  3. Re:Farmers feed cattle with 12000 tons of antibiot on Drug-Resistant Superbugs Sweeping Across Europe · · Score: 1

    A) It isn't indiscriminate

    Yes it is. Antibiotics are fed to healthy livestock as a preventative measure.

    B) it's far less then an actual dose

    Which is far worse. The proper way to use antibiotics is to use a large dose to kill all bacteria before any have a chance to adapt.

    C) there is no evidence it has cause any mutation

    CBC Marketplace did a study of antibiotic resistant bacteria in chicken. Two thirds of 100 samples were contaminated by bacteria, all of which were resistant to at least one antibiotic. Most were resistant to at least five.

    D) misuse of antibiotic is the primary cause for mutation.

    And this is a gross misuse of antibiotics.

    Oh, right, European colonial powers.

    The Taliban and Al-Qaeda fucked them over, supported by Pakistan: best buddies of the USA.

  7. wat on Teenager Builds $300 Open Source Eye-Tracking System · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Mix equal quantities of cheap and nasty webcam, super-close-up lens and cheap sunglasses with the lenses popped out. Add "track the black circle" to taste. Serves 1. $10-$20.

    If only we could end world hunger by grinding up corporations.

    The app also recognizes your wrist as opposed to where you are writing...

    Awesome. I wondered if there was something like this. Do you know how it works? Is it hardware, or does it just go by relative size/shape?

    Those roll up rubber keyboards are silent, but I don't know how good they are to type on.

  11. DIY on Intel's 4004 Microprocessor Turns 40 · · Score: 1

    The 4004 is too expensive, but I was thinking about getting an 8008 and a bunch of ttl to make a little computer... maybe next April.

    From the above post, about a quarter of a square mile.

  13. Re:Build your own tablet? on Via Launches a New Mini-ITX System · · Score: 1

    I've been thinking about this for a while now. A great tablet for scribbling would be a 13ish inch 1280x800 LCD with a 100Mhz arm and 64MB of ram glued to the bottom of it. It would have to have a proprietary connector to a breakout module though, USB is too thick :p

    Is there a type of touchscreen that can tell the difference between your hand and a pen? You could poke and prod, but be able to rest your hand on it while using a stylus.

    The only thing it will change is that cartels will be selling drugs legally instead of illegally...

    ...for six orders of magnitude less than they used to.

    If you can't see the difference between drug use, gambling, prostitution and illegal immigration and murder, rape, tax evasion, and speeding, well, I think only drug use can explain that.

    What costs more: marijuana grown by hand in 120 square feet of basement or marijuana grown industrially in 120 acres of field?

    They do all that other stuff to, but drugs are still the vast majority of their income. It won't kill them, but it will sure hurt.
