Slashdot Mirror

Where do you live? Kenya?

Besides, everyone knows spears are primarily a hunting weapon.

Found a list of sites/reports about this guy, Peter Lynds. To prevent a slashdotting, I will just print them here. It was found at http://www.phy.cuhk.edu.hk/course/phy2002/forum/me ssages/299.html (remember to remove the space in the link if you MUST go /. them) but you should use the links here to prevent swamping them.

Im posting at +2 to make sure they get seen, so modding them up isn't necessary (dont need the karma). There are some serious questions about the guy, both ways, according the googling _I_ did. Don't have an opinion yet...

it's not a bug, it's a feature. duh.

Another simple Google search shows that every other article says the plane was an Airbus A321.

Baking [bread] hardly qualifies as an esoteric exercise-- as an ex-butcher and baker, I can testify that both of these activities are doing just fine, thanks. People will be eating bread, making cheese, and tying knots for a long time.

Granted, most of these things which are now done by machine will probably be confined to niche/specialty industries, but they'll definitely survive as long as people are willing to pay a premium for a quality product.

The organization that regulates Parma prosciutto, for instance, is still getting their knickers twisted over import regulations, which bespeaks a healthy industry to me.

In An Nasiriyah, the fear created by the attack had more tragic consequences. Bodies of men, women and children, including two babies, lay in a ditch next to the wreckage of burnt-out vehicles on a bridge being held by coalition forces.

The victims, believed to be trying to escape heavy artillery fire, made the mistake of moving at night across a bridge crucial to the coalition's supply lines and were killed by US Marines.

The U.S. Marine Corps blindly firing into carloads of civilians is *not a good look*.

And the (mainstream US) media not even mentioning stuff like this is almost as bad.

great, thanks for the update.

you jest, but look closely and you'll see my reply to my own f1rst p0st got modded up interesting!

and they say moderation isn't broken...

Here's a link to another story in the same newspaper about scottish innovation. It definitly will improve airline security

I covered this story yesterday (Sunday US-time) in my daily interent commentary and also highlighted the crazy situation taking place in Europe right now.

It seems that German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder has succeeded in obtaining a injuction from a Hamburg court that forbids a UK newspaper from pubilshing details about an alleged extramarital affair.

The UK newspaper have basically thumbed their nose at the order, as did another UK paper which went a step further and published not just in print but on the Web as well.

My column on this matter can be found here if anyone's interested. Check out today's edition as well: When Microsoft Owns Your ISP

According to this article, [bbc.co.uk] they're having problems getting a 'Beagle' robot up.

Your article dates from September. A more recent one reports that Beagle 2 is about to be delivered. OK, that doesn't mean the bugs have actually been ironed out, but at least it should launch.

Some highlights:

Yesterday news also hit of bioethicist Dan Brock advocating mandatory abortion for disabled people such as blind and mentally ill.

This is not a new concept, but is one that is growing in feasability and global support.

What does this have to do with cloning and stem cell research? Well they all have the same amoral drive: creating a "better" human race through science without any moral guidelines. As we see on this board, many people ridicule those of us with moral presuppositions as "non-scientific", "ignorant", etc. Above, though, we see an extreme example of this.

Fast-forward now 10 or 20 years. Science has guaranteed a "perfect" child to anybody who can afford one. A minority of rich people get smarter, stronger, better-looking, and richer, in contrast to those who still suffer with gross things like blindness and the worst- mental inferiority. It wasn't enough to genetically engineer perfect children. The question now is "Why hold on to that last moral presupposition that we shouldn't kill scientifically inferior people?" You may think me an extremist, but it's happened before.

That is the question that should be answered today. If you truely believe in removing morals from science, be logically consistent with it: advocate a super-human race and the death of all inferior people. If you believe in moral presuppositions, though, realize what unchecked research in cloning, embryionic stem cells, and science in general will lead to. Either way, the question is: what criteria do you use to value human life? You may have about a year to decide.

There are alternatives, such as adult stem cells, which have potential as well and sidestep ethical concerns.

It's amazing that Reuters ran this story. It's even more amazing that news media across the country are running it too.

Yeah, especially since [gasp!!] O.J.'s girlfriend is *missing*!

Makes you wonder where the hell the media's priorities are.
