    CO2 must also be removed. that's probably what ultimately killed the rabbits.

    Besides overloading the red blood cells with CO2 and preventing the removal from the cells, it also screws up the PH of the blood really quick. I assume that with this process it could get bad enough to lead to shock.

    Now what would be really cool would be if they could come up with a sold-state exchanger for CO2 to O2. Something like a fuel cell in reverse - create a chemical exchange from an electrical power. Implant that into a body and it could run on batteries instead of breathing. But I don't think that technology in that form currently exists. They have "rebreathers" but those are huge space-suit-size affairs and operate on a far more involved process.

    But I bet someone's working on it right now. Probably several someones.

    Yeah, someone is probably working on it but Apple probably has a patent on it already.

    Yeah, the summary was a bit confusing.

  6. Re:If corporations are people on Password Protection Act: Bans Bosses Asking For Facebook Passwords · · Score: 1

    I agree and honestly I wouldn't want to work for a company that asked this. Times are tough and if you are out of work and have been a long time it would make it hard to stand your ground on this one. I would be tempted to ask the interviewer for a login account to the companies servers in return. After all I need to make sure the company doesn't have something on their servers that I would object to. That would be fair right?

    Let's face it... the particle physicists make all this stuff up. Somehow they figured out how to use particle colliders to synthesise crack cocaine, and ever since then the stuff they've been coming out with has been ever more fantastical.

    Cocaine? Nah, it has to be lsd that they synthesised.

  11. Re:Been following this for awhile. on Strip-Search Case Tests Limits of 4th Amendment · · Score: 1

    It's not about trumping about parental rights. A school is the kid's parent, legally, while the kid is in school, for most purposes. It's called "in loco parentis".

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

    When I was in high school, I read basically everything I could find about the law and schools. There's a lot of things a school can do, because of this principle, that normal companies or governmental institutions cannot do (like restrict free speech, or give out painkillers to kids) that appear to be unconstitutional, but have been upheld by the supreme court.

    Well in that case they should be be up on charges of sexual abuse. If a parent did this to their child the parents would be arrested and the child removed from the home. If it was my daughter I would be facing assault and battery charages.

    I guess I can see your argument. Don't happen to agree with it though. The problem is that while there are no values involved in knowing how to talk, there are values in how to talk to others, and how to treat others. If we choose not to teach our values to our children, believe me someone else will be more than ready to teach them theirs. Since I have a choice, I choose to teach them mine.

    Tell you what. You raise your kids the way you want and I'll raise mine the way I want. Who knows maybe they will eventually meet on /. and have the same argument we are having :)

    I take it you don't have children?

    How, do you expect to raise a child without teaching them right or wrong? I'm not trying to get into a debate about what is right or wrong. Just asking a question.

    So, you're saying we should only feed and cloth children, nothing else right? I mean otherwise we would be forcing our beliefs on them.

    My post was more aimed at child molestors, and was partly in jest. Sorry, guess I should have included a :) in my original post.

    You do make a good point though. There have been cases of parents arrested and I'm sure a few convictions for having pictures of their kids nude or partial nude. i.e bath tub pictures.

    So, I do see a problem with having punishments that are that severe. Although, only because of the few innocent people that are convicted. No amount of compensation would make up for that type of punishment. Same reason I'm not entirely for the death penalty.
