  1. Re:osama's email on Inside Al-Qaeda's Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    Why wouldn't they choose Asimov (not saying that they did)? Asimov, as well as good science fiction, was critical about the effects technology has on society, something that al-qaeda are concerned about. You have to remember, from their point of view they are not terrorists, they are fighting for the ability to live life the way they always have without the encroachment of 'western' attitudes, like being the incarnation of the seven deadly sins.

    umm, didn't you let them into your own country? It's not like they magickly teleported in from canada. I love it how (usually the us govt) people blame canada just because that was the starting point. Tell me, do you blame the ocean when people come in by boat. You better tell those whales to keep a better watch over who they're letting cross their waters. Damn aquatic sea life, their the reason all those drugs get through. On a side note, about the drugs issue. That one is the funniest. The states always trying to push other countries around because their drugs are coming into the states. Haha, it's just too funny. You see, if the US citizens weren't a big bunch of addicts then those drugs wouldn't need to come in. Besides, we used to protect our borders, from the States! You do remember history right? We thought you guys grew up, and we really don't have much to fear because we don't go around pissing off EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY out there. haha, must stop laughing, i know it'll just piss you off. Come on little skinner rat. :)

    Don't worry. All that terrorist talk is your government terrorizing you so that you'll blindly let in more laws like the Patriot Act. They could tell you what ever you want and if you can't read/understand arabic you're out of luck. Good thing about those color codes for your alert levels, sure makes playing the stock market easier.

  17. Re:One thing is for sure... on Macaque Monkey Goes Totally Bipedal · · Score: 1

    Do you mean pharmaceutical research? Which basically entails extracting components from nature that have been used in the past to treat disorders, packaging it in a pill form and then selling it and making millions when they could just tell people to eat better and take those plants/herbs? When they start doing research on actual health and not band-aid solutions i'll be impressed. If they can get rid of the cut everything out that isn't healthy mentality we'd be better off. The current method of health care which involves killing and maiming is just wrong.

  19. Re:One evolutionary miracle down, two to go... on Macaque Monkey Goes Totally Bipedal · · Score: 1

    Unless of course, bipedalism arose not from a genetic change but from behaviour change. Lets remember that it's highly unlikely that genetic traits for bipedalism would be selected for unless they were of some advantage, i.e. they are already walking. They are of no use to 'four legged' creatures, expecially considering the speed that they can move at on four legs. Now considering how macaques learned how to wash their food and take baths, and that this information was spread from one macaque to another, there may be something here it all depends on whether or not they'll find any fun in walking upright like they did in playing in water.
