what if you had aids, and you went to the diner and got a hamburger that not only had active levels of this anti-biotic, but was also laden with salmonella. you might very well die.
its more like a certainty. its not gonna kill 100% of the bacteria, the survivors will become resistant over a long enough period thats it.
then theres gonna be some invincible strain of ecoli, staph, and whatnot, so thats just great.
its almost as bad as those friggin anti-bacterial lotions, besides the fact that half the nation is always itching to take antibiotics, and just as eager to stop taking them as soon as they feel better, even though their doctor told them not to, because-theyre-jackasses.
or say you bought aftermarket headers exhaust and intake for your good old 96 mustang gt. then a few years later you bought a brand new 2005 gt, although the engines are the same, all those little addons wont work.
oh get real, did you actually see the images that were presented to him? they looked like toilet paper rolls in a litter box, taken with a camera phone.
they dont have to serve the customer well, they just have to adequately serve the customer as cheaply as possible, they may lose a couple customers, but they make up for it in lower overhead.
and it depends how u define good, look toward wallmart and its ilk, to see how something can output value, while not being a good thing. economically, morally and quality of life wise, for anyone but the owners.
oh please, pedantic bullshit, waa waa waa. nobody is going to kill themselves because some shithead on a forum told them to, even when the source is as credible as an anonymous coward.
GET REAL!
ps. i was going to tell you to kill yourself, but tragically, you most likely would. you see where i come from, people like you are considered a jackass.
i mostly ignore ads for pharms, usually they just make me laugh cynically, tossing in the "rare but serious side effects, including sudden death" and the like.
but some drugs, anti-depressants especially shouldnt be advertised ever, everyone feels a little depressed once in a while, and instead of treating the symptom they should treat the cause. your life sucks, change it, dont pop a pill. ssri's and especially maoi's are hard drugs, and the vast number of people taking them dont need them, the same thing with anti-anxiety, should so many people have such horrible anxiety that they cant go about day to day activities without being doped up? i mean life suddenly didnt become more stressful now that these drugs are available, if anything life is for the most part stress-free, and if people survived for 40 thousand years without these drugs, then we dont need em period.
ritalin is prescribed to children for christs sake, because their parents are too lazy to give them adequate attention, they are diagnosed with attention deficit disorder, sometimes adderall, and desoxyn are even prescribed, which are amphetamine, and meth-amphetamine respectively. ritalin is also a cns stimulant, very similar pharmacologically to amphetamines. is this what we want in our children?
then theres the weight loss supplements that masquerade as prescription drugs, with some silly name that to an ignoramus, might appear to be proprietary trademark for a chemical compound.
then they make ridiculous claims on the cause of obesity, such as body fat can increase from having children, getting older, stress at work, lack of exercise. with an animated image of a person getting fat. and since the vast majority of the population are so stupid and lazy that they say, yea your right its not my fault im fat, im just fat because im old and stressed out, and i had too many damn kids. ill gladly spend 100 dollars on a 30 day supply of caffiene and aspirin, i especially trust this product, because its now available without a prescription. which implies it was once only available by a prescription, which it wasnt.
now this product might be infinitely safer than most prescription drugs, but its still misleading, and since its not actually a drug, its considered a supplement they can make claims as outrageous as they want as long as they mention that these statements have not been evaluated by the fda. and also god only knows whats in it, that 250mg of proprietary blend might just be lettuce for all we know.
seriously there is a much more serious problem here, in the past people would drink and smoke pot among other things if they felt they needed a break, now they take hard hard drugs daily. this is a relatively recent change too, the last 50 years, since doctors started prescribing amphetamines to house wives, that was the beginning.
the point hes trying to make is that they never wouldve bought it. when people only make 2000 us dollars a year they cant afford to spend 50 dollars on a game. so its not like they wouldve payed for the software had it not been cracked, so sony didnt lose anything, infact they sold some extra hardware that otherwise wouldnt have been sold. and probably a few extra games too, when they got old and cheap, possibly who knows.
i know lots of art students that had pirated copies of photoshop, does that mean that adobe lost money? no, these people could never afford to pay 600 dollars for the program. adobe lost nothing, now that they are succesfull graphic artists, what program do they use and pay for, adobe photoshop.
well the problem is, at least in the us that the majority of legislation doesnt represent the people it represents corporatations and private interest groups. compare this public healthcare vs corporate welfare. i have no firm numbers but i suspect that the majority would support the former.
like corporations passing the taxes down onto the shareholders, since they have to pay tax on any capital gains, why should the corporate entity pay taxes as well. thats double taxation, yes, so there is a system that allows them to be exempt. i think the law that shouldve been passed is that shareholders shouldnt have to pay taxes on capital gains from investments. that wouldve directly helped the people as opposed to the corporation. while either way the shareholders are benefiting, they would benefit more had they simply not had to claim capital gains on investments. corporations can amorticize all losses while the average joe does not. the average joe buys a brand new car, and it loses half its value the first year, a corporation can deduct that networth loss. etc etc etc.
the frown is because of menstrual blood, which was from the article you posted, and it was smeared on somebodies face.
thats just plain disgusting, and unacceptable.
if a teacher in a school did that to a child who misbehaved, that would most certainly be considered abuse.
its the same principle because these people are merely being detained, its like a cop pulls you over and suspects that you are doing something illegal, he can detain you until he can get get a warrant for further search, and during this time he rubs menstrual blood on your face.
how about a quality lightgun game, with a quality arcade style lightgun that is both accurate, and recoils. not lame rumble, recoil like time crisis.
i like 2 player games, preferably playable on the same screen, although split screen is ok. but with a little depth. remember tmnt 2 the arcade game, for nintendo, and the manhattan project. battletoads, etc.
smash brothers, power stone, worms.
nintendo has it right, how about similar games geared towards an older audience, with lots of gore, and realistic graphics. poof its a hit.
not innovative at all, derivitive and fun. thats the ticket.
well its a nice idea if they supported their product for multiple os's. or even continued support for aging hardware which seems to be a rarity these days.
also corporate execs would poo-poo that idea anyway, bc nobody would ever have to upgrade, unless they charged money for the new driver. that would be profitable.
well actually the e4300 has a 9x multiplier, so you would only need ddr2 800, or pc6400 ram to run it at 3600 mhz. which currently runs about 20-30 dollars more than pc5300 for 2 gigs, which is the minimum required for an e6600 for example which itself costs roughly 150 dollars more than the e4300, and only operates at 2.4ghz.
now say you bought the cheapest lga775 mobo you could find that supported ddr2 memory and a 266mhz fsb. maybe 50 bucks for a pos with integrated video and no expandability. fine. but for 90 dollars you can get a decently overclockable board, that will exceed the overclocking ability of your chip, and you can run any conroe at up to 3ghz on the stock cooler. so ill be conservative and say for less than 100 dollars more, you can get performance that exceeds that of the 6800 extreme edition.
so to reiterate
cheap pos mobo $50 e6600 $315 2gb pc 5300 $175 all else equal running at 2.4ghz no expandability for video and whatnot 540 dollars
asus p5b $130 e4300 $190 2gb pc 6400 $220 tuniq tower heatsink $60 all else being equal, with a pci-e 16 graphics slot. running at 3.6ghz at lower temps than a stock e6600, idle and loaded. for only 600, or 60 dollars more.
im going to file a patent for cake, and say i just asked teachers what they liked and they claimed that they were used to eating cake, so i made this confection that is much like cake, but entirely different, and innovative.
the original quake was supposed to be an rpg. i dont think theyll stray too far from the mold, but it would be cool to have a new fps with rpg elements, system shockish and such.
maybe a mmofps with a persistent world, and missions and shit. that would be money.
theres one mmorpg coming out called conan and its going to have a combat system more like diablo than eq and its ilk. id like to see the same thing in an fps, maybe a deus ex mmo, that would be sick, since it doesnt totally eliminate the players skill.

