    So very true. Other cancers of todays medicine are the "let it all out"-philosophy in gastroenterology and the "don't be so hard on yourself" school of urology.

    and before you say that it can be eaten or steeped like tea, carcinogens can still cause cancer even if not smoked.

    Thats true. Luckily there aren't any carcinogens in the cannabis oil itself, which is just like any other plant oil you might use in your household. It just has an additional psychotropic component.

    So no, you do not have a point.

    Because the burden of proof is on those that believe that it's harmless rather than those that don't believe it to be safe.

    This one doesn't go to you specifically, but to everybody who wants to tell me what I am allowed or not allowed to do with my body:

    Fuck you.

    You need a lot less weed to get high than you need tobacco. A good joint can last for hours, a cigarette might not even last for 10 minutes.

    I'd rather eat it anyways if it was legal here.

    You don't really have to process marijuana at all. If you want to smoke it, you probably want to dry it first. If you want to cook with it, you can just throw it into your dough.

    If we're talking hacker movies, I just have to mention Sneakers. I know, some parts of the movie aren't technically accurate, and others not unrealistic.

    But it is one of the few hacker films I really enjoy, even as a computer-literate person, or maybe even because of it.

    Seriously, I am astonished about the amount of butthurt over Wikipedia.

  18. Re:I for one ... on Edit-Approval System Proposed For English-Language Wikipedia · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I strongly disagree. On many search terms, I hit the Wikipedia result first, and use the rank button to push it higher, because Wikipedia provides pretty accurate information in a presentation form that I am used to.

    Try the search term "Flipflop" (the ones used in electronics). Ignoring the shoes for now, you will find some university sites with crazy color schemes, about some specific flip flops, many hobbyist sites and other crap. "Ajax" brings up tutorials, frameworks, but nothing that tells you what Ajax is. Worse even for search terms like "Homeopathy", where all kinds of crap pops up.

    When people bitch about Wikipedia, they always forget that the rest of the Internet is even worse.

    Vandalism is any addition, removal, or change of content made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia; vandalism cannot and will not be tolerated. The most common types of vandalism include the addition of obscenities or crude humor, page blanking, the insertion of nonsense into articles or otherwise replacing legitimate content with vandalism.

    This seems like a good start.

    Knol is Google's child and it sucks badly.

    That leads me to the conclusion that, while Wikipedia isn't perfect, it is better than everything else we have, including "serious" encyclopedias like Encyclopedia Britannica.
