That news article seems highly sensationalist, that said it really doesn't matter how long you live eventually you'll be dead just like everyone else. And by the time you got that old you'd look like a living corpse.
Hello people, my name's The Baron.
I'm a member of another web forum called "Anthroscape" and also happen to host a forum of my own. And of course I'm also somewhat of a fan of coldplay
Kind of a old thread but whenever I had software installation problems with OSX tiger I would go into Applications> Utillities > Disk Utility and repair the disk permissions, that usually fixed things for me. Kinda of ridiculous somebody would actually recommend a complete reformating of the hard drive for a problem like this.
