Engineered Rabbit Penises Raise Human Hopes | Wired Science | Wired.com
"Using tissue grown in a laboratory, researchers have engineered fully functional replacement penises. The organs were made for rabbits, but the technique may someday be useful for people. “This technology has considerable potential for patients requiring penile construction,” wrote researchers in a study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences." - Tudor Bosman from Bookmarklet
"engineered rabbit penises" is high on the list of phrases I never thought I'd use. - Tudor Bosman

@EthanZ -- I know it's hypothetical. :-)
Dave Winer
@EthanZ -- I like it cause it's peer to peer. Let's hope they do it with open formats so it's easy to hook new stuff in.
Dave Winer
@EthanZ -- they should leverage what we've done with http://rsscloud.org/walkthr... -- been preparing for this.

"So I'm in Java. I guess I start by writing an AbstractBaseRepresentationClass and go from there?"
No. Start from an AbstractBaseRepresentationClassFactory. - Private Sanjeev
Or you could do what we all did before the Java "community" went apeshit will all that stuff, and write the same kinds of classes you would if you were sitting down to write Python or whatever :) - Joel Webber
I barely use classes with Python any more, closures are much nicer. - Jim Norris

My best-of-day today has several serious and some might even say "high-quality" posts. One about healthcare reform, one about the abortion amendment and one about Rupert Murdoch's interview about removing content from Google... What happened to cats , happy birthday wishes and funny pictures :)
Shhh, don't tell Robert Scoble. - Kenton
ha ha... Yes it stuck me that this is one of the few places on the web one can have such discussions... Other group/forums tend to be topic specific (e.g. politics vs. tech etc). - Bindu Reddy
Or have a serious, substantive discussion and LOLcats in adjacent threads. :-) - John (a.k.a. dendroica)
Yup :) When are bogged down with all the serious stuff...glance over to the next post and it will make you smile :) - Bindu Reddy
Or have a substantive discussion about LOLcats. - Jim Norris

"Levitt and Dubner tell the horseshit story as a prelude to discussing climate change: “Just as equine activity once threatened to stomp out civilization, there is now a fear that human activity will do the same.” As usual, they say, the anxiety is unwarranted. First, the global-warming threat has been exaggerated; there is uncertainty about how, exactly, the earth will respond to rising CO2 levels, and uncertainty has “a nasty way of making us conjure up the very worst possibilities.” Second, solutions are bound to present themselves: “Technological fixes are often far simpler, and therefore cheaper, than the doomsayers could have imagined.”" - Jim Norris from Bookmarklet

I shall laugh at all of you from my underground bunker the day yellowstone erupts and we have no geoengineering skillz to deal with the aftermath. :) - Private Sanjeev
where are you building your bunker? - bob
"Given their emphasis on cold, hard numbers, it’s noteworthy that Levitt and Dubner ignore what are, by now, whole libraries’ worth of data on global warming. Indeed, just about everything they have to say on the topic is, factually speaking, wrong." - Simon
