Gambling On Bacteria
An anonymous reader writes "When it comes to gambling, many people rely on game theory, a branch of applied mathematics that attempts to measure the choices of others to inform their own decisions. It's used in economics, politics, medicine — and, of course, Las Vegas. But recent findings from a Tel Aviv University researcher suggest that we may put ourselves on the winning side if we look to bacteria instead. According to Prof. Eshel Ben-Jacob of Tel Aviv University's School of Physics and Astronomy, current game theory can't account for bacteria's natural decision-making abilities — it's just too simplistic. Understanding bacteria's reactions to stressful and hazardous conditions may improve decision-making processes in any human arena from everyday life to political elections."
Is that why there are so many niggers and they multiply so quickly?
Yeah but it all boils down to the simplest having the best chance of survival.
Great so this means mac users will survive
I don't talk to ukranian antisemites - go play with someone else.
OK, then, you want to dance? Let's dance :)
- Majority of the settlements are built on land bought and paid for from it's owners. Please show me a verifiable case of land being "stolen", and also point out who, specifically, it was stolen from. I would like to remind you, that since there has never been any "Palestinian state", ownership of all the land on the occupied territories can be traced to a private individual.
- Gaza houses a belligerent population, implicated in many murderous attacks on Israeli citizens. I would like to point out, that prior to the late 90's (after the start of the so called peace process), Arabs living on occupied territories enjoyed practically unrestricted movement,
- Please provide me with a verifiable timeline that shows the barriers and blockades currently imposed on the Arabs in occupied territories as an OFFENSIVE MEASURE, as opposed to DEFENSIVE. Specifically, I would like to see evidence showing increase in attacks on Israeli civilians AFTER the measure was put into place.
- You mentioned white phosphorus. Please point me to a reliable source that specifies the exact type of the munition in question. Yes, I would like to hear the EXACT TYPE, preferable with some pictures showing the shell casing fragments.
As for the US interrogation techniques - it's not my concern. I would just like to say this: use of torture is, under certain conditions (read: high stakes), almost universal in any country. The US's problem is that they get caught all too easily where other, more politically repressed countries (read: most of the Europe) are typically not. A big problem for the US - one that must be fixed ASAP.
I think you meant to say Mexicans. I wouldn't mind Mexicans breeding like rabbits if only they could be engineered to only give birth to women. Mexican men are both humorous and annoying. They're so short, even as short as 5 foot zero inches, but they act so hard. LOL, they're just a fucking joke.
It would be really nice if we could engineer mexicans to never give birth to males, and for the young females to never go through puberty. Little mexican girls are the sexiest.
