No, but the reality is that way too many of them do.

I work in the green energy industry now (and used to work in the oil industry). The "green" industry is far, far slimier (more corrupt)... Maybe this is because the oil industry evolved from the same people who ran the cattle industry, where a man's word was his bond and multi-million dollar deals were made on a handshake. Integrity was everything, and if you lost that, you simply weren't in the business anymore.

Government (and "free governemtn money") corrupts pretty much everything absolutely...

Hmm, you never watched Charlie's Angels or the Bionic Woman, did you? Can't think of anything more Armerican...

So, every one of those 650,000 people aren't drinking enough orange juice?

No, the reality is far, far worse than that - roughly *none* of the humans (or guinea pigs, oddly enough) currently living on this planet gets enough vitamin C.

All humans carry a genetic defect that cripples the mechanism nearly all other mammals use to synthesize vitamin C. I'm not in favor of genetic engineering of humans, but this is the thing that brings me closest to backing the concept.

A "homo sapiens ascorbicus" would be a real blast from the past...

Although it's little-known outside orthomolecular medicine circles (Linus Pauling and Albert Szent-Györgyi (the discoverer of the Vitamin C/Krebs cycle) were two prominent members of the orthomolecular medicine community), Dr. Fred Klenner successfully cured several many polio patients in the late '40s and early '50s, using megadoses of acsorbic acid (nominally the same as vitamin C). A good number of these were advanced enough that they should have died or at the very least been crippled for life by the disease.

Because Klenner was only a backwoods Southern doctor, his remarkable success was largely overlooked for many years. (He wrote his experiences up and had them published as an article titled ‘Virus Pneumonia and Its Treatment with Vitamin C’ in the Journal of Southern Medicine and Surgery . This was followed up by many other articles over the years, mostly on megavitamin therapy for a variety of diseases, including tuberculosis and multiple sclerosis.

Google for the details - you'll be amazed...

No, it's like how convicted pedophiles are not allowed to live or hang out near schools.

Obviously one has to draw a line somewhere, but comparing a computer to food is obviously not a rational comparison.

(And FYI, the analogy would be "People accused of lock picking are not allowed to have lockpicks". Which should be obvious.)

First off, £350 is probably not particularly out of line for the cost to process the records. If we were talking £350000 pounds, yeah, that would look like an attempt at censorship. But there's nothing pecular about £350. Secondly, if anyone in the media had felt it was even remotely newsworthy, they would have paid it. The media pays processing costs for records all the time. All that this means is that most news agencies consider Warg a non-story.

Warg's restrictions are special specifically because the crime his charged with is hacking. Banning a graphing calculator is probably overreach, but it's understandable why they'd want to keep him away from computers.

Sort of like the last leak, the "Kissinger Cables", that were publicly accessible data that journalists and historians have been making use of for years, which he downloaded, reformatted, and set on the Wikileaks site.

New slogan suggestion: Wikileaks: We Open Governments (by taking the data they've already released, running it through a couple python scripts, putting it on our site, and calling it something new)

And Firefly was a bit higher on the scale, while Max Headroom may actually have been the zenith...

No doubt, the 2009 Trek reboot was rollicking good action fun with a bit of insider snark thrown in. What I've never understood, though, is how Spock managed to turn out so differently - clearly the "new" Spock has little control over his emotions, and apparently, little desire to control them. It was always that tension that made the half-breed human more human than the real humans in some circumstances. And although the new Kirk is a bit over the top, he was always meant to be - Roddenberry intended him as an exaggerated Horatio Hornblower. (And, to the point of the reviewer, StarTrek was deliberately intended as a "space opera" twist on the "horse opera" genre - he pitched the show to network execs as ""Wagon Train" to the stars"...)

Although I enjoyed the original, the idea of the Spock/Uhura lustfest just doesn't work for me at all. (First of all, did Uhura happen to just fall into Spock's seventh year rutting season? We'll never know, apparently....)

  Anyway, it seems Spock's lust handily outstrips his logic, and we're left with the most improbably romance in history. (In the immortal words of the Trek take-off Galaxy Quest (which may well be the best "StarTrek" movie yet), "That's just *wrong*...)

The "science" behind this ridiculous "97% of all non-corrupt, progressive scientists agree" paper is even worse than the "science" arguing for AGW in the first place:

Note this excerpt from Anthony Wattts' blog on Cook's more-than-a-little-suspect claims:

(Emphasis added by /. poster)

I do a lot of technology development and R&D. That requires lots of research and lots of learning, sometimes over a considerable period of time.

