BTW, THC is much more soluble in fat than in EtOH. This Erowid article has good information on chemically extracting THC. I don't advocate that unless you know what the fuck you are doing. You know, something more than HS chemistry. Acetone is poisonous.
Anyway, I really do advocate that you (yes, you) smoke the sensimillia till yu eyes turn red certain. A fi bun mi sensi!
I really wish I could see "Song of The South" again... I can't remember anything racist in it. From what I can remember the black man in it was more of a stereotype of the rural South than of black people. It was a beautiful movie, with some of my favorite folk tales in it ("Brer Rabbit," especially). And the song "Zippity Doo Dah" was so awesome to watch when I was a kid. The combination of live actors with animated birds, flowers, etc. far out paces the visuals in any of Disney Corp.'s later movies. What a loss not only for children now and in the future, but for adults a well:(
At least, that is my opinion based on my childhood memory of the film. Hell, if the ACLU no longer has an opinion on it (according to Wikipedia), I can't see it being racist at all. I love the ACLU, but no one would disagree, I think, that they use a fine-grade microscope to look at most issues.
No it really isn't. There's a time to get off your ass and do something, but if it's not that time yet it is one of few ways to express such an idea. If shit gets rolling and you just sit there and complain, that's useless. Right now many could do with such an insight.
But seriously, it seems that Microsoft is going to keep after Linux until it has it surrounded on all sides. Then I suppose they'll get to a lawsuit. And, while Linux will be found to be free of MS patents, it will end up costing Microsoft's enemies so much to defend Linux that they will be forced into oblivion...

I've worked as on campus computer support for a large mid-western U, and I have to say that I have seen the faculty and staff use laptops in very creative, productive ways. We always got some sort of deal from Apple or Dell on the warranties (we bought 100s of computers from each of them) and stocked hard-drives, RAM, and other spare parts as we could. The Mac Laptops held up really well, and so did the Dells (which were more used for "wireless classrooms" -- classes with a laptop for each student).
There was the occasional computer illiterate, but most faculty/staff used their tech in ways that enriched the academic practices at the school. They often proved that what seemed like an expensive gadget could more than pay for itself.
Of course, there are the upload/download rates you are supposed to get. Otherwise, why pay for 10Mbps when they can just give you 1bps. It is a clear cut case of fraud. You pay for one thing and get another. If it's not one speed for every protocol, it's not any speed at all: it's simply their whim.
The thing that gets me is that gold is just about as arbitrary a currency as paper. You can't eat it. You can't get enough of it to build a shelter. It's not great for making basic tools. It's kinda pretty, but so what?
Whether the document is real and true or not does not matter.
On the contrary, it matters greatly. If it's not real, there is most likely not much to learn from it. Interestingly, what if this was "leaked" by the Administration? It's a very mundane document from what I have read so far...
If you can't teach your children well enough to do what you say when you aren't there, it's not anyone else's fault but your own. Either take the necessary actions to totally protect your children from teh evil intarnets or stop complaining. You could home school your children or move to a country where internet access is illegal, yet you choose not to. You and parents like you too easily sacrifice your ideals on the altar of convenience.
I don't understand why it's so hard for people to understand that violent fantasies -- not actions, but fantasies -- are therapeutic and cathartic. Dante wasn't a crazed devil because he imagined and wrote The Divine Comedy. Nor was Shakespeare because he wrote King Lear and Macbeth. Look at just about any piece of creative work and you will find violence and usually a non-psychotic who wrote it.
If the government becomes corrupt enough, they will start singling out people to track. The government of any people should never have this power. People with the "'Tracking your every move' is science fiction movies" attitude assume that government is never corrupt. Ask anyone. No government is uncorrupted. There are many alternatives besides a cash only economic paradigm.

I do advocate smoking ganja.

Why shouldn't those goals be reflected by our corporate overlords?

It's not the CEOs. It's the PR and legal depts.
I *am* the revolution. lol i dunno...
I know! If only computers never failed and were tamper proof.

IT managers point to wi-fi configuration, complicated authentication procedures, and eight other issues as making their jobs a lot harder.
Cry me a river.
Hey, thanks. That's pretty fucked up.

You can have my bandwidth when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.

Nikes??
So, in summary: "Bow down to the almighty dollar, bitches!"
He didn't really hack anything: just take advantage of others' stupidity. He's not a cracker because he wasn't being malicious.

My experience of the old VB was that it really, really deserved to die. I just wish VBA would die with it!
Amen. They should take VB.NET with 'em!

ROR. Say what you mean. There is nothing to law but collective ideas about right and wrong.
