Doubling block size every 2 years is cancer.

A closer match to SV40

A medical doctor who never understood the exponential function. On the Nth day the Lily pads covered 50% of the pond, so Cypherdoc proclaimed we had time to cut back, then we woke up and the pond was smothered. WTF? The exponential function.

You trying to say cypherdoc is a medical doctor? No fuckin way!

I was going to try to dig up the famous quote about the exponential function then it turns out it is front and center on the vid.

An interesting point that the vid mentioned was that things which display exponential growth for a while do not always retain it. Oil was an example used. I would postulate that bandwidth may also be one of these, and mostly associated with market demand. Even back when I had options for high-speed internet I didn't even bother to upgrade. What I had was suitable for my needs. How much is the true need for being able to get HD movies at a rate 10x faster than they can be watched? How much do people really need to have high definition be so high that it exceeds the capabilities of the human eye? Yes it might be the case that people plug in to 3D virtual realities and what-not and that they could require exponentially more bandwidth, but realistically how fast is that going to happen?

On a different topic...I don't recall if you said you had MS or ALS. In either case, I do recommend the following information if you've not run across it already. Garth Nicolson: weaponized mycoplasmas - snowshoe films.

This Nicolson guy gives every indication of being for real and knowing his shit. I seeked around for some other material to verify this and did so successfully.

I personally am a gulf war I vet and I can tell you we got a ton of shots. I never felt that they did me any harm and for a long time I wrote off the complaints as being from whiners. Now not so much.

Until I saw the guys presentation I was not even aware of the organisms known as mycoplasmas and I pride myself on being aware of such things. Just from a science point of view the presentation is quite interesting. A decent way to kill an hour.
