- FOcast, on 06/29/2009, -12/+329Sunday, June 28th 2009. Digg cures cancer.
Again. - lanzemurdok, on 06/29/2009, -9/+104BREAKING NEWS: CANCER CURE FOUND.
then we all forget about it until 2 months later,
THIS JUST IN, I KNOW WE SAID THAT WE FOUND THE CURE FOR CANCER 2 MONTHS AGO, BUT THIS TIME WE REEEALLY FOUND THE CURE. - AdrianKRAZY, on 06/29/2009, -14/+101Aussie people are so ***** smart.
- chuckDontSurf, on 06/29/2009, -2/+88Apparently, according to a few stories down, we've cured AIDS again as well.
- sathias, on 06/29/2009, -2/+78We Aussies can cure cancer, but apparently are still too stupid to be able to handle an uncensored internet.
- DaNuKaSAN, on 06/29/2009, -4/+68Today's buzz word is: nano.
*takes another shot of jack daniels* - sb66, on 06/29/2009, -1/+58100% survival....that is saying its basically a cure ->under those conditions at least<-
Still, perhaps this could be the one. At the rate Digg is attacking it, cancer has no chance. - sonofabiscuit, on 06/29/2009, -1/+57BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE! CALL RIGHT NOW AND WE'LL GIVE YOU THREE CURES FOR CANCER AT THE PRICE OF ONE!
- ptFoe, on 06/29/2009, -4/+43so smart we have to our net filtered by our Nazi government
- clouds31, on 06/29/2009, -0/+39Implanting nano cells is a good job mate.
- AutoTom, on 06/29/2009, -4/+42*australia cures cancer
not sure why digg keeps trying to take credit for it.. - charlietuna, on 06/29/2009, -3/+39Digg has cured AIDS and Cancer in one day!
- DirtPile, on 06/29/2009, -2/+31KILL IT WITH NANO CELLS
- SeraphIXI, on 06/29/2009, -1/+27***** CANCER!
- HaSatan, on 06/29/2009, -2/+27My name is Robert Neville. I am a survivor living in New York City. I am broadcasting on all AM frequencies. I will be at the South Street Seaport everyday at mid-day, when the sun is highest in the sky. If you are out there... if anyone is out there... I can provide food, I can provide shelter, I can provide security. If there's anybody out there... anybody... please. You are not alone.
- HAL90000, on 06/29/2009, -1/+23They were NOT zombies.
- jynweythek, on 06/29/2009, -0/+21I try to think of these stories less as "OMG WE CURED IT" and more just taking interest in the ways modern medicine is trying to tackle cancer. Think about it; cancer used to be about loading the patient up with drugs and chemicals that would often kill the person along with the cancer. Now we're ***** HACKING BACTERIA. Cure for cancer? not yet. awesome? definitely.
- voze, on 06/29/2009, -2/+22You're not wrong.
- jbham184, on 06/29/2009, -0/+20nano nano nano nano nano nano nano nano nano nano nano nano nano nano nano nano nano nano nano nano nano nano nano nano nano nano nano nano nano nano nano nano nano nano nano nano nano nano nano nano
Good Luck surviving 40 shots - AndrewIsAwesome, on 06/29/2009, -1/+20again
- EddiePotato, on 06/29/2009, -0/+18Use a proxy to penetrate and disarm the censorship, then kill it by voting the bastards who support such legislation out of office.
- dafragsta, on 06/29/2009, -0/+18Unlike most Digg cures, this one is soon going to human trials and with a 100% survival rate in lab animals. That actually sounds like better than average Digg odds.
- kubedawg, on 06/29/2009, -0/+17Wow, and all this time I was getting RID of the Trojan virus. It all makes sense now.
- AdrianKRAZY, on 06/29/2009, -2/+19I know, I'm Aussie :).
- sgtbutterscotch, on 06/29/2009, -0/+15jesus christ, that's the worst mangling of a word i've seen in a while.
