If this was not a cheesy slashdot article title, then what is?

For clarity, you should also name chimeric every blood recipient and that's a bit too many. Blood is an organ after all.

More to the point, the situation with this class of blood diseases is so desperate that in certain countries (India, I am looking at you) they can cause a quite literal run on the blood bank. That's on top of the serious complications coming with years of blood transfusions with iron overloading and the accumulation of other risks which are even still being discovered. What's more: the doctors' and the medical system's mandate is not to play god with who is going to live and who is going to die with a limited available blood supply. Detaching from the need of blood transfusions, for life, is really serious stuff.

So, this therapy really is a hope for far too many people -even those without the disorder (future car accident survivor looking for a blood bottle, I am looking at you)- and "revolutionary breakthrough" might even be an understatement.

Since it lets songs such as Bohemian Rhapsody, Layla, November Rain (dual BPM'd) to pass -and perhaps even Sultans of Swing in an audacious audacity edit- it must be for the better! Oh, don't tell me it has to be the complete song under the same BPM?! And if there are no national chords involved in all this, pitch faders for turntables are still cheap and vinyl is on the increase again, what an alignment!

Supercomputing has the capability to not just make more efficient nearly everything we do, but also make our world a safer place: Better Weather models arriving on modern HPC systems will give more accurate predictions, at higher resolution. The practical meaning of this is that civil protection will improve by leaps and bounds. Several types of natural disasters will have a better real time handling framework and lives of both civilians and rescuers will have a better protection and care plan, adjusted dynamically to conditions almost as fast as the weather patterns change.

First things first, this is what happens to you when a car is designed with care, i.e. made to easily outlast software and cheap things around it.

Your Japanese car's motor is meant to last at least until any of these happens: a) the car's chassis melts away with time b) we run out of oil c) the driver dies - and the next driver too, etc etc... you get the idea.

Full disclosure: I am a big fan of Honda and Toyota cars, well on my way of buying my 4th CRV (one sold away, only due to country change).

To the point:
- Save yourself untold trouble and make yourself a favour/gift of the year: go on crutchfield and find/buy any (real) carplay/android car audio stereo unit supporting DAB+, bluetooth etc, with 2 DIN size for touchscreen navigation, so that you can pair it directly with your phone.
- If you have an iPhone, a cheap Sony $250 model *with a lightning cable connection* will do wonders and will bring value to your driving experience. You might need a car cable adapter, the simplest ones are available for a few dollars. Extra upgrade would be a parking camera.
- If you double the budget, the range of features increases: HDMI input support, more USB ports, more phones compatibility etc.

Now Enjoy: Your car driving should be a fine experience for the next few years! Forget about Y2K022 problem altogether.

Indeed. And when Newtonian physics appeared short of having the same form in all inertial frames of reference and new model came up, RelativitÃtstheorie. And who knows if thatâ(TM)s the last word about it? If history is to teach us anything, it is that as new advances happen even that one would be superseded by more refined modeling. Remodeling all the way.

And why shouldn't it be hacked, exactly? Embassies in Moscow have for long been a guinea pig for spying gadgets! And here's a good one from WWII era: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Information which passes via US news redistribution streams is obviously mangled... business as usual!

> Whoever writes a functional language that understands arrays and pointers will rule the world.

Hey, that's fairly simple in any functional language:

All you need is to write the function for a pointer machine, whereby you manipulate exactly one structure:
(InstructionPointer: Integer, RAM[2^n]) # eg. Integer 32bits & n=32 for RAM.
Then, you just wire the operation SubtractNBranchIfNegative (or equivalent) in the function.
Input/Output domain of the function is of the same type (the struct, ie. the state machine of this "computer").

Voila, there you go: functional programming with pointers ;-)

Indeed, I have seen some very questionable behavior with OTIS elevators, too. As an engineer, I think there is some juice to report here!

...and when the financial meltdown has touched many if not most, I will be again in Greece with a fishing line (iRod), trying to check if the Med sea can still feed me. 15 centuries before or later, it's all the same stuff really!

And then, what if the screenshot was taken by another man-in-the-middle and reposted?
something like this: original poster -> MitM -> fb-poster
and what if there was: original poster -> MitM -> fb-poster
and what if there was: original poster -> MitM -> MitM -> fb-poster
and what if there was: original poster -> MitM -> MitM -> MitM -> fb-poster
and what if there was: original poster -> MitM -> MitM -> MitM -> MitM -> fb-poster
and what if there was: original poster -> MitM -> MitM -> MitM -> MitM -> MitM -> fb-poster
[...]
You get the idea.
Now, I want to see the decision tree and the guilt attribution specified in a functional language!

Yes, agreed, the original poster had bad taste but the law is pervert and the one to be "put in jail".
