Sit back and watch as the Slashdot comments devolve into a big spectacle about correlation and causation, with everyone pretty much agreeing yet arguing anyway.

You're basically asking "how can I buy and use an iPhone without dealing with any Apple software". It's ridiculous. Android is completely dominated by Google. You can try using Cyanogenmod or some other distribution but you're going to have a VERY hard time avoiding Google completely.

Just a guess but the article you're referencing probably has the weight wrong. Maybe they measured the weight of liquid or pills rather than actual testosterone. It just seems so far out to lunch it has to be wrong.

Nobody cares what the source of their mitochondria is. It would be like changing a family tree every time you had a kidney transplant, or a blood transfusion.

Would it have killed them to put an email address and maybe a phone number on the note?

The young idiots with too much money buy them. They stomp on the gas at a green light and it sounds like they're drag racing. I gently touch the gas on my car and easily out-accelerated them without making any significant noise. I'll bet they figure it out about two or three days after they buy the trucks that they really have no acceleration or speed to speak of but rather simply noise.

I'm going to get in trouble for only commenting on one post rather than commenting on all of them.

They're actually tubes, not cables.

We'd probably have records with twenty parallel grooves and reading heads with 40 or more needles.

Every time those scientists haul out the clock metaphor I lose a ton of respect for them.
