    Who cares where it comes from... It's delicious.
    Really, any meat in a pita or dÃner is not meant to have a known source. Some questions should never be asked.

    I have a feeling work horses and horses kept as companions experience a very different life than race horses during their "career."

    I don't follow horses and I found the article informative. I didn't previously understand how much pain these animals are subjected to for personal glory and profit.
    The topic does touch science and current events so it's something I expect to see here.

  9. Re:They still sell those? on Opening Fixed-Code Garage Doors With a Toy In 10 Seconds · · Score: 2

    Rolling code alone doesn't address it. The length of the code is key. A MARCSTAR document from 1997 cites the code as 40 bits, over 1 trillion possibilities. If you could transmit 10,000 tries per second, it would take over 3 years to try all the possibilities. Even if you got lucky and hit the right code in the first 1% of attempts, it would still take almost 2 weeks of trying.

    Isn't the perceived fairness of any given trial typically based on how the verdict compares to the outcome the outside observer believes is correct? If the jury decides in opposition to my own personal views, it must have been an unfair trial.

  16. My favorites on Jeb Bush Publishes Thousands of Citizens' Email Addresses · · Score: 1

    My favorites are the ones with this type of warning at the bottom:

    Guess that didn't work out so well.
    Not that those warnings have any teeth to begin with, but this doesn't help.

  18. Crunch all you want... We'll make more! on Drug Company CEO Blames Drug Industry For Increased Drug Resistance · · Score: 3, Interesting

    So is he saying that doctors should keep prescribing antibiotics for illness where they are unnecessary, and that prophylactic application of antibiotics in agriculture should continue? That is, the only thing that needs to be fixed is the manufacturing leakage?

    Of course that's the only problem. Because, in India and China, those problems aren't likely to be fixed any time soon (perhaps if ever). If over-prescription isn't the problem, doctors and agricultural users can continue purchasing unnecessarily large quantities of the drugs, guilt free. That's a convenient stance for a drug company CEO to have.

    I'm not saying that mishandled wastage at a drug plant isn't an issue. It appears that it is. The CEO said so. But I'd me more interested in seeing facts that back up his claim that overuse is not the issue causing antibacterial resistant bacteria. The overuse is probably more widespread than the factories, and probably more likely to be the cause of the superbugs in your area (unless, of course, your area is near these factories).
