From the dead? Sure, why not? Prioritize from areas that would be covered at burial.

Better solution- make all organs automatically donated upon death. The owners don't need them anymore. Then no money needs to be involved at all, and we'd have a ready supply. The family can get what's left of the body after any usable organs have been harvested. Bonus- a system that's actually fair, rather than making money the determining factor.
But a slower moving car is less likely to cause injury in a crash and a rear collision is less dangerous than a side crash. Given a choice of those two, I'd risk being rear ended. But it sounds here to me that either approach alone may have worked, the switch in the middle failed miserably.
Mandriva still sounds like a gay porno.
The debt grew under Reagan. It was 907B in 1980 and 2600B in 1988. Even as a percent of GDP, that's an increase
No, it comes down to explicitness is always better than explicitness. There is no case in which yours is better, or even usable code.
Don't worry- Java people are learning how to make up for that by creating whole incomprehensible sublanguages based on annotation processing that make C macros look good.
Totally disagree. If I see
for(int i: items) {
if(i<10){
results.add(i);
}
}
I know exactly what it does. Anyone who has done any programming in any language can guess what it does. Its simple, easy to read, and if you want can be pulled into a function. Your haskell and Python implementations are unreadable and requires the user to think about each line. They're inferior to straight forward programming by orders of magnitude and should never be used.
They're going to love a new currency. Look at how much they can manipulate a regulated currency to fuck over people and enrich themselves. Image what they can do with an unregulated one.
Its not possible to stop murder. So we should get rid of the laws against it, why bother if it's not possible?
Just because perfection can't be achieved doesn't mean something isn't worth doing.
If I don't get a vaccine, and I infect you (although how is that supposed to happen if you're vaccinated?) have I committed violence upon you?
Yes. Yes you have.
My religion says I can rape and murder members of other religions. In fact its a sacrament. Laws against homicide are an assault on my religious freedom and I MUST be given a choice to not follow them.
My expectations aren't internet bluffing, its taking my RSUs by the current stock price, and adding in my expected bonus. Although if the stock market crashes in the next 6 months it could seriously decrease, its not a 0 risk supposition.
I think you have a lot of wrong information about real cost of living in the valley. My commute is 20-25 minutes each way, and could easily be much lower at the same housing price. This morning it was 35 due to an accident, first time its been over 30 in 6 months. That's lower than most people's commutes are in other places I've lived. Housing is truly disgusting, but even then its a difference of 24K/yr over what I was paying in other cities. Subtract that from the salary. As for hideously crowded- you'd have to pay me 10 times what I make now to live in a less crowded area, what the fuck do you even do all day on weekends in a rural area? No museums, no galleries, no street musicians, no festivals, no events. No thanks. Its not even all that crowded, its just a giant spread out suburb. Crowded would be like Manhattan, which would probably be more fun
I mentioned the city in several cases- assume that until I mention another city its the same as the previous one. But cost of living numbers tend to be really overstated- other than housing the remainder is basically flat anywhere in the US, the 2-3% difference doesn't matter if you aren't living paycheck to paycheck. Subtract out the difference in housing yourself, I have no idea what your base is.
We'll disagree on you having the best housing- for me the best housing means fun things in walking distance with minimal square feet, more room means more work and I hate housework and yardwork. I'd pay extra on a house not to have a yard. The thought of mowing 4 acres all summer makes me physically ill. You'd have to pay me retirement level money per year to live somewhere rural.
Mine started in 01- the year of the dot com crash. He's still underpaid, the problem is he doesn't have the balls to demand more or leave.
