisey" be exclusive? If your definition for enterprisey is scalable and risk-averse, why can't a language that is pleasant to use meet those requirements?

I maintain hope for a language, compiler/runtime, and library that allows me to easily communicate my solution without being distracted by the language implementation (fun), while offering good performance and scalability. As for being risk-averse, there are never any guarantees there and I doubt you'll find that the great successes and advancements of the past belong to the risk-averse.
