Rejecting reports, because of a dashboard is like saying, "We don't need trade journals, because we have Twitter"!

If we can't contain the disease (** and keep doctors from contracting it **) in Liberia, who's bright idea is it to try to contain it in Atlanta?

I propose sending containment & treatment equipment (trial vaccines, etc.), and medical personnel to Liberia. Staying put is probably easier on the patient that a transatlantic flight.

Transporting a person with such a deadly disease doesn't seem like the best plan...

If you're saying that the only way to make this better is to have a Jack Ryan become President, well, ... I'm game... ;-)

So, the Google Cardboard VR Goggles weren't so ridiculous after all (http://googlecardboardkit.com).

There doesn't seem to be a lot of $ in this, so did Mr. Bill's patent just make it harder for consumers to acquire 'glasshole' protection solutions?

The Presidential limo is "too big to fail" and would need continual infusions [of power] just to keep going...

Here's some more info from a prior /. posting on CellRad

We should really explore using non-food sources (e.g., algae) as biofuel bases. We need food to stay inexpensive and gas not to increase in price, because we're using more expensive food sources. Here's a good Q&A about algae as a source of bio fuel (http://algae.ucsd.edu/potential/algae-qanda.html).

The INL project started in ~2005, but it was only recently announced.

In the US, the government sued (and continues penalizing) the tobacco industry, because their product causes "wrongful death", "injury", and causes the individual to require significant medical expenses. This product causes all of those things, so the lawsuits were justified. However, one would have thought that at least some of the $16B recovered by 2006 would have been given to the smokers who were suffering.

Instead, the government kept all of that money justifying that they would/might someday provide Medicare for those people -- despite the fact that most did not receive Medicare benefits! The State governments even announced that they were using the funds to build roads and for other projects!

This is one more demonstration that these types of groups seek to champion causes in order to perpetuate themselves, by keeping up the fight (fear), rather than relaying recovered damages back to those who were harmed. It's disgraceful.

So, a well-planned criminal just needs to hang out at the local shooting range and collect someone else's brass casings before they commit a crime. After they commit their crime, they collect their own shells, and toss out the other person's shells. When police show up, there is a positive ID on the discarded casings, because of the #. This was a good idea, but it is so very easily spoofed because it's non-deterministic and can put innocent people at risk. I'd pass...

My sunlight comes from out of state, too. Should we that with usage regulations and fees?

Should we abbreviate Facebook Incorporated as FB or is it now better to just call them FBI?

Excellent point. No patent or copyright treaty means that there is no violation outside of a specified jurisdiction. We see that between countries today.

The interesting thing about copyright & free software advocates is the way they define 'free'. If free means that I can give my work to others without anyone placing encumbrances, then that's a good definition to advocate. More often than not, I hear the sentiment that since software must be free, anyone can take someone else's work whether they like it or not.

'Free to give' seems to evoke sharing, while 'free to take' creates feelings of protectionism...
