    P.S.: where's your cite for brain cells thriving in high blood sugar conditions?

    Well, it's kindof asking for citation of the Earth being round, but here you go (copied ungracefully from the Glucose article on Wikipedia):

    Oh, and last, but not least, life expectancy is a near meaningless statistic. It has more to do with childhood mortality than the ages adults lasted to.

    Well, then show how long their adults lived.

    "Cancer cells thrive in high blood sugar environments."
    Let's see what else thrives in high blood sugar envirnomnet ... Brain cells?

    "Native populations, which had never had cancer in the histories of their people, started getting these "diseases of civilization" when the western diet, with copious amounts of carbohydrate, was introduced."

  16. Re:Doing all my programming in C# on Java's Backup Plan If Oracle Fumbles · · Score: 1

    The thing is, that in a lot of cases you actually should use Runtime Exception instead of static ones. Actually, as far as I know Java is the only language that has static exceptions. (C++ has only runitme exceptions, scripting languages too; I don't know about C#)
    The worst thing you can do is catch all exceptions silently in the outmost method.

    Expanding solar capacity will increase the for-profit funded research as well. If we build only small scale stuff we will never learn to manage the large scale one neither. So even if the only thing it's good for gathering experience, it might worth it.
