| GoForbes28 | Two: Android can be forked. | Aug 22 19:10 |

| Snit | So what do you suggest that will protect the innovations of companies while not leading to the insanity of lawsuits we are currently seeing? | Aug 22 19:13 |

| -TRIdentica/#techrights-[fontana/@fontana] Can I safely assume any package beginning with a k is associated with #KDE? | Aug 22 19:13 | |
| MinceR | most of the things they call "innovation" aren't | Aug 22 19:13 |
| GoForbes28 | Snit: I agree with Roy that software patents should be abolished, period. | Aug 22 19:13 |
| Snit | So how do you protect the innovations of companies? | Aug 22 19:14 |
| Snit | I do not care what laws it comes under... but it should be done. | Aug 22 19:14 |
| GoForbes28 | Copyright. | Aug 22 19:14 |
| Snit | And not just at the level of the code, but at the level of the UI | Aug 22 19:14 |
| MinceR | the UI is generated by code | Aug 22 19:14 |
| Snit | Does copyright include UI and packaging and device design? | Aug 22 19:14 |
| GoForbes28 | Well, if the UI become ubiquitous, it isn't an innovation. | Aug 22 19:15 |
| Snit | MinceR: of course. Has anyone suggested otherwise? | Aug 22 19:15 |
| MinceR | you did | Aug 22 19:15 |
| Snit | But if you make a UI, I do not need to see the code to copy it. | Aug 22 19:15 |
| MinceR | normal patents protect implementations and production processes, not vague ideas, as software patents do | Aug 22 19:15 |
| Snit | MinceR: you did not understand my comments. | Aug 22 19:15 |
| MinceR | in the case of software, products are protected by copyright | Aug 22 19:15 |
| Snit | MinceR: does that cover the things I listed - UIs, for example? | Aug 22 19:16 |
| Snit | Or just the code itself? | Aug 22 19:16 |
| GoForbes28 | I don't see how an design staying exactly the same with minute differences can still be called an innovation year after year. | Aug 22 19:16 |
| MinceR | the code | Aug 22 19:16 |
| MinceR | also icons and fonts | Aug 22 19:16 |
| _Goblin | schestowitz: hello mate.....tuesday? | Aug 22 19:16 |
| MinceR | what else should be covered? | Aug 22 19:16 |
| Snit | So it does not protect the UI and the like... other than very specific things. Then it needs to be expanded before other protections are removed | Aug 22 19:16 |

