what's your point? you think this technology won't advance to a point where it becomes an issue? now is the time to ask the important questions. |
and they were way, way off, and flying didn't become a reality for another 100 years.
if the scientist did this exercise to try to prove a point, he really proved nothing until that technology has some sort of widespread practicality. all i'm seeing is a guy who purposely locked himself out of his office by inserting a program to corrupt his little microchip keychain. let's look at the lead of the article- "a british scientist claims to have become the first human to be infected by a computer virus." it's misleading. he wasn't personally infected with a computer virus. he infected the chip, and then put it in his arm. it's like knowingly putting a defective car part in your car, and then when the car breaks down, going "LOOK! LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN CAR PARTS GO BAD!!!"
technology may and perhaps will advance to that point, but i would argue that with this particular case, it's too soon to tell what the future will hold, and that we shouldn't jump the gun and automatically assume that our future is going to be some sort of philip k. dick dystopia. |

you're equating raising important questions with 'automatically assume that our future is going to be some sort of philip k. dick dystopia'
strawman, man |

not sure if you've heard of Aaron Russo, but he says the future goal of the powers that be is a chip installed in everyone's hand. interview is on youtube. who told him this? A Rockefeller. You're gonna love technology much more someday. |
Aaron russo died a scared little boy, just like you will. |

"teh conspiracy theories" that i've apparently mentioned in this thread. Like the Womens Liberation movement being orchestrated.
And why are you being selective in what you reply to, getting boring. Just go look into what i've already mentioned, like the Aaron Russo (filmmaker) 1 hour 35 min interview. |
Kismet, never met a conspiracy theory he didn’t like.
You know nothing about feminism. |

Russo died of cancer after a 6 year battle...perhaps a labratory developed form. one of the world's leading vacinnes developers of this century admitted to finding cancer/AIDS viruses within vacinnes. i'm guessing they gave Cancer to Russo because he did'nt comply with joining the 'war on terror' gang, and he knew the truth straight from the horses mouth about 9/11 and the whole 'war on terror' bull.

there you go pointless monkey. straight the mouth of the world's most important and decorated vaccine developer of this century, Dr. Maurice Hillerman offers you a middle finger. |

| You’re right, who needs a medical journal & peer review when we have youtube! Thanks kismet, once again you’ve saved us from the bogeyman. |

| I like how if it comes from the government or from a peer reviewed journal it's clearly a lie, but if it comes in a video on youtube it's the absolute truth and only an idiot wouldn't believe it. |

weak + poor attempt and discrediting credibility. Are you guys grounded at all?

| quote: |
Maurice Ralph Hilleman (August 30, 1919 – April 11, 2005) was an American microbiologist who specialized in vaccinology and developed over three dozen vaccines, more than any other scientist. Of the fourteen vaccines routinely recommended in current vaccine schedules, he developed eight: those for measles, mumps, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, chickenpox, meningitis, pneumonia and Haemophilus influenzae bacteria.
Hilleman was an elected member of the US National Academy of Science, the Institute of Medicine, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the American Philosophical Society. In 1988 President Ronald Reagan presented him with the National Medal of Science, the nation's highest scientific honor. He received the Prince Mahidol Award from the King of Thailand for the advancement of public health, as well as a special lifetime achievement award from the World Health Organization, the Albert Lasker Award for Clinical Medical Research and the Sabin Gold Medal and Lifetime Achievement Awards.
In March 2005 the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine's Department of Pediatrics and The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, in collaboration with The Merck Company Foundation, announced the creation of The Maurice R. Hilleman Chair in Vaccinology.
Robert Gallo, co-discoverer of the virus that causes AIDS, once said "If I had to name a person who has done more for the benefit of human health, with less recognition than anyone else, it would be Maurice Hilleman. Maurice should be recognized as the most successful vaccinologist in history."[5]
After Hilleman's death Ralph Nader wrote, "Yet almost no one knew about him, saw him on television, or read about him in newspapers or magazines. His anonymity, in comparison with Madonna, Michael Jackson, Jose Canseco, or an assortment of grade B actors, tells something about our society's and media's concepts of celebrity; much less of the heroic."[9]
In 2007, Paul Offit published a biography of Hilleman, entitled Vaccinated: One Man's Quest to Defeat the World's Deadliest Diseases.[1]
On October 15, 2008, Merck named its Durham, North Carolina vaccine manufacturing facility in memory of Hilleman.[10] |
