Comment What about freezing terminal patients before death (Score 1) 254

Most of the comments here assume that you would only freeze someone who has already died. What about freezing terminally ill patients in the hopes of thawing them when the cure for their disease (eg. pancreatic cancer) has been found? That way we don't have to worry about getting the corpse to the freezer within five minutes of the time of death, etc. It would also simplify revival because you're not starting with a body that was already so messed up that it died naturally.

LHC Forces Bookmaker To Lower Odds On the Existence of God 457

A UK bookmaker has lowered the odds on proving that god exists to just 4-1 to coincide with the switching on of the Large Hadron Collider. The chance that physicists might discover the elusive sub-atomic object called the "God particle" has forced the odds lower. Initially the odds that proof would be found of God's existence were 20-1, and they lengthened to 33-1 when the multi-billion pound atom smasher was shut down temporarily because of a magnetic failure. A spokesman for Paddy Power said, "The atheists' planned advertising campaign seems to have renewed the debate in pubs and around office water-coolers as to whether there is a God and we've seen some of that being transferred into bets. However we advise anyone still not sure of God's existence to maybe hedge their bets for now, just in case." He added that confirmation of God's existence would have to be verified by scientists and given by an independent authority before any payouts were made. Everyone getting a payout is encouraged to tithe at least ten percent.

Safari installs but does not run if your Windows XP username has international characters in it. For instance, if your username is José, and your application files get stored in C:\Documents and Settings\José, the app doesn't start up. If I create a username with no accents, however, Safari runs without any issues. This is exactly the type of problem that I had with Democracy Player about a year ago. What's with this lack of support for users with accented names? Has anyone found a way to get around this bug, other than removing the accents from their name?
