    Yeah I got that, I was really just expanding on what you had posted.

  4. Re:suicide? on Colleague Comes Forward To Defend Anthrax Suspect · · Score: 1

    I guess I can understand that. Best to keep it simple, what with dealing with someone who thinks that the codeine in T3 would mask the pain from an APAP overdose.

    You wouldn't use the surest and quickest method because of its damaging effects?

    Hydrocodone or propoxyphene are usually prescribed before oxycodone.

    It truly wouldn't "mask the pain." Codeine is a joke.

    Again, he wouldn't have to swallow that many, and likely didn't. The APAP in amounts found in Tylenol products is far more lethal than the codeine. Still absolutely ridiculous, seeing as how we're not talking about some crazy man who set his ass on fire, but rather a man who purportedly wanted an easy way to end it all because of harassment by law enforcement, and again, as a biologist, would know exactly what an APAP suicide would entail.

    The point here being that as a biologist he would have a clue what kind of pain he was really in for in an APAP-induced liver failure death.

  11. Re:tylenol + codeine on Colleague Comes Forward To Defend Anthrax Suspect · · Score: 2

    Not a particularly poweful opiate. Not enough to cause death in the doses found in Tylenol with codeine. The APAP is what got him.

    It took Juntunen just 30 minutes to pull the hard drives out of the copiers. Then, using a forensic software program available for free on the Internet, he ran a scan - downloading tens of thousands of documents in less than 12 hours. rtfa

    It's really not. Command line OCR is a reality, and anything with a command line interface makes for easy scripting.

    They don't have to. It's a trivial matter to set up a script with a regex to root through the hard drive looking for something formatted like a social security number, or any other info that tickles your fancy.

    You could also try not missing the point. Or the the part of the summary that says "with a success rate comparable to that of an expert. Or the point, that being that sensors are cheaper and generally more easily employable than people.

    Let's not go throwing a strawman situation around. We're talking about a strain of influenza.

    ...we need to let our immune system do what it does best, figure out problems for itself. One would think that constant vaccine's, medications, antibiotics, etc just make the immune system lazy.

    Yeah, humanity got through Bubonic Plague just fine without a vaccine. And that Polio vaccine some wise guy came up with? Useless. Also, you seem to lack an understanding how vaccines work, as they stimulate the immune system into producing specific antibodies, which is essentially the opposite of making it lazy.
