Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it. Something in that article doesn't pass the sniff test.

"The potential new therapy involves injecting tiny particles of genetic code into the body which travel to the immune cells and teach them to recognise specific cancers."
Credit where it's due: I reached that second paragraph before I called Billshut.

I read the whole thing and the first thing I though of was "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."
I don't doubt it's possible. I want to see the results of testing trials before I start cheering for it.

"RNA nanoparticles encoding the reporter gene firefly luciferase were injected intravenously into mice to assess biodistribution of the Luc signal. Whereas injection of naked Luc-RNA did not generate a reporter signal, several of the carrier RNA formulations gave characteristic patterns of in vivo organ transfection, indicating protection and efficient translation of RNA"
Holy cr@p! they're not kidding!
And, Holy cr@p, neither were you about the dumbing-down!
Cancer be buggered. This could replace education!

Probably not in my lifetime, but I do believe a universal cure for cancer will eventually be found, and that RNA / DNA pioneers will be at the forefront of the discovery. Let's not put down what we don't understand.

Hell, if all we've got to go by is that garbage article from the OP, there's nothing to try to understand but the idiocy of people who try to write about things they know nothing about.

I was not referring to this article in particular. I just believe that a cure will be found eventually and that DNA technology will probably be at the core of the cure.

You do have the option to click through to the full paper but I guess that was beyond you.

yeah. Hopefully someone like Arstechnica will be able to do a good translation to English.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I have Photoshop CS and Lightroom 6 from Adobe and I had an update appear on my desktop and thought it would be for one of the above but instead it installed Creative Cloud (a subscription software) which I will NEVER purchase, it did this without any indication of what was being installed. And now when I try to uninstall it I'm told that it can't because of other applications that require it.
Adobe FOAD!

I had a similar experience. The only way I could get rid of Creative Cloud, was to re-image my systems drive with a recent image. Now I don't update Adobe any more!

I'll damn sure not take updates for granted anymore. Can't believe their shoving this crap down our throats...dirty freakin business!
I had to download a special uninstaller from, who else, Adobe to remove their POS software from my system.

MS and adobe are American corporations! You can trust them with your life!*

... in fact they're so sure about the quality of their software that they're willing to stake your life on it.

Thanks,

Running Windows 10.
Despite all the bad stuff I've heard about it I must admit it's not half bad
Beats Windows 8, but I still prefer Windows 7.
That's my opinion after a day of work.
The only issue I had was that everything was really very small and a bit blurry.
Nothing a quick google couldn't fix.
Apparently it was a setting that optimized use for mobile devices, but I'm working on two big monitors.
