By Saving 286,000 American
Lives Every Year, This Medical Miracle Could Revolutionize The $21 Billion Organ Transplant Market - Exploding It
To $60 Billion!

Buying ALZM today under $2 means you could watch a $5,000 investment blossom into $300,000 – $10,000 explode into $600,000all before July 1st, 2011!

When it comes to organ transplants, the difference between life and death is seconds, not minutes. ALZM puts that precious time back in doctor's hands by extending the organ viability window by 700%!
This breakthrough could literally save millions of lives...
but it could also make us incredibly wealthy in the process!

Hello Fellow Player,

       Not since penicillin has a medical discovery saved so many lives in such a short period of time…

       ALZM is shocking the medical community with its JUST RELEASED revolutionary, life-saving breakthrough.

       You see, in over 40 years, there hasn't been any significant advance in organ transportation… until now.

       Leading medical experts now agree, this unique, patented, PROVEN game-changing technology could save anywhere between 287,000 to 350,000 lives each year…

       And that's in the United States alone.

When It Comes To Organ Transplants, The Difference
Between Life And Death IsSeconds, Not Minutes.
ALZM Puts That PreciousTime Back In Doctor's Hands

       Allezoe Medical (ALZM) has discovered a way to not only safely transport organs to the patients in dire need of them, but they've figured out a way to keep the viability window open another 17-21 hours longer than current methods!

       Words cannot express how big this breakthrough is.

       To get a true understanding of the magnitude of this discovery you have to know a few facts…

       First of which, is the fact that of all the people on a transplant waitlist, only 35% of them live long enough to receive their second chance at life, mostly due to the state and health that the organ arrives at.

       This is a staggering statistic.

       Which is why experts are predicting such big things for ALZM…

       Because not only can they improve the state of health of many of these organs during transport, but by offering an wider viability window, expanding that 35% success rate up to 80%!

       What this means is that the lives of potentially Millions of people can be saved with ALZM's technology.

That's Why It's So Urgent You Read My Hot-Off-The-Press Report NOW. In It, You'll See Why You Could Make
3,000% In The Coming Weeks.
Every $5,000 Invested
Today, Could Be WorthA Staggering $300,000 By July 1st!

       The importance of this innovation is apparent and obvious…

       But it can also be just as lucrative to investors who are there from the very beginning as it is to those in need of the service that ALZM provides.

       In fact, 2,000% - 3,000% gains may be on the low end of the spectrum when all is said and done…

       Especially if a high-priced and aggressive bidding war breaks out among many of medicines biggest names like Johnson and Johnson , GE Healthcare and Siemans... once they catch wind of the profit potential that ALZM is offering.

       I've just finished an in-depth, detailed report that will give you all the facts on why this company could be the best and biggest move of your financial career. Get the whole story HERE.

To Your Future Wealth,

[0]supersloshy writes this followup to our [1]Thursday discussion of
friction between Canonical and GNOME: "I've seen a lot of GNOME bashing
for various reasons here on Slashdot as well as several other websites.
The problem with all of this is that you never hear GNOME's side of the
situation, making a lot of disrespectful comments about GNOME (or the
others involved) rather baseless and illogical. Dave Neary [2]has an
extremely thorough blog post which details problems on all sides that
make the issue much more complicated than 'GNOME is being idiotic by not
accepting our technology.' The points covered in the blog post include,
among others, how Freedesktop.org is broken as a standards body, that
Mark Shuttleworth doesn't understand how GNOME works, that GNOME is not
easy to understand, and that open discussions from the very beginning are
important for specification development and adoption. Another blog post
by 'Sankar' also [3]covers similar points while defending GNOME."

[0]snydeq writes "Savio Rodrigues sheds light on the [1]limitations open
source software faces in app stores, a problem that will only increase as
the app store model proliferates. 'In effect, in the context of a GPLv2
license, an Apple App Store item that abides by Apple's terms of service
is deemed to be restricting usage and imposing further limitation on
usage rights than were envisioned by the original licensor of the open
source code,' Rodrigues writes. 'Far from being an abstract example, this
situation is precisely why the popular VLC media player was removed from
the App Store.' Microsoft, for its part, [2]disallows the use of GPLv2
altogether. 'With the vast amount of GPLv2 code available for use, the
incompatibility between the App Store's (and Windows Marketplace's) terms
of service on one hand and GPLv2 on the other is a problem in need of a
fix.'"