| TechrightsBot-tr | Title: Registration for Open Government Data Camp 2011 is now open! | Open Knowledge Foundation Blog .::. Size~: 55.86 KB | Aug 22 19:16 |
| MinceR | Snit: what about the UI do you want to "protect"? | Aug 22 19:17 |
| Snit | Oh, I agree that the protections should not be forever. | Aug 22 19:17 |
| Snit | MinceR: the design, the method of getting things done, etc. When appropriate, of course. | Aug 22 19:17 |
| GoForbes28 | Protections is what allowed this mess to begin in the first place. | Aug 22 19:17 |
| MinceR | Snit: earlier you seemed to want consistency. now you want every app to have different method of getting things done. which one do you want? | Aug 22 19:18 |
| Snit | If a company makes a tool which is significantly easier to use than what is out there, others should not be able to just take that innovation. | Aug 22 19:18 |
| GoForbes28 | Apple's protecting of the UI in the 80's killed off most of the potential competition, leading to the monopoly we have now | Aug 22 19:18 |
| MinceR | you can't have both. | Aug 22 19:18 |
| Snit | MinceR: I said nothing about consistency here. | Aug 22 19:18 |
| MinceR | and if the company only has a vague idea to profit from, then perhaps they need some other business to try. | Aug 22 19:18 |
| MinceR | ideas are worth nothing without implementation. | Aug 22 19:18 |
| GoForbes28 | A free-market economy works best will smaller firms and lots of competition | Aug 22 19:18 |
| Snit | But if you want to include my views on that, too... we can. I do not see the contradiction. Maybe you can explain where you think there is one | Aug 22 19:18 |
| Snit | MinceR: vague idea? About what? | Aug 22 19:19 |
| MinceR | Snit: if you were allowed to patent the look-and-feel of a UI, all UIs would have to be different enough as to be inconsistent with each other, to avoid violating patents | Aug 22 19:19 |
| GoForbes28 | MinceR: exactly | Aug 22 19:19 |
| MinceR | Snit: software patents are always about vaguely defined ideas | Aug 22 19:19 |
| Snit | GoForbes: Say a small firm makes a better, easier to use UI. Why should Apple be able to take it without paying for it? | Aug 22 19:19 |
| Snit | Or MS. Or anyone else? | Aug 22 19:19 |
| MinceR | they can't take it if the small firm does copyright licensing properly | Aug 22 19:20 |
| Snit | MinceR: who says one UI on one device needs to be consistent with another on another device? | Aug 22 19:20 |
| GoForbes28 | Furthermore Snit, this happened anyway regardless of "patents" | Aug 22 19:20 |
| GoForbes28 | Apple did take Xerox's ideas | Aug 22 19:20 |
| Snit | MinceR: so you are for being able to copyright UIs. OK, then we agree. | Aug 22 19:20 |
| MinceR | Snit: i didn't say anything about different devices. UIs from different developers usually run on the same device. | Aug 22 19:20 |
| Snit | GoForbes: no, they did not. But if you think otherwise then support it. I will say Apple *paid* for some ideas by Xerox... and them modified them quite a bit | Aug 22 19:21 |
| MinceR | actually they did | Aug 22 19:21 |
| MinceR | learn your IT history | Aug 22 19:21 |
| GoForbes28 | Bill Gates took the idea of DOS too. | Aug 22 19:21 |
| Snit | MinceR: and for that the developer of that device should allow its own developers to use the UI. Why would they not? | Aug 22 19:22 |
| Snit | MinceR: so support your claim. | Aug 22 19:22 |
| Snit | GoForbes: there is more support for that. Yes. | Aug 22 19:22 |
| GoForbes28 | Hence my point. | Aug 22 19:22 |
| Snit | But the idea that Apple *took* ideas from Xerox is not supported. They *purchased* some IP and then expanded it. | Aug 22 19:22 |
| GoForbes28 | It is the same arguement for DRM | Aug 22 19:22 |
| Snit | And I am not supporting MS for doing so. | Aug 22 19:23 |
| Snit | Nor am I supporting Apple for its mistakes - such as claiming "App Store" is their own term. Rubbish. Just absurd. | Aug 22 19:23 |
| Snit | But back to the topic: if some small company comes up with a better way to get a task done, a way that is handled by a superior user experience, that should be something they can protect. | Aug 22 19:24 |
| GoForbes28 | The idea is that DRM is needed to protect against copying or code modification or what not, when it is completely ineffective against determined enough programmers and instead inflicts itself on regular users. | Aug 22 19:24 |
