No, if you are using Firefox, the VBScript that triggers the exploit will not be run.
(I guess the exploit is still there, but I'm not sure how it is going to do anything, as the trigger requires malicious code to be loaded into IE, and then the user needs to press F1 while the code is doing its thing)
Well, I'm not real sure that someone who can afford to attend a concert for $100 a seat would be priced out by tickets that were $150 (or $20 and $30, you get the idea).
Also, your second paragraph hinges on luck being more virtuous than $50, which I see as a pretty big assumption.
And if we are discussing ticket prices, I think the fact that some shows would end up having cheaper tickets available is pretty relevant (especially when the 'fairness' of higher prices is being discussed!).
You are making an awful lot of assumptions (the biggest one being that every single show will sell well enough that people that can afford fixed prices will be priced out).
I really don't understand your tone. You don't actually contradict anything I said, and you are slightly mangling the article (it mentions MRSA because it is the most well known problematic infection, the article is about a different type of bacteria that is also problematic, but much less common (which is a big reason that there are fewer drugs).
And sure, new drugs will have unknown characteristics, but much of the progress in drug medicine over the last 25 years has been to lower the side effects of drugs while maintaining effectiveness. And then there is the part where scientists are starting to characterize how bacteria interact with the body, rather than studying how they interact with a growth culture, which means there are many possibilities for much subtler drugs.
Is the filtration selective? If it were, it seems like there is a possibility that a less toxic substance could be flooded in and reduce the amount of the antibiotic that was in the kidneys at a given time.
You are being reactionary. A few classes of antibiotics have lost effectiveness against some infections. Other antibiotics are still usually effective (and we are being more careful with those), and there are finally new antibiotics being developed (along with drugs that interfere with bacteria in fun new ways).
Without disease? Probably (for one thing, life extension means that we keep finding fun new aging related problems). But that's okay when you consider that things like small pox and polio are largely solved problems, and that bacterial infections are still usually not lethal (even severe ones).

So you run it with the expectation that it won't do anything?

And the other half isn't even tested.

When singularity come, electronics end up all over.

Stop calling it identity theft.
It as "Banks refusing to take action to prevent fraud".
If a risk to humans is ever substantiated, the antennas would be removed.
Haven't you seen the 'living in the age of wonders' videos from the 50s that showed kids swimming in pools that were being fogged with DDT?
Controlling malaria is probably a sane use of it, but they were way past that.
My favorite is when they inundate the east coast with snow.
If you kill yourself now, you won't have to risk it.
Does that get administered into your ear canal then? Or is there some more disturbing process?

A common form of resistance is to build a molecular pump that pushes the antibiotic out of the cell. That definitely takes energy to grow and run.
I hope he named the wrong myth, Odysseus is repeatedly rewarded for using his wits to solve his problems.
Assuming they delay the process by a decade, 200,000-300,000 in the U.S., but that is assuming that all of those people are otherwise healthy.
That's more than AIDs but less than car accidents (and a hilarious footnote compared to heart disease and cancer).

I doubt the problem is from faulty analysis, I'm pretty sure that it is from lack of analysis.
The interesting thing there is that it would only be a great deal of money, you wouldn't be particularly wealthy (in a relative sense).

Magic.
The really odd part is that, for much of the Midwest, temperatures this year have been somewhat above average.
