Medical Science expands knowledge of cancer to include 'cancer stem cells'
posted by nnnnn at 2006-08-07 12:03

nnnnn: theory explains why often a cancer resurfaces even when the tumor has been apparently destroyed
nnnnn: and in turn, may provide much improved cancer treatments, if the causitive stem cell(s) can be targetted rather than the derivitive tumour cells
nnnnn: since the number of stem cells is very small, the required dosage may be much less, if it can be targetted to the actual causitive stem cell(s)

nnnnn: "More than 900 Lebanese, most of them civilians, have been killed in the conflict, the Lebanese government says. More than 90 Israelis, most of them soldiers, have also been killed."
nnnnn: This represent value for money to US taxpayers who subsidise Israely military to the tune of $2.2 billion in 2004?
nnnnn: do remember to vote, darlings
nnnnn: nice to have so much democracy you can actually export some</sarcasm>

Vista's Virgin Networking Stack
posted by nnnnn at 2006-08-07 10:33

nnnnn: just when they'd finally solved most of their networking problems by lifting BSDs network stack (like anyone else sane does)
nnnnn: re the india thing, someone asks who invented FORTRAN? (an american presumably) Who invented fricking zero, mang?
nnnnn: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
nnnnn: well apparently the BSD stack went from windows long ago .. . oh well.
nnnnn: "Windows Vista doesn't have a 'virgin stack'; it uses the same stack from Windows 2003, with problem and security prone parts completely replaced" oh forget i even linked the story. but the fortran vs zero thing is funny still.
seti: Speaking of Vista, Joanna was at it again at BlackHat
nnnnn: how can you fail to hack when you have the last name rutkowska?
nnnnn: "I just hit accept," Rutkowska replied to a question from the audience about how she bypassed UAC. Because of the many security pop-ups in Windows, many users will do the same without realizing what they are allowing, she said.
nnnnn: Gibson seems pretty sure the stack is new, not the win2k3 stack at all
seti: I, on the other hand, am pretty sure that Gibson is a twit
Oliver: I'll agree on the principle, but the word is "twat", k-thx.

seti: Cameroon cybersquatting .com - only fair after the rest of the world often squatted their country in the past centuries
nnnnn: i say give them the real .com sites too ;)
nnnnn: it'd be a heck of an improvement

AOL search data

nnnnn: (439Mb)
nnnnn: this will be completely invalid in oooo 5 seconds from now ;) see http://plentyoffish.wordpress.com/2006/08/06/aol-releases-googles-most-prized-keyword-list-google-is-gonna-get-mega-spammed/
nnnnn: /me prods heisenberg
lolita: prize for anyone who's nick comes up in the top 100
nnnnn: supposedly "AOL search is just google search rebranded"?
nnnnn: "searches for names of specific people, addresses, telephone numbers, illegal drugs, and more. There is no question that law enforcement, employers, or friends could figure out who some of these people are."
nnnnn: rule one for the new millenium: never, evar put queries that could remotely ever id someone, into search engines
nnnnn: this is certainly a different meaning to 'aggregate data' than most people envisioned i think
nnnnn: <AOL/Google> Uh, we meant we aggregate all the data on YOU ..
nnnnn: "AOL is not the author of this data". yeah? then who the fuck is?
nnnnn: if i record sounds of you going to the toilet thirteen days in a row then edit them together and release it, i think that makes me the author. this is the same
