Also, Slashdot, I set this account to use the "classic" interface, why are you making me click buttons to see comments now?! I just want to see the page, not have to keep clicking "show more". This comment entry box is terrible too, the "Reply" button is too close to the box itself.

Seems like I'm not the only one. First I had to figure out how to show the full text for all the page, and now I have to browse the comments in a frame 80% of my browser because I'm stuck with a sidebar (that wont scroll, btw). This seriously sucks, I want my classic UI back!!! Also, wtf is the checkbox with no text!?

Hes mad at the right person. EAs authentication scheme locked him out. Its EAs fault if someone else could "keygen" his serial. As a paying customer, he shouldn't be affected by the pirates. As usual, only paying customers are affected by DRM and copy protection. The pirates just crack the thing and forget about it.

Define "Infected Firefox installations"

Maybe you mean "PC with Firefox installed thats infected by a {virus|trojan|keylogger|spyware}" ?

Still, installing Firefox doesn't prevent you from catching something for running infected software or prevents someone from installing some crap that puts toolbars or BonziBuddy into your PC....

Submission + - Carl Sagan on Marijuana (boingboing.net) 1

Submitted by

eldavojohn writes: "BoingBoing is reporting that allegedly Carl Sagan wrote a piece for "Marihuana Reconsidered" under the pseudonym Mr. X that appears to look fondly upon the science of trippin' balls. Puff the Magic Sagan's full piece can be found here. It opens with 'It all began about ten years ago. I had reached a considerably more relaxed period in my life — a time when I had come to feel that there was more to living than science, a time of awakening of my social consciousness and amiability, a time when I was open to new experiences.' Too bad old Mr. Cosmos couldn't enjoy his latest vocals."

Scientists Deliver Bee Toxin To Tumors Via "Nanobees" 98

Posted by ScuttleMonkey from the stop-calling-everything-nano dept.
ScienceDaily is reporting that Washington University School of Medicine researchers have found a way to deliver bee toxin to tumors using nano-spheres they call "nanobees." The results in mice showed a cessation of growth or even shrinkage of tumors while the surrounding tissue was protected from the toxin. "The core of the nanobees is composed of perfluorocarbon, an inert compound used in artificial blood. The research group developed perfluorocarbon nanoparticles several years ago and have been studying their use in various medical applications, including diagnosis and treatment of atherosclerosis and cancer. About six millionths of an inch in diameter, the nanoparticles are large enough to carry thousands of active compounds, yet small enough to pass readily through the bloodstream and to attach to cell membranes."
