.... I'm supposed to load Ubuntu, fire up chromium, load microsoft.com and flip off the screen before jumping on the bed for a quick victory fist pumping............ now my point... what does 'acknowledgment' do to reality? Nothing. It's about as effective as some guy on the side of the road giving you a 'nod' because he looked your way... Doesn't really change anything you're doing, where you're going, or whats actually happening... does it....
Its nice to see linux prevailing, but lets not all get so worked up about 'acknowledgements' quite yet, lol.
Please calm down and make a logical point like a grown up.
I think this guy asked you to whip your google out and find him proof that marijuana is responsible for a vehicular harm of another person. I realize you're all upset right now and you're not willing to rationally discuss the topic, but maybe when you've calmed down you'll remember (or at least whip out your google) the evidence for which your argument holds reason --- and then answer him...
I'm waiting, too. I don't think you even know why you're saying what you're saying. I'm not saying I agree people should drive under the influence of marijuana, but it would be nice to hear you put up some facts to show that what you're saying actually DOES happen.
Now, once you've calmed and you're ready to talk like an adult, feel free to reply. And remember, don't drink while you're angry -- it might make things worse for you or lead to harmful activity. Blaze one? O, right, its for negroes and rapists....
Thank you. yes, the site is slashdotted so I can't get to it right now:/
On that first link on jackaudio.org there were resources for tons of things!
I am still curious how one might produce with it if there isn't much for pro-audio hardware that directly connects with linux... by that I mean multiple input channels analog/digital, etc.
What are these pro audio programs called? I produce music in Windows and I am pretty sure my hardware DAW interface requires windows and won't work on linux (lame), but I am a big ubuntu fan and it would be nice to know about these options....
I'm upset that more tax dollars are being spent to put people in jail rather than tax dollars spent to keep people out of jail.
*Puffs Chest*
The testing device sounds fine, given it exists in a nation where we are not at war with drugs and we treat drugs differently... but that's not the case here... and what I see is more guns and less butter. More weapons, less bandages.
I was under the impression this is for handing out DWIs, not for furthering the war on drugs. Would you call arresting drunk drivers part of the neo-prohibition movement?
My point is mostly that its more tax dollars in the millions/billions being shelled out in a war against human curiosity/error/compulsion however you want to look at it. And in this 'war' there is very little effort to solve the true issues of the cause of our proposed need for this war, while spending more and more dollars to further criminalize us.
I'd rather see 100 million spent on rehabilitation and prevention than 100 million spent on criminalization and punishment.
If you don't know drug users, you're surrounded by good liars. And if you do know drug users, then you should understand how prevalent and permanent the use of drugs is in society. The problem being that usually only the poor suffer serious affliction, and usually from the nature of black markets rather than the drug in itself. From this observation it is clear that criminalization of drugs is akin to criminalization of looking under a rock or trying new foods.
I bet rarely, if ever, you will find that a person actually CHOSE to become a thieving and shady meth addict; rather they chose to 'try' it while feeling invincible, and then the natural progression of the drugs' influence and the factors of the black market around it drive the person into what we now see to look like shitbag zombies.
Those zombies that suck your priests' cock in an alley for $20 used to respect themselves and were trustworthy at one point. You have to wonder if the drugs were available at $5/day with mandatory meetings and rehabilitation training tied to the 'price', what serious things might change. consider this: -If the drugs aren't expensive, people won't need to steal or neglect to afford them. -If the drugs are available, they can be clean and pure. -If a drug addict is faced with rehabilitation-based information, that addiction may actually become a thing of the past. -If a drug addict is rehabilitating and not committing crimes otherwise, that is one less person to pay for in prison.
Think about it. The 'problem' of drugs is largely in the way we address it and the shallow minds that assume to be as invincible as the subjects they judge once thought themselves to be.
Neglecting a child is still illegal. Alcoholics get their kids taken away, the same would happen for other drug addicts.
By 'the rest of us' do you mean (at this moment) the 20% of replies to my post? Because at this moment the other 80% are in agreement with me. Quite possibly you're part of the group whose perception is far too simple and immature to truly grasp the situation.
I'm 28 and a good number of people I've cared for in my life have fallen into drugs. And in all that I've observed it was the black markets surrounding the illegal drugs that led to the greatest harms of those involved. They suffered the consequences of poor choices and curiosity, yet in nearly all cases the crimes they committed only served to harm themselves (And as you seem to care so much, the crimes they committed against others would still be enforceable given the drugs were legal)
Use your big brain - the one that looks at things in the complexity for which they exist rather than simply and erroneously.
