  1. Re:Modified, Harmless HIV Used on Cancer Cured By HIV · · Score: 1

    The use of the term HIV is more for the mass public than for anything.
    I spoke to my step-father about this and even though he is in the field, he did not know of this treatment.
    after the news release yesterday, a white paper/research paper was released with more information on it. I can not show it, because of copyright.
    http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1103849?query=TOC is another article.
    My step-father states that the form of HIV was used because of its RNA, but it was not the vector for the attack on the cancer cells.

    From my step-father "the virus that was used was a lentivirus which is a group of viruses that have RNA as their genetic material.".
    So the use of HIV is more of a buzz word for standard people.

    If by Anti-capitalist you mean someone who supports small businesses over the larger, who supports a company with creativity instead of stealing ideas of small businesses, who treats their employees fairly instead of paying men more and women less, who supports competition to better the community, and who does not like the idea that jobs were forced overseas by Walmart to reduce the cost of products sold there causing "slave labor" camps in those respective countries, then yes.... I think that is what he means.

    Oh, and I dont shop at Walmart either.

  6. Re:But what matters is the million geek army... on 8 Ways To Circumvent the PROTECT-IP Act · · Score: 1

    Welcome to the typical politics of the USA.
    We have smoke and mirror politics. They say they are doing something, and then cripple it at the end.
    Holy shit, just look at the Ground 0 workmans comp that was passed last year. Took them 9 years to pass it, Jon Stewart to raise awareness and they passed it, except they added a few fuck yous in there... Mainly, not paying for cancer treatment. The #1 thing most Ground 0 workers have. Statistically this is impossible unless there was a specific event all of them can be related to, yet it cant be "proven" that working at ground 0 was the cause of the cancer.

    Wow...
    I mean it is really obvious to your lopsided opinion on this, but I wonder if you really think that or not.
    The reality is that both entities, corporate and government are made up of people... people will do stupid things and probably at the same percentage or rate as both entities
    However, to read what you wrote, you tend to think that there are far more people doing stupid things in Government than business. Where do you get your opinion from? One can only guess, but it seems statistically flawed
    However, to counter your point. I feel that everyone should be subject to laws, and if they break them... accept the consequences. Do not bitch, moan, bribe, cajole, mope, PR blitz, pay someone to throw a pie at you during a hearing, or toss empty pity apologize and then fall asleep during the hearing.
    Take it like a grown up, admit your wrong and go about life. Frankly, any excuse such as the ones above is a cop out and you are lower than a bottom feeder in my eyes.

    While I agree with your post and hope that it continues. The internet cannot contain all the information.
    Due to the corporate mentality of I.P. and the subsequent patent/copyright laws that go with it, not everything is on the internet.
    The medical field for example has multiple white papers, theories, and discoveries hidden behind a wall of corporate "foundations" that require $$ to gain access to.
    Something that is the exact opposite of what the internet was originally intended.
    Perhaps one day these barriers will be broken, but until then journals and subscription requirements will be required for some of our higher level knowledge.

    Yeah, it is a scary thing when a corporation owns a news conglomerate and spins the shit out of anything they want.
    I would not be surprised if a behind the scenes "You dont want us to talk about this? Okay, give us money" thing was happening.
    If anything, News Corp has proven the very thing people had been scared of for decades, corporate owned news is not "freedom of the press" and they can spin things to incite wars, sway politics, and cause chaos if they wanted.
