omg, that bionic commando song was awesome.

So... how much would it cost me to make one of these? I MUST KNOW

More time and electrical engineering/programming knowledge than you have right now.

Or $5,000. Plus an organ.

Speaking of organs

Cell alive system


They are using a magnetic field to prevent water from forming ice, this could allow for transplant organs to be "frozen" and preserved for long periods of time.

Which reminds me... I'd totally trade away some of my hats for the next installment in the Half Life series.

Speaking of organs

I just wanted to congratulate you on the excellent transition to a different form of organ, made me smile.

Protesters lit fire to the Political Party's HQ in Eqypt, firefighters refusing to put it out, I wish the live feed didn't stutter so much, its either this or the BBC.

I watched the stream for 5 seconds and saw a protester get rammed by an armored-looking pickup truck thing and flung into the air Just Cause 2 style.

Then I stopped watching.

Judge in Florida ruled the Healthcare law as unconstitutional.

http://www.businessinsider.com/another-u...nal-2011-1

Because the individual mandate is unconstitutional and not severable, the entire Act must be declared void. This has been a difficult decision to reach, and I am aware that it will have indeterminable implications. At a time when there is virtually unanimous agreement that health care reform is needed in this country, it is hard to invalidate and strike down a statute titled "The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act."

I call on a conflict of interest. The judge's income is taxable and subject to increased taxation should said bill pass.

Constitutionality > perceived conflict of interest. This law has been both upheld and overturned by different courts. It will wind up at SCOTUS. Regardless of the outcome, the scope of federal powers in the United States will be vastly changed.

Yea, it's going to be a really big deal. I think it's going to be a really big conservative v progressive battle, and I don't mean that in terms of their political meaning but as the two pure competing philosophical ideals. Whether the government should try and deal with complex problems in an ever changing world or whether they should let everyone fend for themselves and be as hands off as possible.
