Publishers shouldn't censor, they should just publish.
Damn straight.
And on that subject, don't miss the newest issue of Elsevier's Journal of Holistic Electromagnetic Medicine, where my peer-reviewed article "Correlation Between H1N1 Swine Flu Propagation and Near-Field WiFi Radiation from Linux-Based Routers" just came out. I understand it's already garnering favorable attention in Stockholm.
Apple is starting to sound like Sony, where two (or more) competing ideologies threaten to drag the entire company down. Jobs needs to issue a set of objective, fair guidelines that apply across ALL content Apple sells on ALL of its storefronts. And yes, those guidelines need to come from His Steveness Himself, so that random lackeys in the App Store aren't left making judgment calls on the company's strategic direction.
This really is pretty outrageous; if you've seen the advance publicity for the NIN app, you'd probably agree that it was looking impressive as hell.
Too awkward to compose a URL at the moment, but if you're a pro or more-advanced hobbyist you should google the 555 chip's designer, Hans Camendzind . He released a nifty book on basic analog IC design that never got the attention it deserved IMHO. I believe it's downloadable as a PDF from his site.
From the summary: "James Cameron's first movie since 'Titanic', his upcoming science fiction epic 'Avatar', has a budget pushing US$200 million and enough hype to power a mission to Mars.
That's true; you really can put stuff on Mars for $200M. Which would be a lot more interesting than yet another failed gimmick flick. If James Cameron were to offer sponsorships for a private Mars mission, it'd probably be more profitable than this movie will be.
You should try the Jaadu VNC app for the iPhone. I've never used Samsung's VNC client but I seriously doubt it would be in the same ballpark as Jaadu's iPhone client.
Modafinil (Provigil), on the other hand, has only been around for about a decade
If "a decade" can be defined as "since the 1970s," yes.
and has had limited use. We already know about some serious side-effects of Provigil that aren't associated with caffeine
Six cases of itchy, itchy rash, in nine years? Zero fatal overdoses on record? The only reason caffeine doesn't have similar side-effect reports is that no one bothers to collect them.
Meanwhile, it's safe to say a few people died on the highway last night because the stuff isn't sold in every truck stop in America.
The above summary makes it sound as if anyone can go to their physician and ask for Adderall or Provigil to enhance their study routine. As a physician myself, this is simply not the case.
As a physician you should also be aware of the difference between a Schedule II (Adderall) and Schedule IV (Provigil) substance. Provigil is literally safer than caffeine. Adderall is not.
No, there's no possibility of baldness treatments or cancer cures this time; however, Scientists Say the New Discovery Could Result in the Creation of Faster Microprocessors(tm).
(What, they didn't say that this time? Somebody in the university's PR department must've dropped the ball.)
Why in the world would you suggest government subsidies? The existing telcom companies were subsidized. It obviously didn't help. Even though they are gouging the public with infrastructure built with the public's own money, no one seems interested in holding them accountable.
I hate to say this, because we're full already, but you'd probably like Seattle. It's laid-back without being stultifying. We have most of the intellectual and cultural amenities you'd find in the LA area, but everybody drives like they're on the way to a tax audit.
That's not what is being discussed. The question is, in context of the legal arguments taking place in places such as California currently, whether it is to society's best interest to extend tax and other benefits to gay pairings.
Civil rights do not accrue to "society." They accrue to individuals, and they are not subject to popular consensus.
Separate is not equal. This argument happened before, and just as in that case, there are people who are clearly on the right side of it, and people who are clearly on the wrong side.
This will only create more business opportunities for other people to sell what Amazon doesn't. The barrier of entry into book selling online is very low. Everyone who whines and screams right now should be registering domains and dusting their LAMPs off.
Damn straight. This is America. We don't have an oppressive government, right? When one major corporate vendor drops you, you just pick yourself up by your own bootstraps and start a new store yourself. "Find a need and fill it," as Henry Ford and Ron Jeremy would no doubt agree.
So I'll just crank up my Linux/Apache skills and launch a storefront for erotica and other adult content, just like you're saying. Never mind Amazon Payments, I'll accept PayPal instead, and... wait, what?
You mean that any sufficiently-entrenched oligopoly is indistinguishable from an oppressive government?
My boss got fired after he walked past his secretary and she smelled alcohol on his breath and reported that as sexual harassment. From beer. His friends took him out for his birthday during lunch.
ROFL. OK, let's hear her version of the story now.
What theories do you have about why Microsoft allowed the failure to happen? Has Microsoft become unable to function?
It goes to the top. Until the board comes to its senses and gets rid of Ballmer, Microsoft is going to continue its slow, steady slouch toward...... well, toward a lucrative government bailout.

Wasn't apple lambasted for allowing a "Baby Shaking" app into the App Store? What church going crowd appreciates that again??
The 54% of church-goers who approve of torture?
Apple sells The Downward Spiral on iTunes!

If you remember the purpose of newspapers, and journalists generally is to "Comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable"
And here I was thinking it was to "Report the news."
I guess that's why my newspaper subscription expired last week.
Yep, and I also misspelled his name with an extra 'd'.

But nobody seems to get that.
Read some of President Washington's work and tell me how ANYTHING from the last 8 years even remotely comes close to the Framer's
vision!?!?
These would be the same Framers who owned slaves?

what the difference between prescription amphetamines (Ritalin, Adderall, Modafinil)
One of these things is not like the other.
Provigil is not an amphetamine, or anything like it. It's caffeine++, nothing more and nothing less.

hey, how about this: YOU are responsible for your security
you, and you alone
Except where private ownership of firearms is concerned, though, right?
At least that's the impression I've gotten from your last 5 years' worth of posts on K5.
Why in the world would you suggest government subsidies? The existing telcom companies were subsidized. It obviously didn't help. Even though they are gouging the public with infrastructure built with the public's own money, no one seems interested in holding them accountable.
Let's try capitalism for a change.
I probably wasn't clear enough: "Driving like they're on their way to a tax audit" means "No, no, I'm not in a hurry, you go first."

How is it racist? I didn't say anything about anyone's race, only their culture, which is broken.
Which is great; more power to 'em.
