    I like the english idea of small amounts of weak tea during the day for cafeine vs. the megablast followed by dehydration and a crash. I switched from DARK coffee to 2-3 cups of green tea a day, the L-theanine in the green tea is good to keep the jitters away.

    Atleast you didnt get suckered into the Provigil/Ritalin crap. Try Korean Ginseng (Panax) small amounts of l-phenylalanine and excercise, it may not get you wired but it makes me clear in the head.

    how bout streaming media? Let college DJ's on there, and have "news" about the college in between? If it is a comp.sci school offer people free hosting? You probably have thought of that, but no better pratice than with a real Web Server. What about having a few old switches/routers that Cisco/Routing class students can ssh in and have a real lab instead of packet tracer (not the same)

    Cisco Academy is like this, open book , at home tests but if you don't *already* know the material there's no way you're going to be finishing all the questions in 1 hour. There are3 blogs were people post "answers" but cisco switches it up quickly enough that it's more effort to cheat than to just read the friggin book ! It is possible though, I have seen blog's w/ very similar questions, but never quite exactly the same. This isn't for CCNP just for the CLASS i take at the local public tech. college.

  15. light weight linux, BeOS, MS NT4/2k, NOT Win98! on Fast-Booting OS for Usually-Off Appliance PCs? · · Score: 1

    NT4 or light weight Linux, Xubuntu, Feather, Damn Small Linux etc.. perhaps a real time kernel if they are appliances. I am assuming you can't or don't want to buy fast flash/NVRAM. Is wake on LAN an option in the BIOS? That may be helpful for keeping them off except when needed. Also the "Suspend" / Hibernate mode for Linux will bring it up quickly. If you can find all the apps you need then BeOS would be ideal. There are ways to have a nearly "instant on Linux" I am not an expert in trying to have it boot up fast, rather have it STAY up..Good Luck! Others will probably have similar comments, just trying to help. - Jeff

  19. Re:Are you saying GA's fat? on Georgia's New State Health Plan Is Google · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I am from GA (not originally )and this got me laughing pretty hard! That's how it is in very rural areas[South Carolina is much worse IMO], people are very friendly just really "country" Savannah is kind of half redneck half random people that moved here and country club like art college kids.I wouldn't say in this town there are more fattie's than Pittsburgh, Cleavland, Houston, Buffalo, Illinois, Detroit ([places I lived) or other "blue collar" type cities. When you go out into more rural reads yes, but then what's the point of this? there is nothing their but farms and grass, and cows etc.. Atlanta has the fun city stuff, Savannah has the historic/pretty/SoCo style stuff. What really would you do for the rural areas were people tend IMO to be more overweight. I think the health issue is a money issue, poor people don't eat as well, can't afford fish, fresh fruit and produce. So they get older chicken and fry it or by carbs (cheaper) Carbs IIRC cause a smoker to desire more cigarettes[me?]. So IMO yes people in New England/NYC/LA/SanFran/Rhode Island (other places I lived) for example tend to be more fit but it's largely a financial thing, part an education thing. -Derp downsouf in Savannah GA

    why not 2-CB/MDMA/milder psychedelics, they can cure (in my personal experience) mental problems instead of just "covering them up" you literally are forced to face your problems .. was good for me, check out MAPS, they do research in this field but unfortunately these powerful and very useful substances are extremely illegal (WHY *SO* ILLEGAL) IMO, they would put psychiatrist with the take 2 pills a day and come back in 30 days for another $200 visit..

    Only drug that has benefited me tremendously is 2-CB a Shugin invention, used with therapy it allows you to see what's going on in your head and change it / break habits, have moments where you KNOW YOU HAVE TO CHANGE something in your life, also I realized all the crap and negative thoughts in my head, in small doses, it really helped me (permanently) 2-CB et al should be studied/researched and even RX'ed with therapy IMO , it is a psychedelic but gentler, it "holds your hand" but you get the benefits of trippig without the super intense and potentially BAD experience (although it tends to be bad only if you THINK it will) My point is that a few sessions of therpy with 2-CB in a controlled setting kept me from taking brain rotting SSRI's on a daily basis (and those are VERY hard to quit, solve no problems, only covers them up, were as the 2-cb is let me DEAL with the problems and made it clear what I needed to do to better myself, I have been off all drugs/meds for 8 years, (used to take a lot of benzo's and weed for fun , Xanax for the "issues" that got solved by my trip-therapy session...

    Desoxyn is metamphetamine in a pill form for aorl use, from what I have heard it is nothing like the "rush " effect one would get from street meth , street meth is not meant to be taken orally, it's menat to be smoked. So it is really like comparing (a small dose of time release stimulant ie dexedrine, adderal, desoxyn (Which is no worse than dexedrine in pill for but 999.99% of Dr. would refuse to Rx it because of fear of the DEA, Small doses of Sesoxyn (5mg ) tend to have less side effects and be "cleaner" than reacemaic ampehtamine ((adderal 2 different types of amp) I have taken Adderal in the past and it was VERY HELPFUL for concentration/memory, UNFORTUNATELY.. it's not sustainable, lead to tolerance, long term side effects ("ticks" tourettes like symtoms and Dopamine Down reguation (your brain stops producing as much dopamine naturally becuase it "see's" there is plenty there already. Withdrawal after only a few days of use causes depression, sluggishness, and even worse concentraation,. There is no cure for ADD you need to learn to deal with it, excercise, eat healthy and take supplements (that are sustainable ie Hydergine, Piracetam, Deprynyl (the patch becuase it's an MAOI and only tiny amounts are safe.. my experience .. NOT WORTH IT!!!!!!!!! IF you NEED to pass the final and are doing it maybe a few times a year in small doses (ritalin etc NOT STREET METH) after that it just causes problems, EXTREME MODERATION. Also I believe that more than 90% of people who get "ADD MEDS" DO NOT HAVE ADD, nor is ADD some terrible thing more a personality trait that you learn to live with. I fugred maybe I shouldn't go into computer science with all the math and went for CIS/Business instead because of my "ADD" and the pressure to take pills to do great in class (yes all 100 % that semester, not worth it )... ... grammar nazi's .. STFU! AND TO THINK LITTLE KIDS are given class 11 drugs EVERY DAY .... FOR YEARS. THIS CAUSES SERIOUS MENATAL PROBLEMS, a m8 of mine took dexedrine from age 9 -18 , the dr. recomended it so he would be "more like the other kids" ... a shame..

  24. Re:OK, fine... on gNewSense Distro Frees Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    Yeah, NVidia and Adobe are really feeling the heat to provide source code now that millions of Linux users have demonstrated that a little temporary convenience thanks to binary blobs is acceptable.

    And on the other hand, yeah, Nvidia and Adobe are *really* feeling the heat to provide source code now that some fringe distro with zero userbase (and negligible userbase potential) totally lacks drivers.

    Open source drivers would be nice, but I fail to see how this distro does anything to further that goal.

    EXACTLY.. what GOOD will come out of this? Seems like a waste of time, instead of a new distro make another one better, companies are going to ignore gNEW..whatever "nuisance" as someone said.. I want my distro to work with all the bells n' whistles
