I love to find out from a friend about a decently written television series and then find out that not only are there already 5 or 6 seasons of it, but they are all available via BT.
BTW my wife and I wish The Fringe was in its fourth or fifth season.
I would buy the typewriter before I would buy an Interwebs-capable machine because there would be a smaller chance of finding someone else's semen in the keyboard.
I actually read the first half of Dianetics during a stint in a county jail, and quite a bit of it made sense.
Engrams, IIRC, are things that have happened to people during their childhood and are repressed to the point that they are damaging. A lot of what goes on in the "auditing" (again, IIRC) is equivalent to regressive hypno-therapy. Breaking down those walls could possibly open people up to entirely new aspects of life, and worlds of possibility.
Of course once the walls are broken down, they lay on the sci-fi-churchy-brainwashing-crapola. That is where I stopped reading.
When wikileaks first got famous in relation to Scientology, I grabbed copies of every available piece of CoS literature that I could download. Upon skimming through it I found there are some methods that seem quite useful as tools for training salespeople.
There are protocols where people train one another, for example one shouts obscenities at the other person nonstop for hours on end, and then the roles reverse and the training continues. Imagine how valuable this could be to salespeople, to make them immune to criticism and unafraid of verbal confrontation.
There are some good bits in the CoS materials, don't dismiss it out of hand.
The cult part of it is crap though.:)
And here is one for you, CoS - L. Ron Hubbard was a drunken pedophile who wishes he could lick the sweat out of my asscrack. Your religion is a cult, and your cult is worthless. Get a life, losers.
we are more interdependent than ever before, more specialized, less capable in areas outside our specialty
True dat.
Am I the only one who views that as a problem?
Let me give you a quote:
"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently and die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." --Robert A. Heinlein
I served in the Navy on a supply ship at the end of the Gulf War. Non-rated seaman, oh joy.
Since we were a non-combatant ship, we only had a few GMs on board. As a result, the gun mount crews were mostly manned by us deck apes.
I was on a.50 mount as assistant loader. Every time we went to General Quarters we had to fully assemble the guns, which were kept in airtight lockers near the actual mount. Open the locker, remove the weapon, set it in place, slide in a half-dozen keyed pins, load and lock and you're ready to rock. Takes all of 60 seconds.
No salt-water corrosion problems at all, and our training was minimal.
The so-called "pirates" in Somalia are really trying to stop other countries (including the U.S.) from dumping hazardous waste into their coastal waters, and trying to prevent other countries from overfishing.
The "piracy" story is fed to retards via the MSM at the behest of said companies.

I agree.
The only legal fault that the car owner would have is in dealing with his or her insurance company.
Yo dawg, I heard you on anti-psychotics, so I put some Trilafon on your Thorazine.

Good stuff.
My 6 year old daughter plays "Battle of Wesnoth" multiplayer with me and her mother almost every night.
If you want to get your kids a good game with strategy and not too much bloodshed, you should check out http://www.wesnoth.org/
New movies and new music I can live without, and I imagine that others can, too.
E-books and audio books, not so much.
I could not even conceive of having to go the library for books anymore.
I remember FTP for FXP via IRC and ... sorry, out of acronyms.
Dude. Never, EVER converse with some dude in lingerie about "mowing your lawn". Or "plunging your toilet". Especially the toilet plunging thing.
Wow.
No offense, man...
but...
your mom is kind of a bitch. :)
That is really, really odd. Cool, but still sort of odd.
I tried to read that, but it made my brain hurt.
Now you owe me a bottle of aspirin.
Uh, dude.
That movie ruled.
The whole book series rocked.

Our good friends the Chinese have devised all sorts of bypasses.
What do you mean, why's it got to be built? It's a bypass. You've got to build bypasses.
No TRUE Scotsman would ever start down a slippery slope!
Yep, very true.

Dammit.
1. Pay for access.
2. Run stories through a thesaurus and post them on my news website.
3. Frame the "free" content with LOTS of advertisements.
4. Profit.

Lucky I'm from the UK where the laws wrt to Poker *actually* make sense.
You mean "liquor in the front, poker in the rear"?
When there are not enough jobs to go around, people will have to find ways to employ themselves constructively.
How is that a bad thing?
Oh wow.
I am SOOO trying to think of something clever to say that involves DHS, TSA, and my "radioactive banana".
