Well if you're immune system is expressing large amounts of chitinase because of the vaccine, I wouldn't be surprised if it leads to things like asthma.
As such, it is unsurprisingly related to allergies. What is surprising, perhaps, is that asthma in particular has been linked to enhanced chitinase expression levels.[14][15][16][17][18]
How about Apple just writes a bunch of different anti-virus programs for hackers to circumvent?
Aren't they the ones interested in maintaining their crown?
They know their own operating system better than anyone else (well aside from a small subset of nerds), they are in the best position to do this. Just include the additional cost into whatever premium Apple already charges on their computers.
The antivirus application scene for the PC is fucking annoying as is, don't bring this stupidity to Apple. There's 20 different names for the same virus, the viruses that do get caught depend on which AV software you're using, and the age of the virus...
Isn't this really the future of computing anyhow? Writing an operating system that doesn't get hacked by some random teenager on IRC.
"BTW, this claim that he raised most of his money from private contributors isn't an accurate representation when he didn't verify who was sending him money. It simply can't be as one report found out, with the credit card fraud stuff disabled, he was able to donate $20- ten times in different names all of which contained the letters Barack Obama spelled in different ways. It will take years for the FEC to sort that out but it shows a picture that people should at least be questioning."
So if someone looks into this, and discovers that you're full of shit, what comment will you respond with to these allegations? Who's got the scoop on this information? Come on 'sumdumass' - hook us up.
"Once again the mega-corporations are putting profit before morality, said Politician Joe Smith. Added his collegue Senator Sarah Jane: "What do they care if your children are exposed to pornography, or child molesters post their smut online? We need this filtering in order to protect our youngest citizens from corruption, and we can not allow corporate greed to derail us from out goal."
LOL corporate greed. These people are hilarious. This isn't like TV, where you go to a channel and you get content delivered to you. The Internet basically gives you what you want - information - and if you go looking for corruption, you will likely find it. Instead, this Aussie government wants to piss away tax dollars trying to control the multi-tentacled information beast.
Oh no, parents needing to be with their children when they use a computer, having to make sure they aren't looking at pornography! Oh no, people needing to take at least minimal care of their children.
Holy shit, I think I get it now... the Australian government should spend BILLIONS trying to regulate the Internet, so that parents can simply plop their children infront of a computer, and not have to interact with them any longer. So that their children will never be exposed to the interaction of the body parts that basically provided their means of existence!
The child molester issue is worth fighting, but trying to censor content is a giant waste of time and money. No one likes the idea of adults trying to lure children.
Maybe someone can find some dirt on Mr. Joe Smith, see what mega-corporations he's ok with making a profit. Such as... the recording and movie industry, who already want content control...
And if you want to make sure your kids aren't lured in by random internet creepies, don't let them use public chat rooms, exchange private email with strangers, don't let them talk using in-game VoIP... the level of censorship required to provide 99.98% protection against internet based sexual predators would be far too high (bankrupting any company implementing it), because they would need censors/monitors in every public chatroom, on every teamspeak session, in every online video game... good luck with that.
How long must we wait before most politicians are reasonably competent about these issues?
Benzene, Toluene, basically most of the stuff that's in gasoline, and MMT... these are all more likely sources than vaccinations. People just get regular exposure to these chemicals, it's part of our car culture...
Just look at that MMT molecule - it looks fucking badass! Hehe, wow - look at this, an easy Google search and the EPA hands this right to me:
"One recent California study reported that a modest increase in the incidence of autism was associated with the highest 25% of manganese air concentrations (65)." Source (MMT has a manganese atom in the middle of it)
Oh yeah - It's probably also worth blaming whatever chemical clouds are making it over the Pacific.
Vaccines?? Come on... let's look at the obvious sources of carcinogens and mutagens. I just think it's far more likely to be the fuel for industrial progress... no matter how bad it is, we'll still end up using it in large amounts daily, and spreading the chemical love all around the world.
Stuff like this just adds more backing to my argument.
But yeah, vaccine soup does kind of worry me, just doesn't seem that likely to me. I honestly hope you're right, and it's the vaccines, because that's something we can get some control over... where as this gasoline issue; we pretty much need a working, feasible nuclear fusion reactor now to solve that problem. (which could introduce a whole other set of issues...)
Well yeah, that's how surveillance on citizens work.
You intimidate the shit out of them by telling them they're being watched all the time.
Internet cafes in North America, especially ones dedicated to video games, tend to create user accounts, and give visitors account cards. They may not put their picture on the card, but they do keep track based on name at least. I'm sure if they ask for a driver's license, most people offer it to them. It's so the cafe owners can limit their liability if a customer is committing a crime through their computers. (eg. trading child porn, warez, death/bomb threats..)
I just don't like the idea of the government implementing this sort of system. It should be left to cafe operators instead, and authorities should be required to obtain a search warrant if they want to obtain cafe user account information.
That way the government itself must go through the proper legal channels. Right now, the situation in China sounds as if the government can just obtain that information at will, which is obviously a major loop hole for abuse of power.
Any government, Communist or not, should require itself to operate within the law, for the benefit of all it's citizens. Not walk over everyone's privacy just to witch hunt a handful of political troublemakers.
Yeah, but you're forgetting the simple fact that it was Apple who initially started introducing FireWire, and it's Apple customer's who bought FireWire peripherals. Why the fuck would they drop FireWire on their new products?
They should release some FireWiFi standard, and a little box that has FireWire ports to provide the legacy support externally of the product.
Ethernet is fucking slow as well, and requires disconnecting your computer from a network just to do the file transfer.
meh, I don't even know why I'm posting about this topic. Macs are for rich people, and I'm totally not.
They already spilled the beans - femtosecond laser pulses against silicon wafer in sulfur hexafluoride gas.
The problems probably are:
1. femtosecond laser pulses aren't exactly easy to make
2. the power density of the beam (if they increase the spot size, the power density goes down, meaning it's more costly and difficult to expose larger portions of the wafer at once, hence increasing time and cost)
3. sulfur hexafluoride - ummm hexafluoride anything is probably not the safest thing to deal with, hence - increasing cost
4. effects of oxide formation post-processing probably increases problems
5. thermal noise... probably not much of an issue, plus I don't think they're talking about far IR photons, just IR that would normally be picked up in a GaAs detector
6. there is no mention of what wavelength of laser light they're using, so if it's something in the UV range, they'd need more expensive optics, increasing costs yet again.
I just want these SiOnyx people to do this with Uranium Hexafluoride. I want them to do it NOAW!
That should have a beautifully large cross-section, gobbling up lots of photons, and would give the nuclear industry something to do besides fission. This is just a guess, maybe there's some fucked up reason UF6 just wouldn't work for this purpose. I just like the idea of increasing the absorption band of photovoltaics.
meh... back to reading the Modern Physics textbook.
The company name is a good choice, it sounds like Psionics, which implies of Psi, the Greek letter used to represent wavefunctions, on top of the onyx for black.
Hey, he's just starting his own covert cyber defense research lab...that's all.
He should submit an Ask/. Question, something like "Hey/., I recently obtained a large amount of military computer equipment, and would like to form a team of computer hackers. Send resumes to k.lepto@navy.mil.gov if you're interested in working on this unique, once in a lifetime job opportunity."

