Damn, this is terrible timing. On the weekend my lady and I were
thinking that a new pet name for my penis was due. The current
"Superfluidic Particle Accelerating Colossus" was getting a bit
stale.
The better half suggested "Superconducting Plasma Rocket
Engine". But now that that name is taken we'll have to use our second
favourite choice: "Hank".
Wait, so does that mean that in 20 years, you're going to tell us that Linux is actually made by invisible creatures that can only be detected with special equipment?
The curator at the Creationist museum already has people working on their Linux exhibit.
Do not alter your medication before discussing it with your physician. If you are having suicidal thoughts, call your physician immediately. Do not take comments on slashdot as medical advice. YMMV
Nope. Remember that different people have different 'windows'. When the bottoming out came it was pretty shitty, slept all the time, would bawl my eyes out for no reason, etc. But I wasn't seriously suicidal.
The past many years have had a few odd low ends but nothing as drastic as when I was in my late 20's. Part of the problem with the low end was self-medicating with booze or non-pharm drugs. Nowadays if I feel even remotely bummed out I won't touch a drop of booze, it may not make things necessarily rosey right away but it won't lower me further into the pit.
When I spoke with the doc I told her my concerns. Things/answers/analysis/even jokes which would have come to me in a flash actually took mental work. Maybe it's parallel to how Alzheimer's patients start to feel, hope I never know.
In any case, the high end isn't usually the problem, it's the bottoming out that comes. I take reasonable care of myself and overall it's worked out well. Hey, I've just had the past 15 years virtually med free. I shudder when the idea of Me taking all those meds during that time being just a functioning zombie.
When I on lithium (~15 years ago) I found my creative spark had gone. Sure, the window of emotion had narrowed considerably, but the super-fast mental edge was lost. That made me even more depressed when the time came. Spoke with my doc, dropped all the meds (but can get lithium if I become Superman again)
If you can harness it, manic depression is wonderful thing.

Sure, it does to me too, but that doesn't make it one. Take the famous Mars face photos. It looks like a face, under the right conditions of lighting and shading, but is otherwise an unremarkable piece of Martian real estate.

Ha ha ha ha, thanks for my Monday morning laugh. :)

Gaming comes to Linux, this is the end for Tux Racer!
Holy fuck, did you tell him!

Oh dear, all the cults that have built up a belief system based on some come-back-to-life myth are going to be pissed.

My most valuable lesson? That "Your breasts are perfectly symmetrical, like a well matched pair of D20 dice" is not a good pickup line.

And don't give me "all big budget films these days are crap, people should do it for the love of art"
I never did, nice strawman.
No industry could survive something like that
The movie industry continues to rack up massive (and record) profits year after year, they're doomed if movie trading ever hits the intertubes...
Simple, just get a job at EA. They quality of their recent products suggests they train on the job!

heh heh heh, don't get all depressed over it. Life's too short...

Do a whois on the domain in my always non-obfuscated email address. I'm the farthest thing from anonymous.
There :)

The sticky point is being able to harness it.
Yep, that's the kicker.

Now if they come out with a study showing the radon gas in parents' basements make you live longer, we'll be an indestructable force!

the lack of Billy Mays traffic spike is because absolutely no fucker outside the USA has ever heard of him.
I'm outside the USA...

RIP, Billy Mays.

Then, when they DO image something interesting, like this Martin crinoid, they won't talk about it!
If there really was to be a cover-up, wouldn't it be easier to just not release the smoking gun pictures rather than release and deny?

In any case, the fact that bluetooth adds another load to your phone battery besides the usual cell coverage
Simple: put your phone charger near the bluetooth-enabled base station. A nightly charge should be plenty.
Imagine if your brain suddenly never changes. You can never learn a new thing, remember anything from even 5 minutes ago, etc.
You can try this for a few hours with good pot.

I will too.
I'll be the 112 year old guy with the body of a 43 year old in the corner. Come say Hi!
I've never understood why CD and DVD sales leap after the death of a performer.
Simple: when an artist dies the torrents disappear.
