Journal Journal: You are invited to take a drink from the Firehose
"You are invited to take a drink from the Firehose"
Wow do I feel special! How is it that someone like me, a person with "Karma: Terrible" gets invited to drink from the divine spring that is the Firehose. I could use the water, I am fasting for Lent, and water helps with the hunger pains. Usually just one meal a day now!
No, not this Divin.

Submission + - link between religion and violence.
niloroth writes: This study finds a link between violence and scripture. "Even among our participants who were not religiously devout, exposure to God-sanctioned violence increased subsequent aggression. That the effect was found in such a sample may attest to the insidious power of exposure to literary scriptural violence." What does this say about fundamentalists of all religions, and for the atheists that responded in the same way? Does this mean that religious scripture should have a 18+ rating? Does this mean that a video game with a religious theme is the most dangerous thing in the world?

Comment Weve been here before DRM == marijuana tax act. (Score 1) 353
In the 60's timothy leary chalenged a law called the marihuana tax act http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marijuana_Tax_Act which basically stated that you had to break the law to exercise your rights. in a way DRM is like this you have to break the law in order to exercise your rights to copy. i am surprised that lwyers haven t used this case to set presedent and dismantle DRM. this is the real problem with drm and sonner or later someone will do what leary did and then it will be up to the government to change the law or eliminate it.

FDA Set To Approve Products from Cloned Cows 480
phantomlord writes "The FDA is currently set to allow beef and milk from cloned animals onto the market. Further, the products will likely not be branded as such and there is no way to know if we're currently consuming products from cloned animals." From the article: "Farmers and companies that have been growing cloned barnyard animals from single cells in anticipation of a lucrative market say cloning will bring consumers a level of consistency and quality impossible to attain with conventional breeding, making perfectly marbled beef and reliably lean and tasty pork the norm on grocery shelves. But groups opposed to the new technology, including a coalition of powerful food companies concerned that the public will reject Dolly-the-Lamb chops and clonal cream in their coffee, have not given up."