Yeah, cause this guy wanted to risk his reputation, and research, by using a methodology that is obviously flawed.
The link goes straight to a University's press release department.
If his research didn't lead to any meaningful results, they probably wouldn't have published a press release stating that this improves fuel efficiency.
What the fuck is everyone's problem here!?
Just because the parent commenter says it's snake oil, we're going to get 100+ comments reiterating the same shit? And who the fuck keeps modding these comments as insightful?
The whole idea makes sense to me - smaller droplet sizes allows for better air/fuel mixing. If applying an electric field makes this easier to accomplish, awesome! It sounds like a low-cost method for improving fuel efficiency, exactly what auto manufacturers want.
aaaah fuck. I was trying to do something like this...
heh they hit the stumbling block I was thinking that would be a problem. The decoding of all that data... mmmm... unleash the fury of Fourier on that shit.
It honestly feels a lot different after quitting smoking cigarettes. It's as if being stoned makes no difference... the cigarettes seemed to be fucking everything up.
I've managed to quit smoking now for the 4th time, and being stoned makes no difference in basic tasks... I just end up laughing a lot more over annoying crap.
Slashdot Mirror
heh yeah I didn't read it at all. I was just responding to the parent.
Plus vaccines are general for viruses, not fungi - which chitinase expresses for...
Well if you're immune system is expressing large amounts of chitinase because of the vaccine, I wouldn't be surprised if it leads to things like asthma.
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chitinase :

Hey - Nicaraguan CIA style sounds like the way to go.

heh I didn't even bother taking into consideration the city. I was talking in general terms, if police elsewhere are going to do this.
hrmmm what's easier, cracking their encrypted signal to get some gps coordinates, or just detecting signal strength?
Cracking the encrypted signal would obviously be ideal, and more l33t, but seems like a pain in the ass when compared to triangulation.
Obviously neither is as easy as it sounds, unless the police all use the same encryption key, and some protocol that's easily cracked - like WEP.
Dude, you can have a real-time police radar like in GTA4.
Each car is constantly transmitting ... a proximity detector should be rather easy to implement just based on signal strength alone.
Depending what frequency they're using, you can possibly use two antennas to triangulate a guess as to where the police car is relative to you.
The pain in the ass comes in when you start dealing with reflected signals in urban areas.
Democrat Vampires, Republican Zombies - so the Shadowrunners get to take down both of them?
Fucking cool!!!

Does that mean 25 single frequencies in the kHz range? Or do you mean you can hear over 25 kHz?
