I realize a lot of people don’t like to read.
So I will repost this for you and make it easy for you.

And the one time he stumbled in to something interesting with the case against Water Memory he created a perfectly blind study without taking in the error factor.
Then did not follow up to find out why the two studies differed and were both repeatable getting the same data along the two different testing technics.

Funny I never thought the use of dousing would work with my scripts, or software/hardware issues.
That is being a Computer engineer and all.

Why yes I do and there are way too many to jot down here.
Just check everything out he does claiming to be a skeptic.
All he does is recreate an event or phenomena and then make an unsubstantiated claim that it was done that way without actually proving it was done that way. (Sorry I want the smoking gun)
All he does is cause doubt and never follows up to prove his point.

So think of him as a guy that creates a device on paper that looks like it would logically work, and then sells it to people without ever knowing if it will really work or not. (A coder that never tests his code)
It might work and then again it might not, but when he is done it is no longer his problem and proclaims himself a genius based on his half completed work.

Then again “skeptics” thought the earth was flat because maps were flat and that is all the proof they needed.
That is why I consider skeptics to be just another type of religious zealot.
Because in science you should have both an open curious mind and a skeptical questioning mind too.

I am sorry but the amazing Randi is just another Con Man Media Whore looking for a paycheck.
Let’s face it he has never really disproved a thing, or even followed up his own research that he started.
Now if he ever followed up anything he started that would really be amazing!

I have to agree
All you should have is a joint checking account for house hold bills, and maybe a joint savings account for vacations.
There is no need to combine everything in a long term relationship unfortunately I learned the hard way after two marriages and two divorces.
Currently I have no joint accounts with my current girlfriend/partner/house mate of 9 years.

As far as the computers go, yours is yours, and hers is hers, and she should be able to have copies of any of her data on your servers.

Let us count the ways of epic failure:
1. Follows enemy combatants instead of friendly soldiers
2. Takes orders from enemy combatants.
3. Makes enough noise to be heard at least a klick away.
4. Runs out of fuel.
The only thing this has over a mule or horse is that it can be deployed on a jump.

Well I would think that Google stock holders would be more concerned that Google does not pay out stock dividends. As far as long term value you can’t beat holding a lot of patents in your corporate portfolio. Also I can think of worse things to spend all their cash on.

Global warming is real.
But there is a lot of arguing about everything that affects it.

Let’s start with the WSJ article which is pretty much a reprint of the same arguments in the 90's.
In the 90's a lot of people with PHD's came out and sited bogus data, and bad assumptions to outline their argument that global warming was a hoax.
A lot of the PHD’s in question did not have any experience in the discipline necessary to come to an educated conclusion.
In fact if I remember correctly the majority of the people with PHD’s were geologists dependent on Oil and natural gas companies for funding.
This was exposed for the crap that it was in the early 2000's.
Now it is back again and it is still crap, and not real science.
And guess what kiddies the WSJ is not a scientific journal.

Now let’s look at the real science behind global warming.
Global warming is caused by many factors but the 2 main factors are: Greenhouse gasses, and solar changes in our sun.
Trying to predict this is still tough because we still don’t have all the data necessary to pin it all down.
So there are still some anomaly’s with the models we use.
What we do know is we can't really do much about the sun at this time, but we can reduce our CO2 output and possibly other greenhouse gasses as well.
There are also natural processes on the earth that produce greenhouse gasses that we can’t at this time control.
But reducing the industrial greenhouse gasses we output is something we can and really should do.

I am sorry but my last job that was not true.
In fact the telecommuters were more visible because they were uninvolved in the corporate politics.
So they were never precieved as a threat, and when the layoffs started they all kept their jobs.

In a word: flexibility!

I have to agree here.
The NASA Space program has always suffered from having champagne tastes and a beer budget.
Compile that with design changes forced on them by the DOD, NSA, CIA, and congress and it is a wonder how NASA gets anything done.

A good example is in the 90’s when we had 2 competing programs for replacing the shuttle.
NASA chose wisely for science and moving us forward and poorly for congressional budget constraints.
(The Lockheed Martin X-33 VentureStar vs The McDonnell Douglas DC-X, Delta Clipper)
Now almost 15 years later all we got is a third shuttle replacement program killed off.
So yes love or hate Obama he is trying to move NASA forward with what little budget congress will approve for them.

And we all know who picked up the clipper ball after NASA dropped it.

Sorry I just have to respond to this.
First the headline has nothing to do with the story.
The story is about dementia and Alzheimer's disease and not Ginkgo Doesn't Improve Memory Or Cognitive Skills.
Also the science of this study is just really bad and ignores what science has been done on Ginkgo Biloba’s affect on the body.
So what do we know about its effects?
It increases blood flow in small blood vessels, and the extremities, and in conjunction with other herbs has been used to help reduce blood pressure. (For centuries)
It has the curious effect of countering the negative effects of too much caffeine.
It also helps with blood flow to the brain, and can be used to help with mild cases of ADD. (Not HDAD)
I myself take it for my mild ADD and it does help me to focus.

Since Dementia and Alzheimer’s are cellular degeneration diseases and not related to blood flow in the brain I am not surprised it was not found to be helpful.
This is an obvious case of researchers not doing their home work before requesting funding for their study.
It never fails to amazes me what studies get funding, while other studies doing real science get left behind.
Big surprise aspirin is also not helpful in the treatment of these diseases either.
But aspirin and ginkgo do share the same affect of helping with blood flow in the body.

So let me quickly address the headline.
Does Ginko’s affect on the body effect memory or cognitive skills.
Most likely no, unless you are adding large doses of caffeine on sleep deprived subjects.
Or you are trying to counter poor blood flow in the brain.

And most likely it is already used in pharmaceutical company’s compounds.
Pharmaceutical company’s have DOD class security surrounding their products, manufacturing, and IP.
