Wait, "bypass the intellect"? WTF?!
The Atheist Experience: Why Are You Atheists Anti-Christian?
How the FUCK can you be so CHILDISH as to claim to be above religion and then spend all your atheist hours DISSING A DIETY THAT DOESN'T EVEN EXIST?!?!?!?!?!?!
Why don't they find something more important to worry about like philosophy and the meaning of life?
Why must atheists be inextricably bound to religious topics?
Because we're tired of people like you backing up your "beliefs" with yelling (as you've illustrated here) and ultimately violence. When people are conditioned to believe something that the know deep inside is ultimately not true, they seem to defend it by causing suffering of some kind to those that force them to confront the truth. We just want to be able to be free from Religious based legislation, scrutiny, and violence. This charade (all religions) has gone on long enough.

In reply to this comment by mentality:
Look, if you can't derive happiness from even two strains of cancer cells being selectively killed off, (without proof of it not working on others) I suspect there is little to derive happiness from. Let's be enthusiastic about this eh?
Look, it's not 2 "strains" of cancer. You don't "catch" these particular "strains" of cancer from someone else like you do with bacteria or viruses. Everyone's cancer is unique to that individual. It's unlikely that someone with breast cancer will have the SAME EXACT mutations as those that spawned the specific cell lines used in the experiment. Plus, No one knows how well these immortal cell lines, grown for generations in petri dishes, correlate with the original cancer in a person. And all they've done so far are some mouse experiments. It's still FAR away and a shitton of money and work required before it can work in people, maaybe. Don't hold your breath.
And again, if this was something to get enthusiastic about, it wouldn't be in the journal "Breast Cancer Research".
We all know that, my point is that there isn't anything inherently negative about these findings, so perhaps deriving a bit of short term happiness from the prospect may be more beneficial to one's overall mental picture. If you're trying to level-set the expectations of those viewing this video, I can say with a reasonable level of certainty that nobody thinks cancer is cured, or even impacted. That being said, I made that post on Sat, when I generally tend to be happier. Now that it's Monday this whole thing sucks. ;-D

Cancer Breakthrough. Believe It.
First of all, this has only worked on 2 breast cancer cell lines, meaning that it only works for the clones of the cells derived from 2 specific individuals, in an artificial laboratory setting. Will this work in people, and can it be adapted to the myriad of different mutations that cause breast cancer, nobody knows. The paper concludes that they have "outline[d] a new therapeutic approach", which means just that: they have taken the first baby steps towards something that might work, after many, many years and billions and billions of dollars of research..... maybe.
Anyways, nothing to get excited about. If this was a huge Nobel winning breakthrough, it wouldn't have been published in a journal as small as Breast Cancer Research.

To be fair, this was from the Mac OS 8 days. Things were pretty ugly in Macland back then. I think I would have actually gladly taken a WinME machine over a Mac with OS 8.

Uninstall that crap, and install Ubuntu or Linux. Pick your distro.
I use a Ubuntu Kernel.
By chance, are you a writer for CSI?
LoL, nice. :-D
Mac Geek - Dag finally comes to his senses
I'm operating system independent. Windows, however, is inferior to any operating system with a unix core. I don't care if it's HPUX, Ubuntu, or a modern Mac, it's got the Redmond boys topped.
Hopefully an anti mac bias hasn't impacted any investing decisions you may or may not have made. In other words... SCOREBOARD.
HPUX is superior to a modern Windows OS eh? That's quite a stretch. If you need to run cron jobs and shell scripts sure. Anything else and that statement is the same sort of generalization that makes me dislike most Mac users. (read: MOST and USERS, not ALL and OS)
