Its 32% (provenge) vs. 23% placebo... But what of the other 45%? The side-effects don't sound good either, nor does it mention how long those last... Saw Palmetto (as well as other natural remedies) don't have any unpleasant side effects, and are proven to prevent prostate cancer. I swear, pharmaceutical corporations will do anything to make money these days, and the FDA is their bitch.

It extends life by 4 months, and they are calling it a vaccination? That's hardly a vaccination or a cure... Hell, the herb "saw palmetto" has a much greater success rate than that. But you don't hear about it, because it can't be patented and sold at really high prices.

Oh boy, Comcast must have gotten paid well by Norton to unleash that load of crap on their customers. For the clueless consumer who chooses either McAfee or Norton, here's a good analogy. Its like trying to decide between two big piles of shit, and making your decision based upon which one doesn't smell as bad. McAfee and Norton: They are both shit, and they both stink!

There are way better choices out there, but those companies don't waste billions on advertising every year, they actually put more money into development.

Hate to be a prick, but there's no "8 core" i7... I suspect you meant 8mb cache, or perhaps 8 processing threads?...

Windows 7 has a backup system similar to Time Machine...
As far as making it more fool proof and up to date, it could be pre-configured to make incremental backups on a separate partition of equal size, and just equip the computer with a larger hard drive. If they made such a method more user friendly, it would in turn save the computer manufacturer on support call time.

More like... "I'm coming to get you... Unless you get your ass down to your local Toyota dealership and buy a new Toyota Matrix. I better see a Matrix parked in front of your house within the next 5 days, or else! " ...

Seriously though, how exactly do they advertise Toyota (and in a positive way at that), with an advertising campaign designed like this one?

I was thinking that as well. Perhaps if they STARTED with LA to San Diego, and then expanded from there. Then at least the project can already start generating some return as they complete other sections. After all, driving from LA to San Diego can take a long time with all the traffic in LA. I'm sure a lot of people would enjoy an express alternative such as this.

Well then... How about a Slashdot mod category of "netkook" in addition to troll... But what would be the karmic offset and point difference for "netkook"? Afterall, a netkook could incite some meaningful debate, which can be a good thing, especially if their comment is backed by some legitimate research... But I suppose most netkooks do not have legitimate research to back their claims... Hmm, on second though, nevermind all that...

When it comes to Jack Thompson, I think he's a little of both. Afterall, he must enjoy the attention he gets for his wild claims and frivolous lawsuits, which is definitely trollish. Perhaps, "kooky troll"?

Thanks for posting that link Falcon. I guess I should have posted one as well, like this one from the Center For Food Safety.

So don't be calling me a troll allafin, without doing a bit of research yourself. I very much doubt that you are someone who has studied health and nutrition on a regular basis for the majority of your life. As far as food being living, well, you probably wouldn't understand the benefit of that either. Quite simply, living, raw foods tend to boost energy levels considerably more than cooked or dead foods, and contain more vitamins. Like that cow that you ate, if it was fresh and raw, would provide more energy and nutrients than dead and cooked. This is even more true of vegetation. Minerals tend to remain viable, regardless; thus I was referring more to vitamin and phytochemical content rather than minerals.

I do not agree with Mr. Levine's concerns, as far as what is mentioned in the article. However, directly irradiating foods through the methods used is most definitely harmful to the food.

Hey, I have a cousin named Noone, and its pronounced New-Knee you insensitive clod!

The problem with irradiating produce is that it destroys the nutrients in the produce. It also renders it non-living. Sure, it still looks the same, and that is the point they try to push in order to make this irradiation bs fly. But what is the point of eating fruits and veggies that are dead and devoid of nutrients? It would lead to mass malnutrition and many health problems over time (for those of us who actually do eat healthy and do not suffer from such health issues). Those who are susceptible to food borne illness (many of which actually come from factory farming of animals, not the produce itself), already have compromised immune systems, likely also due to lack of nutrition in the first place.

The alternative was already invented some time ago... Its called LSD. No glasses, batteries or any of that junk required; and everything looks 3D, even things that other people can't see!

Open Source Hookers, while they may be free, come with open sores...
