  5. Re:Australia? on Auto-Scanning the Names People Choose For Their Wireless APs · · Score: 1

    I think it's from the BBC show comedy Coupling episode 15 entitled "The End of the Line"
    http://epguides.com/Coupling/guide.shtml

    "Steve has stupidly swapped phone numbers with a girl he chatted to in a bar, and fearing that she may actually call him, takes to answering the phone in an Australian accent, as "Bruce's Bar and Grill". Meanwhile, Susan, in order to get out of an awkward situation being chatted up by an Australian in another bar, phones home using a French accent."

    I think China should explore space and generate the spinoffs from technology.

    Their people are smaller, their country has all the money, and they don't have baby boomers sucking the life out of the means to do anything through which Congress might actually forge agreement.

  11. SpitzerSwallows? on N.Y. AG Files Antitrust Lawsuit Against Intel · · Score: -1, Troll

    These cases Cuomo are bringing are transparently political and very thin.

    It's almost like Cuomo's doing this B.S. on purpose to make Spitzer look good in retrospect. Say what you want about the man's personal life, but at least Spitzer's public bullhorn cases were backed up by well-documented actions of serious wrongdoing.

    It's really starting to turn into amateur hour over at the NY A.G.'s office.

  13. Re:Early detection doesn't always improve outcomes on A Breathalyzer For Cancer · · Score: 2, Informative

    How did the parent get modded as insightful? Let's try this again. Comparing almost always fatal lung cancer (from TFA) affecting a variety of age groups to slow-moving often 'clinically irrelevant' prostate cancer (not from TFA) whose onset affects primarily the elderly is both Troll and Offtopic.
    -
    Primary lung cancers themselves most commonly metastasize to the adrenal glands, liver, brain, and bone. Secondary lung cancers can be indicative of other cancers whose prognosis is also dependent upon the earliest possible detection. Someone explain to this onc that catching these lung cancers before they metastasize is ALMOST ALWAYS worth the treatment risk. Almost all factors (excepting cell type) that affect prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer are factors that can be enhanced by early detection: presence or absence of pulmonary symptoms, tumor size, metastases to lymph nodes, and vascular invasion.
    -
    Comparing lung cancer to prostate cancer in this way is medically irrelevant and offtopic.

    Even a non-onc like me would READ THE FUCKING ARTICLE SUMMARY to understand how this device doesn't pick up prostate cancer molecules from your breath. If it did, you have serious problems for which I would NOT refer you to an oncologist, especially you.

  18. Re:Why didn't this happen sooner? on Lawyer Jailed For Contempt Is Freed After 14 Years · · Score: -1, Troll

    I can believe it because it is fair.

    Any idiot would be able to prove investment losses. Failure to do so is contempt of the court's authority. The court had the right to send this guy to jail for as long as it saw fit. The current judge was wrong to release him based on the false premise that we cannot impose "punitive" measures on criminals. We need to get rid of the outmoded-the-day-it-was-thought-up notion that punishment is to fit the crime. It needs to exceed the crime as to be a deterrent. But this a-hole judge didn't see it that way. A judge can't even incarcerate to issue legitimate punishment anymore!! We can ONLY coerce? WTF?
