There's also the other way around: most GUI toolkits such as GTK 
have an OpenGL widget, so with my multi-backend design I can make 
OpenGL backends for the widgets of those toolkits. You'd have your 
regular widgets and then the option to use part of the window for 
3D

I'm struggling with a fully built r3gui so I might just wait a bit!

I'm eying some libraries that could be used for medical applications 
:-)

most of the stuff I've needed I've had to build myself :(
Kaj

In REBOL or in medical?
GrahamC
21-May-2013
[1882]
medical stuff for Rebol
Kaj
21-May-2013
[1883]
Yeah, not much support there
GrahamC
21-May-2013
[1884]
well, there's a billion$ out there for medical apps
Kaj

Paying customers?
GrahamC

works for me .. but CMS wants better health models, and they can 
pay :)

Those are US grants, aren't they?
GrahamC

A horrible site that is completely broken without cookies
Can you apply for that?
GrahamC
21-May-2013
[1898x3]
No .. I haven't thought about it
Actually the answer to the USA's health issues is pretty simple
But the answer is just not palatable to the patients!

Stop eating junk?
GrahamC

The problem with the USA is a western life style.  Take away the 
western life style ... and the western diseases go
Immigrants move to the USA looking for a better life than they had 
. yet typically immigrant children have shorter life spans then their 
migrant parents
Kaj

Yeah
GrahamC

and you guys in Holland are just as worse off
Kaj

[1906]
Not yet, we're always some years behind
GrahamC

Well, it's commonly known here how bad the dutch immigrants here 
have such bad heart disease
All that cheese in their diet I would guess
Kaj
21-May-2013
[1909]
Interesting. Are those hard statistics? Cheese shouldn't be the problem
GrahamC

The underlying issue is biology.
Humans are most closely related biologically to the great apes .. 
who eat plant based diets.  We have similar teeth and long intestines.
Feed them a saturated fat diet ( from animal products such as milk, 
cheese, meat ) and they get the same illnesses
Carnivores can not get atherosclerosis .. feed them as much animal 
fat as you like.  Only herbivores get atherosclerosis when eating 
saturated fats of animal origin
Kaj

We're really omnivores, not herbivores
GrahamC
21-May-2013
[1915x4]
Sure .. we can eat insects to get our B12
All herbivores do not make vitamin C
carnivores make their own vitamin C
Guess what .. we don't make vitamin C either

So you all eat grass on the other side?
GrahamC
21-May-2013
[1920x3]
yes
rice is the staple food for most of the world
and is a grass
Kaj
21-May-2013
[1923]
Well, it was half of my food today

Anyway, there's lots of data showing disease progression as populations 
move from Japan/china to hawaii/singapore to USA
as the diet changes to the local diets
and in NZ, the natives and pacific islanders .. all have problems
