  1. Re:How is this news? on Swedish Scientist Suggests That There Is Only One Earth (blastingnews.com) · · Score: 1

    At this time, there is no way to prove or disprove whether the model has any merit. I'm in the Casablanca camp. In all of the worlds in all of the galaxies in all the universe, I was born on this one. Without a shred of evidence I believe there are other worlds capable of sustaining life as I know it.

  2. No FCC on this on Internet By Light Promises To Leave Wi-Fi Eating Dust (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    I didn't see any mention that, at least in the USA, using the visible light spectrum for any kind of communications is totally unregulated. No FCC certification or any other government twaddle to wade through.

    With regard to your observation, please keep in mind that some of them got that way because of the disease we are discussing. Also please check Voltaire's contribution. Something to the effect that the best way to get an appreciation of the infinite is to contemplate the extent of human stupidity.

  7. Re:The Future on USC Vs. UC San Diego In Fight Over Alzheimer's Research · · Score: 1

    Not sure about so far in the future, but if there is any positive result from the research soon, it will benefit my wife. Is there any likelihood the work will progress better at one institute than the other?

    I thought it was because I was watching Fox News...
