Radiation poisoning is simply damage to the cells and DNA. Given we would need to repair every single cell in the body, I don't see how the radiation damage would be a problem, it is just an added complication. Cryogenics is simply a case of waiting for magic to catch up with reality.

I assume this new unit of time will be called the Luna-tick.

Interesting, but still a pain. I used to put stuff in my basket on the main site and then switch to smile for the checkout, if I remembered. It really felt like they didn't want me to use this service.
I feel amazon as really gone down hill, prices are significantly higher than else where now. The UK site is now listing most stuff with old imperial measurements - something that hasn't really been used that widely in 40 years. I find ebay a much better experience, I site I had previously avoided.

I think we've finally found a use for all those IPv6 addresses.

If I google "openstack" the first item is an ad that links to www.vmware.com/Enterprise. That tells me that VMware does think that they are equivalent, why else pay for the advert?

Well I'd like to thank Blizzard for the trailer, best laugh I've had in a long time. Awful, simply awful.

I cant say I'm surprised, if they have to rebuild their network expect it to take months, this really isnt a case of patching a windows server and rebooting.

I expect one of the things keeping them offline will be the credit card companies, they are probably the ones in control right now.

The scrolling is painfully slow (read unusable), I'm using firefox, on linux, on a 6 year old laptop, it used to be fine.

You're telling me there's a bunch of aliens out there with candles? Shit, break out the nukes.

As you can clearly see the majority of North Korea uses non-light polluting light, it's considerably more advanced than the light used in other nations.

They're gonna charge beta testers. There's a reason I don't buy from EA, vote with your wallet.

"How about this: the color of the light emitted by CFLs and LEDs is ugly, and sometimes even hard on the eyes (especially with LEDs)."

I call bullshit on this one, I've got both incandscent and cfl in my house (incandscent for dimmer switches). I cannot tell the difference as far as the colour of light goes. There is a slight delay in cfls delivering full power, but its really not worth complaining about it.

"If you consider my above statements to be "crap" then you shouldn't have skipped class on the day they talked about the light spectrum. The spectrum emitted unquestionably differs between lighting technologies."

Maybe you should try getting out once in a while and trying new stuff with a open mind rather than just trying to bitchslap anyone who may consider disagreeing with you?

You have to be kidding, this has been going on for a year on my server. They did nothing to fix it, just took our money. Their reputation in England is worse than toilet water at the moment. I dont care what their terms of service say, spending between 30 minutes and over two hours trying to get into instances for around a year is totally unacceptable.

I currently spend what probably amounts to several hundred pounds a year on music/films. I do not illegally download the stuff, if I start getting charged £20 a year in tax I will stop buying legal copies and start downloading (what will no doubt still be considered illegal) copies. This will be a net loss for the entertainment industries, for the retails, and ultimately the government. These industries really are doing everything they can to destroy themselves. I'm surprised there isn't a shareholder revolt, the executives certainly don't have the best interests of the company at heart.
