Comment Immortal Mice? (Score 1) 330

http://science.slashdot.org/story/10/11/29/0410239/aging-reversed-in-mice Not so long ago, Slashdot saw this story on how scientists were able to prevent the splicing of telomeres from chromosomes in mice in order to allow not only prevention of aging, but de-aging. The only problem was that these mice inevitably died from becoming riddled with cancerous tumors. So now that this development has occurred, are we one step closer to having mice that cannot die of natural causes?

I can't speak to whether or not Anonymous utilizes sophisticated hacking tactics, because I honestly don't know. I can say, however, that if they really are as simplistic as you want to say they are, then that suggests a real problem for the security of some rather important and powerful organizations/corporations. They have supposedly meddled with Bank of America, Sony, NATO, the CIA? If the security of these groups is flimsy enough to be upset by some simple guess work and child-like pranks, what does that really say? Again, I don't know enough about it to give an opinion. It just seems to me that if they really are responsible for the things they claim to be, then it is probably likely that they have some clue as to what they're doing.
