The ovum and sperm are each a product of another’s body; unlike the conceptus, neither is an independent entity. The physical remains after an abortion indicate the end not of a potential life, but of an actual life. Something nonhuman does not become human by getting older and bigger; whatever is human must be human…

Agreed.

Viability is an arbitrary concept. Why not associate personhood with heartbeat, brain waves, or something else? In a broad sense, many born people are not viable because they are incapable of surviving without depending on others. A child’s "breathing," her intake of oxygen, begins long before birth. Someone’s…

Did you use my stapler to attach those new covers to the TPS reports? That's my stapler. I want my thtapler.

The difference (if I remember correctly from a Steve Wozniak interview... correctly) is that Apple legally compensated Xerox. They were paid for their ideas. It was a business transaction. Not so much with what microsoft did to Apple.

No way. Never noticed that. Can you remember which scene?

Was I the only one who didn't hate the remake series and was incredible bummed when they cancelled it? The green screen effects were crap tactic, but damn if I wasn't entertained.

I didn't hate the village. Not the best movie I've ever seen, but passable for entertainment. Also liked the sixth sense... but the rest of his stuff (including unbreakable in my very humble opinion) was a total shit fest of terrible.

If I saw a one clawed cat writing I would steal that cat and profit somehow from his awesome skills! Bad hand(paw)writing or not that would be pretty damn amazing.

Took a little while for me to get used to the button placement... I did that all the time sober.

As a side note you will look like a jack-ass wearing them. I know I do... I just don't really care.

Love my five fingers. I found that even the most expensive running shoes did a number on my knees. When you run with a pair of vibrams you essentially are relearning how to run. It's a different feeling... hurts different parts of the legs. If you do get a pair I high recommend taking it easy at first. Do 2km max. If…

can not tell you how much I love that Apple finally allowed the volume control rocker to be used as a shutter button. About bloody time.

That's a very simple answer for a very complicated issue. I think that's why this is such a hotly debated issue, because none of us from either side can give a definite clear answer as to when life begins. Is it at birth? Or is it when cells divide? The at birth answer in canada is particularly troubling for me. There…

No.It went like this.

When does life begin?

I think you are right. People don't want to think about it. It needs to just work. Unfortunately, I can't seem to shake the feeling that this is going to be to our detriment.

Wow...good fact based response. The comment equivalent of "because I said so".

They are. They're slowly putting up a walled garden and a gatekeeper. It will be optional at first, but I can see Os X moving towards total control of what can be installed like iOs. I'm a mac user, but I think the rules are about to change. Some benefits to that... but I think users are going to loose a lot of…

I love iWork. Tried office for a few months on my mac. Crashed out constantly. I legit, paid copy on a 6 month old macbook pro. It's an over bloated poorly coded piece of pooh right up there with iTunes.
