My wife and I stumbled into this information on cesium treatment of cancer: http://cancer-coverup.com/fighters/cesium_a.html The interesting thing we read was that cesium in its radio active form is what is used in chemo-therapy, because it's attracted to the cancer cells. But the non-radio active form is also attracted and actually kills the cancer cells. In parts of the world where cesium appears naturally in the soil there is no incidence of cancer.
I've got to say that this SCO conversation is getting old. It's beginning to annoy me like the news does with its continuous "reporting" of the latest Michael Jackson drammas, and the like, ad nausium. Remember OJ Simpson? Took me about 4 hours before I had had enough of that.
Isn't it about time we move on and give SCO and this topic the attention it deserves?
These registries, and the media attention granted this subject is about one thing; money.
What this subject does is sell papers and news broadcasts. Look at the attention we give MJ, all those tittlating little details. There's nothing like turning on the news at 10 to hear the first words of the reporter "police are on the hunt tonight for a sexual predator..." Ask yourself, what would you rather hear about on the news, the latest sex crime, or the latest murder crime?
Do these headlines make us safe? I hardly think so. It sure does keep people tuned in, however.
The registries themselves don't increase the safety of our neighborhoods. Criminals, of any sort, can certainly move around, catch a bus, drive to a different city. A registry is not going to stop a criminal, but people paying attention to their surroundings can.
How about setting up our spam filters so that when a spam is detected, an automatic reply is sent - scanning the email for clickable links and response addresses ought to be simple enough, eh?
I don't have examples of software gone wrong, but I sure like your question. What your question brings to mind, however, is the requirement for Aviation-class instrumentation software. There is a certification process DO-178B that is designed to insure reliability of software. (I think that's the right cert-number). Maybe this is something you already know about. My thought is the DO-178 document is also a good tool for designing reliable software, and also, in your search, you may find articles in that arena that may answer your question. (I'll double-check that number with my av-instrument buddy).

Is there really a cancer cover-up?
