  2. Re:Oh, if we could predict weather 3 days from now on 1981 Paper's Predictions for Global Temperatures Spot-On · · Score: 1

    lol Thats correct. Rather than have a conversion on WHY we can't predict the weather for 3 days let alone decades, just make personal attacks. Climate science doesn't have much data to go on, of course I still support their work. I don't think its mature enough yet to be useful to determine if its the sun or industrialization thats making the planet .3 degrees warmer over a ten year period or whatever the results seem to be this month.

    If no one is willing to say anything and at least argue a few points, then we just have dumb ideas be popular opinion for decades. Gore still has multiple houses, and flies in jets. I don't see him acting like mother Teresa over global climate change. I don't even see him donating most of his own money toward it.

    Anyone afraid of stock market change, political change, income change..etc? If people are afraid of change, then they are afraid of everything.

    I hate this topic, because we can't even predict the weather a week in advance.

    Maybe now people won't trust everything that as a science label on it.

    I'm all for science, but I'm also for some discernment in not believing everything you read or hear. People that just 'trust the system' are a joke in my opinion.

  6. Re:funny... on Early Exposure To Germs Has Lasting Benefits · · Score: 1

    My mother a nurse had me on antibiotics every year for colds, ear aches...etc. It was an endless cycle till I was 26+. Now if I get a cold, I see to only feel sick for a couple hours, instead of days.

    Of course now, I haven't been taking any of her normal advice. I eat more raw organic foods, eat grass fed beef, and take turmeric, quality CoQ10, and Vitamin D3 2500 UI. When everyone around me, even my wife (who has her own ideas) is getting sick with everyone else. I think I'm on the right track. I also work about 12+ hours a day including weekends. Main stream medical advice be damned, I don't need a flu shot.

    Yes, but there is typically more bacteria on spinach leaves than raw milk.

    It is funny how we get our food from that dirty dirt, and cow poop is used to fertilize our vegetables.

  8. Re:Self-Treatment =/= Doctor on Are Smartphones Starting a Boom In DIY Medicine? · · Score: 1

    There are other reasons to do this. Small town doctors are terrible. It's better to double check on anything they say. I've mentioned things several times that I read on the Internet about in their own field, and they were oblivious. But they are also the kind of doctors that haven't learned anything new in 15 years. There are some good doctors, absolutely, but if you live in a small town, you might be stuck with someone who doesn't keep up.

    The other problem is the time ratio. They examine you for 30 minutes, and come up with a 'solution'. Where you can research something for weeks in your spare time. Even if your doctor is a genus, are they really going to be able to best someone with half a brain that spends a lot of time researching a solution and has a large vested interest? Doubtful. In my personal experience, they don't seem to get much better with return visits and trial and error.

  9. Re:If they don't trust vaccines... on Doctors "Fire" Vaccine Refusers · · Score: 1

    I think gullible people always believe everything an 'expert' says, without knowing the logic behind it.

    Would you implicitly trust 'experts' from every profession? Would you never consider a 'second opinion' if you had cancer?

  10. Re:Child neglect on Doctors "Fire" Vaccine Refusers · · Score: 1

    I was five years old when I got the chicken pox. My friend had it too. He came over and we had a party all week.

    I wouldn't exactly call chicken pox child abuse. Child chicken pox is much less worse that adult chicken pox. The pox immunity from an injection may only last a few years, and you could end up getting it as an adult anyway.

    I really don't understand the hate toward people that think differently than you. I think a more rational, non-judgmental attitude might be more useful.

  11. Re:Swine flu on Doctors "Fire" Vaccine Refusers · · Score: 1, Informative

    My mother was a nurse. One of her best friends was PARALYZED from a flue vaccine. It's very sad, that could happen to someone apparently healthy.

    There's over 24 vaccinations that are given to kids now. Russian roulette anyone?

    Once you eliminate the right to choose, you can't avoid the land mines when they come. There will also ways be bad vacinee batches, and there will be vaccines that work was well as Vioxx eventually.

  12. Re:Consider me fired. on Doctors "Fire" Vaccine Refusers · · Score: -1, Troll

    Funny. Doctors think that these vaccine companies never make mistakes. If there's a bad batch floating around (it happens) can they fire you if your refuse?

    I'm for some personal freedom into what kind of crap your going to inject into my bloodstream, and I'm going to some @#$! research on each component before you do.

    My mom is a nurse, and her best friend was paralyzed from the flu shot. How's that instead of a @#$@ three days of down time?

  13. Brings Back Memories... Mark Ludwig was the BOMB on Symantec Identifies Android Trojans That Mutate With Every Download · · Score: 1

    Brings back memories of when I was in high school... I bought Mark Ludwig's book, 'The big black book of computer viruses'.



    I didn't actually write any viruses from reading the book, just a fun boot sector program that displayed subliminal messages. It also happened to get installed on a few choice computers.

    Here's his 'little black book' book: http://vxheavens.com/lib/vml00.html. Of course his work talked about polymorphism over a decade ago.

  14. Just a Tax and Keeps Large Companies in Control on Ex-FCC Chair: Spectrum Plan "Single Worst Telecom Bill I've Seen" · · Score: 1

    You'd think they could just pass a law that would allow 90% of all available frequencies to be free, provided you played nice. We already have to play nice to some degree.

    I feel that when a company like Verizon pays billions of dollars for a certain frequency, its an additional tax on us ALL.

    I think we'll eventually move in that direction, but I'm not sure if we are ready just yet. I think we should take a slice of the spectrum now, and allow it to be free, provided you follow the agreed upon protocols. Something like high powered OpenWRT/DDWRT mesh networks.

    Just my 2 cents...

    I think everyone should know at least a little about other professions they need to deal with. Unfortunately, the more you know about a subject, the more you see your doctor, your mechanic, your building contractors fucking things up...etc.

    You can watch ads on TV EVERY DAY of the week on how company X is devoted to quality and service, but in the end, you'll get a prescription for Voxx, car parts that cost 4 times what they are worth, and a new house with a 50% markup from industry standards.

    Sadly the difference between a 'professional' and amateur, usually isn't much. There's too many trained monkeys, who can't actually think, are are just spewing the same words they were taught to memorize.

  20. Expert Witness on Paul Ceglia Fined $5,000 In Facebook Case · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I live near Ceglia, and his lawyer asked me to be an expert witness in this case. It was a short high paying job, but the lawyer was being secretive about what the project was. I was told it was to check some emails to see if they were authentic.

    I didn't sign the NDA right away because the lawyer was acting strangely about my requests to have everything in writing. After doing some googling, I found the lawyers name associated with Ceglia. I told the lawyer about the on-line news articles that saw about Ceglia, that he looked like the scourge of the earth (ripping people off before in some heating scam), and I wanted no part of it. I'm glad I didn't blacken my companies reputation with that crap- if I were to be in the news.

    From what I was told, the emails they wanted me to 'verify' were several years old, had no encryption, and no digital signatures of any kind. They wanted to validate the authenticity of plain-text emails, that everyone knows are easy to spoof, and even easier to edit your own copies.

    Unfortunately, it didn't get enough votes to make the front page. I wish more people were focused on freedom, as well as technology here, but more and more people are waking up quickly now. It's hard not to be aware of it, when our government throws something in our face almost every week.

    I think its important to remember that there are 500-1000 congressmen and senators, while the US population is 307,006,550. The people really do have the power take control of their government-if they wake up.
