  3. No on Is the Era of Groundbreaking Science Over? · · Score: 0

    Cancer used to be a total death sentence, but now it is not. It required large amount of intricate research that turned into drugs like Gleevec which treat chronic myeloid leukemia as well as other cancers. Drugs that work on turning on or off cellular communication pathways are just over the horizon.

    there was some way to see where people search, like a record stored in a device stored between a computer and the internet. Oh wait there is: its called a cable or DSL modem.

    The US should have to do everything or be brought into everything. They gots their own problems.

  8. Re:People care about Oprah? on Is Oprah Cheating On Her Microsoft Love? · · Score: 0

    Oprah is useless and misguided. For example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOyqpKXJBXw. Tad bit hard to look at. She goes on in the show about how she wants to help Rudine then proceeds to do absolutely nothing of help and Rudine dies.

  9. Hmmm Linux on Ask Slashdot: What Video Games Keep You From Using Linux? · · Score: 0

    I can tell you its not the games that keep me from using Linux. Its all the bullshit that gets in the way using it as a general purpose OS.

    The stock market put the CAPITAL in CAPITALism or so I always thought. Its why the markets were able to expand in the first place when the dutch started created the first kind of markets in the 1400s in Europe. I may be wrong, but thats what I thought I learned from classes in college a very long time ago. In fact the stock market is like an offshoot of the idea of banking and currency creation from even further back in history. The idea was, if I remember correctly, that that not everybody was using their money at the same time so why not put that money together and do something with it that was bigger than any one investor could do. Then when someone needed their money as long as not everyone came at once the money they put away could be given to the person who was withdrawing. I could be wrong here.

  15. Re:If Obama's BIRTH can be an issue on Let the Campaign Edit Wars Begin · · Score: 0

    I wonder if the countries that have social medical care have higher per capita wealth.

  17. Re:You guys are easily depressed. on Ask Slashdot: What's the Most Depressing Sci-fi You've Ever Read? · · Score: 0

    I think the poster was saying that they were seeing the death of privacy from both giving it away to Facebook and from Government encroaching with wire taps. In 1984 nothing is private. A quote from the book says "Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimetres inside your skull." Those are my examples of the general idea I got from the poster.

  25. Re:First post from firefox on Chrome 15 Overtakes IE 8 For Top Browser Spot · · Score: 0

    That isn't true. Even if Firefox went away there would still be a great browser out there. It is called Opera. Oh wait... I see... Opera is like Ron Paul in the 2012 republican campaign.
