    You can install KernelEx http://x86.neostrada.pl/KernelEx http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?act=ST&f=91&t=130936 and install some (not all) 2K/XP applications under 95/98. You certainly can install and run FireFox 3.

    I have some educational games that only work under 98 so I have an old notebook that runs that. It would be nice to have the latest version of FF running but it's good enough that cygwin runs and I use ssh as a thether to the network.

    'so typical' of what? These are all statistical correlations, they haven't described any biochemical reaction path from VitD to cancer, so they are just making a partially educated guess. They are totally wrong about the VitD causation for auto-immune disease.


    Vitamin D,25 is not the active form. Other metabolites, such as vitamin D,1,25 are the active forms. High vitamin D,1,25 can cause by itself a lot of the symptoms of auto-immune disease. Since D,1,25 is converted from D,25, the low D,25 is a result of rapid conversion to D,1,25. Adding more D,25 just adds fuel to the inflammatory fire.

    It is not due to vitamin D deficiency but is caused by not having enough calcium in the diet.


    Much of previous beliefs about Vitamin D are being changed, see this

    It is not due to vitamin D deficiency but is caused by not having enough calcium in the diet.


    this paper describes the disregulation of the vitamin d metabolism in the disease process. Macrophages can drive the vitamin D,25 levels low by generating damaging high levels of vitamin D,1,25. So, the current knowledge that low vitamin D causes disease is backwards, low vitamin D can be a indication of a disease process that is driving the D,25 levels low, while driving D,1,25 high.


    One interesting point for Slashdot readers, is that a lot
    of the lastest Vitamin D research is being driven by computer
    modeling of the Vitamin D molecule and the various nuclear receptors it affects. see http://winmlm.neostrada.pl/vitamindbook/vitamindne wresearch.pdf


    I would like to be clear that I'm not disagreeing with the result that higher VitaminD is correlated with Cancer. I'm just pointing out that it is likely not as simple as somebody eating too many eggs,
    and just needing to cut back.


    However, I do disagree with the side comment made that high Vitamin D might cause autoimmune disease. The research (and my personal experience) is that Vitamin D disregulation is caused by the autoimmune disease and clears up when the disease clears up.

  3. Re:Nice, fortunally europe != country by tilk · · Score: 1 · on EU Poised to Attack P2P File-Sharers

    Well, after some googling I found KPP ("Communist Party of Poland"), but I never heard about them before - they never were in the parliament, their election campaign must have been quiet, if they had any. Even Samoobrona ("Self-defense"), a "farmer's party", is in parliament now, and their leader, Andrzej Lepper, is widely known (mainly for his stupidity). But communists? In post-communist Poland communists never were a strong force.
