    That is not the issue at all.
    The issue is that it is not transporting anything. Merely killing one and creating a very good copy.

    You can prove this by the fact that you could create 100 of them at the end point.

    Do you have any evidence for that?
    My brother works in a lab that produces optical treatments for humans and they have to test all new products quite extensively before they are even allowed to test them on animals. That comes before human trials, and this is for stuff like contact solution and pink eye medicine. I would hope more rigorous testing would be used for pharmaceuticals that are ingested rather than being applied topically.

    It is not semantics.
    The person who started the trip and ended the trip using conventional methods was made of all the same stuff and changed slowly over time. Instead of just a exact replica coming out at the end.

    Which means it is not transporting anything. Just murdering and making a copy of the victim.

    Sure the copy thinks he is the one who stepped into the device at the other end, but he is not.

    They do not test one placebo vs another. That means 0 patients get actual medicine which is why it would fail any ethical review.

    Where did you get your phd?

    Your personal experiences do not change the meanings of words. You opinion of Hong Kong and Singapore change nothing, and certainly not well defined words. If you had to live as the average schmuck in Hong Kong or Paris you would quickly change your tune anyway.

    Your personal meaning of socialism would cover other political philosophies that are diametrically opposed to socialism. To abuse language this way creates confusion and helps no one. I fail to see the value in this. I would imagine your far right ideology compels you to do this.

    That is not how it works.
    They must prove it actually does work.

    The placebo effect is well known and that they why they must test their magic water against a control group given normal water in a well controlled double blind trial. The problem with that is ethical. Since there is no evidence that homeopathy works testing it on sick people would not survive any ethical review if it interfered with real treatment.

    How are socialists relevant to the discussion at hand?

    Surely you don't think President Clinton is a socialist. Perhaps a corporatist, but if you think he is a socialist you have a lot to learn.

    North Korea not run by socialists either, but much of europe is run by democratic socialists.

    Ah, my mistake. Your right, the G2 did not get ICS.

    The amazing thing is that every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics:
    You are all stardust.
    You couldnâ(TM)t be here if stars hadnâ(TM)t exploded, because the elements â" the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution â" werenâ(TM)t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way they could get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget Jesus. The stars died so that you could be here today.

    Android iterates versions a lot faster, I thought.

    G2 has official ICS, no need for hacks.

    LTE is pretty limited, especially AT&T. Technically the GT-i9300(s3 international) would work T-Mobile USA just edge speeds only.
