Most 'arab' science (and a lot of hellenistic culture) came from the Persians. The Persians civilization had a very large reach.

One example of too-much-integration I have. My edge router (Deutsche Telekom, Germany, some Fritzbox variant) has integrated modem, WAP and switch. Despite the fact that my entire house is wired with CAT6 and I have a patch panel and rack in the cellar my WAP/Router/Switch box is physically constrained by the point the phone line comes into the house, and by the room's geometry. The problem is that, from there, the WiFi reception is very spotty in some places, most notably my favourite bench in the kitchen where I like to browse the days news on my iPad early in the morning with coffee before the kids wake up.

Since I can't split the devices I had to buy another WAP to get reasonable reception in the kitchen cause that is a major use-case for me.

The Expendables is hardly art and definitely not science

After 20 years in the business I find that very few people will leave sensitive documents open on their screens when they know you are going to be there so it seldomly happens.

A biocontainment ward in a hospital DOES have a special toilet, and they DO disinfect basically everything the whole time, up to incinerating things.

One of the prime reasons medical care is so expensive is that you can't re-use lots of things, you have to destroy them.

They haven't SEEN Ebola, they are actively developing a vaccine WITH Ebola. Which is good.

The US already is studying Ebola and Marburg in properly equipped research labs, and have been for many years. Where do you think the vaccine comes from? A lab in the Congo?

The fact that there are already Ebola Viruses in several labs in the US for research purposes and that nobody has died is not mentioned here but...hey this is /.

The really scary thing is that the Soviet Biopweapons program did exactly this with Marburg, a close cousin of Ebola.

Did you consider getting psychiatric treatment for your paranoia?

There was a Ebola epidemic in the US once. Right in the middle of Washington. No-one died.

"Exterrnalize bodily fluids". I like that. Like calling explosive bombs "Entropy Enhancing Devices"

> do not trust doctors and hospitals (for a good reason I think)\

Ehm, what good reasons do people have not to trust doctors and hospitals??!!

I lived in South Africa for many years and know a lot of doctors there. One of them said that lots of blacks die because they go to the doctors and hospitals too late because they do not trust them. By the time they arrive they are half dead already because of what the which doctors told them to do. Not very helpful.

And then their families do not trust the hospitals either because all their relatives die there!

That is like saying the Russians only have 1MT Warheads now as opposed to the 20MT monster bombs they deployed in the 80s.
I feel much safer now.

Do you think spending Federal Dollars on law enforcement to make sure you keep the stuff in your home from criminal gangs is a good idea? Because they are preventing you from profiting from your work too.
