As a matter of fact, I do carry an FCC General Combustophone Operator License and am certified for 3 types of fires with clouds exceeding 500 Kilo-cubic meters of output.
Great. Just wait until the phone companies use this as a hack for when they refuse to upgrade towers and other infrastructure. Battery life suffers, data anonymity suffers, service suffers. It'll all be in the contract and there won't be a damn thing we could do about it...except go back to smoke signals.
I wasn't aware that the book publishing industry was swimming in as much cash as Hollywood or Microsoft...
I'm not even going to look for the profits of the big four textbook publishers. Paying over two-hundred bucks for a text and only getting fifty back from the bookstore(even if the book is unmarked and in pristine condition) while educational institutions' staff often collude and require the latest edition (which only switches around a couple chapters and problems). That is fucking dirty, dirty shit on both sides. They can go fuck themselves.
Okay, so that is just the worst-case scenario (damed if I buy books that way, if at all), but it happens often. I'm all for ending those ridiculous text fees for students. And your voting comment is ridiculous (no need to explain why) -- you must not be from the U.S.
Obama claims to want to bolster educational aid and I think that's a magnificent idea - but only time will tell if he's able to accomplish this or if it's just feel-good bullshit. Pardon the passion, I'm just living that reality right now. Fortunately, there are plenty of good torrents out there...
Honestly, the only game I'm looking forward to is Diablo3. Even then, my nVidia 8800GT card should be more than sufficient. If not, it would be games like these that will send me over to Newegg to make a purchase.
Recent games are just re-hashes of stale material (or otherwise lacking in storytelling) with emphasis on eye candy to make people continue to buy the latest graphics hardware. The true "good enough"-ers probably don't give a shit about Space Marines and Zombies 10.
Probably waiting for a future in which computers are just big FGPAs and SoCs defined entirely by their firmware, with peripheral jacks soldered to their pins.
Exactly. This already came up here fairly recently.
First, the service better be free. No way in hell I'm going to pay an AV vendor to do their job for them. Second, what if malware lifts credit cards and passwords are from my computer? Will enough info be relayed to the good guys before my identity is stolen? Third, malware authors will become savvy, cat-and-mouse game, etc.

There's something tragically funny about dying from smoking and then ending up as a pile of ashes.
Smoking is actually a pretty cool way to die. At least it wasn't from something lame like WoW addiction or an 8U rack falling on his head.
Only the rich kids are able to buy their own shiny new overpriced books, especially in this economy.
The rest of us may choose to add to the scrawlings already written in our moldy piss-stained second editions when we're not consulting the handful of pirated PDF's and HTML help files.
Tux sux, I agree, but I'll never forgive the *nix weenies for turning something as cool as the devil into this.
At least the individual distros have cool logos (Red Hat, Ubuntu, SuSe for example) and the FreeBSD and NetBSD logos are pretty good. The OpenBSD logo just looks like a fat stoner holding in a bong hit.
Metallica's bed-wetting cowardly lion of a frontman James Hettfield famously confessed that he used to crash on friends' couches and stay up all night copying his friends' tapes.
You know, the Metallica that helped kill the original Napster many years later?
Many of us have friends who are interested in motorsports and the tricking-out of vehicles, and shop-talk is necessary to communicate with them.
Pardon the stereotype, but getting in tough with one's inner neanderthal is required when you're out in the desert driving metal boxes at unsafe velocities and sending search parties to other camps for loud slaps on the back before grilling fat steaks and singing war songs. Gasoline smells GOOOOOOOD.
Most importantly - know, befriend, or become an auto mechanic. They're interesting company and they'll work for parts and a 12-pack.
I don't know much technical details, but I know of this one because I've taken it. From the article:
Seroquel...an atypical antipsychotic...sometimes used off-label...to treat such conditions as obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, restless legs syndrome, autism, alcoholism, depression...and has been used by physicians as a sedative for those with sleep disorders or anxiety disorders.
Take a look at that. Sleep is a key point, if not the key point of many of the disorders listed above. Even alcoholism, because alcohol prevents good sleep. You take the drug so that you pass out before you reach for the bottle. The good sleep alleviates symptoms which cause one to reach for the bottle in the first place. So on and so forth.
Taking the drug is exactly like slipping into the relief of a hypnagogic state.

Not when only 34 of them are actually communicating with you, not on a personal level or even in real time.

That was around the time they first figured out how to make smoke and crack rocks.

Hey, now. 7 runs much more smoothly than Vista - they used lube this time.
It's just yet another technology invented in a lab for academics' sake.
We've had items these and lots of protocols related to this for years now.

Wyoming is the home state of Dick Cheney, so TFA is no surprise.
The miscarriage of justice is the fact that Dick hasn't been rounded up and shot in the face with a 12 gauge shotgun. At point-blank range.
That's the problem. The perceived non-lethality of the weapons causes police to use them more recklessly and with much greater frequency.

Herman Melville was a loud-mouthed pratt who only wrote those books because he liked to hear himself talk.
Chatty ain't always bad. Hunter S. Thompson can pull it off, Ellen Degeneres can't.
That's how its supposed to be, English 101 is not a creative writing class.
Damn shame though. Style takes the pain out of the tedium of writing.
I think you're right. Many of the newer antipsychotics are basically glorified sleeping pills and are often off-prescribed as sleep aids.
