Its been known for a long time, that people with flu, are prone to bacteria and secondary infections, e.g. when flu gets a completion of pneumonia via bacteria. The article didn't mention a mechanism for the weekening of the immune system, perphaps its just that its to busy with the
existing flu.
Thats interesting because my 13 year old nephew has just been diagnosed with Fungal Meningitis. He doesn't have any condition which might have suppressed his immune system but I suppose it is possible that a spore got lucky and infected him while he was down with flu.
I am running ubuntu on my 4G eeepc. I keep my personal files on an SD card because the internal storage is almost full. Every time I update the OS I look carefully at the extra space it will use to see if I can take the update. It is always touch and go. My guess is that ubuntu updates cost me about a megabyte a week.
I can't remember the name of it, but I read about an island somewhere off the coast of Africa. It's a giant chunk of rock that's split in such a way that its eventual collapse into the ocean is near certain. When it happens, the amount of water suddenly displaced could potentially cause a tsunami that we here on the East coast would definitely notice.
The US should put an instrument on that rock. When it stops transmitting, they have a couple of hours to evacuate the east coast of North America.
I've seen a lot of seedy stuff in my time, but this might just take the cake with respect to all-time industry lows.
How about drug companies treating thousands of doctors to a free night out in a posh restaurant every week for years, so that they can be informed about the latest products.
Pay some unmarried dude 20 million a year to live this shitty life in return for his services and, additionally, pay well some willing prostitues to be shipped in secret CIA planes to have fun with him secretly - call it "operation secret panties"
Sorry for replying again but I think that is exactly how Osama Bin Laden got the resources to start Al-Qaeda.
I am guessing that they could have recruited David Hicks pretty easily. He just wanted an adventure. They should have locked him up for a year and offered him a deal to work for the US and pin the location of Bin Laden. Risky but better than nothing.
You can get spring water out of the ground in Hepburn, which is a couple of hours drive from my home. A few people make it a regular thing to drive there an fill up bottles with spring water. I wonder if there is a bit of unconscious self medication going on there?
And maybe the real problem is that the body needs a certain amount of lithium to be stable, but some people need it more than other due to genetic predisposition.
Something to think about if we send people on long missions in space. Maybe drinking absolutely pure water from (say) a fuel cell is not such a good idea.
The idea that "scientists" are going to be spiking water supply with Li+, a freaking powerful mood stabilizing aka mood altering drug for the "Greater Good"?! My wildly successful but bipolar Boss took this stuff to deal with his manic lows, and it he would become a zombie. Everything he accomplished as a businessman he did BEFORE taking lithium. I would rather see funding and energy expended to reduce suicides without "stabilizing" the humanity into a calm herd.
I now want the government to stay away from my precious bodily fluids, though I didn't complain about flouride.
I have spent some time working at heavily secured government sites in South Korea. They check for cameras on the way in. I got caught once by accident. I got it back at the end of the day. But people I work with there all carry phones and all mobile phones in that country have cameras. They just don't use them on site.
So yes I believe that covering the camera with tape might be acceptable, stupid as that may seem.
Israel already tried that, but the Mexican officials took offense, so they changed it back.
Yes I read that but it makes little sense to me. A lot of people in Malaysia don't like pork either which is why you have to get it from a special part of the supermarket with big NON HALAL signs on it. Muslims don't refuse to admit that it exists, they just don't buy there. You'd think that a horrible disease associated with pork would just go to show how horrible pork is.
(yes, I know that Swine flu really has nothing to do with pork and I think the name should be changed in the name of accuracy.)

Compensating for lack of sex? Compensating for guilt over sex with little boys?
Can't be both!
Elon Musk should snap it up.
The atmel mega8 microcontroller can do preemptive multitasking. But different threads share the same address space, which is the real issue.

They should have a smaller, permanent flock of goats. And google should be getting paid to feed thew goats, not the other way around.
...two Jordanian soldiers were evacuated from [timor] with injured penises after attempting sexual intercourse with goats.

The real worry is that a computer virus will make the leap into the human population.
Well they already use humans as a medium of transmission.
I wouldn't be at all surprised.

This is an old boilerplate troll.

One story goes that the Washington Post leaked it, and terrorists read the newspapers too.
Or possibly slashdot.

Then I wonder why it is used to treat ADHD? I always assumed that people with that condition needed less stimulation.

Good thing my state is running out of water. I'm getting a Big Tank. I don't deny women my essence though. Not going that far.

Human body heat is only really good for base load power. Add storage to the mix and you have a way to deal with peak load. Sounds like a winner to me.
We will have to pay for remembering songs and movies, not just for watching them.
