It's is a biographical history of the 1950s woman who's cancerous cells (HeLa) are now used throughout the world as a research tool. It's an interesting look into the development of scientific research ethics (there was no consent given at the time), civil rights, biological patents and commercialisation but in an incredibly readable way. I would think the upper-end of your age group would quite enjoy it.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice won't get sex with robot again.

If you're looking for an answer to the slow decline of Slashdot.org here it is: .jp has the news that matters!

Insects breathe through their skin. Covering it in a polymer is like putting a plastic bag over your head: You might not be dead yet, but lifeless-huskiness is just a few moments away.

Since when did Slashdot start doing real journalism?

Bootstrap: CSS made simple!

It makes a lot more sense if you interpret "simple" to mean "generic".

Well, there's one big object will all of the functions in it.

That's OO right?

I guess I don't mind because I think I spent weeks getting Wing Commander Privateer to run on my computer from with a floppy with custom config.sys & autoexe.bat files. There were others, but Privateer was the one I remember the most frustration with.

This. I remember a group of 3 of us sitting over a 486 fiddling with config.sys and autoexec.bat files for hours on end. Adding and removing HIMEM.SYS, EMM386. Rearranging the order things were loaded to squeeze the last bit of memory out of the machine.

It was like that scene in Apollo 13. But with snacks.

Ah right, well I'm with you on that one.

I never liked the woman but I still find comments along the lines of "at last, shes gone!" a bit strange since - as you say - she's been irrelevant for a long time not to mention incapacitated by Alzheimers. She was 'gone' when she lost power. I guess we can recognise the end of her as a living political icon (both positive and negative) but that's just paving the way for even more mythologising of who she was.

North Korea is far more interesting, I'll grant you that.

Top quote so far from John Major: "She made the wind".

Ah right, I get you. I didn't realise the folder support might not be there - it would probably cause more trouble than it's worth pulling individual folders separately and trying to remove duplications (multiple-tagged). Since they've apparently already copied over the All Mail folder for all their users you're right that the simplest fix would be pull the Trash and remove anything that is in there from the user's accounts.

Seems like the sort of thing you'd test before migrating all your live user accounts.

What does Yvonne Lee, Community Manager at Dice.com think about all this?

Haven't heard from her in a while.

I was a bit surprised to see it here too - but find it hard to believe you can't see it being newsworthy "anywhere". Not even in the UK?

Would you really prefer another story about Bitcoins?

Can't see her without seeing the Spitting Image puppet of her. Enjoy.

I was at an anti-Poll Tax march with my mum, at the tender age of 9. Seems like an age away now.

Surely they could just opt to sync every folder except the "[Gmail]/All Mail" folder. Doing that, and syncing [Gmail]/Trash to the Yahoo! deleted mail equivalent would sort it all out.

I think you're right though. Sounds like the people handling the migration just aren't very familiar with the Google IMAP interface.

Huh? That's the correct way to pronounce Linux.

Well I never... Everyone I've ever heard saying it in person has pronounced it 'Lyenux' but even Wikipedia now lists 'Linnux' as the correct pronunciation (I didn't edit it. Honest).
