You give the impression that the causes for cancer are not known, and you mention some speculative theories that they might be connected with bacteria.
That is pure Pseudo Science: If Cancer was caused by bacteria, how come you can have millions of cell-lines taken from cancers but nearly none from healthy tissue? You can be very sure that there are no bacteria in those lines.
Besides, most mechanisms how cancer develops have already been figured out: cancer has been a great help in discovering how cellular reproduction works.
Dissidents are healthy for science, but most dissidents talk nonsense and reject scientific process.
And that is no great risk thus far. (i suspect you have been brainwashed by luddite bioactivists into believing GMO's are frankenstein-like monsters. Get over it)
Remember, it is just normal DNA they have inserted and removed, no supermonster genes have been introduced. Quite the contrary, the virus has been stripped of its defences (the E3 region) so that it can be round up by the patients own immune system. This will also prevent it from spreading/escaping into the wild.
The downside is you have to administer relatively high doses, and the therapy cannot last more then 12 days, (the time it takes the body to mount a immono defence) or you'd have to suppress the patience immune system.
They don't. The virus they used had a set of genes to thwart the immune system, but they explicitly removed it to minimise the risk of this virus escaping into the wild. That is for safety actually, not to protect their IP rights...
It is a big shame that Dr Wold fell for the lure ot the patent-sirenes. Now his therapy will not go down history as Wold-therapy, he will just be remembered as a greed scientist.
if you change the antenna on a magnetron (for instance if you drive a tuning screw into the waveguide) you can change the frequency a bit, but also increase the noise on the sides of the peak enormously. Now recognise that the cooking space in a microwave oven is an integral part of the waveguide, and you will realize this 'reseach' is very hypothetical. I wonder how they would have fared if the used complete micowave ovens instead of just olde magnetrons from them. Just putting in metal racks/etc will increase the noise. And that is a good thing in microwave ovens, als someone already pointed out: less cold spots in the oven.
most microwaves do not have a switching power supply. only the lighter ones (in weight) have switching psu, the oldes ones still have a massive 2kv transformer sitting in the bottom.
The wavelenght of a microwave is about 11 cm. Holes in the shielding smaller than about 1 quarter wavelenght cannot be penetrated by the microwaves: they are all reflected. Most microwaves actually have tamper proof door locks; if you try to jam them while the door is still open, the fuse is blown instead of radiation being emitted. If you don' t believe it: look it up yourself or dissect your microwave to see for yourself.
You might be right with your facts, but your conclusion is wrong. This research is not founded by the big pharma companies but by the National Institute of Health. I bet they have a reseachprogram into TB too, it is just not very newsworthy. I think you would not want to meet all the 'who`s' in your "who cares", you'd be shaking your hand off.
I live in Holland, where everybody and his dog has one and a half bikes and ride the complete one. People laugh at bike helmets for a good reason. we just made sure we don't need them(if your doing 50 km on a small inroad it might be a different matter, most people use bikes in and around the city). We just made sure that there are good bikelanes or bikepaths with clear crossings. on top of that the law was changed to make motirized drivers responsible for all damage if they have an accident with a bike (or pedestrian for that matter) The message is that it is the car driver is the one that causes most damage and should be the one to drive very cautious when bikes can be around. I have been in one majorish accident (drove into the side of a bus when my brakes didn't hold) and a helmet would not have saved me from the concussion anyway. The thing about fenders and brakes is really nonsense. My bike has fenders and drumbrakes and i usually don't have to ride through mud anyway. My outer-tyres that have a kevlar lining to reduce puncures cost me about 12 euros each.
And to go back to the original article: I have a 3-speed gear hub (sturmey/archer) and have no problems with that. This new gizzmo is nothing but a toy for yuppie boys that don't know what to do with their money and drive a car to work.
Every method guru agrees that bug will creep into any development effort. The thing you need to do when designing and writing your code, is that it may all be wrong from the design up. I have seen few methods that emphasize on planning your bugs ahead. XP will even declare that YAGNI! There will be some points in your design that will have grave consequences if there are bug in it, it is up to the designers/programmers to identify those points and plan the repairs ahead.
How? I dont know really, I'm supprised you even read this far.
if you really care about your product, write a test for every feature you add or change or every bug you fix. This may seem like a lot of extra work, but it will pay out when you would otherwise be asking questions at slashdot how to keep the oversight on your complex project. Now use aegis to make you adhere to a sane development process instead of just flying by the seat of your pants. Most planes have bank indicators and gyro's too these days. And because it is so fashionable, get a wiki to so you have a spot where feature requests can be ignored.
That is a thoughtless meme doing the rounds. If it was true, fat would not heat up in the microwave. And you know that is not true, fat can even ignite in the microwave.
Maybe there should be a fund to fight all these luddites and their shark-lawyers. Oh wait you need lawyers to do that and they are evil too. Maybe use the constitutional right to bear arms and fight the luddites&lawyers with those?
SDR is just a way to put hardware design into software. the bandwidth you can get with SDR is limited by the bandthwidt of the adc. As you can buy soundcards that can do 90KHz sampling (i assume you can get the output in the same quality) that means quite a few channels for the phones to use, and that is not even dedcated or designed hardware. It is quite an advantage if you can listen on all channels at the same time (which is the strong point of SDR) when you are dealing with frequency hopping devices like GSM or CDMA. If you would want to do that in analog you'd need a tuner for every channel the basestation uses. That is why it means such a reduction in hardware size.
Most SDR BTW uses an intermediate frequency that is modulated up to the desired frequency in hardware. (processor speed has not yet reached speeds of 9 18 or 19 GHz yet is it?)
Send Some peace forces over there to oust the regime of banana-Bush. After all, this drydrunk does not deny he has weapons of mass destruction and is willing to use them. After that we can put Bill Gates to a real trial, not one that he can buy.

