1st thing I thought when reading about these was "will I be able to put another OS on it". I have very little interest in ChromeOS, but Android, linux, or even Windows RT, and now you've got my attention.
Seriously! I mean, hey, my kids love beer and cigarettes, how dare the government tell me how to raise 'em! And if I want to send my kids out to work to earn their keep what business is it of the government? NONE! Buggers are expensive to raise, at least they should chip in, amirite? And school? School is for little pussies. My kids learn from the school of hard knocks, like when I belt them for not bringing home enough money from their job or smoking too many of my ciggies. So yeah government, stay out of my kid's lives! I know what's best for 'em, yessiree I do. Next week that nice man down the block is gonna give me $500 to take pics of my little girl in her bathing suit while I'm at work. Hells yes! Nothing wrong with that! I'm the daddy and what I say goes. I don't need no Uncle Sam sticking his big nose into my business. BACK OFF SAM! I own these kids and they'll do as I say!

NO ONE is going to willingly go to Staten Island unless you're giving away free money. This has epic fail written all over it. I can only imagine the reason Der Fuhrerberg is for this is because either he or a crony will make bank when it fails.
The correct answer for any question revolving around "why can't we have _____" is always corporate greed. Why can't we have socialized medicine? Corporate greed. Why can't we have jobs here to the US? Corporate greed. Why can't we have a thriving economy and middle class? Corporate greed. And why can't we have fast, reliable, and cheap broadband, television, and cell phones? Corporate greed.
It's entirely possible. I can quite easily get caffeine withdrawal headaches if I drink too much coffee and then stop.
Funny you mention tramadol cause I actually have a bottle of the stuff and use it once in awhile for when I get my special tension headaches that ibuprofen or tylenol doesn't even dent. It makes me a little loopy but I feel no pain and have never yet had to take more than one.
I can't even imagine what it would be like to be in so much pain that you're willing to become addicted to pain killers for relief. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
It was the same for me when I had my gall bladder taken out. I was woozy, and it definitely smarted, but I was never really in any serious pain when whatever they gave me wore off. I wasn't in the hospital long either, just a few hours and then home.
My appendectomy was a different story. I wound up with a post-op infection and was in the hospital for a week. They gave me one of those "push the button to get high" devices with dilaudid. but I think I used it maybe 2 or 3 times and then switched to tylenol.
I'd have thought the exact same thing. No one was more surprised than me. I'm totally not an addictive type. I've never smoked or done drugs. I rarely drink, and when I do it's one or two max. I don't gamble or binge, I'm not a shopaholic and I don't collect anything. I'm about as anti-addictive as one can get and not be dead. I will admit that if I overdo coffee/caffeine I am prone to mild headaches when I scale back, but that's about it.
So you're arguing semantics over your interpretation of the word "hooked"? I think it was pretty obvious I wasn't talking about a psychological dependence and therefore wasn't using the term in that way.
No, I acknowledged that one day of an opioid is my limit and only when absolutely necessary. After that, when the doctors are more than willing to keep pushing the stuff on me like a corner dealer I say "no thank you".
Yeah, that's the withdrawal. For me it felt like I had the worst flu ever. Massive headache, body aches, chills, nausea. It was pretty awful. I actually had to continue taking it and wean down for 3 days.
Appendectomy and cholecystectomy. I'd say both are pretty invasive. Of course in the hospital right after the surgery they gave me dilaudid or something similar (still bad, but highly limited in use). It was after that first day when they wanted to give me a Rx for a week's worth of oxycodone pills and I said no. Ibuprofen and tylenol, that was it. Just enough to take the edge off.
I won't touch the stuff. My former dentist gave it to me for a toothache to last thru the weekend till I could be seen. Taking the recommended dose for 2 days and I was already hooked enough to experience withdrawal symptoms for the next 3 days. Unbelievable.
On the next two occasions where I was offered the drug after surgery I said no, just give me ibuprofen. It's just not worth it.

Companies shouldn't shit where they eat. How's that shitpie taste, Apple?
I don't see why patent troll lawyers shouldn't be set ablaze for free.
It's so quaint they think anyone cares.
Someone explain again how this is good for innovation???
The sad thing is they think anyone actually cares.
Anytime there is equipment paired with insurance it's like a license to print money.
$3000 for a CPAP machine? All it does is blow fucking air thru a tube.

You listen real closely you can hear Stevie J doing 360s in his grave. Poor thing.
You'd have more luck finding a leprechaun riding a unicorn down the streets of Atlantis.

What could possibly go wrong?

They've already stated this will not be made available on the Touchpad.

I just must be extremely sensitive to the stuff.
Everyone is different I guess. I must be very susceptible to it, and you just the opposite.

Umm, I'm pretty sure that's exactly what it means. Unless you're talking about psychological dependence, which is something completely different.
