  1. Re:Why Bother on Mininova Starts Filtering Torrents · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, you're wrong. The attitude of the person has to be kept separate from the crime commited. The crime must be treated unbiased. You've never seen a court trial, have you? Your attitude and actions make a big difference. When most people are convicted of a crime, there is a range of sentencing, and your attitude and behavior make a difference whether you get the minimum or something more. It also makes a big difference in how aggressively prosecutors go after you and how many different charges they level at you.

  3. bastion of criminality on E-gold Owners Plead Guilty To Money Laundering · · Score: 1

    e-gold was a bastion of criminality. Numerous people were convicted of selling drugs, child porn, and other black market commodities through the service. The founders were in on it, too, with their money laundering. The whole enterprise was destined for failure. The only question is, what happens now to all the assets?

  4. Something similar already done on Scientists Create Synthesized DNA Bases · · Score: 1

    Something similar has already been done as early as 2001. A team of researchers in Japan was able to demonstrate that artificial amino acids (instead of nucleotides) could be incorporated into the yeast translational machinery using five-base codons (instead of three). http://nar.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/reprint/29/17/3646

    Chronic pain can be as debilitating to the psyche as it is to your physical abilities.
