So what's the solution? I think its to research more so you can come up with a reliable, cheap way to differentiate between all the 4 below. preferably with minimal side effects "1. You find a cancer that will eventually kill you AND that particular cancer has a treatment that works better when started earlier. (True Positive result) 2. You don't find a cancer that you don't have. (True Negative result) 3. You find a cancer or something that looks like a cancer however it will grow so slowly or regress so it won't cause any harm, but then you don't really know which is which so you elect to be treated for same with some morbidity or mortality. (False Positive result) 4. You don't find the cancer that existed and goes off to knock you off just before you design the next iPad killer. (False negative result)." properly Identifying which tumors are slow growing and which patients are too late would solve a lot of problems. of course this is easier said than done

for producing large amounts of hydrogen from water, is it cheaper per ton of hydrogen compared to the sulfir-iodine cycle with a nuclear reactor supplying the heat? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur-iodine_cycle

A more practical justification for spaceflight is orbital solar power plants. due to the deep gravity well of the earth, its much easier and cheaper to send a rocket filled with construction materials from an asteroid or from the moon to an orbital solar construction site. And there's the possibility of using mass drivers to send material from moon to LEO with no expense except the cost of making the mass driver and solar panel. a lunar mining operation implies a lunar colony unless you can go full AI or telepresence its not easy and there are many details, but in principle it works

the most environmentally friendly way to treat any appliance is to reuse it. Many many carbon dioxide molecules were created and many many toxic chemicals were released into the environment to produce it. So just wipe it and sell it or donate it to some poor third world charity

i used to work with ICD-10 and from my experience I believe that it was indeed made by and for insurance companies. A system made for and by doctors and patients would make things EASIER instead of more time consuming and complicated

some creationist is gonna say "big bang theory discredited"

on a large scale is this more efficient than the sulfur iodine cycle with heat provided by a nuclear reactor? Even if it isn't, it would still be of some use as in decentralized hydrogen production centers

pandas have a carnivore's short digestive system so they spend the majority of the day eating. The gut bacteria make this just efficient enough for them to survive but its less efficient than a real herbivore's guts. But hey, it might be efficient enough for fuel production "However, the giant panda still has the digestive system of a carnivore, as well as carnivore-specific genes,[30] and thus derives little energy and little protein from consumption of bamboo. Its ability to digest cellulose is ascribed to the microbes in its gut.[31] The giant panda is a "highly specialized" animal with "unique adaptations", and has lived in bamboo forests for millions of years.[25] The average giant panda eats as much as 9 to 14 kg (20 to 30 pounds) of bamboo shoots a day. Because the giant panda consumes a diet low in nutrition, it is important for it to keep its digestive tract full.[22] The limited energy input imposed on it by its diet has affected the panda's behavior." - wikiepdia panda page

do the embryos live? any toxicity? do newborn mice still retain the transparency? how about if you wait till they become adults?

I bet like most advanced tech, militaries will be the first users, assuming it isnt a scam. US navy ships first then maybe tanks and army trucks. maybe remote bases

I'm no expert but AFAIK there are reactor designs that can ramp power output up and down fast, like the designs used in US nuclear submarines.

Some recent examples. Just cause 1 and saints row 2: Driving, specifically steering is EXTREMELY difficult just using the mouse and the WASD keys. Fallout 3 and divinity 2: only 8 hotkeys? We need MORE!!! I assume the limit at 8 is due to a console controller. the 4 cardinal directions and the 4 diagonals make 8 Lost planet: very unusual control scheme for some of the functions and even the menus Dead space 1: cannot skip EA logo at game start. Cannot save anywhere, only at save points. Very slow to turn the view/turn your character around, bad if being attacked from behind Modern warfare 2: very linear level design

Its really simple. People are stupid in analyzing risk. They tend to underplay risk that is common or that they control and exagerrate risk that is out of their control or is unusual. If eating say garlic hamburgers gave you a 10% risk of death by heart attack, they wont bat an eye. But if there was a 1% chance of death from vampires, then they would gladly eat garlic hamburgers. Death by vampiric attack is more attention getting than heart attack. Is nuclear power risky? yes but the consequences are arguably less severe than global warming + peak oil. However people still irrationally fear nuclear power more since the dangers of nuclear power are more attention getting and unusual This is thinking irraitonally.

I'm an Asian and in some parts of Asia it is traditional (why doubt the wisdom of the ancients?) for meat to be used not as a meal, but as flavoring and added nutrition. Plant matter like rice makes up the majority of calories. A common meal in poorer areas would be a plateful of rice and a few native sausages or a few small fish and maybe a few vegetables. An analogy would be instead of a steak with a side of mashed potatoes like western diets, you would have an equivalent caloric amount of mashed potatoes flavored with bits of chopped up steak (although I think bacon bits would be tastier). Microcarnivorism seems to be a reasonable compromise. I think more people would be willing to adopt a microcarnivore diet rather than go full vegetarian. If you properly choose the formulation of the diet, it gives you most of the health benefits of a vegetarian diet and the addition of small amounts of meat solves the flavor/meat craving problem as well as avoiding most of the nutritional deficiencies which a vegetarian diet puts you in danger of (unless you are careful). Microcarnivorism has most of the environmental benefits of vegetarianism like more calories per square kilometer of agricultural land. Even if the environmental benefits are less than full vegetarianism, the larger number of adoptees makes the impact bigger. BTW, i dont think "microcarnivorism" is an accepted term, but i'll accept the credit for inventing it.

try software like netpersec or dumeter. although this will only work if every PC on the network uses it religiously. also works if you have no router
