POPSIs Azureus' Biggest Shortcoming Java? Absolutely! I'd love to run this, but... First I have to install some new version of Java, and deal with that... even their website sucks! And you just *know* when you're running a Java app... the windows look a bit funky, the buttons are different, the textboxes dont work in the same way regarding "tabs" and cursoring, etc... All in all - I avoid it like the plague.

POPSGene test could 'prevent' heart disease I believe genetic testing should be an option, not a requirement. That may be a good principle for adults, but the call is for testing to be done on 'at risk' children under 10. I'd be surprised if they could find anyone in the world that wasn't subject to some genetic risk or another. Still, a DNA Database is as good as a chip, or an ID card, and much better than a finger print...but I'm a cynic..or perhaps an optimist with experience.
