    A film wouldn't do it justice, an HBO/Showtime/AMC series on the other hand.

    If we're going to do in orbit assembly way don't we just use a Verne Cannon to get the raw materials up into space, anything that's too fragile to be launched that way can be sent up in a more traditional method.

  7. Re:Embryonic stem cells on Team Use Stem Cells to Restore Mobility in Paralyzed Monkey · · Score: 1

    You know what the best part is this treatment used, as stated in the article, Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells. Which are most like harvested from the monkey what received the treatment. You know Adult Stem Cell, in otherwords not Embryonic which means no babies were kill in this procedure.

    It truly pisses me off to no end that the media doesn't add the word adult in every article where adult stem cells are used. I sometimes think there's a conspiracy they don't want to inform people so the contraversy will stay alive so they can keeps up traffic, and/or they get to throw in a bit of "religious conservatives" bashing at the same time.
    But then I remember Hanlon's razor and shake my head and die a little inside.

  8. Re:Embryonic or adult? on Team Use Stem Cells to Restore Mobility in Paralyzed Monkey · · Score: 1

    The article also mentions that Induced Pluripotent stem cell were what were actually used in the procedure, so they most likely used cells from the same monkey that received the treatment, therefor adult stem cells.

    The mention of embryonic is a absolutely moronic the controversy is about embryonic not adult stem cells. Stem Cell articles really make me hate the media, every article says that stem cells are the greatest thing since germ theory and they could very well be right. If journalist want to help they could maybe just maybe try to help the pubic understand the difference. I guarantee that 99% of the controversy would disappear, and 2/3 of the remain controversy would be from instances where a minor storm would pop up because someone misreported and said that embryonic and not adult cells were used.

    Actually I didn't explain why it is the best thing ever, the control keys are really far away and will force you to break away from the home row. When you use the CAPS key you don't have that problem at all.

    The only time I need to do that is for CD keys and half the time those aren't actually case sensitive or they automatically put everything into upper case anyway.

    If you are on Windows there is a reg change you can make that will turn you CAPS into a CTRL key and it is the greatest thing I've ever done to my computer. There is one huge caveat though if you are on someone else's computer it will turn into a huge annoyance though.

  13. Re:It wasn't rape! on Wikileaks Founder Arrested In London · · Score: 1

    Question because the article didn't clarify enough to my liking. Do the Swedes actually have a charge called rape?
    Roman Polanski was never charged with rape, the extradition treaty to lists rape as a cause but the warrant said something like sexual assault. Sexual assault != rape therefore they didn't extradite.

    My knowledge of this case is consent was given because he said he'd wear a condom, she says he did not wear a condom; no condom = no consent; no consent = rape. Do the Swedes actually have a charge called rape?
