  1. Re:False Statements on Nationwide Shortage In Supply of Swine Flu Vaccine · · Score: -1

    Flu covers the globe... I know you live in your own little world where you are all that is in it, but um... the USA isnt the only one that has to deal with the flu. We are one of the few that actively fights it.

    Yes, every flu like symptom is now the H1N1. Good call sir, you have been brainwashed.

    A senator has already argued the radiation point. It was part of a Nuclear Power initiative he was doing.

    I dont call em cowards, I call em ignorant. Of course, after they push the button they wont be learning anything anymore. Tough shit for them I guess.

  5. I dunno... Id take it as a hint on Behind the Scenes With America's Drone Pilots · · Score: -1

    When a drone is hovering, you dont know whats coming for you if they are looking for you. They dont need to be scared of the drone, just scared that it sees them and a missile is pinpointed on their sphincter.

    Now if they could only invent a device that got rage drivers, drivers that talk on phones/text, drivers that do makeup, and drivers that read the paper we will have better roads.

    You assume too much. Would you be a willing speech advocate if your child was harmed due to speech on the internet? Harmed could be anywhere from crying about it to deep depression to suicide. Yeah, its happened.

  9. Re:Glad I left that shithole on Arizona Considers Selling Capitol Buildings · · Score: -1

    Well, the good news is it is now a law that people can carry concealed firearms legally into Bars. Oh, but even though they are concealed, they are on the honor system. No drinking alcohol if you are carrying. Also, if there is a sign that says no firearms allowed, you cant bring them in. But this is Arizona... where Sheriff Joe Arpio (sp?) is more concerned about illegals than he is about drunk drivers, driving while texting, speeding, rage drivers, and all the other horribad drivers we have out here. Crossing the street? Not in this State... you will get mauled and no one will stop. What? We have radar cameras? Pppffttt, look into our prosecution of them; there isnt any... 25% or so even pay the tickets which means 25% of Arizonians give a shit... the rest are red neck douches with 10ft high Toyotas. Shithole indeed good sir. There is a ton more... but I dont want to write a book.

    Not just in China. India also does it. Not only do they pay their workers less, but they skimp on software that we here in the USA can get busted for quickly. Outsourcing is just another commodity in this "Free Trade" world that is unfair to the USA. How can USA companies and their employees compete with people who steal?

  12. Re:EMR Debate. on Electronic Medical Records, the Story So Far · · Score: -1

    Interesting that the back and forth on the debate is just like any political debate. The never-ending debate Issue -> discuss problems of issue -> propose general solution -> Issue. No one ever gets down to the details its just generalized propaganda and hot air. Here is the deal, HL7 has been a communication standard, think of it as the IEEE networking layers. You have your basic standards then you have your sections that can be manipulated to contain any data. Someone proposed XML on the forums. XML? Why do they need a new standard when HL7 is already availible? Sales pitch is why, spend money. Delivery? PGP encryption or if need of a live feed, VPN. Oddly already availible. Uhg...

  13. What is the debate? on Electronic Medical Records, the Story So Far · · Score: -1

    Quite frankly I do not get what the debate is. Technologies are already developed to provide secure connections to patients. Back end securities are already developed to provide interoffice communications. Build interfaces for data to talk to each system and then build towards one centralized uniform system. It is easy to also deliver this data to patients, however the human factor (I call Darwinism) is always the concern. If IT ever figgures out the human factor, meaning the stupidity of the average person to come up with simple passwords, forget passwords, give out/share passwords, or keep compromised systems compromised then our work will be done. Until then, make people realize their data is in their hands. Educate on this fact and be done with it. Access to data, even your own, comes at a cost. The cost isnt a buck o' five, but rather maintaining ones own standards and rules when accessing data or giving out information. The status so far? Crap, we should have been done by now.

    Uh, if the crime was commited on US soil, it is the jurisdiction of where the crime was comitted. The FBI had to resort to such tactics because for whatever reason the German Authorities could not capture this person. FYI, if you dont know the crime was commited on Valve computers, meaning the original crime was performed in the USA. I wonder what your reasoning is... criminal is my guess.

  18. Re:Just like the brain areas "you don't use" on Opposable Thumbs and Upright Walking Caused By "Junk DNA" · · Score: 1

    We actually use 90% of our brains. It has been discovered that there is "grey matter" and "white matter". "Grey matter" is thought to conduct or transport data between the "white matter", which is the processing part of our brains. So in essence we have multiple processors, much like todays CPUs except our processors are more specific in what they process. AI is around the corner, you have your choice of fears, Matrix, Transformers, 8ft tall bears that shoot laserbeams from their eyes....

  23. Re:Not Google. on Is Google Making Us Stupid? · · Score: 1

    I believe what he is saying about making us smarter is that before if we did not know the answer we had to "look it up" in books or think logically about it, if thats possible. However, if we dont know about something now... say a question about an event in history... well there are many opinions and interpitations on the internet. I believe the reality is that most people will just take an opinion as fact... for it is on the internet (hence the joke about "well its on the internet") instead of researching deeper and finding other opinions about something and then forming their own opinion about the question. So, is the internet making us smarter or dumber? Depends on the person, as always and forever.
