I just love this Streisand Effect. It means that no one can ever act anything wrong bad done to them, because people will notice. I think it's bullshit. Yes, the effect is real, but just because it is, it doesn't mean the Government (for example) shouldn't act against an employee violating his work terms.
Wood is matter. Does wood react to magnetic fields? Just because the body is made from matter, does not mean that anything can affect it.
Just to be clear, I do not say that magnetic fields do not affect the ear, I'm just saying that the fact that the body is matter does not mean it automatically does.
Actually, there is no problem in taking some person's bone marrow (or rather, bone marrow progenitor cells), save them and return it to him after the treatment is over; this is the basis for bone marrow transplantation. The problem is choosing between transplanting the person's own bone marrow or another person's. In the former case, you run the risk of having cancer cells hiding in the bone marrow and having a recurrence of the disease; in the later, you have to deal with using immuncompromising medications for the rest of the life. Either way, it's a hard treatment with large mortality and is reserved for severe cases of Leukemia.
A webOS phone would have aborted the flight soon after take-off.
Yes, because if he did not watch this video, his might accidently get the chance to fuck a beauty queen. Yeah, right!
You spent 2 minutes on this slideshow??? You should practice your speedclicking skills, ASAP.
On a related note, here is a WebOS user who came home to find his house broken into and all his tech stuff stolen. He now relates how he gets by with only a HP TouchPad. Some of the points you raised are addressed by him from a user's perspective.
Talk about cherry-picking your data. Don't get me wrong, I also think that using Windows with IE (esp. 6) is a recipe for zombifying your computer. Nevertheless, did you see if other top-malware cities have a MS monoculture? And are there any cities with MS monoculture who are not top malware origins? And after all that, you are still in the correlation!=causation domain, although you will then at least have a valid working hypothesis.
So we are actually in a meta-debate, although I wouldn't argue about such a minor detail...
Some of us are in the same tax bracket as B. Gates, you insensitive clod!
I think you misunderstood the quote:
As for cancer risk, 1 million people flying 10 times a week will have 4 additional cases of cancer (using current models of radiation-cancer association). This is compared to the 600 cases of cancer they will get from the flight itself and to the 400,00 cases these people will have over their lifetime.
This means that for every 1 million people who fly 10 times a week, there will be 4 cases of cancer during their entire lifetime, not each week. This is compared to 600 cases they get from the radiation they are exposed to during flying and the 400,000 background lifetime risk (the average lifetime risk for cancer is ~40%).
Again, whether this 4 cases are worth it is a different question, but assuming the devices work as planned and are not delivering more radiation than they are supposed to, the additional cancer cases are pretty negligible (remember, those cases are for people that are flying a lot).
Solutions are obvious if one only has the optical power to observe them over the horizon. -- K.A. Arsdall
