I expect be unavailable to publish The Rational Argumentator until circa November 22, 2012 \u2013 but, in the meantime, various new offerings have been posted for my readers.<\/p>\n
In addition, I have recently been impressed by the significant contributions my computer has made to the World Community Grid Help Conquer Cancer<\/a> distributed computing project. (You can see a presentation by one of the project\u2019s lead scientists, Dr. Igor Jurisica, here<\/a>.) About a month ago, the Help Conquer Cancer project was enhanced to allow computers\u2019 Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) to assist in the analysis of millions of experiments. My own recently enhanced computer has been participating heavily, which caused my worldwide ranking on World Community Grid to rise within a month from about 60,000th<\/sup> place to 26,744th<\/sup> place (updated every half-day) in terms of credits and 15,795th<\/sup> place in terms of results returned. In addition, for the totality of BOINC distributed computing projects<\/a>, I have risen to the 98.2932nd<\/sup> percentile and a world rank of 42,446 in terms of total credits and the 99.5634th<\/sup> percentile and a world rank of 10,878 in terms of recent average credit. In the United States, I am ranked at 11,802nd<\/sup> place in terms of total BOINC credit earned.<\/p>\n I expect that my computer will continue to run at full capacity during the upcoming weeks, and indefinitely into the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n For your contemplation and enjoyment, I offer here the list of diverse and fascinating articles and videos that have been included in the Resources on Indefinite Life Extension (RILE)<\/a> page in October and early November of this year.<\/p>\n Articles<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n – “Nanoparticles Against Aging<\/a>” – Science Daily and Asociaci\u00f3n RUVID – October 3, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n – “Nanoparticles can deliver antiaging therapies<\/a>” – Brian Wang – The Next Big Future – October 4, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n – “A Speculative Order of Arrival for Important Rejuvenation Therapies<\/a>” – Reason – Fight Aging! – October 4, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n – “Therapy will use stem cells to heal heart<\/a>” – Pauline Tam – October 4, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n – “Aubrey de Grey on Longevity Science<\/a>” – Reason – Fight Aging! – October 5, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n – “Predicted sequence of Antiaging rejuvenation<\/a>” – Brian Wang – The Next Big Future – October 5, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n – “Researchers use magnets to cause programmed cancer cell deaths<\/a>” – Bob Yirka – October 8, 2012\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n – “Lilly Alzheimer\u2019s Drug Slows Mental Decline, Study Finds<\/a>” – Shannon Pettypiece – October 8, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n – “Vitamin Variants Could Combat Cancer as Scientists Unravel B12 Secrets<\/a>” – ScienceDaily and University of Kent – October 8, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n – “Human Immortality: Singularity Summit Looks Forward to the Day That Humans Can Live Forever<\/a>” – Hamdan Azhar – Policymic – October 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n – “Drug From Chinese \u2018Thunder God Vine\u2019 Slays Tumors in Mice<\/a>” – Drew Armstrong – Bloomberg – October 17, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n – “82 Years of Technology Advances; but best yet to come<\/a>” – Dick Pelletier – Transhumanity.net – October 25, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n – “New you by 2022: biotech enhancements will help you ‘grow young’<\/a>” – Dick Pelletier – Positive Futurist – October 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n – “Flu Vaccination May Increase Longevity<\/a>” – Lyle J.
