That's a bit harsh. I only meant that seeing other people helps you think about something else for a while. If you are really depressed, it will not cure you.
Good point. There is only one way to escape the feeling of sadness, and that is finding other people to spend time with. Even if it doesn't help solve your depression, you are forced to think about other things than your own problems, and that may be a welcome change. So shut down your computer (I know that will be hard for you to do), go downtown or to friends or whatever, and try to have some fun!
I sometimes click on a sponsored link in Google's pages, but if Adblock blocks them all in the future because they are grapical, or, heaven forbid, flash advertisements, then that will be a thing of the past. I'm not sure that is the result they are aiming for...
That's nothing. At KFC they cover your remains with some greasy foul-tasting gruel before deep frying them. Now THAT's inhumane! Or should I say, inanimalane?
That's pathetic. People can't help having difficulty understanding things. And being a moron doesn't necessarily have anything to do with being stupid. I know a few very intelligent people who are complete and utter bastards. Those are the ones to look out for.
You, person, are frustrated, but it's not fair to vent your frustration on all the people who appear less intelligent than you think you are.
I'm glad that McDonalds is back doing what they do best: selling not-so-healthy fast food. It's great that they have these salads now but hey: didn't we all come there for their great burgers?
Silicon is basically biologically null. Humans don't use it for much, barely need to eat it, can't digest or break down its oxide which is the form that causes silicosis.
Porous silicon is digested by the body. Research is being done on its ability to slowly release drugs.
I think nanotubes would be quickly swept up and junked by the body. In fact, I suspect the difficulty in medical use of nanotubes would be more how to keep them undamaged, than how to keep them from persisting.
I wouldn't be so sure. Conjugated pi-systems are usually fairly hard to break down, and a carbon nanotube is one huge, very stable, conjugated pi-system.
This strikes me as the usual eco-weenies looking, searching desperately, for anything that might retard the techical progress which they regard as unnatural.
Amen to that. I couldn't have said it better myself.
I just came back from a nanotechnology conference. I didn't see much that hasn't been done before under another name. The only really interesting thing was Pulsed Laser Deposition, with which you can build materials monolayer by monolayer very accurately. This really is nanostructuring and can thus be called nanotechnology.
This is such a load of bonkers. 'Nanotechnology' is just a new word for chemistry, something that people have done for hundreds of years (OK, I'm oversimplyfying things a bit but that IS what it comes down to). It's absolutely unnecessary to come up with new guidelines for doing 'nanotechnology'. The classical rules for working with chemicals are enough. Besides, you normally can make an educated guess as to what the dangers of the particular compound you are working with or making are, because you normally know quite a lot about its chemical composition.

I never understood the point of blogging. I thought the whole idea behind a diary was that other people don't read it!
I live in Holland, and I get the same speeds for approx. the same price. AND I can call every 'normal' phone in Holland for free!

Digg comment: Huh huh. Cool, dude. /. comment: This is a really interesting device. Pity it doesn't run Linux.
Right. It's not exactly Jurassic Park, nut good enough for me. When does the mammoth theme park open?
Spot on, hehe :-) But I feel your pain... :-(

Isn't it fantastic what you can do with a few pixels and some imagination?
No, it's an anonymoes coward replying to herself.
Minority report.
I find this so cool! We will see the moving paintings from Harry Potter become reality even faster than we expected.

That was a cool game.
O no, not that bad! I went to KFC in 1998 or so and I still haven't recovered. They do things to chickens you don't want your worst enemy to suffer.

I was going for funny, but your reply is a lot funnier than my comment :-)
90 percent of boys and 40 percent of girls play.
Is he sure he doesn't mean something else?
I get more and more flasbacks from the late '90's these days. Let's hope this time people keep their heads together.

Wow, I would like to see that ocean fill! I think the water disaster in the Netherlands in 1953 will be nothing compared to that!
Yes. And all those people are too poor to be able to afford an internet connection.