Brute force decryption uses a 'simple' algoritm and a lot of trial and error. You could gain some speed by implementing your algoritm in hardware, but you'd still be looking at billion's of tries before you have a solution. Remember this card can do only 66MHz, while a good computer can do much more. Programming an FPGA is not something an average/. reader can do.
just take a look at the mentioned hardware suppier's site. The only new fact is this guy wrote a chess program for a fpga chip/card. fpga's will play a big role for simulating neural networks that do something usefull, playing chess is not.
Why do you need electric cars for that? It's not like they are very popular. household electricity on the other hand is so popular that most people don't realize it's there until it is not. Have the electricity companies sell big UPS-like devices to house- and/or officeblocks. Those could take up your execess power at night, dampen power surges and provide backup energy when the power goes down. If you pitch it the right way that the owner gets the most benefits, people would be prepared to buy them too. A day/night tariff so that these devices pay themselves back would be very helpfull in that respect too.
It looks to me like there are a lot of moving parts on that engine. wasn't the idea of a PDE that it has no moving parts? From what I can judge from one picture, it is a small piston engine that provides the ignition pulses for the final detonation in the pipes. From the color of those shiny pipes, I'd say that this engine has not been run yet.

yes but you can't do anything usefull with it.
The most obvious targets procude lots of GHz anyway inside the box, and ar shielded pretty good anyway.
The wavelenght of a microwave is about 11 cm. Holes in the shielding smaller than about 1 quarter wavelenght cannot be penetrated by the microwaves: they are all reflected.
Most microwaves actually have tamper proof door locks; if you try to jam them while the door is still open, the fuse is blown instead of radiation being emitted.

Sure the kids will be learning writing on their wireless laptops? Or is it reading?
Somebody suggested that a lot of schools have more money then they know what to do with. This is a case in point.
Maybe these parents should be used in a nearby nuclear power plant, their thick heads would make excellent radiaton shielding I think.
