That's ok because it's not got much spam in it.

Ok, first off i know your lying.

Thats better

Uh, when you make professional contacts and they begin to know and trust you, word gets around and when positions come up so does your name. Its called networking? Maybe you dont need to know anything about networks as a MS Stack software developer..

Again, networking. Your just some well tanned bum who lives on the beach and thinks its nice that this new place doesnt have sun 95% of the time. Why the heck WOULD they call you?

Oh yeah, and your like 30 miles from the corporate headquarters of MS, so there are probably a few more MS Stack software developers hanging around.

It turns out working well had nothing to do with making Oracle money =/

This post is the only good thing going for this article....

Let me add that "many" simply means the greater part of, so 3 or 4 could be the answer. If they had said "some" I could believe that to have been 2 or 3. But since the point was to emphasize how little the group knew, If the number was 4 I think they would have preferred to say "most".

So, my take is the actual number is 3.

Hence the motto "Live free or die"...

Or the sample size for full mouth was larger and a better representation of the norm. Or both were the same just too small to draw a conclusion from.

Either way Lurie is correct in asserting that this type of inconsistency results in an inconclusive study.

Consider that the cost of harvesting cord blood is about $1,500 and storing it per year is about $100. For 18 years you spend $3,300 or 1,100 powerball tickets.

Odds of winning the powerball are 1,100 to 195,249,054 (0.0000056%)
Odds of being afflicted with type 1 diabetes and being a part of a case study: 8 in 100,000 (0.00008%)

So actually, you have better odds of actually needing and using your cord blood. Although, as many have suggested, donating is a noble option too.

Maybe if you spent less time vying for first post you would...

Next thing you know it will be the end of the universe and you'll have fast forwarded through everything of substance!

Yes but this guy cant afford a lawyer so a 3 year sentence could still be a possibility!

The core of this planet has been hot for billions of years, perhaps it could be coaxed it into staying hot for billions more. A couple of well placed moons might gravitationally provide some heat in the core.

Also the planet could be stocked with water to provide thermodynamic energy, O2, and water for us and plants. Not sure how effective a big layer of ice is against gamma radiation, but it couldnt hurt.

And who says we have to have a large population, just big enough to withstand any disasters that might befall us along the way (earthquakes, radiation, comets, etc...).

The concepts of desalination are certainly quite simple, its the economics that are complicated.

This is awesome, we can use up all our fresh water and would have an unlimited supply of salt water!

I'm not sure whats cooler, Patrick commenting on /. or the fact that he's browsing at 1.

Congrats on the new release Patrick, and all the slackware crew!

I think in this case there is some implied confidentiality given to the student. Maybe she didnt name names (I did not RTFA), but perhaps the identity could have been inferred by those in the class or their parents.

Frankly though, if i were a school administrator, trying to keep students in school, or attract more students to the school, i would argue that she is damaging the public image of the institution and thus financially harming it.
