Blah blah blah. You deregulation types don't tone down until you've been had by quacks a few times. Do you realize how hard it is to judge quality in these services and products? Even experts in one area find it hard to make a call about another area.

This. Mod parent up please. Now where are my mod points? I haven't had them in a while!!

Dear God! I want mod points. Someone please mod parent up. Millions of people would sign up at this point. Granted they may not be majority. But they will. Just give access to your services, and do not collect any information.

This is exactly the same as what they show in the movie Gattaca from 1999. How the hell was this patent granted?

Very interesting. To a non-computer science person like me, this is actually mind blowing. Could you provide some (1-2) nice references for this? (Yeah I know, I could Google, but it has been my experience that when I am looking for scientific literature, Google is not comparable to a person in the field). Thanks.

LOL. Wish I had mod points.

Sorry. Nobody wants to die in misery. May be you do. In constant pain, disease, disability, mental decline. I think you are confusing wisdom with age. You can gain experience without aging in the current sense of the word. http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/konovalenko20130227

Yeah. We solved world hunger before we went into space.

If only I had mod points... Sick how many people on this supposedly literate site make this mistake.

No Thank You. I used to use TMN for a while and many times it produced freakish stuff, not harmless looking garbage but the kind that would attract surveillance. Terrible Add On that you do not want unless you want the Feds knocking your door.

Commenting to undo accidental modding...

That may be. The funniest thing is that Unity sucks even more. But still Unity is becoming popular (at least according to TFA).

The best thing I learned from TFA is that someone is developing an incognito version of CyanogenMod. When and if it gets rolled out, the guy deserves to be given money by every privacy-conscious Android user who decides to use it.

This. Mod parent up. If only we could get some informed opinion on Slashdot as opposed to categorical judgments based on group think and most often without even RTFA.

In addition, it is not that it didn't happen, or the extent or the rate. In fact even in the past, it was probably caused by the life around then (their metabolism etc). But guess what? A lot of life perished, including probably the causative agents. So it is entirely conceivable that we are causing it, entirely conceivable that it happened before by other living organisms, and conceivable that Antarctica was warm. But the organisms that caused it most likely ended up extinct.

There are plenty of haters of Gandhi in India, who want to discredit him for being in favor of minorities (like Muslims, Christians, untouchables etc). In fact he was killed by such people. There is to this day a sizeable cultural supremacist fraction who believe in using every forum and medium to reduce the respect and effect of Gandhi. Never knew it gained enough international traction to mod the parent a +5 it got. Truly a sad state of affairs.