The Hague overturned the prejudgment seizure order and told LG to return
all PS3s to Sony. Sony uses the Netherlands as its main entry point for
all European PlayStation sales, and can now return to normal. While the
temporary ban has been lifted, LG can still assert its Blu-ray patents
against Sony in a regular proceeding, which will go to trial on November
18. LG asks for patent royalties of $2.50 per Blu-ray device and believes
Sony already owes it $150-180 million."

[0]SonicSpike writes "In a case against a New York website owner, the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is claiming that [1]merely linking
to copyrighted material is a crime. DHS, along with Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE), seized Brian McCarthy's domain,
channelsurfing.net, in late January. The site has now been replaced with
a government warning: 'This domain has been seized by ICE ��� Homeland
Security Investigations, Special Agent in Charge, New York Office.' The
advocacy group Demand Progress has claimed that McCarthy never reproduced
copyrighted material, and that his website simply linked to other sites.
A criminal complaint obtained by the group seems to acknowledge that
agents knew that McCarthy was running a 'linking website.' While the
criminal complaint alleges that McCarthy did engage in the 'reproduction
and distribution' of copyrighted material, it is never clear that he
actually reproduced any of the specified broadcasts." McCarthy was
[2]arrested last week. Relatedly, TorrentFreak has posted a list of
reasons [3]why these domain name seizures are unconstitutional.

| https://hardware.slashdot.org/story/11/03/13/126249/Japan-Battles-Partial-Nuclear-Meltdown?from=newsletter
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[0]Hugh Pickens writes "Japanese nuclear experts are [1]working to
contain a partial meltdown at an earthquake-stricken nuclear power plant
north of Tokyo, as fears grow that the death toll from Friday's massive
quake and tsunami could reach the tens of thousands. A partial meltdown,
experts said, would likely mean that some portion of the reactors'
uranium fuel rods had cracked or warped from overheating, releasing
radioactive particles into the reactors' containment vessels. Some of
those particles would have escaped into the air outside when engineers
vented steam from the vessels to relieve pressure building up inside.
Adding to problems at the site, hydrogen was building up inside the
Number Three reactor's outer building, threatening an explosion like the
one that blew apart the Number One reactor building's roof and outer
walls on Saturday. However, it remains unclear how far radiation has
spread from the facility. Some local residents and health workers were
diagnosed with radiation poisoning in precautionary tests, but they show
no outward symptoms of distress. 'Even if you have a radiation release,
although that's not a good thing, it's not automatically a harmful thing.
It depends on what the level turns out to be,' says Steve Kerekes, a
spokesman for the Nuclear Energy Institute, a US industry group, adding
that a person exposed to the highest radiation levels measured at the
Fukushima site would absorb in two to three hours the same amount of
radiation that he would normally absorb in 12 months ��� a significant but
not necessarily injurious amount, especially if exposure time was short."

specializes in Apple product repair. IFixit warns that those who dare to
peer into the insides of the iPad 2 on their own risk cracking the glass
front panel, which is thinner than that from the original iPad (0.62 mm
vs. 0.85 mm) and glued on rather than attached via tabs. A heat gun was
needed by iFixit to disassemble the device."

Now the Economic Times reports that statisticians at Google looking for
characteristics that define good managers have gathered more than 10,000
observations about managers ��� across more than 100 variables, from
various performance reviews, feedback surveys and other reports and found
that [1]technical expertise ranks dead last among Google's eight most
important characteristics of good managers. What Google employees value
most are even-keeled bosses who made time for one-on-one meetings, who
helped people puzzle through problems by asking questions, not dictating
answers, and who took an interest in employees' lives and careers."

diamond ring recently helped police solve a jewelry theft. After rings
and other items valued at more than $16,000 were taken from a home on
Saturday, a friend of the victim's roommate saw one of the items on the
social network. 20-year-old Crystal Yamnitzky captioned the photo with
the following message: 'Look what Robby gave me I love him so much,' in
reference to her 21-year-old boyfriend Robert Driscoll. Yamnitzky's
cousin saw the post and told some friends, who alerted police. Both
Yamnitzky and Driscoll have been charged in the case."

siddesu writes "Japanese officials are announcing a [0]schedule for
electricity blackouts to last from tomorrow until the end of April.
Practically all suburbs of Tokyo will be affected by the blackouts. The
23 districts of central Tokyo seem to be exempt for the moment, but if
supply is not sufficient, blackouts are possible. Electricity will be
interrupted for about 3 hours a day in each area."