| Snit | But this is tricky - it is something that others can see and of course they will be inspired by it. So what is natural inspiration or whatever and what is unfair? | Aug 22 19:24 |
| Snit | Right now there is no good line - and by the nature of innovation I am not sure there can be. How can you make clear rules on things which have yet to be invented? | Aug 22 19:25 |
| Snit | But the current system sucks. | Aug 22 19:25 |
| Snit | There are some things which should be pretty clear: limit the time of the protection. Whatever time we pick will be largely arbitrary... but maybe 5-10 years. | Aug 22 19:26 |
| Snit | But then do others get to use Mickey Mouse in their own movies? Can I make the next Muppet movie? No... that does not seem right. | Aug 22 19:26 |
| GoForbes28 | A non-profit Free software community more easily copy an idea, because the barriers that prevented them from doing so are gone. | Aug 22 19:26 |
| GoForbes28 | Snit: Mickey should by all means be in the public domain. | Aug 22 19:27 |
| GoForbes28 | And yes, if you don't violate the copyright, you can make a muppet movie. | Aug 22 19:27 |
| Snit | GoForbes: I do not think anyone is against people having the choice to not protect their ideas. Or to offer more rights but still have limits (like the GPL) | Aug 22 19:27 |
| GoForbes28 | Those are completely separate from software anyhow. | Aug 22 19:27 |
| GoForbes28 | Don't mix issues. | Aug 22 19:27 |
| Snit | So can I make a copy of MS Office that looks the same - other than the name and maybe some small differences in the way icons look? | Aug 22 19:28 |
| Snit | But it is about protecting one's work. | Aug 22 19:28 |
| Snit | There simply is no good, clear answer | Aug 22 19:28 |
| Snit | But with software: look at the MS Office question. Maybe a bad example - too many people see "MS" and freak out and stop thinking. | Aug 22 19:29 |
| Snit | So should MS be able to make Bing look just like Google if they want? | Aug 22 19:29 |
| Snit | Copy all of the innovations that Google brings to search and their other services... right after Google does so? | Aug 22 19:29 |
| GoForbes28 | Well, you are assuming that either a) the person responsible has access to the original MS Office source code and has simply rebranded it, or b) Can create a instantaneous clone miraculous with completely original code. | Aug 22 19:29 |
| Snit | I say no. Google has rights over their products. | Aug 22 19:29 |
| GoForbes28 | Which is ludacrous | Aug 22 19:30 |
| GoForbes28 | It takes time for these things to happen with our current technology level. | Aug 22 19:30 |
| Snit | I am talking principles... and OpenOffice already provides a good amount of such code. | Aug 22 19:30 |
| Snit | So you say let the technology handle it - let people copy each other as fast as they can? | Aug 22 19:30 |
| Snit | Not sure what your point is. | Aug 22 19:31 |
| GoForbes28 | Microsoft has plenty have time to innovate or provide an alternate means of making money, whether through support whatever. | Aug 22 19:31 |
| Snit | I asked about Google - should MS be able to completely copy their services? | Aug 22 19:31 |
| GoForbes28 | Or they can make Office a better product. | Aug 22 19:31 |
| -TRIdentica/#techrights-[tekk/@tekk] @fontana ah | Aug 22 19:31 | |
| Snit | But then somebody can take that better product. | Aug 22 19:31 |
| GoForbes28 | Yep, which mean Microsoft can't sit still. They have to adapt to the changing environment | Aug 22 19:32 |
| Snit | So what about the other way... funny how you ignore that. Should MS be able to take Google's products and copy them? | Aug 22 19:32 |
| *Diablo-D3 (~diablo@68.238.55.43) has joined #techrights | Aug 22 19:32 | |
| GoForbes28 | They can't. They are a solitary company. | Aug 22 19:32 |
| GoForbes28 | Well, I can only address one point at a time Snit. In a real, civilised conversation, one doesn't interrupt another when they are trying to answer an initial question. | Aug 22 19:33 |
| Snit | Should MS be able to take Google's products and copy them? Should Bing be able to look and work just like Google? Should their online Office products be able to look and act just like Google's? Etc.? | Aug 22 19:33 |

