Thats why I'd like to recommend the new KoolAid cure for modern day cynicism. It's called "Cynicool (tm)" and its FANTASTIC. Believe me I was misarable when I was like you, until I tried "Cynicool"!

Either way you're all out to get me
I spend all day at work developing software, when I get home I want to play computer games. I HATE the fact that I have to load an OS filled with bloat in order to play games, and the fact that I have to use incredibly overspecd hardware to support this OS layer, Vista will be worse, I will be forced to upgrade due to Lack of DX10 support on XP, more expense, more bloat.
I just hope the Vista release will help push more game developers to support open source platforms.
Personally I bought a bog standard generic MP3 player from "Dick Smiths" (electronics store) for half the price of an IPod, twice the storage space, user changeable battery, no software lockin (standard USB drive), easy to use. can't understand people buying any device with these lockins, I assume it comes down to ignorance and buying into the marketing/fashion hype.
I think that viruses, in particular retro-viruses, will rapidly become one of the essential medical toolkits
for treating a number of genetic diseases. They also show alot of potential for treating cancer by targeted drug delivery and cell lysis (google "oncolysis").
Ironically viruses like Herpes may end up saving quite a few lives.
I'd love to have a job hacking genomes, but given then again given some of the code bugs I've generated in the past, perhaps it's safer for humanity if I don't tinker.
ALL influenza strains were originally a bird disease, your comparison with shark attacks breaks down in the face of the millions killed by the Spanish flu epidemic alone.

Putting your oxygen mask on first, is putting your childrens wellbeing first. Working hard to keep a relationship intact is, in many cases also putting your children first.
Yeah totally agree with parent, methane is really a much bigger danger. Personally I'm very concerned with the enormous methane hydrate deposits at the North Pole and Siberia which are currently kept in check by the ice caps and permafrost. We need to know more about the stability of these deposits because if they start to outgas not only will we see some quite horrendous local extiction events, but the warming could accelerate substantially in a positive feedback cycle.

No not British, New Zealandish, but I would guess that most people have the same problem with trying to filter the spin out of their countries News service. I know that is the case in New Zealand, but probably to a lesser degree than the US or Britain.
When it comes down to it I guess the News we get is what the majority of the audience is willing to accept, maybe most people only want news that affirms their predjudices and that they're willing to accept.
What I'd love to see is something along the lines of Wikipedia for current events, but i have doubts that this may be possible given the likelyhood of a large numbers of contributors with biased opinions. The concept of a "Fair Witness" from "A Stranger in a Strange Land" is what we really need.

I believe researchers are currently working on a Genetically modified Tumor that targets nanoparticles
Been there, done that. Next you'll be telling us the the first controlled flight took place in America.
... but of course the Australians are still quite happy to claim our television programs, music, art and scientific achievements as their own.

Any physicists out there who can comment on how the synthesis of this new element affects the next island of stability for heavy elements??
