You sound like one of the large number of Americans who also believe that the sun revolves around he earth, who don't believe in evolution, and other nonscientific beliefs. You can sustain any belief by only listening to the sources that corroborate it, and in a free society you can find support for *anything*. The main problem is that with the freedom of speech (only) in America there's also the apparent non-freedom (or un-PC-ness) to call BS what it is. That goes from global warming deniers all the way to Rush Limbaugh. Interestingly enough, it is generally limited to one corner of society.
With the severely limited number of people with known immunity to HIV, and the pain of removing bone marrow, I'm wondering if more than a mere handful of people can be treated via this method.
It says in TFA there is a 30% mortality for bone marrow transplants, so it will never be the therapy of choice. This case is just one more piece of data indicating that the CCR5 receptor is *the* Achilles heel that makes us vulnerable to HIV, so disabling it may be the cure.
because there's hardly any DNA left in those fossils, let alone anything that's not damaged beyond recognition. Mammoths, saber toothed cats or other species that have gone extinct more recently on the other hand...
Immigration laws aren't enforced because employers don't like it. Every time you read about a crackdown on an employer they scream how it'll destroy the economy if they can't find cheap labor. If there was any real will to reduce illegal immigration, there would be frequent checks and some hefty fines for employers. There aren't. So... the whole immigration story (building a fence etc.) is about politicians pandering to their sheeple.
Why should a health insurance turn a profit? Why isn't there a nonprofit health insurance, one that reinvests any surplus into their capital to reap interest and keep their rates low in the long term?
Nobody in their right mind disagrees that the Bible contains reports that are [partly] factual and moral rules that make sense as well as fantasy (e.g. Genesis) and really nasty stuff (e.g. Leviticus.)
*Nobody* lives strictly by the Bible and everybody picks and chooses. Anybody who says the Bible must be taken literally needs to start stoning adulterers to death.
It would be very cool if eMule had a (compliant) BT client and would transparently handle BT hashes, DHT and this newfangled search feature. I dislike the fact that there are several disjoint sets of files because the clients don't play nice with each other. Once a client hashes a complete file it should publish that eD2k hash X is the same as SHA1 Y in its DHT. Yeah, wishful thinking, I know. Shareaza was a good approach, just badly implemented.
No, it isn't science, it's philosophy and as such isn't a hoax.
It pretends to be science, so it pretends to be a hoax, which means it isn't really one, so it is true. Don't dare to dispute me, I remember my Mathematical Logic classes!
Let's see. First of all, evolution of course. That means that astronomy, nuclear physics, geology, paleontology and archaeology are wrong too, which (among others) invalidates Quantum Theory and General Relativity. Special Relativity may be correct since the Bible doesn't say anything about the speed of light.

I thought the Brits went metric a long time ago?
It's a nice stress test for your browser. I can remember the days when Firefox would crash trying to load such a JPG.

I agree, but that obviously depends on where in a time zone (east or west) you live.
I wrote a thesis paper with PRIMOS ED. Fun fun fun.
The macro handling sucked rocks though.
* leaves himself a note to get cygwin installed on the home system
How can I install that on Ubuntu?
VMware.
How else am I supposed to get anything done on Windows?
Why, Notepad and CMD of course.
Japan.
They have lots of experience with Godzilla already.

No matter how long I stare at a download bar, particularly a Bittorrent one, it always seems to take twice as long as it really does.
Why of course. It runs slower and will never finish while you look. You're collapsing the wavefunction.
But that's only 45 different products. How is Microsoft ever going to make a profit with so little product differentiation?
Per-node and per-app(let) monthly licensing is the way to go! That's how you make buck.
Suggestion for new /. poll. Who has installed Silverlight? (Silverlight required)
Only if there's a SilverlightBlock extension for Firefox.
I loved Bill Maher's comment. Something to the extent of "Barack Obama said he's a Christian. I hope he lied."

As long as eMule and eDonkey are OK I can tolerate that.
I'd much rather have my kid playing with titties and ass than 9mm pistols.
What an unamerican thing to say. Please report to your local NRA and FCC offices for re-education immediately.
Come on.

ROTFL. That was a good one.
It's probably based on 1st century physics.

Only nuclear reactors. RTGs deliver too little power. A Polywell would be nice if it woks.
