People see alot of addiction sometimes, but that's really the biological result of many effective drugs by the way they alter neurotransmitter flow. You saturate a receptor because your body's not doing enough of it or something, and then your body stops producing the chemical altogether since you're now giving ample supply.
The part about them encouraging doctors to prescribe their medications via incentives at times is something I wouldn't agree with at all though. medication might be needed sometimes, but it's much more rare than it's given out now. I feel as though I could think up a phrase to get prescribed anything, and I think people subconciously (or conciously) do this often too.
Besides, people don't need to buy the medications if they don't want to. It's not the drug company's fault in the extreme, since when you know something is wrong with you, wouldn't you consider it your one and only duty to find out what it is and how you need to cope with it most effectively? Lack of critical thinking by consumers is what causes this.
Well, I was down in Virginia last weekend, on an unknown wireless network, when I received the error "Comcast does not support the operating system you are running", with a tech support number. That's all I could get on my web browser. Rather odd, I thought all these protocols were standard, up until.. well, this weekend..
Perhaps your biological urge has been suppressed by the conditioning of society, much like other "instinctual" urges that we have been trained to put down (anger? "Dominance"?).
The question, as well, isn't what you have to hide, it's what they're doing with the information. I don't want my bank account / e-mails / etc becoming just other ways for the "Corporate Government" we have right now to start taking advantage of me. I'd rather know that the world is still operating by some face-to-face respectful standards, than have myself drug in the street and cut open to see if I've bomb.
You know, this reeks of youtube vs viacom. This guy is posting the letter on his site, which he didn't write, but yet he has ads. I sure hope he's sending Moses and Singer the revenue! This guy's a blatant pirate!

Quick! Shoot this grain of salt before the information gets to your brain!
You know, the more you try to restrict someone from doing something, the more they want to do it. Furthermore, parents should realize that kids don't learn entirely from advice. They learn from failure many times, just as their parents had. I don't know if this would be a better or worse world if everyone actually took advice seriously, but that's dependant upon the people that mould it then. I think the extent that these things are starting to show up on the 'net is a little bit alarming..
I guess the thing that gets to me nowadays is the amount of "disinformation" in the world. I don't know what to believe anymore on most political levels, business levels, and lately social levels, as the world becomes more cut throat, all the more I feel as though I'm stuck sitting in a chair facing The Wall.
Maybe this is for the better though, perhaps less people will use MySpace. Any page I've seen on there thus far is a horrible display of layout and "crap" that is supposed to represent someone's inner being.. cute, huh? These kids need to start learning to create some real, meaningful content:)
Yeah, you're right here in that no matter where you get it from, torrent or straight from a server, it's still going to take ALOT of extremely unnecessary bandwidth to do this, on either a client or server side. They already speak of the state of the internet becoming bandwidth critical as we use more video online, why would anyone ever propose this?
Although the CT Scan would be useful, you need to remember. Your friend has a brain tumor. They operate, and remove it successfully, and close the opening. At this point, you wait, and pray that there's no clotting. Perhaps if this probe could be attached (I don't see why not), for a night after surgery, if clotting starts, the surgeon could get a much faster start on the patient, rather than waiting for "symptoms" to occur. A CT Scan can be useful in determining a problem, but the constant monitoring is useful for a separate scenario.
Well, as they said yesterday, who wanted to wait a whole 24 hours for this one to happen?:) Score: HD-DVD DRM: 0 Crackers: 2

I use XP and OpenBSD. Yesterday, I had a problem with AVG Antivirus (the free one for windows), so I tried to reinstall, but the uninstaller failed. I then had to go searching through my registry for about an hour (and I'm incredibly skilled with knowing windows locations), to remove probably about 100 links total. Had this happened on openbsd, worst case.. rm -rf AVG... and look for the config files and service references. Blammo! I don't have to search in 10 different registry places for obscurely hex-value named keys. However, I am new to openbsd, I'll admit. And from what I hear, my upgrade time will not be "simple", but I think I can bear with this minimalist system much better. Of all my hardware, the only thing openbsd couldn't get going was my SLI 7900GTX PCI-E's on my new computer, but then I transferred it to my old box with a 5900 ultra and it worked fine.
I'm 22 right now, and I have to say that in the last 5 years, I've seen significant usability progress from linux variants, maybe in part due to my own understanding of it, but it seems like nowadays most fools can get at least ubuntu running with the software they need for everyday life (without spending $1k on office and vista ultimate)
If anyone likes, they may buy my old P5N-SLI (crap) before I replaced it with an AW9D-MAX. I had the P5N-SLI Faulty twice from newegg, and when I checked with the rep he had over 30 returns for just that month on the motherboard, despite the large amount of internet hype and diety praise to the motherboard. It was utter crap, and I would never buy their product again. AW9D-MAX worked great, only gripe is crossfire (hacked sli drivers), and the lack of expansion slots. but I'd gladly take that over my memory going all funky, and random blue screens very 30 minutes or so. Be very wary.

Perfect dark was also waaay awesome. possible better than halo with the option of multiplayer bots! Same creators as goldeneye.

Yeah, not as mission-critical, but veerry helpful in just keeping closer watch on common mishaps that occur afterwards.

I have a feeling that some surgeons will be sleeping alot better post-operation when they can monitor something like this more effectively.