- akula89, on 06/29/2009, -0/+13become their replacements
- dafragsta, on 06/29/2009, -1/+14You're really ***** naive. A lot of cancer risk comes from heredity. There are people who have never smoked who've gotten lung cancer. People who never get a lot of sun get skin cancer. Cancer is a risk so long as there is life on earth. You do realizes that you're being bombarded with cosmic radiation all the time right? The atmosphere only keeps so much of it out. There is always a risk of cancer. Knowing how to target and kill it is the best possible cure there is. You're just a smug *****.
- Wubsy, on 06/29/2009, -0/+13Too bad their replacements are also wankers.
- copypastry, on 06/29/2009, -0/+12congrats jbham you're now an accessory to murder
- HAL90000, on 06/29/2009, -0/+11They weren't zombies, they were vampires.
- mrpunman, on 06/29/2009, -1/+11Seriously, you guys didn't watch that part where humans turned into zombies after they tried to effectively kill cancer by injecting nano cells in the bloodstream?
Why so serious? =/ - inactive, on 06/29/2009, -0/+10But it was largely ignored by the community.
Or so I heard. - DestroyedAUS, on 06/29/2009, -0/+10Intelligence =/= Populate Indifference. The reason half of these things even come up unopposed by the masses is because most Aussies (a large portion) are too laid back to give a ***** until something occurs. Just look at APEC; the only people really doing anything about the draconian 'temporary' police powers that came in were the Chaser boys.
- dexter311, on 06/29/2009, -0/+10Unfortunately for us, Conroy *isn't* one of the smart ones...
- copypastry, on 06/29/2009, -1/+10You call that a tumor?
THIS is a tumor. - ganymede2010, on 06/29/2009, -2/+11The Singularity is near.
- JeSTeRSeVeN, on 06/29/2009, -1/+10Clearly, they were aliens.
- ultralights, on 06/29/2009, -0/+9get off the road you ***** poofter bastard!
- grantmoore3d, on 06/29/2009, -0/+9A nano-shot?
- mrpunman, on 06/29/2009, -3/+12The world is bigger than USA
- anatraj, on 06/29/2009, -0/+8WE'LL ALSO THROW IN THE CURE FOR AIDS AT NO ADDITIONAL COST!!
Just pay extra $9.95 for Shipping and Handling. - Stinkylicious, on 06/29/2009, -2/+10The summary sounds like an opening to some sort of new espionage game coming out.
- localzuk, on 06/29/2009, -1/+9For a tech site, the readers here are a bit anti-science, or at least, a bit in the dark as to how the whole 'science' thing works.
1. Scientists develop a technique
2. They test on cell cultures, computer simulations, and on non-human animals
3. They publish their results if it did what they wanted.
4. The media pick up on any stories which they think are exciting.
5. The scientists carry on testing, moving to clinical trials
6. If clinical trials are successful, further information is published
7. The media once again pick up on it.
8. If the technique can be commercialised, it gets turned into a product and suibmitted for approval by whoever needs to approve such things
9. They wait patiently, with the company lobbying whoever needs lobbying
10. Decades down the line, the technique appears on the market.
So, we're only at stage 4... - Wubsy, on 06/29/2009, -0/+8Yes
- MurphyWatson, on 06/29/2009, -0/+8Cancer can be cured, the question is whether greedy pharmaceutical companies will care enough to make it available to people.
- sb66, on 06/29/2009, -1/+8Lots of stuff looks awesome in the lab but doesn't live up to it when tested with real people. This does look very interesting however; and since personally I think nanotechnology will enable us to defeat all diseases eventually; I wouldn't be surprised if there was something to this. Even if just as an important step in the right direction.
- EddiePotato, on 06/29/2009, -1/+8I hope so. It would be so nice to finally have all this messy information in one place.
- voze, on 06/29/2009, -1/+8fattmarrel:
You're a ***** idiot. - sandburn, on 06/29/2009, -0/+7*australian scientists cure cancer
not sure why australia keeps trying to take credit for it.. -
