  1. Today I learned (not for the first time) that having the latest experimental version of every piece of software is not always a good idea.
  2. Two decades ago they weren't looking.
  3. Really? "CimaVax EGF is a vaccine treatment being developed in Cuba for non small cell lung cancer. The vaccine targets a particular protein called epidermal growth factor (EGF)." And when did the US with all it's vast spending come up with anything close to this?
  4. The question you should be asking (of yourself) is: "If all these people who are far more intelligent and better educated than me say I am wrong, then why do I still insist I am right?" When you can answer that in a manner satisfactory to everyone, you may begin to actually learn something.
  5. Sounds more like Wild Man Fischer to me.
  6. Look at Heliograph on Wikipedia. "The record distance was established by a detachment of U.S. signal sergeants by the inter-operation of stations on Mount Ellen, Utah, and Mount Uncompahgre, Colorado, 183 miles (295 km) apart on September 17, 1894, with Signal Corps heliographs carrying mirrors only 8 inches square."
  7. Well, the OP seems to have disappeared back into the depths of whatever, so we might just as well bury it. (Shouldn't it be the middle of the night at the crossroads?)
  8. They are both at rest in their own frames - each is moving relative to the other's frame.
  9. "We're all colored, or you wouldn't be able to see anyone." Don Van Vliet (Captain Beefheart)
  10. Now I'm looking at an old desktop PC. It is black. I have never seen a human that colour either.
  11. No problem.
  12. I'm looking at a piece of writing paper. It is white. I have never seen a human that colour. Maybe this guy has lived under a flat stone all his life.
  13. After 2 minutes searching: From: http://www.aidsinfonet.org/fact_sheets/view/508 Herpes sores provide a way for HIV to get past the body’s immune defenses and make it easier to get HIV infection. A recent study found that people with HSV had three times the risk of becoming infected with HIV as people without HSV From: http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa0802556 Male circumcision significantly reduced the incidence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection among men in three clinical trials. We assessed the efficacy of male circumcision for the prevention of herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) and human papillomavirus (HPV) infections and syphilis in HIV-negative adolescent boys and men.
  14. When I tried to read the bible, I got to the rant about "He who pisseth against a wall" and just fell about laughing.
  15. If I remember rightly - it was quite a few years ago - the original research showed that herpes infection considerably increased the chances of getting HIV and that the incidence of herpes was directly related to lack of circumcision. (I could be completely wrong here - as I said, it was quite a while ago.)
  16. Benefits are 'slight'? https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/magazine/spr08circumcisionmap/
  17. Guaranteed content free.
  18. Fresh yoghurt only.
  19. Maybe, after 30 years in Africa, I've just got really good at spotting them.
  20. They don't. This is typical racist bullshit. Try reading about the 15th Century syphilis epidemic in Europe.
  21. To the tune of Lily Marlene: Underneath your asshole, When you do a dump. Stinking up the toilet, Yes, it's Donald Trump.
  22. I seem to remember a balance feedback algorithm being worked out many years ago using a stick pivoted on the carriage of a dot matrix printer. (Sometime in the late 80s if I remember rightly.)
  23. 'Bullshit' has already been used. So let's just say anyone who believes this junk should sue whatever school they went to that screwed up their education to the point where they can become victims of the scum who promote this kind of drivel. (And always for the great god Money.)