Apparently you are unaware that drug use is directly relatable to numerous genetic maladies such as bipolar/manic-depression disorder and higher intelligence. Furthermore, drug use is highly related to mental health --- something that business in the US directly attacks to produce desired ends such as women hating themselves so they will buy SSRIs and Jenny Craig. When people have a negative self image, as imposed by false representations of social percetpion (aka 'advertising'), they are much more prone to use drugs.
The thing you're getting at is 'getting let off the hook' but you're not addressing WHAT they are getting let off the hook for. That 'what' is a personal decision that affects only the user. As stated before the related crimes of drugs are still illegal, and rightly so (like burglary to fuel expensive addictions).
Should you be let off the hook for masturbation? The question remains, why would you be ON the hook in the first place?
... so our government can keep being at 'war' with us.
Drugs are a social health problem, not a criminal problem. Sadly our representatives and much of our populous lacks the maturity or the foresight to acknowledge this difference --- and thus the current moralist/criminalist approach leads to filled prisons and fines that leave us wondering why we're all such bad people.
Wake up -- curiosity and susceptibility are not bad things. Given the change in availability and removal of black markets, most drugs only impact the individual -- and for 'other crimes' that people may commit on drugs, those acts are still criminal. Example: in a meth legal world, the addict is not treated like a criminal, but if she neglects her child she can still be held responsible for that neglect.
With money for the goal, how else did you expect to be treated? You will endure it just as the millions who endure television commercials, spam, and the rest of the world of business we've come to live in immersion with.
Imagine your world without money. The utopia you might imagine surely can't have anything to do with such a destructive force.
You're bad at understanding, so I'll try to make it simple.
If the cost of the cell, and the ability to recycle it into a new working cell, is LESS than the money it saves -- then there is a relatively free gain to be had.
In the case of solar cells, relative to energy costs, they pay for themselves (and recycle) completely within 10 years... This means the next 18 years it will produce energy for you at no further cost to you.
This means, if you don't get it yet, that you don't have to PAY for that energy because it is coming to you for free (being that the panel already paid for itself in the first 10 years).
If you can pretend that you don't pay energy bills for your current supplies for energy, then you might make sense... But you don't.
there is no real need to remove the jammer in emergencies.... there were no cell phones in the 90s and prior... there was no significant need for handheld communications devices for kids in school-related emergencies.
had there been true need, we would already have some kind of 'answer' to that need... we don't because it simply isn't necessary.
All the hard-line phones are still functional. As a reminder, before the late 90s, it was only those hard-line phones available in the first place --- and nothing catastrophic came about due to lack of mobile devices in the hands of students in emergencies...
I know if an emergency were to happen in a public school I'd hope the kids were following the best possible procedures to get/be safe instead of making phone calls.
What they should do is hold strict policy to ban the use of the cellphones, cite the kids once notifying the parents, and then expel the kid the second time. When Jimmy has to go to a crappy school, or his parents have to drive him halfway across the county to get to school --- then maybe he will listen.
A human is not a person. There is a difference between what is human and what is a person. This difference is the difference between murder and washing off dead skin cells from your body. This is the difference between what you're calling wrongful killing and what is actually going on.
Furthermore, you say '...if developed, would become...' which is completely out of line. You don't afford a med-school student full rights to being an M.D., you don't give a talented kid the first place trophy until he actually wins it. There is a difference between what something is NOW and what it may become in the future. In this case some cells that do not exhibit anything close to personhood are par with the skin you wash from your body or the cells you damage while drinking alcohol.... They are NOT par with the living being you call mother, or the jerk you work for. You wouldn't call a seed by its full grown plant name until it became that, would you? Its a seed, not a banana tree.
... but the point was to make a big deal of these relatively small issues: all the while forgetting about oil spills, refinery fires, and the general stupidity of combusting organic materials as a widespread energy source.
I hardly have the time to help you look up at the sky to see the obvious blue you're trying not to see. Hit Google Scholar and look up some published research. Ignore media articles, go for the evidence, go for the research articles.
Slashdot Mirror
I don't think accusing psychopaths of being brain damaged will make them any nicer....
I betcha John McCain has the balls to tell him, though.
Why do they push out distros that kill systems anyway?
For a lot of people (said 'nearly everyone'), reinstalling an OS is kinda overboard for the 'things I tolerate' list.
Linux snob disses Solaris snob.... lmfao.
You guys are a spectacle. I guess microsoft is like a budweiser, then?
keep fighting each other, it only makes people like your OS less. Try understanding and unity... see where that takes you.
A monopoly does not necessarily mean that you have no competitors.
yes it does. wtf?
Laughably, acknowledgment changes nothing. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't party for the blue skies above us!

I'd like to see you actually make a real argument to the guy who is making real arguments to you.
You've done nothing but bullshit and ad hominem.
Driving while drugged is a criminal problem.
Thanks for pointing out the obvious. I never said that it wasn't. If you don't yet know what I'm actually talking about, give up.
