    I think it's more than hiding youthful indiscretions. It's about not having every click, every site visited and product purchased being tracked. It's about privacy. Facebook tracks everything and stores it. So beyond deleting your profile, it's about stop tracking everyone move people make without their consent.

    Thank you. This is about profit and liability nothing more. Facebook's ability to profit from your property and limit their liability from profiting from your property.

    Since when do corporations have more rights than people. Flip it another way: if corporation A's information ended up in the hands of corporation B after corporation A purged said information, you know that that corporation A would be going after corporation B. You would not claim free speech. You (Rosen) would claim violation of property, not free speech violation.

    You don't work for a corporation where safety is first. You do not understand what process safety is. No one was pushing the boundaries of space by pushing O rings beyond their safety limits. This was a preventable accident. Your specious arguments don't prove otherwise.

    Are you an utter moron or do you like to ignore the facts. The engineers stated the facts for the problem which had been known for over a year. Physicist Richard Feynman who investigated the accident gave a very simple example of how O rings could fail in cold temperatures.

    When lives are at stake, you err on the side of caution.

    You are a complete douche bag. These accidents could have been prevented. These lives could have been saved. When an engineer tells you that you have a problem and that lives are at risk it is your responsibility to stop. It's called process safety. Any corporation that has a safety culture understands that. Safety first.

    NASA has demonstrated an utter lack for safety.

    You have demonstrated an utter lack of knowledge on the subject.

    You didn't read the article:

    "The lame excuse offered by the university was that a student had created a petition and was using the change.org site to "spam" other ASU accounts; of course, even if that had been the real reason, it would have easily been possible for ASU to block mail from the change.org servers, without blocking all students from accessing the website."

    The so called spam was email sent to students from a petition not a spam bot. As the author indicated you can block it via email you don't have to block the actual site.

    The securitization of mortgages was un-regulated. This unregulated derivatives market feed the desire to underwrite more and more mortgages. This was the crux the problem. Freddy and Fannie were small players and had nothing to do with banks underwriting mortgages that were crap so they could sell them as derivatives.

    Mortgages are not heavily regulated as evidenced by the lax underwriting standards banks engaged in.

    Don't ignore the facts: Wall Street created this mess and Wall Street writes the regulations.

    "Regulation doesn't fix this stuff. It's been shown politicians can't keep their fingers off it and love to tweak the system for personal gain. And they did, and we ended up with the toxic assets disaster for their efforts."

    Bull Shit! Lobbyists are the ones who tweak the regulations not the politicians. Politicians just rubber stamp legislation handed to them from lobbyists.

    The toxic asset fiasco was the doing of an UNREGULATED derivatives market. Wall Street got what they wanted, no regulations and we the American tax payer got saddled with the losses.

    No, it's that stem cells are being used as a treatment. From the article:

    "Stem cells, like other medical products that are intended to treat, cure or prevent disease, generally require FDA approval before they can be marketed. At this time, there are no licensed stem cell treatments."

    There is nothing wrong with FDA's actions. If anything it will save lives by preventing people from being but to risk by engaging in unapproved treatments.

    Human physiology is an extremely complex system. A new drug must hit a tiny target in a sea of very similar targets. If the author has a better system to understand the world than the scientific method, let him propose it.

    Great comment! It think what the article truly shows is how pharmaceutical corporations make unsound business decisions. A CEO making bold claims before all the research is done is jumping the gun. He was pumping the company's stock for investors. That's all. This was no failure of research.

    The point is more research needs to be done. You add to the knowledge that you had yesterday. As Newtons said himself, "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants."

    That is not a failure of science, that is science.