| GoForbes28 | They can try, sure | Aug 22 19:34 |
| Snit | So you have no problem with MS copying Google to that level. | Aug 22 19:34 |
| GoForbes28 | Google has to innovate too | Aug 22 19:34 |
| Snit | Interesting. | Aug 22 19:34 |
| Snit | And as soon as Google changes something MS should be able to copy that, too. | Aug 22 19:34 |
| GoForbes28 | In an ideal world, we would have several search engines covering a broad spectrum of needs, I.E. privacy | Aug 22 19:34 |
| Snit | Even if the idea is one that is very clever and innovative and a great benefit to the user... but not that hard to copy. | Aug 22 19:34 |

| *eebrah has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) | Aug 22 19:35 | |
| GoForbes28 | Yeah, because if your situation was correct, and Google and Microsoft were the only two companies in this market apparently, then I would want them to fight each other until they were both at a position that allowed other competition to come it. | Aug 22 19:36 |
| Snit | Seems your idea of protection is that things which are easy to copy, even if innovative and a great benefit to users, should not really be something one can protect. I disagree - I support the idea that there should be focus and innovation in those areas and understand that protection of people's work is a benefit to gain that. | Aug 22 19:36 |
| Snit | Nobody is stopping other search engines... but none really have gained much of a foothold. Still, there are other options out there. | Aug 22 19:37 |
| GoForbes28 | SnitL Innovation occurs regardless of protection. Bittorrent didn't happen because someone promised a lot of benefits and "protection". | Aug 22 19:38 |
| *eebrah (~Ibrahim_K@41.215.224.90) has joined #techrights | Aug 22 19:38 | |
| schestowitz | _Goblin: sure! | Aug 22 19:38 |
| Snit | So you do not recognize how protection of people's work can help to encourage such work. Ok, fair enough. Now we see where we differ in our ideas. | Aug 22 19:39 |
| Snit | Not sure there is much middle ground there... | Aug 22 19:39 |
| Snit | But I am OK with that. | Aug 22 19:39 |
| Snit | Goblin and Schestowitz: any idea when I can be on the show next? Things are clearing up for me and I can do it late this month or next month. Would really love to. | Aug 22 19:40 |
| GoForbes28 | schestowitz: Will you use that article in upcoming post? | Aug 22 19:40 |
| GoForbes28 | Snit: I recognize that copyright should exist yes. I think that in some form, patents for physical products could work better yes. | Aug 22 19:41 |
| GoForbes28 | I do however, favour minimalism in lieu of the opposite extreme. Copyright should be at most 10 years, etc. | Aug 22 19:41 |
| Snit | I think 10 years is fair | Aug 22 19:42 |
| Snit | and I agree the current system is not working... for anyone | Aug 22 19:43 |
| Snit | But I do not agree with the idea that Company 1 should be able to take the ideas of Company 2 no matter how innovative those ideas are. | Aug 22 19:43 |
| Snit | But measuring innovation is very challenging... | Aug 22 19:43 |
| Snit | I see folks such as Roy just denying it left and right... and that I think is absurd. But I also see folks trying to protect things they should not (one click shopping, the term "App Store", etc.) | Aug 22 19:44 |
| Snit | And that is just as absurd. | Aug 22 19:44 |
| Snit | And how about the logo of a company. Should others be able to use the Mickey Mouse logo or the Apple logo... or Tux? | Aug 22 19:45 |
| Snit | I say no - those are owned pretty much for the lifetime of the controlling company. | Aug 22 19:46 |
| GoForbes28 | I think it's absurd that a non-profit Free software community should be attacked because it manages to do a better job then the company selling software. | Aug 22 19:46 |
| Snit | Who is attacking it? And for what? | Aug 22 19:46 |
| GoForbes28 | No, that's a matter of trademarks, a completely separate series of laws. | Aug 22 19:46 |
| Snit | Right: there are all sorts of IP laws. | Aug 22 19:46 |
| Snit | But back to your topic of people attacking free software for doing things better. Can you give some examples? | Aug 22 19:47 |
| GoForbes28 | I don't recognize the term IP, because at it's very core it's a stupid conept | Aug 22 19:47 |
| GoForbes28 | libdvdcss | Aug 22 19:47 |
| GoForbes28 | Well, technically that was the MPAA and such | Aug 22 19:47 |
| Snit | Oh, come on, even kids get the concept of IP. I make X... little Johnny copies me... he is wrong. | Aug 22 19:48 |
| GoForbes28 | that isn't property | Aug 22 19:48 |
| Snit | complaints about libdvdcss were not able it being better quality. | Aug 22 19:48 |
| Snit | It is someone's idea... their work. | Aug 22 19:49 |
| GoForbes28 | the term Intellectual property allows a company to obscure what they actually hold in order to exploit. | Aug 22 19:49 |
| GoForbes28 | but anyway, well under the DMCA no. | Aug 22 19:49 |
| Snit | property: Something tangible or intangible to which its owner has legal title | Aug 22 19:49 |
| Snit | So it need not be tangible. So, yes, it can be property. | Aug 22 19:49 |
| Snit | Though I would be open to other terms... do you have a better one? | Aug 22 19:50 |
| _Goblin | hi snit | Aug 22 19:50 |

