The financial argument here is anything but clear cut; I assure you it won't be resolved in a simple slashdot post daring anyone to come up with an argument against it. There are some very, very good arguments against it, but they're far too complex for a public forum like this to appreciate.
True but many states have marijuana tax stamps, that way, when someone gets caught, the DA can also bust them for tax evasion. This does bring up a question though, if I went through the trouble of buying the damn stamps does that mean that my medicinals are now legal? Can you tax an illicit substance? source: http://norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=6670
We do know how it works, THC et al. are agonists of the brains endocannabinoid system. Like morphine and endorphin/enkephalin, THC mimics certain physical properties of endogenous compounds within the human body, namely AEA and 2-AG.

The languages themselves aren't hard you say...really? Huh, and here I thought that C++ was difficult as hell as a language to work in because of all of its pointer necromancy, fugly aesthetics, and difficulty in debugging ("When in doubt, cout" my ass)
The sad thing is that I can...also, thanks for the visual there, now if you excuse me, I'm gonna go gouge my eyes out with a rusty wooden spoon. kthnxbai
The reason I think that businesses haven't kicked the MSFT habit is the PHBs at the top are far too stupid to move operating systems and powerful enough that they don't have to.
As to martial arts skills, no, they are vestigial and superfluous at best and a liability at worse (imagine getting tangled in it or having your opponent get a good pull in on it while grappling)
No it won't,the science behind evolution has been there for years and that doesn't stop them. They'll just argue that there's still a gap between this fossil and the rest of the great apes clade so it doesn't count.
Which would you consider more noble, ethics that I follow because I have decided that it is genuinely the right and proper thing to do by my own reasoning, or ethics that I follow because I am afraid of being punished for my transgressions in either this or the next life? I'd argue the former; an ethical system that derives its power from fear of the whip is not an ethical system at all, its slavish servitude.
Yo, I heard you like to manipulate genes by manipulating jeans so i put some genes in your jeans so you can manipulate genes while you're manipulating jeans.
Good Idea - Securing various parts of our nation's infrastructure against cyber-attack.
Bad Idea - Leaving the job to politicians or one of their appointees.
Who knows, maybe we will luck out and someone competent will take the post. I'm not holding my breath though. Besides, how would a single government office be able to effectively coordinate security efforts across several disparate industries and networks?
The best I would hope for the government to do is write up a set of standard security procedures that any company could and should follow (e.g. strong passwords, patch your systems, lock down users, don't run as root, etc.) and push for greater end-user education to help prevent social-engineering and phishing attacks (don't open email attachments, don't install crap from the web, don't give anyone your personal info, don't automatically click yes to everything, etc).
Case in point:
ZOMG PoNiES!!!!111!eleventy-one! In Soviet Russia, 1 approaches you! Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these! But does it run on Linux? I, for one, welcome our Random Noise Overlords.

IIRC CentOS is a server OS so stability is favored over being on the bleeding edge, hence older packages.

i dunno, seems pretty spot-on to me
