'Anything' that can help is not necessarily welcome. Maybe it can cure the brain cancer. But who says it doesn't develop into a virus that ends up killing more people per year than the brain cancer was killing?
Well, that wouldn't really be helpful would it.:-) I would imagine that things like this are worked out through testing.
INAV, but I think a virus can only penetrate cells if there's a specific active "pathway" it can use. For example, the Reovirus uses an active Ras pathway and it seems that many types of cancer cells have this pathway, but normal cels do not. When the virus infects the cancer cell, it reprograms it to make more Reovirus and burst, thus destroying the original cancer programming.
As for the Reovirus, this is not a "manufactured" virus and 99% of the population is exposed to by about age 7, which, ironically, makes it hard to deliver into the body as the body already has an immune response for it - and why it's not already keeping us cancer-free naturally.
My wife died of the same type tumor tested in TFA, a Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM), just over two years ago - only seven weeks weeks after diagnosis.
I believe that 6,000 to 12,000 people are diagnosed with this every year and the death rate for GBM is 100% with an average LE of only 4 - 18 months with successful treatment. All joking aside, anything that can help is welcome.
"We injected the tumours directly with the virus," he said. "We were able to see tumour regression within three to four weeks. The regression appears to be complete and the mice are still living after five to six months.
The tumour tissue seems to have been completely eliminated. The next step is tests in human patients.
I've had a stretchable hand-held all my life. I'm sure it provides more enjoyment than a cell phone ever will. Now if I could just figure out how to set it on "vibrate"...
In addition to the normal mode of filtering out adult content, I hope the filters can be configured to only allow it as well. I recommend the filter modes be labeled "Suck" and "Blow" respectively.
It's worth noting that unlike the typical NewYorkCountryLawyer story gloating about how the RIAA lost some motion on some case somewhere, this is a potentially major development.
Thanks.
Don't fret Ray. Otter will probably need some legal help sooner-or-later. Then you can reply, "Otter who?"
Isn't this "making available" approach like trying to sue someone for simply having a stack of books piled up next to a public photocopier? I guess book publishers should try to sue libraries...
Chairman Bill Gates predicted computer users will increasing use voice-recognition technology and touch screens rather than keyboards. The software maker is betting big on that trend, Gates told a crowd at Carnegie Mellon Univ. In 5 years, he predicted, more Internet searches will be done through speech than through typing on a keyboard.
And much like real-life near-death experiences, it tends to suffuse me with a curiously zen-like feeling.
I'm not sure I can agree as I have few points for comparison, so a little research is in order. Let me get a warn bath going and a straight blade and I'll get back to you in a bit... #`%${%&`+'${`%& - NO CARRIER.
IBM for Patent Infringement because they give these gift cards out for free to customers that have to wait too long in line.
Chris Gregerson for Copyright Infringement because they used his photo, "People Receiving Gift Cards", on their websites without his permission or compensation.
You know, this same guy who wants to shoot you on the plane could just as easily shoot you:...
You're confused. Air travel security is NOT about protecting passengers. It's about protecting the airplane (expensive), the airline (big corporations), the perception of air travel in general (industry), and anything the airplane may crash onto (collateral damage). The people are of little consequence and the government cares little about you/us.

Ok, I got nothing after that.
Things didn't go so well the last time I tried this. My cellar trapdoor was sore for a week. The Internet is scary.
How many of us would load Vista even if it was free?
Despite recent events, I'm betting systems with this chip will have the "Vista Capable" logo. :-)
Shiny stickers sell systems!
Actually it's because, with the current economic decline, Sun can no longer afford to hire Perl programmers... :-)
Plus, Adam has that cool '60s (sl|h)acker look.
Or perhaps he's just a RMS wannabe.
Well, that wouldn't really be helpful would it. :-) I would imagine that things like this are worked out through testing.

I hear something like this happens with condoms too.
When they get older, they can get a real computer and learn Perl :-)

This is not the first virus found that can kill cancer. The "Reovirus" (commonly found in human respiratory and enteric tracts) also seems to work pretty well. See the following: Curing Cancer? Patrick Lee's Path to the Reovirus Treatment and Reovirus to target cancer
Please say there's film.
I'll wait for the torrent.

Ya. I'm a *nix admin (among other things). It was a joke. :-)
Hey baby. Want to kill all humans?

Someone should let Bill know about this.

Umm. How long do "movie schedules" actually stay relavent when offline?
It took data stored on the Internet and used it interchangeably with information on a PC's hard drive.
Wow, dude invents "caching", film @ 11.
Needs more time for beard maintenance. :-)
Cool, unless you'd like a little abuse instead of an argument :-)

At which time "Yahoo!" would be renamed "Yawho?" (or would that be "Yawhom?").
