Not quite true, John. Many cancers are now curable. But we did need a new toy for the military, nu?
By the way... good to see I'm front row centre, while you're only at the back, right? It pays to have a cool avatar.
So John, am I to understand you as saying that the $400 billion+ annual military budget in this country (the one that puts us, a country that makes up about 1/20th. of the world's population, ahead of every other country combined in military spending), not to mention all of the scientific and engineering expertise used therein, could be better spent on things intended to cure diseases and generally help people rather than blowing them up?
When did you discover that you hate America?
Ummm, is that a trick question?
Ummm, is that a trick question?
So in other words, you not only hate America, but it's journalistic tradition of loaded trick questions?
Your level of non-citizen/resident anti-American traitordom is staggering.
John, be patient. For another quarter trillion they plan to shrink these beauties down a la Fantastic Voyage and send them in to take out cancer cells one on one.
Genetic Algorithms are useful tools in exploring the aerodynamics of transonic wing design, aspects of the flight envelop, and engine design, so it's not a complete waste. Plus they go real fast and fly upside down, to bad only 25 year olds get to play with them.
