I once saw a documentary which showed a dutch guy who had Parkinson's disease (I think) before and after taking MDMA (XTC). The difference was day and night: before he couldn't stop shaking, afterwards he had enough control over his body to do gymnastics. That these drugs have valid medical applications is almost a given since they were synthesized just for that reason.
Depends on the woman. I like funny, athletic men with very high IQs, who are preferably also very tall. I think anecdotal evidence and my dating history would back that up as the absolute truth. (They're incredibly hard to find, just so you know.) Not all women are game-playing bitches. Just most of them.
No shit. I like funny, big breasted gymnasts who are also mensa members. Very hard to find.
"He doubts whether any safeguards could be put in place to deter young people, who after all (are) the most computer literate and savvy in our society, from being able to access material."
Well he's right, which is also the reason they will be able to evade his ban on the stuff in the first place. What an idiot, if you've got a moral objection just come out and say it you hypocrite.
"The door refused to open. It said, 'Five cents, please.'
He searched his pockets. No more coins; nothing. 'I'll pay you tomorrow,' he told the door. Again he tried the knob. Again it remained locked tight. 'What I pay you,' he informed it, 'is in the nature of a gratuity; I don't have to pay you.'
'I think otherwise,' the door said. 'Look in the purchase contract you signed when you bought this conapt.'
In his desk drawer he found the contract; since signing it he had found it necessary to refer to the document many times. Sure enough; payment to his door for opening and shutting constituted a mandatory fee. Not a tip.
'You discover I'm right,' the door said. It sounded smug.
From the drawer beside the sink Joe Chip got a stainless steel knife; with it he began systematically to unscrew the bolt assembly of his apt's money-gulping door.
'I'll sue you,' the door said as the first screw fell out.
Joe Chip said, 'I've never been sued by a door. But I guess I can live with it.'" ("Ubik", Philip K Dick)
How long until we'll be begging our Zunes to let us use our software ?

Personally, I prefer the Apple way but if you want to be a cheapskate and be forced to sit through ads to use a device you bought like in some cyberpunk B-movie be my guest.
Dear sir, it has come to our attention that after making use of our limited 30 second free preview offer the image of our bodypart has become burned into your retinas. We therefor are sending you this invoice for further viewing of a negative image of said bodypart outside of the 30 second grace period. Payment will be due within the next 10 working days.
Mortal sins only damn you to hell if they are not confessed and absolved. And really masturbation should be preferred because intercourse outside marriage is itself a mortal sin and at least masturbation doesn't corrupt another to your eeeevil ways.
Is it a performance if they come into the same room as me, put on a CD and then pretend to push buttons on a laptop ? Because I've been to a lot of techno shows like that.
Maybe it's the other way around: Sun is sinking fast due to uncertainty and so they make some bold gestures to show they're serious about making this merger work. Nothing shows you're committed like eating your own dog food.
I agree, Apple are developing their touch interface where it makes sense NOW : on mobile devices. There's little doubt in my mind that, at least internally, they've some bigger tablet like devices they're testing to modify their interface to such devices. MS on the other hand are trying to run before they can walk and retrofitting touch controls onto a system never meant for them. It's clear to me which approach will end up on top.
Even scarier would be Stallman, Ballmer, Gates, Jobs, and Torvalds all together in the same room planning to take over the world...
We would all be screwed.
Ballmer: "Gee Bill, what do you want to do tonight?"
Gates: "The same thing we do every night, Balmy - try to take over the world!"
IBM seems to do ok keeping POWER up with and ahead of Intel/AMD.
Yeah but Sun never was IBM even though they seemed to think so themselves. IBM has a much broader range of products so they can prop up other business lines for a while if they have too. What's more they can sell during a downturn (buying IBM always being the safe bet) which is something Sun never could. Sun is very much a "boom" company, every time there's an economic slump they collapse like a bad souffle.

The process involves a serotonin-influencing drug
Looks like code for "we shot them full of XTC", so I'm sure they felt relaxed and loved despite the broken spine.

What about the crevasse on uranus ? (Come on *someone* had to.)
I find your ideas fascinating, and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
I'm homeless you insensitive clod !
Citation needed. I've some belgian nurses among my friends and I've never heard about this.

Who in the hell has Rick's other 7.1 cents?
Man, Rick got rolled.
I'll give them a free 30 second preview of the body part they can kiss. (Limited time only, restrictions apply, one per customer.)

If they considered this anticompetitive they would've broken up IBM years ago.
Maybe he has some documents detailing the latest downsizing & outsourcing plans on it. He's visiting china after all.
You can cripple a mac with Windows if you want.

These officers are your EMPLOYEES and you are the boss.
No they are not. They are employed by the government to do a job in your (the community's) behalf. There's a difference.
That's interesting. You think these EMF shielding cloths would do the trick ?
