And your post is the text book definition of an ad hominem attack. Peddle your logical fallacies elsewhere.

An anonymous reader writes "Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak is already camped out in front of an Apple store for the new iPhone 4S. From the article: 'Woz and his trusty Segway showed up at his local Apple store in Los Gatos Thursday and said he will stay there overnight. He added he already has two phones coming to his house, but doesn't mind hanging out for one more for his wife.'"

I've had the same issues with the Cisco VPN client. Apparently they have 64-bit support in their newest Beta, but without access to that I've been using the Shrewsoft client.

Comment Liberal Arts versus Vocational training (Score 5, Insightful) 225

I'm disappointed to see an institution with as good a reputation as GMU creating what is ostensibly a vocational training program. Programs such as this prepare students for one and only one role in a specialized industry, instead of preparing them with a more well rounded education. Mores the pity too. I guess GMU wants to compete head to head with schools that advertise on G4.

You live in New York. That, along with LA and maybe San Francisco are among the most liberal, educated places in the nation. Try meeting some people in Alabama, or Iowa. See what they think about "intellectual" subjects.

First Human Embryonic Stem Cell Study Approved 139

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Friday January 23, 2009 @02:07PM from the new-things-to-argue-about dept.

dogmatixpsych writes "The FDA recently approved a privately funded study where human embryonic stem cells will be transplanted into subjects with complete spinal cord injuries. All trials will be paid for and conducted by researchers working for Geron Corporation. The stem cells come from the existing lines Pres. Bush approved federal funding for in August 2001. With Barack Obama now president, many scientists believe federal funding will soon become available for embryonic stem cell research on new cell lines, resulting in additional similar studies."

Google Acquires In-Game Advertising Company 44

Posted by Zonk on Friday February 16, 2007 @04:30PM from the that-was-a-googame dept.

Firmafest writes "According to Red Herring Google has purchased an in-game advertising company called Adscape for $23 million. Is this the next logical step to delivering ads where there's sufficient potential buyers? Or is it simply a response to Microsoft acquiring a similar company?"
