    Yes, they just didn't function. Kinda like before antibiotics, people with serious infections just died.

    Sure, there are abuses, and it's over-prescribed. However, there are people who actually do need it to function well and they should be able to get it. The DEA needs to butt out of medical practice.

    Citation please.

  3. Who produced/directed/edited this? on How Much Stuff Can Timothy Jam Into His New Hoodie's Pockets? (Video) · · Score: 1

    Tell them it is terrible and to never use a video camera again. What was with the music? Audio was fantastic too.

  4. Re:Completely wrong impression on Aussie City Braces For Worst Flood In 118 Years · · Score: 1

    I kind of agree. I can't wait to not see the huge donations made from the big mining companies. Hopefully they will prove me wrong and will give a considerable chunk of their profits to the state that they made their money from.

    I reckon. Like how you can use all the features of Outlook Web Access from any browser.

  6. Re:make 4 kids share 1, and they teach themselves on Some Aussie High Schools Moving To Two Devices Per Child · · Score: 1

    Yeah! So we need to reduce the amount of computers they have access to.
    Our education system here in Australia is messed up. Thanks to John Howard our private schools receive excessive government contributions compared to other countries. While our public schools receive a low contribution from the government in comparison.
    Then people come up with "great" ideas like spending that dismal amount of money on giving more distractions to students, rather than fixing the schools.
    Keep it up Australia!

    Yeah, stop using silly oddball formats like ogg and FLAC!

    MythTV is terrible. I especially hate Mythweb... all the nice access to my MythTV setup via HTTPS with a pretty damn useful web interface. I hate being able to start the recording of TV shows using my phone. It's really really terrible.

  8. Re:Based on what I saw in the article on Apple vs. Google TVs · · Score: 1

    Did mldi say somethings about recording with MythTV? They did say something about playing MythTV recorded content. Maybe I just can't read good.

    How is the parent comment interesting?

    The child-driven education
    As long as they have access to information especially access to the internet they will learn a lot. That video IS interesting.

    How is that insightful? Let me direct you to Stephen Fry talking about this exact argument: Stephen Fry on the Joys of Swearing

    P.S. You're a dickhead.

  11. Re:More anti-3D trolling on The Joke Known As 3D TV · · Score: 1

    You do know that all the high end range of LCD TVs are also "3D". So, I don't have the ability to purchase a high end TV without purchasing one with "3D."

  12. Re:Why really does Apple behave this way? on iPhone App In App Store Limbo Open Sourced · · Score: 1

    Yeah, Apple products are pretty good but are they really worthy of people lining up on release day? The majority of their products are very often inferior to cheaper options. I have never understood the complete obsession with Apple products. They really aren't that good when you take into account similar products by other companies.

    Well I'd say there is less. The bible isn't historical evidence at all.

    Lucky for God there is no evidence that Jesus ever existed! Even luckier is that there is no evidence God exists! There is no way he could have been a paedophile then. Hoorah!

  16. I like having good eyesight! on 3D Displays May Be Hazardous To Young Children · · Score: 1

    I have no idea whether "3D" videos will damage my eyesight but I know I enjoy my eyesight, so I'm not going to take the chance until there is more evidence that it is not bad. I couldn't really care less if the video I'm watching is not in 3D. As a matter of fact I don't really care if it's in HD. I just want it to be enjoyable.

  17. Re:Well, no shit on Home Computers Equal Lower Test Scores · · Score: 1

    Yes, misrepresented as fact. Therefore not fact.

  18. Re:Well, no shit on Home Computers Equal Lower Test Scores · · Score: 1

    By saying the facts are highly questionable means that they are most likely not facts. It can be believed that they are facts, but they aren't facts. You don't even need to prove or disprove for them to be a fact or not. If it's not a fact it's not a fact.
    Mistaken Fact or False Fact is an oxymoron.

    What the hell is a false fact? Guess what... it's not a fact.

    Here is a fact for you: Your mum has a vagina.
    Do I believe that to be correct? Yes, I most certainly do.
    If it was not my belief would it still be a fact? Hell yes.

  20. Re:Well, no shit on Home Computers Equal Lower Test Scores · · Score: 1

    Just to repeat what everyone else is saying. A fact is a fact. You can believe that a fact is not a fact. Doesn't stop making it fact.
    Like how I say "There is no god" and a religious person says "That is your opinion."
    No, it's not my opinion, it is fact. It is their opinion that a God exists but science shows this is utter rubbish and is not fact.

    Nick Xenophon is far from useless. He withdrew all support for the filter. He was originally willing to support it in the hopes it would block gambling websites.

    He also said that someone who lived around the corner from him was made up by the opposition party to post comments on a news website opposing his policies. He then had to eat his words again and meet the "imaginary" person.
