  1. Re:Real Cables on Cables Show US Seeks Assange · · Score: 5, Insightful

    No indictment, no charges. No prosecution. Simple inquiry.

    Yet Swedish authorities refuse multiple invitations to interview Assange for inquiry purposes in UK - including the past month, in the Ecuadorian embassy.

    Instead, they push for extradition on contravention of International treaty law.

    This is a chess game, being played on behalf of the Nation that incarcerates more of its own people than did Josef Stalin. The "Land of the Free".

    Debian lasted at least 4 years longer than Ian and Deb.

    It's still the good stuff. My god. A distro you could boot from a 3.5 installer, and have ftp'd the world onto a DEC Alpha Multia VX42. :-) That was in '95, so I was hauling over ISDN. It beat getting Slackware as 1.44 MB disk images off of bitnet/DELPHI at 14Kbps.

  13. Re:Who would have thought... on Widely Used Antibacterial Chemical May Impair Muscle Function · · Score: 1

    The problem being, there's a false dichotomy in the artificial distinction between us and the expansive microbial biosystem, to which we are host. In many ways, we are our biome.

    But all of this is only indirect to the original article - which doesn't examine the effectiveness at killing microbes. The thrust of this story is the decrease of muscle function that is observable with triclosan exposure.

    Hey! The heart is a muscle! What could go wrong?

  14. Re:Can't stand your neighbor's dog yepping ? on Widely Used Antibacterial Chemical May Impair Muscle Function · · Score: 3, Informative

    Effective against us. It likely kills people indirectly.

    There is a huge, symbiotic, non-human, microbial biomass that make our lives possible.

    These microbes outnumber us, in our OWN bodies. They are how we digest our food, repel destructive invaders, regulate enzyme levels - and are likely involved in our psychological disposition.

    The fact is, we know almost nothing about this - just the tip of an iceberg. Science and Medicine are just getting past the primitive, binary thinking that sterile systems are healthiest. Killing ALL the bacteria in your mouth? Health complications emerge when you lose the phages that destroy actually harmful bacteria.

    Poisoning this has a potential for huge, uncalculated consequences. And merely brushing your teeth with this stuff trickles a little dose of triclosan into your tract, two or three times a day.

    I think that it would be interesting to study the correlation between triclosan exposure and the obesity epidemic.
