The Usual method of death for us mere mortals is by heart attack or accidents involving cars. The doctors are people placed in direct physical contact with large amounts of contagion. They can choose their own profession of choice.

I can see reincarnation as a corporate model that allows people to take their money with them after they die. 1 Find a nearly dead client. 2 Give them a sample of healthy couples to choose from. 3 Create a trust fund for the baby to inherit everything minus a commission. 4 Using in vitro fertilization create the next body for them to inhabit. 5 Arrange a death scale to measure the 20 ounce drop in weight of the old soul leaving the body. 6 Measure the weight of the pregnant woman at the same time in the same room. If her weight increases then reincarnation has taken place.
  If the old soul cannot enter the new body then something about our understanding of the reincarnational process is flawed.

Instead of seeking to marry perfection many baby boomers will have the cheaper option of starting over fresh on their own terms.

If the wmap cold spot is an alternate universe then a tachyon beam might be able to break past dimensional barriers that exist between universes. If the other universe has two cold spots then a hub of data could be formed. Imagine the total output of every universes' data collections piped across dimensional barriers. The rate of data is limited by the phase data and the rotation of the beam. Multi-verse theory has proved correct. The downside is not knowing if anyone can survive in the other universe. The challenge is to detect FTL signals.

Comment We should allow for the reincarnation of authors.. (Score 1) 838

We should allow for the reincarnation of authors. If the Dali Lama can pull it off why not arrange for a pregnant woman to stay in the same room he commits suicide in. To preserve some cognitive data, EEG scans before death and after birth can be compared. We might have to wait for the first trimester to complete in order to determine the baby's gender. You have 50/50 odds of reincarnating as the opposite sex your next time around. It is too soon to create a replicant body for him. :-(

Comment Age discrimination is also a problem (Score 1) 433

Age discrimination is also a problem. What they don't tell college students is that the engineering degrees have an expiration date on them. The closer to retirement you get the less companies will even hire you. If you suffer a job loss in your late fifties your expensive degree isn't worth the paper it is printed on.

Comment What next an attack by the branch of the Salvation (Score 1) 744

What next an attack by the militant branch of the Salvation Army? Or are they trying to hate all hate evenly across the entire spectrum. These hate groups often start in points of isolation. The solution is increased broadband and internet addiction for their descendants. Egypt's current situation could not have happened as easily without the training that the Egyptian Army received from the United States. Remaining impartial and knowing your own limits is useful training that is obviously lacking in the hate speech movement.

What if we tie in the stop lights to a recommendation grid for driving just the right speed to get to the next light without having to stop. If everyone has access to the knowledge of what speed they'd need to drive there wouldn't be so much stopping and starting at intersections. If I knew what speed to drive on the interstate to get away from bad drivers and get to my destination safely then I don't see a problem with detouring around a trouble spot on the highway.
