The article acknowledges its own shortcomings: Vitamin D levels could possibly be used as a measurement of sunlight exposure in people not taking supplements and not conscientiously eating the proper foods. So when someone's chronically ill or massively overweight and doesn't go outside to exercise, their vitamin D levels will be decreased. Those people already have an increased 8 year mortality regardless of how much vitamin D they consume or have in their diet.
It's like the studies "linking" coffee to lung cancer years ago: once it was realized that lots of people smoke when they drink coffee, those studies looked ridiculous.

Actually, the reaction in your eyes works different: when you close them, or the lights go out, THAT is when your brain is getting a signal. Light actually causes that signal to NOT get sent--probably an evolutionary way of freeing up "computing power" when you're awake.
At least I think that's what they told me in biochemistry 4 years ago...it could be a dream though, biochem will do that.
From the article: "If we don't enter this market, then exactly what happened to the music industry could happen to us, where we ignore it, keep our heads in the sand and everybody starts posting the content up there and ripping us off."
Yeah, because nobody posts TV shows on Usenet or Bittorrent or Kazaa or...
They better get on that, or someone's gonna start making that stuff available to download for FREE!
Why are they installing RedHat 9 again? Isn't that the one that I got an email about a couple weeks ago saying there will be no official updates anymore?
Not that I'll stop using it, or that other people won't come up with updates, but for the very beginner, wouldn't something a bit more current like Redhat Fedora be better? And quite similar?
I wonder if it would be possible using this to copy the label of a DVD as well. I mean, if the image is created by the DVD laser, could it be read by it?

We've got length, breadth...
Inquiring minds want to know...what's the girth?