Tabs provide something that bookmarks don't - most notably, more context and state. Think about it, just the order and placement of tabs conveys additional dimensions of information beyond what a simple bookmark would. I would ideally have these scattered across a desk sized, high-res display, but since those don't exist, I use a bunch of tabs.

Flipping back and forth and finding what you want becomes very easy with powertools like TabMixPlus - I use three rows of tabs, set to scroll - with a scrollwheel mouse, this makes finding the tab I want very quick and easy. This keeps the tabs from squashing down to nothing, but I never give up more than three rows of precious vertical space on my damned mail-slot HD widescreen display. This becomes even more useful when you set default behavior to open a new tab after the present one rather than at the end - this creates a sort of virtual piling system for tabs, so things that are related wind up being fairly close to each other. With TMP's excellent replacement for the Firefox native session manager, and a bit of custom tab color coding, it's really not hard to know what's where. None of this is necessary, but it saves me hours (and more importantly, lots of frustration) each week. It *does* mean, though, that you begin to get paranoid about losing your tab sessions, since there's a non-trivial amount of state info in them...

Now, admittedly, I may be a pathological case when it come to tabs, but I currently have two computers in from of me (one "work" computer, the other my personal laptop, used for my day job as as well as personal business, consulting, and my own product development) - On each computer, my main browser, Firefox, is open with more than 137 tabs and 122 tabs, respectively. Those are largely different tabs, although some, like work gmail are open on both for convenience. This setup is not for everyone, but it works extremely well for me. I almost hate to admit it, but one of the computers also has Chrome up with another several dozen tabs...

By the way, I'm not against bookmarks - in fact, somewhere, I have an email from a member of the Mozilla development team thinking me for helping them debug very large hierarchical bookmarks files (many thousands of bookmarks, which was really a lot back in the early 2000's...) I use the crap out of bookmarks, too, but tabs are a great way to hold all the "working on it" stuff until it finally gets done - Just this weekend, I closed out a project and killed off a few dozen tabs related to it - turns out I only needed to keep tttttwo or three actual bookmarks, but the other tabs all had information that was valuable and relevant as I was researching...

Oh, and to address the comments of a poster below, I do all this on Windows 7, and it's quite acceptably stable for this sort of thing. I will say, though that only Firefox is really stable at more than about 100-120 tabs, and even it starts to run out of steam somewhere between 150 and 200 tabs. Chrome fails or flakes for me right around 100 tabs. Oh, well...

Kinda thought facial tattoos were always applied to the face, regardless of maleness...

This is dismaying. Even if we found a bottle on the beach and wished every gun on the planet to be turned into kittens and cheese burgers, we will still have them appear, but now not out of predicable venues, but out of thin air as far as any system is concerned. Let's face it, bad people will have reached their weapon production zenith, while the rest of us flounder around in inept, corrupt politics.

This is only dismaying if you believe free citizens have no right to fashion weapons for their own defense. The printable gun, in a way, just takes us back to where we were a century or two ago - anyone with a little technical knowledge and patience can make a reasonably effective weapon. Civilization didn't fall back then - in fact, you could argue that it reached its zenith at exactly the time that weapons production became achievable by any sufficiently motivated group with moderate wherewithal. There's a reason that the first use of interchangeable parts was in the firearms industry, paving the way for the machine age at large.

BTW, I've got enough experience with 3D CAD/CAM and the fiddliness of various rapid prototyping methods to recognize that it's actually considerably easier to get hold of conventional machine shop tools like lathes, gun drills, and milling machines and make much more serious weapons than DD's plastic pistol.

(If you're not averse to breaking laws, then history is full of good model weapons - the German MP3008, was a 9mm submachine gun designed to be easily fabricated with minimal tooling and expertise. Note that for resistance purposes, even the most basic of firearms can give you a shot (literally) at a better-armed enemy, allowing you to then take his (far more effective) weapon: witness cheap (a few dollars!) single shot pistols like the Liberator or "Deer Gun"...)

I think this latest X-51 flight may have been longer than the sum of hypersonic burns on all tests thus far, but I may have overlooked some of the more recent ones.

Suffice it to say, a several-minute burn, with acceleration, is not a trivial accomplishment.

So what's your beef?
