  1. I'm with Mr Sagan on this one on Carl Sagan Was a Secret Pot Smoker · · Score: 1

    Hmm... my experience with fraternities is that they mostly beat the hell out of people they don't like.

    If you have to pay for your friends (if you don't pay your fees, you're out), why are you surprised that Mr. Sagan wanted money to speak to you?

    Myself, I prefer to make my friends the old fashion way: Get to know people that I have something in common with.

    GDI and proud.

  2. My best friend died, but it should be legal. on Carl Sagan Was a Secret Pot Smoker · · Score: 1

    My best friend died from a combination of staying up all night, smoking too much pot and driving with that combination.

    I got to see the big black spot on the side of the road where his car burst into flames after flipping over a few times. I have a melted piece of his radiator that I keep just for memories.

    He was an idiot, and I really miss him. BUT MARIJUANA IS NOT EVIL!

    And for those of you who want proof, here it is: He died on December 4th, 1990 at 3:15 p.m. It should be in the next day's (or 2 days maybe) issue of the Tulsa World: http://www.tulsaworld.com. His name was Robert Wayne Lovett, Jr.)

    I'm sorry about your friend that nearly died, but I've spent *many* more nights watching friends that were passed out drunk to make sure they didn't inhale their own vomit. One guy went swimming in November and we found him passed out in the woods. We had to get him into the car and turn the heater on full blast because he was going into hypothermic shock.

    Give me a break. Alcohol kills, marijuana doesn't. Anything can kill you - I know somebody that goes anaphilactic (sp?) around anybody wearing too much perfume.

    So you think we should put people in prison because they sell, grow or smoke marijuana? Do you believe *everything* you are told? And you probably purchase every single upgrade of Windows 9x that you can, too, right? I'm sure Bill has to feed his kids...

    Mr. Jon Katz, are you listening? Do you want a controversial issue to champion? Do you have the balls for this one?

  3. The Communications Satellite? on Carl Sagan Was a Secret Pot Smoker · · Score: 1

    I believe he invented the concept of a communications satellite in either a book or a short story, didn't he?

  4. name for new element on New element produced Z=114 · · Score: 1

    ununquadium?

  5. re: a Linux Box was delivered this week to on The Road to Linux: The Descent (Part One) · · Score: 1

    Hey, he got flamed for being too polished, so now we get unpolished.

    I think it's great, too much editing can make an article impractical, even if more readable.

  6. Out of the frying pan? on Visual Basic book author gives up the language · · Score: 1



    Hmmm... can't let that one go by. Borland's Turbo Pascal was object oriented before C. How's that for a toy language?

    So if Pascal is a "toy" language, you've got to throw stuff like Perl, Java and Tcl/Tk in there as well.

    Aw, your just jealous because you can't do RAD with the fastest native language compiler like I can. :-) (Now if I could just drop Win32, I'd be *really* happy!)

  7. slashdot effect for Yahoo! on Yahoo threatens legal action against Yahooka.com · · Score: 1

    All of us /.'ers could just run over to Yahoo! and suggest a site (YaHooka.com) about a million times. Maybe they would get the idea?
