I know. my father is her nephew and he still has occasional contact with that doctor. We even knew about this news a month ago, but he asked us to keep it quiet till he presented it.
She donated her body already at the age of 80-85. To be talking in/. terms, she open sourced her body. She gave it to science or in her words "Let students and doctors cut me into little pieces and let those youngsters find out why I became this old." She had yearly meetings with the doctor who told her the whole procedure of what would happen when she died. That was also the reason some nurse was with her, so when the moment came, they would not loose any valuable time.
This is not disrespectful. This was her wish for more then 20 years.
The reason she is "anonymous" is because some idiots were claiming to be speaking of her behalf and said that a doctor could not bring out personal information regardless of the fact that this was the specific demand of the patient. Let the knowledge be spread. And knowing her, that would include her name as well.
As her closest family (my dad, born 1930 and still healthy) and myself are living in other countries, we did not know of this trouble. Otherwise at least I would have intervened.
I also like to donate my blood (or just DNA if it is a nice looking nurse) for the same research, but I am afraid it might end up with some sort of Monsanto. Scary that I am afraid of a company stealing my DNA when I want to give it to science.

Yeah. It will extinguish itself, just like spam does not exist anymore. Or like the music industry. In the first there are enough suckers to keep using it. In the second they change the laws AND enough users keep using it.
It is a nice explanation of how capitalism should work, but just like communism, it only works in theory, not in the real world.
Take it one step further. Do you like scary movies? Then you must be some lunatic mass murderer and must receive the death penalty. I would say that everybody who ever enjoyed a horror movie should be shot as they are a danger to society. Next will be the people who ever laughed at a racist joke.
I read the conditions of my loan to the Corleone family. That does not make it right or legit. That is what the law is for: if there are unreasonable things happening, the law should clear things up.
Unfortunately in many countries, the law tends to side with the companies and not the general population.
I had an account for some weeks. I did NOT comply to their demand of using my own name. I try to keep my real life name off the Internet almost from the beginning.
The reason was privacy. Do I have something to hide? You bet I do. It is called my personal life and it is MINE.
And if Facebook does not want to give out the personal information they have as required by law, well then delete that data and don't accept anybody from Europe.
The biggest hint something was seriously wrong with it was the fact that you needed to give your real name. A few years ago we did some silly test. We saw some persons name and we made a bet who had this strangers on the phone first with only information from the Internet. This was before Facebook or even Google. It was so much easier then we thought, it wasn't even a challenge. One girl we saw contacted one of us with YahooPager to chat and it took us 10 minutes when the following words were typed: Your phone will ring now!
And this was just some goofy guys fooling around. We had no system. We had no knowledge and we had no own database with links between people. We just knew how to use the search engines of that time.
You must be the 1% if you can only believe in goals you can measure. That might be important short term. Long term it isn't.
What this could be is a feeding ground that will have some goal and direction. Perhaps it will burn out. Perhaps it will be the birthplace of a third big party and then a multi party system.
The fact that there IS movement is good enough for me. Sure it lacks goal and focus. It is better then to sit and wait for something to happen.
That is the reason why I always sat in right front of the teacher. They are trained by experience to look in the back and would not get the idea that somebody in front would do anything they would not expect.
Almost automagically you are labeled 'a good and nice person' when you sit in front. This worked amazingly well and I figured it out at the age of around 11.
The perception is that you get less surveillance, but that is counter productive as teachers will know that is where the troublemakers are. Most of the time the teacher would be 1/3rd into the classroom and looking to the back, thus not seeing what the people in front (me) where doing. No need to watch those 'nice' people, right?
Later I cheated with books on my desk and they did not even notice it. Those where the first lessons in social engineering. Worked with the majority of teachers, but not all.
However, there is one problem that crops up... what if the folder you think the e-mail is in, is not where it actually is. What if the e-mail from John about Vacation isn't in the folder 'John' but in the folder 'Vacation'?
For that reason I sort mails by people, groups or departments. People will be mails I MUST follow up, like from my boss. Groups will be people that I work often with and then departments.
Where I am now I do not get much external mails, otherwise I would sort them as a separate group. So it is all sorted by sender as most of the time I or somebody else knows who send the mail.
I do not mix work and personal mail.
And then once every few months I will put everything older then 6 months in one backup folder. For my mailboxes at home I delete older mails.
I can confirm this. I am in Belgium and am directed to http://depiraatbaai.be./ So just a bit of patience for the DNS servers to be updated and all will be well.
All this has encouraged me to start using my own DNS. I know I could use Google, but why give them even more information then they already get.
Not only does the school AND the creators retain the rights to use the product, but so would anybody else. Other schools can then benefit and you can benefit from their input. As an added bonus, nobody will be able to take away your rights to use it.
Unless your core business is selling software (not software related business) it should be the only option.

Yes. That is how new things are invented and made.
You mean like "If you are not with us, you are with the terrorists" kind of stuff.
I agree completely. Very bad idea.
Take it one step further. Do you like scary movies? Then you must be some lunatic mass murderer and must receive the death penalty.
I would say that everybody who ever enjoyed a horror movie should be shot as they are a danger to society.
Next will be the people who ever laughed at a racist joke.
That would depend. He was very clear about the intentions. He gave back my TV and he clearly made his point. So I would be thank full.
I have had neighbors who saw that I forgot to lock my bike, took that bike and put it in their garage and then left a not to tell they took the bike.
Should I be sueing them for theft or thanking them from keeping my bike safe? I somehow tend to go with the second one and that is what I did.
This would be a bad idea for the US military as everybody else in the world is better at soccer.
The public could protest, but they get their daily doses of fast food and tv

I am confused. Must I read this in the voiceover of trainspotting or in the voice of Tyler Durden?
Anyway. Spot on.
It already does so in every other country anyway, so why limit themselves to one planet?
I am not paranoid. I know that I am being followed.
With the abuse that the word hero has gotten the past few years all REAL heroes are already been shat on.
See that? FU HAL. FU and your stupid daisies.

Start by using the chip on your credit cards like we do in Europe and not the magnetic strip. Would be a good start already.
For that reason I sort mails by people, groups or departments.

Or maybe it isn't OR/OR but they do both at the same time.
Does that imply that people that were voted would do a better job? I have my doubts.
I can confirm this. I am in Belgium and am directed to http://depiraatbaai.be./ So just a bit of patience for the DNS servers to be updated and all will be well.

I raise your management with the parents and the general public.
As long as they keep voting for fake safety, do not take any responsibility and let it all happen, it is going to get worse.
