  9. Re:I always wondered if this is feasible on Injected Proteins Protect Mice From Lethal Radiation Dose · · Score: 2

    hardening the human body to radiation is far fetched, you are correct

    but portable gravity is orders of magnitude more far fetched

  10. I always wondered if this is feasible on Injected Proteins Protect Mice From Lethal Radiation Dose · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Radiation and life are not mutually exclusive. Heck, there are fungi and bacteria that THRIVE on radiation:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiotrophic_fungus

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deinococcus_radiodurans

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermococcus_gammatolerans

    This treatment mentioned here has another key use besides radiation accidents on Earth: long term space travel.

    If we are going to Mars, we are going to have to harden the human body to radiation exposure.

    Through some combination of genetic treatments gleaned from researching radiation extremophiles, and research like this excellent find on these proteins, the human body should be able to be hardened to long term high levels of radiation. That's excellent news for space travel.

  11. I knew it on Transplant Surgeon Called Dibs On Steve Jobs' Home · · Score: 1

    First they kill Michael Jackson, then they kill Steve Jobs. And they charge a month's salary to see them for 10 minutes.

    We have to get rid of these doctors from society, what good do they do?

  12. Re:When will we realize... on Arizona H-1B Workers Advised to Carry Papers At All Times · · Score: 1

    no, might does not make right

    right makes might

    seriously, learn the new way of the world

  13. Re:When will we realize... on Arizona H-1B Workers Advised to Carry Papers At All Times · · Score: 1

    the claim in question here is to moral authority, not who can piss on the most trees and claim territory like a dog

    welcome to politics: who can appear to be most right, therefore becomes might. an inversion of might makes right. the story now is about who can appeal to the most people, not who can shoot the most people

    thus, less graves, more peace: progress

    now we have to work on the part where people still gain power by appealing only to the ugliest side of human nature they can find, the worst fears, the stupidest thinking

    so that's more progress ahead of us as a nation that we need

  14. Re:Extradition? WTF? on Jimmy Wales Calls UK Government To Halt O'Dwyer Extradition · · Score: 5, Interesting

    due to the borderless nature of the internet, what this guy does in the UK most certainly has an impact on the media business in the USA

    this is not a statement in support of this bullshit extradition, this is to point out how utterly fucked american IP law is in the modern world, eventually

    because you would have to constantly extradite citizens of other countries to the USA to continue the existence of this rent seeking parasitical media business

    obviously, the idea that you are extraditing people from other countries for this "horrible crime" should rise to the level of such moral stink that there is no way this can continue... were it not for the media corporations greasing the palms of enough legislative whores and executive enforcement goons

    i'm not one to give up the game so easily, as some cynical cowards are when it comes to the wholesale purchase of our government by corporations. no, the game is not over. yes, you can defeat the corruption of our government: with enough people caring and not just throwing up their hands at news like this

    we the people still matter, so let us fight the good fight and raise the proper moral stink our corrupt, compromised conflicted government cannot

    all this emaggeek guy makes is toaster ovens

  17. the apple store employee was iranian american on Georgia Apple Store Refuses To Sell iPad To Iranian-American Teen · · Score: 2, Insightful

    this is political grandstanding between two iranian americans

    it has nothing to do with US policy, or apple

    don't let that stop a bunch of hobby intarwebs armchair analysts to use the contrived bullshit "event" to engage in holier than thou sophistry

  18. angry birds played by a toddler on Witness Ridicules 'Hands-On' Reviews of Surface · · Score: 2

    a hands on review must include a game of angry birds