| _Goblin | (property) | Aug 22 19:50 |
| GoForbes28 | Intangible could mean airspace. | Aug 22 19:50 |
| _Goblin | Sec(1) Theft act....defines property as tangible.... | Aug 22 19:50 |
| Snit | So what is a better term? I agree it is not like owning a house or a car. Your ownership rights are not limited the same way | Aug 22 19:51 |
| _Goblin | (in respect of permanent deprivation) | Aug 22 19:51 |
| GoForbes28 | If I have a thought, as soon as I share it, it is no longer my own. | Aug 22 19:51 |
| Snit | Wait: theft is a different topic. | Aug 22 19:51 |
| _Goblin | Sec(1) Theft Act - "To dishonestly appropriate property belonging to another with the intention to permanently deprive the other of it" | Aug 22 19:51 |
| Snit | GoForbes: so company logos should not be owned? They are *nothing* but ideas which are shared. | Aug 22 19:51 |
| _Goblin | *sorry | Aug 22 19:51 |
| _Goblin | *another is incorrect wording | Aug 22 19:51 |
| _Goblin | its "other" | Aug 22 19:52 |
| Snit | Goblin: I agree that IP is not "stolen" in the same way physical property is... | Aug 22 19:52 |
| GoForbes28 | Snit: yes | Aug 22 19:52 |
| Snit | And that "theft" might not be the best word. | Aug 22 19:52 |
| _Goblin | I was just sticking my 10p in! | Aug 22 19:52 |
| _Goblin | ;) | Aug 22 19:52 |
| _Goblin | however | Aug 22 19:52 |
| Snit | GoForbes: So I should be able to use Tux and the term "Linux" however I want? | Aug 22 19:52 |
| Snit | they are not owned by anyone - they are ideas which have been shared. | Aug 22 19:52 |
| GoForbes28 | Snit: Within the boundaries of the established trademark laws. | Aug 22 19:52 |
| _Goblin | one could argue (if the "theft" involves financial loss) then the "property" part of the theft act is satisfied. | Aug 22 19:53 |
| Snit | Ah, so their *should* be protections. I agree. | Aug 22 19:53 |
| schestowitz | [19:06] <GoForbes28> They want to play the game by the same rules, and that is simply not going to work. | Aug 22 19:53 |
| *ThistleWeb has given up on the word "linux" and now installs and uses GNU/ThrowatWarblerMangrow | Aug 22 19:53 | |
| schestowitz | true, they can afford it | Aug 22 19:53 |
| ThistleWeb | GNU/ThroatWarblerMangrow even | Aug 22 19:53 |
| Snit | Goblin: right... and even if there is no financial loss, that is not an excuse. I cannot make my own OS and call it Linux and use Tux as a logo. Even though Linux is free. | Aug 22 19:53 |
| _Goblin | Its a strange one though, since much of copyright law (in the uk) falls under civil not criminal law. | Aug 22 19:54 |
| GoForbes28 | Snit: Yes, because there is an *agreement* in place. | Aug 22 19:54 |
| Snit | An agreement takes two. What if I do not agree? | Aug 22 19:54 |
| _Goblin | and the burden of proof is very different in a civil court to a criminal court | Aug 22 19:54 |
| Snit | Goblin: true. | Aug 22 19:54 |
| Snit | BRB... checking on another computer. | Aug 22 19:55 |
| Snit | By the way, trying to get XP to work on an old white-box computer. It *sucks*. I have never had this much problem with any flavor of Linux on any hardware. To the point I am thinking of installing Linux and running XP in virtualization (I need some Windows programs on it or I would just run Linux). | Aug 22 19:56 |
| GoForbes28 | Snit: How old? | Aug 22 19:56 |
| GoForbes28 | schestowitz: Maybe in light of the economy they simply don't want to take steps that are too radical? | Aug 22 19:57 |
| Snit | I just got it... do not know how old. The chipset, though, is the K8N Neo V2.0 H chipset. | Aug 22 19:57 |
| Snit | Whatever that means. :) | Aug 22 19:57 |
| Snit | Trying to get a driver downloaded and installed for it is a pain. | Aug 22 19:57 |
| schestowitz | [19:40] <GoForbes28> schestowitz: Will you use that article in upcoming post? | Aug 22 19:58 |
| schestowitz | It sounds like a FUD piece | Aug 22 19:58 |
| -TRIdentica/#techrights-[jonobacon/@jonobacon] Catching up with a mountain of mail. A day off last week and out all weekend does this. | Aug 22 19:58 | |
| schestowitz | But unless it gets spread like the Mobbyists does (spamming journalists), let's ignore | Aug 22 19:58 |
| Snit | To get the driver seems you need to run a utility to find the right one. But to run that you need to update your browser... and when I do that the machine locks up and will not reboot. | Aug 22 19:58 |
| GoForbes28 | schestowitz: Well, when it quacks, chirps, and gargles like one... | Aug 22 19:58 |
| Snit | If anyone has any advice on how to get the blasted thing to work I am all ears. | Aug 22 19:59 |
| GoForbes28 | Snit: Lol, Windows 95 perhaps? | Aug 22 19:59 |
| Snit | I could try that... :) | Aug 22 19:59 |
| Snit | It came with Windows XP. I made the mistake of upgrading the video driver... and that killed the machine. Would not boot. So I figured I would just reinstall Win XP. | Aug 22 20:00 |
| Snit | And since then it has been nothing but a disaster. | Aug 22 20:00 |
| Snit | I am seriously considering running Linux just to run XP in a virtual machine. It would be slower, but I bet it would work. | Aug 22 20:01 |
| schestowitz | GoForbes28: some FUD goes viral | Aug 22 20:01 |
| schestowitz | like the "Microsoft declares Linux not a threat" FUD | Aug 22 20:01 |
| Snit | And the online stuff can be directly on Linux... so that would not be slower | Aug 22 20:01 |
| Snit | I love how when MS said Linux was a threat that was great evidence... now that MS focuses on Apple more it is FUD. Gotta love the double standard there. | Aug 22 20:01 |
| schestowitz | If it's already polluting the news, then it can be worth a rebuttal. More exposure to it is not a big deal by then. | Aug 22 20:02 |
| Snit | Ok, off to go check on the POS XP machine. | Aug 22 20:02 |
| schestowitz | sigh | Aug 22 20:02 |
| schestowitz | we even get FUD in IIRC now | Aug 22 20:02 |

