Well here in Canada there are quite a few limits on advertising tobacco and alcohol products, just have to extend this to other drugs. And as for growing a bit, once again have it just like alcohol. Here you are allowed to brew X amount of beer and make X amount of wine. Should be the same with pot, only allowed to grow a few plants at a time. This has the added benefit of reducing the black market which is where most of the problems with drugs come from. Also note that under the current system it is way easier for kids to get the illegal drugs then the legal ones (excepting coffee).
I think that most people when talking about legalizing drugs mean legalize in the sense that alcohol and tobacco are legal. eg age limits, limits on operating heavy machinery like cars etc.
Of course licenses like the GPL allow the copyright holder to do what ever they want with the code. I've personally asked authors of GPL works to relicense their work (source code was lost and I wanted to redistribute) and they have. Besides would it really matter very much if Linux ver 1.0 was now in the public domain? GPL works like all other works are built on preexisting ideas and sometimes code that was freely licensed or not even licensed (public domain) and then tied up with copyright and restrictive licenses so that copyright should run out in a decent time interval.
I didn't actually DL the pdf, 8 MBs on dialup is just too much. Still if the ballot is that big and has 90 separate contests on it how the hell are people supposed to make an informed choice, I mean 90 informed choices?
I disagree - those murderers put to death are *guaranteed* not to hurt anyone else ever again, in prison or society. As regards preventative value, I'll defer to those who have studied it in detail, but for the individuals put to death, it's most definitely effective at preventing recidivism. Unluckily often the person put to death is the wrong one and the real murderer is free to murder again.
I think all MS did was hardcode a couple of DLLs to load in high memory. So all they would have to do is recompile the DLLs to load at any address. Quite often on OS/2 you could get WINS32 1.30 apps to run fine if you used a couple of DLLs from WINS32v1.25
Yes, a couple of minutes on google shows that I misremembered. Wonder if heads rolled at PM after publishing the 'New Million- Dollar crop'? I didn't even realize that PM was owned by Hearst though it makes sense. Also makes sense that he couldn't personally keep up with what every one of his magazines was publishing and probably thought of PM as being nonpolitical.
While what you say is true (though I thought Anslinger was related to Hearst) the other part of the equation was that there was a large bureaucracy with nothing to do after prohibition ended and drug prohibition allowed them to continue interfering with peoples lives.
Personally I think he should always be moderated troll due to the siq. Trolling is trolling whether due to the message or siq. I am lucky, being on dialup I clicked his siq and as soon as I saw the text goatse I closed the tab. In a different article someone mentioned how they clicked it at work and were really worried about being fired for browsing goatse. This is one of the best examples of trolling I have come across. And mods, not only have I turned of my karma bonus but this is on topic as we are talking about a real troll who is posting repeatlly.
You could put a few icons on the desktop linked to lets say wget scripts to download the browser. I also doubt that anyone would complain about a simple browser being bundled.
One. If owner of large transmitter plays their cards right they can cancel out your low powered transmission. eg adding the inverse of your signal to their signal. Two. So you're saying instead of competing about who can afford the biggest transmitters it will be who can afford the best lawyers over the longest term? Either way it seems large corporation has the advantage.
I really feel that owning a gun is like driving a car. You should have to show some competence before being allowed to do either. I've had to many bullets go by close enough to hear due to idiots not knowing the basics eg know where that bullet is going to go.
Used to be that when you signed up with an ISP you got a CD with various internet apps on it. Also I'd imagine that PC manufacturers would happily install a browser before selling you the computer. Anyways the problem wasn't so much including a browser but tying it so deep into the OS and being nonstandard enough that it got to the point where surfing the net with any other browser was painful as so many sites were IE only
You do realize that Iran is a democracy right? It does have a somewhat weird voting system but if the people are not happy with their government they should be able to change it in 10 or 12 years (legislature voted in for 4 years, assembly of experts voted in for 8 years so change might be a little slower). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_and_Government_of_Iran
Seems to me that undo close tab has been in firefox trunk for a while. Not sure as I find firefox to slow here and don't use it much. I do know it is in Seamonkey trunk. Just right click a tab and pick undo close tab. Also under File is Recently closed tabs that here show the last 3 closed tabs.
Yea, thats the problem with free trade and open borders. We give you pot and you give us guns. But seriously this could be easily solved by legalizing the drugs therefore putting the black market out of business.
How many municipalities have their own police force? Here in BC most all use the RCMP. I can only think of 3 places with their own police force, Vancouver, Abbotsford and I think Port Moody.

Are dsl Routers really useless until grandma logs in and sets it up? Perhaps they should come with port 80 open out of the box?

Then it comes down to who can afford umpteen gigawatts of broadcast power. Pretty hard for the common person to compete.
Politics, by splitting Dakota in two they got twice as many senators.

Tinyurl now has a preview feature http://tinyurl.com/preview.php needs a cookie though.
Nice to see that url expands to goatse.cx or wherever.
Actually I think it just caches the password for a while (5 minutes?) this can be changed though quite possibly there might not be a GUI app to do it.
You mean like Hale-Bopp in 1995? http://cometography.com/lcomets/1995o1.html. The great comet of 1811 was another one.
More then I thought though after posting I did wonder about the Island.
Still a lot of communities served by the RCMP
