    No, they use earthworm for that.

    Efficacious Medicines Developed
    Pyongyang, April 1 (KCNA) --

    The Natural Medicine Research Institute of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has of late developed medicines with natural Koryo medicinal materials.

    Alposin, a nutritive liquid better than well-known Albesin, has a virtue for unconsciousness, poor appetite, weakness before and after operations and acute and chronic wasting diseases.

    The institute has also manufactured capsules with earthworm, potent for preventing thrombus, and an injection for curing acute and chronic rheumatic arthritis and pains caused by various diseases. It is now deepening research into the pharmacological actions of hypericum to develop a sedative and into the separation of pigments from natural plants to use them for the production of medicines and foodstuffs.

    Unfortunately the artistic merit idea only counts when you're deciding whether it's legal to ban adult material as obscene. Other laws entirely judge CP.

  3. In defense of Moore's law on 1 Molecule Computes Thousands of Times Faster Than a PC · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It was indeed a mere observation of conjuncture. That said, it has been an extraordinarily useful one in the form of a challenge to humankind. Without it we would not have progressed the way we have. Intel is using Moore's law as a road map, forcing other companies *coughAMDcough* to innovate just to keep up. And that is why we have the enormous speeds available today. So we have a prediction that shaped the future. Why bother? Because our dreams shape our world.

  5. Re:Diamond age on Do Children's E-Books Ruin Reading? · · Score: 1

    No, I don't think it is more fun. I think kids are attracted to interaction, pictures in primary colors, and noises because interaction, pictures in primary colors, and noises is less effort for the reward than imagining it: more fun.
    I think that what's easiest and most fun isn't what children should have. Imagining things that aren't in front of them is a critical skill, as are reading and understanding a description without an accompanying pictures.

    For an analogy, it's easier to smoke pot for a bit of satisfaction than to clean up your house for the same reward, which is why so many pot smokers have messy houses. But cleaning up one's house for that bit of satisfaction is healthier.

    how strong is it, and by what measure? I see it flexes in that person's hand so it's certainly not rigid. tensile strength? sheer strength? There's no way to tell what may or may not be done with the substance without more information.

  9. Re:Good filters have hidden the problem on The US Continues Its Reign As King of Spam · · Score: 1

    Good filtering is probably doing a lot for the problem: The chances of any one spam finding eyes is about 1/100th what it used to be. That means a spammer has to send out a hundred times as many for a single sale or mark.

    1: That's high price OR low capacity. And the grid isn't that weak. 20% of us could start charging our cars at home right now without causing significant problems. 2: As someone said earlier, how many worthwhile places have you gotten to in one step? This is a great step along the way. 3: domestic or foreign isn't the point as much as domestic CAPACITY, which decreases dependence on, not use of, foreign oil 4: ad hominem attacks are a waste of time for everyone involved.