| schestowitz | There's always an answer | Aug 22 20:12 |
| DrumScum | i emerged gftp, but forgot to set the gtk USE flag | Aug 22 20:12 |
| schestowitz | DrumScum: remember plasma in 4.3? | Aug 22 20:12 |
| schestowitz | It was a bit glitchy | Aug 22 20:12 |
| schestowitz | Sometimes the folderview would be out of date | Aug 22 20:13 |
| DrumScum | so it built WITHOUT GUI | Aug 22 20:13 |
| schestowitz | And dragging things, well... would be a drag | Aug 22 20:13 |
| DrumScum | damn, the command line interface to gftp is *nice* | Aug 22 20:13 |
| schestowitz | and I had to kill and reastarted plasma-desktop every now and then to reduce toll on RAM | Aug 22 20:13 |
| schestowitz | That was around 2008 | Aug 22 20:13 |
| DrumScum | schestowitz: yes, the early releases of KDE/Plasma were quite sloppy | Aug 22 20:13 |
| schestowitz | DrumScum: use Dolphin or Konqueror for S/FTP | Aug 22 20:13 |
| DrumScum | don't have those installed | Aug 22 20:14 |
| schestowitz | It's also graphical with drag and drop, previews, kio for work over the network transparently | Aug 22 20:14 |
| Snit | Goblin and Schestowitz: so let's pick a date / time. And, yes, you are often here, Goblin. :) | Aug 22 20:14 |
| DrumScum | yes, i love that about konqueror a lot | Aug 22 20:14 |

| DrumScum | it even has a man page kio slave :-) | Aug 22 20:15 |

| schestowitz | i used gftp a lot back in the days also when it failed to access /reliably/ some of the BSD servers I had a site on | Aug 22 20:15 |
| schestowitz | I think it opened too many sockets at once in suse 8 | Aug 22 20:15 |

| schestowitz | Probably not... that has been in KDE4 for quite a while... windows grouping with kwin effects for rotating to move from one to another | Aug 22 20:26 |
| Snit | Window grouping I think is a great idea. | Aug 22 20:28 |
| Snit | A great way to pull tasks together... though, of course, then you cannot see them side by side | Aug 22 20:29 |
| Snit | I wish there was a good way to group windows and pull them forward with one click. I do not know of a good solution for that. Virtual desktops is sorta like that, but not really. | Aug 22 20:29 |

| schestowitz | "The increased use of CT scans has been the greatest in two fields: screening of adults (screening CT of the lung in smokers, virtual colonoscopy, CT cardiac screening, and whole-body CT in asymptomatic patients) and CT imaging of children. Shortening of the scanning time to around 1 second, eliminating the strict need for the subject to remain still or be sedated, is one of the main reasons for the large increase in the pediatric | Aug 22 22:24 |

| schestowitz | increase in cancer mortality over the background rate. In the United States, of approximately 600,000 abdominal and head CT examinations annually performed in children under the age of 15 years, a rough estimate is that 500 of these individuals might ultimately die from cancer attributable to the CT radiation.[13] The additional risk is still low 0.35% compared to the background risk of dying from cancer of 23%.[13] However, if these | Aug 22 22:26 |
