  1. Liberal Myth on Interview with LGames' Michael Speck · · Score: 1

    The 1972 NCMDA study quote was long ago proven to be fraudulent. The NCMDA never made any such conclusions based on the BMJ findings. It is established in over a hundred lab studies that marijuana is a toxic substance.

    The British Medical journal is a laughing stock of the psuedo/'New Age' science movement. My friends dead cousin and all the half brain dead stoners I see working in the food court are all the evidence I need to know that marijuana is a poison on our society.

  2. You couldn't be more right on Interview with LGames' Michael Speck · · Score: 0, Troll

    I couldn't agree with you more. This really reflects poorly on the GNU project.

    Linking Free Software with a subculture that funds terrorists should not be tolerated.
    Marijuana causes loss of memory, exacerbates epileptic symptoms, and causes violent and irrational behaviour in people who use it habitually.

    My friends cousin was killed in college in a car accident by a driver who had smoked marijuana. He was a top notch programmer in his senior year, and had contributed code to the XFree86 project and the GNU/netBSD kernel. I think his death is a strong mesage to open sources developers on what is morale and what is subversion of a wholesome U.S. culture.

    I live in NewHampshire, so in theory if I sent a letter to the senator it would be heard. But I'm not any sort of experienced writter, especialy in regards to political writing. Are there form letters available that clearly express my/our position on this matter and are written in the language of politics? I'd be more then happy to spend the money on a stamp and envelope if such a thing was available.

    Release binaries that are intentionaly compiled to be like 25% slower then if you compiled it from source yourself.

    That way, people who just can't/won't compile something theirself can still get it, and everyone else (including those who might want to tinker with the code) will download the source.

    Doesn't it make sense to fully understand your own backyard before you start to study places we won't be going any time soon? I'm not saying it isn't worthwhile, just that there are other higher priority places to study...specificaly the system called Sol.

  14. Yes! An excellent proposal on On Asteroid Mining · · Score: 1
    This is certainly the way to go about this business. Instead of silly experiments like documenting how frogs mate in zero G (=P ) the ISS should have a priority on things such as developing refining and forging techniques in zeroG.

    Imagine how quickly and cheaply we could populate the orbits of both earth and the moon with stations for science and habitation if we didn't have the cost of tossing mass out of everyones favorite gravity well.

    The ISS coming online made a splash among geeks and the press, but the day the first space metalurgy/refinery factory comes online will be a truely exciting day indeed.

    I actualy went to highschool in NH sau16 just a few years ago...

    I have to agree that the logs should be made accesible to the parents of students. The logs are legitimate, the equipment is paid for by tax payers, making it property of the public, and is used by the children of the tax payers. If a parent wants this sort of information, there should be no problem. These schools have lots of newer equipment, and at least one CDRW drive per network that could easily be used to provide the large amount of information requested.

    I also must say that I am not suprized at the reaction by the administration. This school district in particular is just as weighed down as any of the worst in the country with small people in powerful positions...A bad combination, and in addition to that, they are largely ignorant of the workings of the digital world.
