I can't make a living [Nick Ingram (IFA)] (Dec 14 2005 08:59 GMT) - if you know the exact date when you will retire and how much fixed or escalating income you are going to have in retirement. You are no use to me as a client if you know the date on which you will die. I have no interest in talking to you if you can tell me the exact time you will contract a debilitating illness that might impair your ability to earn a living or maintain your lifestyle. You are of no use to me, and it will totally waste my time and cost me money if you can guarantee the inheritance you are expecting. The one you are relying on to secure your financial future. |

MPAA Sues Man Over Movies It Can't Find (Dec 14 2005 08:59 GMT) - One big point of contention concerning most of the lawsuits filed by the entertainment industry against file sharers concerns the burden of proof. The entertainment industry wants people to believe that all they need to show is that an unauthorized file was shared from a specific IP address which was assigned to a certain account paid for by whoever it is they're suing. Plenty of others question whether that's enough. There are an awful lot of variables in there that suggest the entertainment industry hasn't proved very much at all. First, they need proof that the file was actually infringing -- just looking at the name clearly is not enough and can lead to embarrassments for the industry. |

Thrifty Gene Theory ? Do Certain Peoples Have Higher Genetic Probability of Type 2 Diabetes? (Dec 14 2005 08:53 GMT) - In the 1960s, a scientist named James Neel suggested that Pima Indians are often overweight because of what has been called the thrifty gene theory. For many cultures, hunting and farming did not provide a consistent, sustainable supply of food. Some peoples would go through periods where droughts or other impediments would keep them from getting food some seasons. As a result, those with the genetics to conserve energy survived. Although it served them well when food supplies were limited, it has led to many problems today. |
