An accurate description of the new wave of medicine for ADHD, ADD, ODD, and new intelligence drugs on the market. Also, Nootropics have been around since the 60's.. namely Piracetam.

I've read before that a nobel price winner formulated his theory utilizing psychedelics. I believe you are referring to Kary Mullis. He wrote a book about it titled "Dancing Naked in the Mind Field":
Kary Mullis won the Nobel Prize for his invention of the polymerase chain reaction, a chemical procedure that allows scientists to "see" the structures of the molecules of genes. Mullis is no shy, socially inept bench chemist, though; on the contrary, he has led as big and full a life as possible, opening himself to experiences like hallucinogenic drugs, surfing, casually handling dangerous chemicals, and taking shots at the sacred cows of science.
Also, the famous mathematician Paul Erdos used amphetamines for this purpose:
His colleague Alfréd Rényi said, "a mathematician is a machine for turning coffee into theorems", and Erdos drank copious quantities. (This quotation is often attributed incorrectly to Erdos.) After 1971 he also took amphetamines, despite the concern of his friends, one of whom (Ron Graham) bet him $500 that he could not stop taking the drug for a month. Erdos won the bet, but complained during his abstinence that mathematics had been set back by a month: "Before, when I looked at a piece of blank paper my mind was filled with ideas. Now all I see is a blank piece of paper." After he won the bet, he promptly resumed his amphetamine habit.

To save some the effort. From 1752:
September 3-September 13 inclusive - These dates were omitted from the calendar in Britain as part of the adoption of the Gregorian calendar in the British Empire to correct the eleven day discrepancy between the Old Style and New Style dates.

I didn't find the original question funny at all. I have no doubt the suggestion would work, and work much better than what the military could provide. The only reason I find the question stupid is because I know the military is only interested in power. They want recruits so they can be one step ahead, not some mob on the internet. I liken it to citizens owning firepower.. it would not only lessen the need for the military, but could also be a direct threat to the military itself (think reasons for the Second Amendment).
Also, notice how he doesn't condone criminal activity, yet he is advocating this same behavior for his "cyber command" crap.
I have no doubt what you suggest would work, and work much better than what the military could provide. However, do you really think the military is interested in anything other than power? They want recruits so they can be one step ahead, not some mob on the internet.

I havn't heard of that, but I don't think it would satisfy the 'coherency' bit. The explosion would emit a large range of frequencies, so I don't see how a straight chamber would help here. The resulting E/M would be oriented in the same direction, but would not be coherent.
I'm not sure how you formed the notion that I support McCain or Republicans in general. I've been a capital 'L' Libertarian since 2000, and so I've obviously been a strong supporter of Ron Paul for a while now. Honestly, if I had to choose between fiscal authoritarianism and social authoritarianism, I'd probably choose fiscal (there are so many ways to "work" the system). I'll be voting 'L' in November again because I do have a choice.
good point. I'd add: How many know Donald Becker, and what he is known for? Would he be as well known had he not put his name in the kernel boot output for many network drivers?
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't the president simply decide not to enforce the unconstitutional federal drug laws? I would think he would be required to given that he swore an oath to uphold the Constitution.
I can't say I have seen more eloquent explanations of what has been going wrong with the Federal Government. This, sir, is almost on par with the Declaration of Independence. Very well done, indeed.
Also, typical politician speak, in which they take 5 sentences to say "I agree". You have got to be kidding. If anything, the answers weren't long enough. All of them except the patent related answer are 1 or 2 sentences, and the patent one is 3. Very straightforward answers, which is completely unlike "politician speak".
Also earning a Grammy was Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, who defeated two presidents -- Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter -- to take home the award for best spoken-word album. Obama won for his book, "The Audacity Of Hope: Thoughts On Reclaiming The American Dream." Quote found here this morning.
Would this be considered an endorsement from the music industry?;)
According to this Linux Kernel Timeline, 2.6.17 was released in June of 2006. So I'd assume, as someone else pointed out, that the author re-worked an older exploit payload to work with this new vulnerability. I can't imagine code written in 2006 would be considered "too old to compile". Though that doesn't help when you consider that the exploit could have been around for almost 2 years now.
Yea, I have.. for many years now. It is clear to me that the main purpose of the document is to limit what the federal government is able to do. It is also clear to me that many people don't like this idea. I'm not sure if you are trolling or not, but seriously, most of the US federal gov. is based on extremely broad interpretations of two clauses in Art1. Sec8. How ridiculous do the interpretations have to get before we say it has gone too far?
If understanding the rationale for our independence and the intolerance for the intolerant makes me closed minded, than so be it. I'd rather take notes from history than throw it all away.
Why won't he run as an independent? If the Republican party doesn't back him, why not be the libertarian candidate and give them some much needed publicity? He has stated several times that the "system" is extremely biased towards the two major parties. For example, see the Commission on Presidential Debates. Here is a quote from him when Paul was on "Meet the Press" in December:
MR. RUSSERT: If, if you do not win the Republican nomination for president, will you run as an independent in 2008?
REP. PAUL: I have no intention to do that. ...
MR. RUSSERT: Well, but no intention's a wiggle word. ...
REP. PAUL: Well, I can be pretty darned sure that I have no intention, no plans of doing it, and that's about 99.9 percent. I don't like people who are such absolutists, "I will never do this, or I will win, I'm going to come in first." I don't like those absolutists terms in politics. That being said, after I read his email I went to the Libertarian Party to see who the candidates for 2008 are. After Harry Browne passed away, I said to myself that Ron Paul is the only person I know who could win.. oh well.
Unfortunately, I've heard Iceland and New Zealand, like Switzerland, are very hard to get citizenship in. I havn't really considered Australia yet. Their government hasn't seemed to be on a good path either, though what government really is?
Obama was actually a professor (adjunct IIRC) teaching Constitutional law. I don't know where you went to school, but my.gov professors didn't give an expletive about the Constitution. Professors, like many professions, tend towards conclusions that empower themselves. Unfortunately this often ends up complicating fields that don't need to be complicated. The US Constitution is very simple, but lawyers and politicians have twisted and interpreted it to empower themselves. Every new administration ends up selling us more of what, IMO, we don't need.
Why not rip off the other guys? Rather than chase Windows, chase freakin' OS X. The Étoilé project aims to produce a document-centric desktop and post-desktop environment. The project is built on top of GNUstep, a high-quality Free Software implementation of the OpenStep specification from Sun and NeXT and popularised by Apple as Cocoa.
Very neat site! Also, very biased and closed. Try and ask them for their method of assigning weights to their quiz questions.. They won't tell you. The test at politicalcompass.org is invalid
My understanding of OPEC is the same. Note that I mentioned the US is artificially propping up the stable supply by leveraging OPEC. This is exactly what the oil producing countries don't want.
No.. I'm not advocating the US foreign policy wrt the middle east.
