  1. anabolic steriods on Gene Therapy Creates Strong Super-Rats · · Score: 1

    It seems like a lot of people are comparing this to steroids and pointing out that steroids have health risks. This is true only when they are abused. Anabolic steroids, when cycled properly, have no ill effects. The sources of this information are the lectures I've had on reproductive and developmental biology in medical school and college. (I would never take them, though)

  2. Re:Alternative life forms on Europa's Acid Ice Fields · · Score: 1

    Don't forget about ammonia-based, instead of water-based, lifeforms!

  4. Re:iSight on a PC? on Audio/Video Conference with iChat and AIM · · Score: 2, Informative

    You can use iSight with Windows just fine. "Knight explained that Apple and AOL were able to bridge the two online communities by incorporating standards-based technology in their respective software applications. Because the iSight is also a standards-based camera, Knight said that AIM users should be able to use it as their video device if they want to -- he added that Windows users would also need an external microphone or another source of audio if they were using the iSight on a Windows PC, unlike their Mac counterparts." http://maccentral.macworld.com/news/2004/02/05/ich ataim/index.php?redirect=1075980632000

  5. Re:Way to go Apple and Pepsi but.... on Apple and Pepsi Ad Sports RIAA Targets · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't quite see how this is a jab at the RIAA. This is what the RIAA wants, money for music.

  6. Re:Friendster is so 2003 on Google Social Network: Orkut · · Score: 1

    if you charge for it, it's doa. other pay services have taken off, there isn't room for any more. friendster is a bait and switch. they plan on charging for the service in the future.

  7. Re:Friendster is so 2003 on Google Social Network: Orkut · · Score: 1

    what you might be missing is a way to search for people based on zipcode, and a way to message people internally. friendster is like match.com, except free. that's why it's so popular.

  9. 24x dvd-r on PSX Review At Lik-Sang · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I read somewhere the psx was supposed to have a 24x dvd-r drive. so... is it really 24x; what's this "dubbing"? Like dubbing tapes?

  10. Re:India on Bollywood Embraces Kazaa Movie Downloads · · Score: 0, Troll

    In 100? More like 15. America is dead; manufacturing is what made America a superpower, and manufacturing in America is decrepit. Hello China and India!

  11. mp3 tagger for windows on Cultured Perl: Fun with MP3 and Perl, Part 1 · · Score: 1

    I've tried some German program called MP3Tag, but I'm looking for something better. Does anyone have a recommendation for the best mp3 tagging and renaming utility for windows?

  13. Re:Viruses, not virii on First Reproducing Artificial Virus Created · · Score: 1

    But using virii is just plain wrong. If enough people use virii, it's not just a word, it's just ignorance.

  14. Re:Hawkins would whip your ass. on Computer Control Implants for the Paralyzed · · Score: 1

    "I have difficulty thinking more than two dimensions." -Stephen Hawking

  15. canvas bag on Shopping Carts Go Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    What will the impact be on privacy, the cash economy, and the experience of shopping in general?

    If you bring a big canvas bag to throw your stuff in, probably nothing for you.

  16. Re:Edison and Tesla on RIAA Sequentially Repeating Edison's Mistakes? · · Score: 1

    As long as the people that matter (i.e. not the general public) know the truth, all is well.

  18. formal training on Linux Users Try FreeBSD 5, Windows · · Score: 1

    wake me up when they've changed the logo to chrome and made it prominent on the apple website

  20. Re:The Journal of Obvious Results? on Low-Cal Diet Extends Life... As Long as You Don't Eat · · Score: 1

    Well I don't think it's unexplained. There are explanations, but none have been proven yet. One is that lowering caloric intake effectively lowers NADH pools in cells. NADH has been shown to damage ribosomal RNA, so the low calorie diet may increasing life by protecting rRNA.

  21. Re:Um... okay? on G5 PowerBook "Challenge" · · Score: 1

    specifically, he said they wouldn't show up for a while. he never said they weren't going to show up at all.
