  1. Re:Cat & Mouse. on Hulu Munging HTML With JS To Protect Content · · Score: 3, Funny

    The XBMC guys already made a plugin [lifehacker.com] after the last hulu change. It'll take a few hours and a new one will be made.

    Those slowpokes, I've already configured my videocamera to record my computer screen, the plugin took only 30 seconds (and the only reason it took that long is because I didn't have a flashlight and it was dark under my desk.)

    Not only that, but I bet their version won't encode to high-quality VHS tape format.

    'Natural' doesn't equate to "OK".

    I reject this on principle! Natural = better! Tons of infomercials for herbal supplements have implicitly told me so! Just look at ginseng, herbal tea, cyanide, tobacco, botulin, the plague, male pattern baldness, and dying of old age at 30. All good reasons why natural equates to better!

    Really it should be the other way around: april fools is the one day of the year you get to complain about something you see on /. Which you voluntarily go to. And in which you do not have to read every dumb-sounding story.

    And now the court says: "OK, so you were right, sorry for the bother, have a good life."? So everything is fine now as justice is served?

    They're probably less damaged than they would be if we said "We're never going to have a perfect legal system that only prosecutes criminals and never is distorted by idiot prosecutors, so lets throw the justice system out entirely." Anyway, it's not over, this is just part of the process for the legal system to stop this from happening. No one is saying "everything is awesome now."

    In the United States (and, more and more the UK and Australia), children are the enemy.

    It starts from a very early age, when they poop and pee and you have to clean it up, and only gets more complicated from there.

    If a 2 year old hands you a photo of themselves posing naked on a bear skin rug, should said 2 year be arrested for distribution of child porn and forced to register as a sex offender for the rest of their life?

    2 years old? I know I wouldn't want to see that, would be pretty disturbing. And if if they're that perverted that early, better keep an eye on them. So yes, definitely.

  22. Re:Interesting and cool... however on Scientists Make Artificial Protein Mimic Blood · · Score: 1

    They fail to give any meaningful data on its oxygen dissociation curve against pH, so we have no idea how it will perform as an oxygen transporter at physiological conditions.

    Why you gotta be all chemical about it?

    In seriousness, the Dutton lab webpage, the ones who did it, has a crystal structure image that looks like it does have the histidines in place above and below the heme ring to stabilize the O2, although it's been a while since I had a biochem course. So those could actually be anything and I wouldn't know. Matter of fact, that could be the wrong lab for all I know.

    Anyway, it seems the focus of the lab is non-clinical (predictably.) They may not have mentioned any of that stuff because it was less interesting to them than "holy crap, I've actually made a completely novel protein!" It will be really really interesting to everyone else when it moves into translational / applied clinical research, but from their perspective (and mine too) this is quite remarkable in and of itself, whether or not it will itself be usefull is a close second.