they just arent backwards compatable
much better analogy.
oh get real, did you actually see the images that were presented to him? they looked like toilet paper rolls in a litter box, taken with a camera phone.
yep thats enough evidence for me, to arms to arms
i think this post was meant for a different article and thread...
watch me get modded offtopic or something

this phenomena was mentioned in the movie waking life, i have no idea if its fact or fiction though.

dont do drugs
flame mode on!
im jk i thought your comment was funny.
most of these petroleum hydrocarbons are extremely powerful solvents.
so unless they are making methane, which lots of bacteria already do then im not quite sure what this is about.
the point hes trying to make is that they never wouldve bought it. when people only make 2000 us dollars a year they cant afford to spend 50 dollars on a game. so its not like they wouldve payed for the software had it not been cracked, so sony didnt lose anything, infact they sold some extra hardware that otherwise wouldnt have been sold. and probably a few extra games too, when they got old and cheap, possibly who knows.

not exactly the same thing, but similar.
lol i wonder if you can get a wifi signal outside of microsofts hq, it would be funny to do a little drive by and dump it over thier own network.
lol 50% funny and insightful would be appropriate i figures

also corporate execs would poo-poo that idea anyway, bc nobody would ever have to upgrade, unless they charged money for the new driver. that would be profitable.
no hes technically correct.
but its actually just a poorly veiled excuse for being a pedantic troll.
seriously i hate those guys.
