Cloning To Stop Extinction To Leatherback Turtles?
ktPatriot replied to Plenoptic's topic in General Discussion
Our cloning technology is not that mature. There exists hidden traps behind cloning. We do not know what we will create. What if those cloned turtles can swim so fast by fault that they eat all the fish in the ocean (remember, 47 years later, there will be no fish if we do not stop over-fishing)?Cloning can be a way but this should be the desperate move. As long as there are 1 male and 1 female, we should breed instead of clone. -
In my opinion, smoking is an anti-social activity. The one who invented smoking must be a devil. Smoking kills. Cancer is one of the most deadly killers, just below AIDS. Once you get cancer, it will take a long time for you to recover and by the time you've recovered, you would have your body weight halved.Smoking affects the health of others. You are indirectly killing someone else. You are killing your own children, if any.For those who have the mentality that "I will not be so 'lucky' to be the one who get cancer", change it right away. Just look at the statistics.Be wise, withdraw yourself from the march to doom.

Telemarketing Calls, How Do You Stop Them!?!
ktPatriot replied to birudagmawi's topic in General Discussion
Just block every single call except those from your close friends, family, your boss, your... But it would cost much work and for 1000% sure, you will miss some of them and those "some of them" call next time, they'll get blocked. According to the Parkinson's law, the worst case usually occurs... i.e. you forgot to add your boyfriend or girlfriend or boss to the list... -
Addictive Flash Games Online Flash games...
ktPatriot replied to varalu's topic in General Discussion
I really appreciate those game programmers who spend their private time developing flash games for everyone. I am a newbie game programmer myself and I find numerous problems during programming a game, ranging from graphics problems (I'm only working on 2D!) to real logic programming problem. I have actually reprogrammed my game twice.Flash game programming is especially difficult as the Flash Player is not a fast engine. Effective scripting is very important. Some flash games have cool graphics but they do not lag. Just can't give any bad comments. They're cool... -
Global Warming: Science And Politics Do Battle
ktPatriot replied to Wasted's topic in Health & Fitness
Well, seeing is believing, you know. But of course, I DO NOT deny global warming. The effect is not very obvious till recent years. Actually, there is an increasing number of people believing the effect of global warming and the disasters that will be brought about in tens of years. Old people won't witness that day, neither do mid-aged people. When today's young ones become mid-aged, they will pay the price.Reduce emission of greenhouse gases is indeed important, especially for America. A longer term method is certainly to develop renewable energy sources. If we can ever develop nuclear fusion successfully, Earth will be saved as the only product of nuclear fusion is helium, a harmless inert gas. I'm looking forward to seeing the day when power plants no longer emit sooty smoke but white steam only.
