  1. Re:Those amazing stem cells on Stem Cells Turn Hearing Back On · · Score: 1

    Well they cannot repair problems caused by mutations as they also carry that mutations (and you cannot use stem cells from someone else due to immune reaction). That require gene therapy. They also cannot cure cancer, virus or bacteria infections, deformities, schisophrenia, amnesia or cavities.

  2. Re:Cost? on Near-universal Mexican Healthcare Coverage Results From Science-informed Changes · · Score: 3, Interesting

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_total_health_expenditure_(PPP)_per_capita Simply put it is way cheaper than US system which is impressively ineffective.

  3. Re:Supply and demand doesn't apply here on Near-universal Mexican Healthcare Coverage Results From Science-informed Changes · · Score: 2

    Why should goverment force anyone to pay for something with unlimited supply??? By this logic a goverment should force people to pay for oxygen they are breathing.

  4. Re:promising future treatment on US Court Sides With Gene Patents · · Score: 1

    Natural DNA exists in the body as one of forty-six large, contiguous DNA molecules - No need to read further. Only this statement is simply not true on several different levels. The rest just shows that those who written this statement has no clue about biology...

  5. Won't happen on US Regaining Manufacturing Might With Robots and 3D Printing · · Score: 1

    Patents and copyright will take care of that.

  6. Re:Let's tease the tiger on Cat Parasite May Increase Risk of Suicide In Humans · · Score: 1

    You are actually right. Athough these days this strategy get you more likely hit by car than eaten by tiger.

  7. Not surprising on Cat Parasite May Increase Risk of Suicide In Humans · · Score: 1

    T. gondi is known for its ability to change human behaviour like inducing depression and causing loss of attention. Its only goal is to get you eaten by its next host so suicide fits in nicely.

  8. Re:...overkill...? on Will Dolby's New Atmos 62.2 Format Redefine Surround Sound? · · Score: 2

    Actually, most audiphiles I know consider anything beyond 2.0 setup a blasphemy.

  9. Re:And on Germany Sets New Solar Power Record · · Score: 1

    Except biofuels are currently causing more carbon emissions and interantional tension due to their effect on food prices.

  10. For profit, not for profit version on Ask Slashdot: Copy Protection Advice For ~$10k Software? · · Score: 1

    I think you should simply release free version for non profit use (no strings attached, no support) and paid one for for profit use (with support). Take bug reports and suggestions from both, but prioritize those from paying customers. Sue those who use free version for making profit.

  11. Re:Then we must live forever on Trials and Errors: Why Science Is Failing Us · · Score: 1

    You wouldn't be able to tell the difference

  12. Re:This isn't news... on Don't Worry About Global Warming, Say 16 Scientists in the WSJ · · Score: 2

    CO2 is odorless the same way as onion don't make you cry.

  13. Re:Misleading to call it "non-copied" on Non-Copied Photo Is Ruled Copyright Infringement · · Score: 2

    Those squids in Babylon5 are inspired by "Elder Thing" from Lowercraft, according to Straczynski.

  14. Re:How "An Inconvenient Truth" can it get on Huge Freshwater Bulge In Arctic Ocean · · Score: 1

    It is not only CO2 trapped in/under ice. There are also a huge amounts of methane trapped by ice and permafrost being released. And methane is much more potent greenhouse gas than CO2.

  15. Re:I will get moded into oblivion.... on Wikileaks Reveals BitTorrent Lawsuit Background · · Score: 1

    MPAA is taking ISP to the court not me.

  16. To promote... on Apple Sues Samsung Over Galaxy Phones and Tablets · · Score: 1

    ...the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.
    So is this promoting Progress of "Science" or "useful Arts"?

  17. Actually there are techniques which allows to get relatively high resolution image from low resolution video. Google for "super resolution".

  18. Re:Worst summary ever on DoJ Recommends NY Court Reject Google Book Deal · · Score: 1

    Because you sold that book to me. It is mine now. How dare you to command me what I can do with book I bought? Wouldn't you like to tell me what i am allowed to do with my car? or camera? or refrigerator?
