That was my thinking. This would likely limit who could testify as an expert witness. Thinking of it as a government certification program might be more appropriate.
This is going to be what kills them. In the late 80s through the mid 90s they signed a lot of people from the punk and hip hop world without understand a thing about who they were. There are some people it's just not smart to screw over because they will make your life a living hell. I'm willing to bet Chuck D is such a person.
Maybe three or four, but not enough for a "greatest hits" album. That definitely contributed to the absurdity. The major label release was padded with the singles from the later albums whereas the band's was padded with songs that are staples form their lives shows, the ones fans actually want to hear.
Here's a writeup of the whole thing. It's really fucking funny.
After dropping them from the label, virgin records put out a "greatest hits" album for Cracker without bothering to even consult with the band on song selection. The band responded by making new recordings of all their classics and releasing their own greatest hits album on the exact same day as the label. Theirs sold much better.
there is no reason to think that iran was ever after more than nuclear power. They just wanted actual modern technology and not the 1950s designs like we're using. Since they were trying to acquire heavy water, I'm guessing they were trying to make something similar to the CANDU reactors in use in India and Pakistan.
if the continued use of fossil fuels is going to lead to the end of all life on earth anyway, who cares? Better risk making parts of the planet uninhabitable than to make all of it uninhabitable.
If we attempted to have any kind of nuclear fuel cycle like most other countries do, it wouldn't be a problem. Thanks to the glories of power deregulation, a lot of the same interests are heavily invested in both the nuclear power industry and the nuclear fuel industry. A more efficient fuel cycle would be less money into their pockets.
Check out what Canada has been hooking the rest of the world up with since the 1960s while we've been using upscaled submarine power plants:
I've done the addiction thing before and am as scared as hell of going there again. I take a few days off every now and then just to make sure. The biggest difference is that it's a lot harder to sleep without amphetamines.
Desoxyn is almost never used anymore, FWIW. No pharmacy keeps it in stock and any MD who prescribes it has a good chance of being investigated.
That's really a shame because for people who have both chronic ADD and chronic anxiety it's often the best thing to take, as I understand it. The lack of side effects is also what increases the abuse potential. If you take ten times the average therapeutic dose of Ritalin you'll be as sick as a dog. If you take ten times the therapeutic dose of Desoxyn you'll be a typical meth abuser.
There's a whole lot more to ADD than attention and not all of it is negative. I can't do just one thing at a time. Some people say I'm easily distracted because I can't be productive unless I'm also playing nethack and listening to NPR at the same time. I'm not distracted, i'm just letting the other task cook for a bit.
It was the virtual desktop paradigm that sold me on linux.
It's the impurities resulting from home manufacturing methods that cause most of the problems you hear about. Plus, the therapeutic doses used in psychiatry are hundreds of times smaller than those used recreationaly. Speaking as someone who has taken Dexedrine every day for ADD for fifteen years, I can tell you that I get more of a buzz and more side effects from a double espresso. If i were to snort a whole month's worth at a time, on the other hand, I'd probably have some nasty side effects.
There is a world of difference between responsible use of stimulants for psychiatric purposes or even for cognitive enhancement and abusing them to get fucked up. At small doses cognitive functioning is enhanced and high doses it's inebriating. It's the difference between a cup of coffee and a box of no-doze.
There are tenure track jobs available for maybe 5% of new philosophy phds. Otherwise you spend years in the brutal world of publish or parish, moving from state to state taking short term jobs at community colleges while trying to pay of tens of thousands of dollars in student loans.
This is why so many people with philosophy degrees end up doing geekwork. It pays the bills.
I think part of why libertarianism is so popular in IT geek circles is because you don't have to study history to become a network admin.
In the early days of the net and computing, the hard left had a stronger presence than the right. The Well started as practically a project in techno-utopianism. People like stallman were the norm. I don't know wtf happened. It might have had to do with the Clinton administration embracing corporate interests and passing the first wave of "think of the children" acts. Or maybe people just figured out there's money to be made in IT and the vultures descended.
right. obviously I'm speaking of domestic policy only. states have no right to engage in international affairs.
My greater point was that the state/federal dichotomy is supposed to provide a form of checks and balances like we see with the executive/legislative/judicial split. Specific reserved and delegated powers don't really enter into it.
What annoys me is when Libertarians call for a return to constitutional values when really they are going against the stated intentions of the founders. They should be honest and call for a new constitutional convention.
It doesn't matter if you do or not. What matters is that the framers did. John Locke's model of the social contract is the basis of American Government.

Also included is david lowry's retelling of how they got dropped, it ain't gonna suck itself.
Right. They came up with a vaccine for sex too. It's called female circumcision.

To anyone who has ever smoked an unfiltered gauloises, the reason for this should be obvious.

Welcome to corporate fascism. I hope the libertarians are happy.
why run a release? At any point testing is more stable than most of Ubuntu, which is based on a snapshot of unstable.
just use debian. It's the same thing only the emphasis is on the code and technical perfection, not the eyecandy
compared to a Goldwing that's a deal

Are you kidding me?

If it's used for heat, is it still a light or is it a heater that puts off light as a byproduct?
OK. I disagree, but that's valid.
What annoys me is when Libertarians call for a return to constitutional values when really they are going against the stated intentions of the founders. They should be honest and call for a new constitutional convention.
I'm sympathetic to this. I have sensory issues similar to what is frequent with aspies, and likely have a touch of asperger's myself.
You'll still be able to get halogens which are probobly what I'll be using until LED technology matures a bit more.
Induction lamps look promising but I've not tried them.

Actually, it's most likely related to DRD4 polymorphism. It could well have been an evolutionary advantage in a different culture.
