So you're saying that forcing women to cover some, but not all, of their breasts is as oppressive as forcing women to wear a burqa? Next time I see a woman in a voter registration line, I'll be sure to bring that up.

Maybe you're right. Maybe a person's body part is only as sexual as they decide it is for whatever task they are carrying out at the moment.

Hmm... I have to make a trip to the public library.

You're not turned on by boobs are you?

They want a computer algorithm that can single out a specific voice in a crowded area and convert it to a text feed...

Who thinks this will be of more interest to the intelligence community than the we-just-want-to-build-a-friendlier-robot comunity?

Hmm, don't they lock down OS's so that you CAN get work done? Example: I'm not locked out of slashdot and I'm totally commenting here instead of doing work.

I'm the kind of person who:

1) Is familiar enough with my top sites to know which search engine they can't be found on.
2) Never uses bookmarks.
3) Is not familiar enough with my top sites to remember the address.

Oh yeah, I don't know if this means anything but...

4) I Google "bing" to find bing.com

Dude, we call it SyFy now.

The problem with behavioral research done in Uganda is that it really only applies to Uganda. In a land where unprotected sex and STD infection is out of control, circumcision seems to help protect men. Doctors are stumped as to what it is about the modified penis that adds the additional protection, but statistics don't lie. Right?

It is my understanding that these studies do not count sexual partners or encounters, they merely have follow-ups with men who chose to get the circumcision procedure done. Far from being an in depth behavioral study, they don't explore any of the cultural or social consequences of having a circumcised penis in a largely uncircumcised nation. Scientists just checked in a few years later and did some blood work.

Now these studies are being quoted in an effort to influence US policies. It's so-so science being applied idiotically.

I thought Apple already proved the best way to fight digital piracy is to offer an extremely well stocked library that is shinier and easier to use than torrents. People will pay for convenience.

A year ago, it was reported Apple made 556 million in music sales on iTunes.

In fact, if you actually learn the lessons of the music industry, going digital is extremely profitable. Frederick Stamphammer, the RIAA Vice-President of Digitization says this is how the music industry is weathering the economic crisis.

The game plays my music! The hero has my face and looks just like me! The characters are saying things I recorded! It's my voice! Me! The game! Me!!

This article does a lot to hype up a non-existent niche that Apple may or may not be going into. Despite the author's tone, narcissistic gaming is not a revolution.

Yay, diplomacy!

Great info!

Sounds like MS is either mislabeling or mis-marketing this version of Windows. Had they called it Windows 7 Netbook Edition, it probably wouldn't cause so much uproar.

Honestly, I wouldn't expect to pay less than a $100 for a new version of Windows, so I'm pretty much ignoring this Starter Edition stuff. Nothing under a $100 could possibly good enough, right :)

Oh crap, mood tattoos.
