Comment FYI: The truth is out there... (Score 1) 429

There was already a report saying this is more like "gambling" from the an important government site back in Sept 2007:

(You may want to use google translate to read: http://translate.google.com/translate_t?hl=en&sl=zh-CN&tl=en#)

The key points in this report are:

1. It's not yet proven
2. It's in a "gray area", new regulations are/were on the way to make sure only proven therapies can be used on human

Not sure what's going on later.

check out the tracker project: http://www.gnome.org/projects/tracker/

Tracker is a tool designed to extract information and metadata about your personal data so that it can be searched easily and quickly. By using Tracker, you no longer have to remember where you've left your files. To locate a file you only need to remember something about it, such as a word in the document or the artist of the song. This is because as well as searching for files in the traditional way, by name and location, Tracker searches files' contents and metadata.
It should be faster and more light weight :)
