Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

in it is a motorola surfboard sb5120 modem
a linksys wireless-g game adapter wga54g
a microsoft broadband networking wireless base station mn-700
and some coax cable
I will try replacing the cable, do you guys think that modem or either of those routers is better than what I'm using right now
Why don't you diagnose what's actually wrong first.

Till dinner.
Then I eats it.
I eats it all.
What's that? Electric cars are being sold directly to consumers? Let's pass a law to stop that.
But the percentages are likely from researched and informed sources so I have a tendency to side with them.
then I will have to wait for it to crap out on me again!
it could be hours or days!
until you eat it
Period at the end.
For a specific gene penetrance it's probably pretty good, I'd think. It's not a "your mom has this risk so she probably has this thing and" kinda thing, it's a "BRCA1 mutants have an 87% risk" thing.
I mean it's probably a little fuzzy, yeah, but this seems focused on a couple of very specific things rather than the general percentages you usually get.

the percentages have passed through the rather shitty filter of journalism first, though.
so it should still be perfect come friday?
Science journalism! My favorite!
Some people unfortunately have the genes or environmental factors that shortens that age tremendously.
Planned economy is superior! As long as it's our plan!
Yeah. The whole thing is weird. If I'm at an insanely high risk for X, I'm going to do my good god damnedest to catch X at the earliest opportunity.
I am not going to start surgically removing stuff though.

Punishment will be cruel, but not cripplingly so. And it will come when you least expect it.
A whole lot of other shit happened for me to want karma to get back at him. It wasn't just over some video game.
Mhmm.
Or just bad luck. It's a probability after all.
No. They haven't.

I assume there is a really solid statistical basis for the number. As with all medical statistics, it's not forecasting Jolie specifically, but saying that 87 out of 100 women similar to her in the general population DID develop cancer.
Oh ok. Then you should for sure replace random components all the while wondering if you fixed it or not. Keep the mystery alive.
im getting tired of this new thing of selling games still in alpha
i blame minecraft for this
i want to remain blissfully ignorant of a games existence until it's finished and ready to play
He lives on as cheezburger grease in our hearts.
I'm not siding with pantsb here I think his view here is silly
but just like, "87% risk to get cancer" is a sentence that I think got some bits lopped off along the way.
her mom died of breast cancer pretty young. i'd imagine it heightened her concerns about it.
i'm not the world's biggest fan of angelina jolie, but the way people have reacted to this is kind of gruesome.
his refusal to get the facial tattoos done knocked him out of the top spot

Buy Issue One! >< Two! >< Three!
NEW! >< Four!
right, because you don't actually know and half-wit reflexive cynicism is the order of the day
the number wasn't from a journalist. it was from jolie's op-ed. you know, the person who's been researching her risk factors for the last couple of years and based her decision on it?
i'm going to go ahead and say she knows more about it than you do, yo

What if you could effectively replace that body part with a near indistinguishable replacement?
What if treatment of X, which you have an insanely high risk for, is horrible even if you do catch it at the earliest opportunity?
No, I think those numbers are pretty solid when you are talking about those specific gene mutations and risks of certain cancers.
Like, there are error bars, and I'm sure there are factors that can raise or lower that risk. But as a whole, women who have her specific mutation have an 87 +/- a few % chance of contracting breast cancer in their lifetimes.
How did you make it? If it's got raw garlic in it, not very long. If it's just mayo made with garlic infused oil, it'll last longer.
Let me put it another way:
Even while stipulating that everyone is entitled to an opinion (even as I'm not entirely sure why), I don't think this one single and discrete fact makes one person's agreement any more valid than another person's disagreement. What I approve of is the fact that Jolie sought out information and then made a decision based upon a fact pattern and not a gut check, and I don't especially see the value in disputing another fact pattern-based decision with my gut check any more than I see value in supporting someone else's fact pattern-based decision making with a gut check informed by a single discrete fact.
Jolie made a personal decision the way I hope most everyone would make an important decision. Let's get her name back into the lottery for jury duty.
It was the first time I'd ever really had someone die who I knew personally that wasn't an old family member.
Cancer sucks donkeys. I wish the best for anyone who even has a slight possibility of going through that hell.
