I remember when the G5 Tower was first introduced, to demonstrate the compute-power of the G5, they had some guy come on stage and show a real-time animated display of all the (I assume unclassified) objects in Earth orbit.

IIRC, it was announced that the software that did this was going to be available... And then, nothing. I just assumed the MIBs put the kibosh on the release for some "National Security" type-excuse.

Glad to see that this is becoming available.

So nice to see that we live in a coun-- Hey! Who are you! You can't come in h

Apparently you know something I don't. They specifically put in the separate facilities to cater to the faddists. Not one word about Celiac disease. Already the demand has fallen way off. Deal with it, and quit making stuff up to argue about.

That isn't even the argument. No doubt a celiac sufferer will need to avoid all gluten sources. But just imagine if restaraunts all had to essentially provide separate kitchens for each allergy. Might get a little expensive.

It might make more sense to have celiac restaurants, although the numbers are probably too low to be econommically viable.

Perhaps the best outlook is that for those with the allergy du jour, that celiac sufferers will gain some benefit.

Certainly there's no argument that the celiac sufferers will benefit.

A restaraunt my wife frequents has completely separate grills and utensils for gluten free cooking. That's pretty much fanaticism.

Gluten has replaced peanut allergies as the allergy du jour. If you have celiac disease, you have a real gluten allergy. If not, not as likely

Specifically, it's the protein portion of the seed. And each version of gluten is a little different. Anin in an ironic twist, is one of the meat substitutes for vegans.

I saw a bottle of spring water that was labeled as "gluten free" As the wise man once said "No shit?"

Sounds like a night of drinking cheap wine will cause a gluten allergy.

A real gluten allergy like Celiac disease will have some of those symptoms you described, certainly people with celiac know something is really off within themselves.

But it isn't common at all.

I'm more inclined to think that some people who eliminate processed wheat products from their diets might be eating better in general, might have taken off a few pounds, and if a person is overweight, taking off a bit is a great way to feel better.

But I fear you have opened a floodgate of criticism, we'll hear about how gluten allergies are caused by (insert trendy bugaboo word here) and that you're being an insensitive clod, and a ton of testimonial on how someone cured their gluten allergy, and will live forever because of it.

But don't worry, they'll move on to the next ailment du jour shortly.

I do have to admit, your having no argument except for name calling makes it difficult to even have an idea of what your argmument is. I understand now, that you have no argument.

We can be almost anything we want to in this world. Congratulations on choosing to be an internet troll. You've been fed enough by me.

WINE is a joke. Always was, always will be. It is fighting a losing battle, trying to reverse-engineer a moving target (Windows APIs).

Can't imagine that you would actually propose that as a long-term solution.

Oh, wait. I forgot this is Slahdot; where the more kludgy a "solution" is, the better they like it.

Sure, because Apple would figure that you wouldn't want to listen to an album in track order..

You do know that that little stylized "criss-cross"-looking symbol down near the bottom of the screen in iTunes means "Shuffle", right?

Orwellian might be more like war is peace. or making war for peace.

"Peace through Strength" sounds like a reasonable thing to me. I can't imagine having peace through weakness.

"Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice."

"I could have ended the war in the month. I could have made Vietnam look like a mud puddle"

Exactly. One should never ever go to war unless one is prepared to win it. Limited warfare does not have a good track record.

"You've got to forget about this civilian. Whenever you drop bombs, you're going to hit civilians."

If you are going to be in a war - you will kill civilians. A blunt, yet completely true statement.

"The only summit meeting that can succeed is the one that does not take place."

Perhaps Barry was commenting on the negotiations with the North Vietnamese:

Highlighted by months of arguments over the shape of the table. Perhaps in that context, his remark might not seem odd.

It appears that some folks might take possibly get excited over out of context one liners, and completely ignore his more substantive statements. He was pro choice, pro gay rights, anti fundamentalist, and fiscally conservative, and socially "leave people the hell alone" (my quote)

None of which applies to the Republican party today.

And strong on defense? Yeah, that too. My kinda guy. My kind of conservative

And the neocons are not? They make Goldwater look like the college kids putting daiseys in the rifle barrels of the national Guard soldiers.

Sorry fellow. I offer reasoned ideas, even if you don't agree with them. You call me names and insult me. Takes a lot of temerity to accuse me of fallacies when you don't eve put up an actual argument.

Do you have anything useful to offer?

Coonsider it a challenge for you to respond with a reasoned explanation for the dearth of Women in STEM, and a cure if you think one is possible.

Yeah, one of the things that got me to decide to retire. The idea of an old fart running through the hallways to go fix the latest crisis, was sort of funny to watch, not so much to experience however.

That meanness has been earned. Strict Catholic parents with even stricter Southern Baptist Grandparents.

Remember, that as Catholics, My Grandparents knew we were going to hell. Ever wake up in the middle of the night with your Grandmother praying in tongues at the foot of your bed? Or spend an entire Sunday being preached at, looking out the window, and getting long winded explanations of just how God was going to punish me forever and ever for not paying rapt attention for my 10 hours of fun? Some times I felt like the character Squee (Jhonen Vasquez cartoon character of an innocent among horrible kooks) while growing up

So I have very little patience for the religious, especially the fundies. If that makes me mean, oh yeah - I'm mean.

Are you seriously trying to say that a pro-choice candidate could ever get the Republican nod for president?

You even see Republican presidential candidates, when asked if they believe in evolution, making a canned reply of "Well, I'm not a scientist", as if caving to a batshit insane idea of 4004 bce creation date is a possibility..

The Neocons, that trotskyist group that wants eternal war in the middle east - and has probably pretty much succeeded in entrenching us in it, are yet another group that has taken over the republican party. If democrats had brough in a foreign speaker to contradict a republican presidents policies, they'd be screaming for the gatling guns to be unleashed upon anyone to the left of the KKK. They are just one more group that has hijacked the republicans. But they are just one more addition, not the single group

We'll just have to disagree on the extent of the Reigious right's influence. I'm saying if you can't pass their litmus tests, you will not be the parties presidential nominee. I see no change in that coming. Already, in the crowded primary field, we have a group that seems to think that they have to increase the nutty by 100 percent over 2012, which was also a big increase from 2008.

And for a person like myself, who views the political spectrum not as a left-right straight line, I see the further you get from the center, the closer left and right extremists become in actuality, if not rhetoric.

LOL! GREAT comeback!!!
