If drug companies can afford every other Super Bowl commercial, and drug reps can throw money at every doctor and pharmacist in the country, maybe they can afford to sell drugs at reasonable prices to third world countries.
Uh, i'm a pharmacist. I'll be the first to tell you that drug reps do NOT throw money at us. In fact, I rate drug reps and advertising one step below a used car salesman. At least a used car salesman realizes that he knows jack and shit. When I see a drug rep, I'm lucky if I get two cheap plastic pens and a pad of post-its. Then I have to hear them babble about the latest study (that their company paid for) showing this new drug X to be better than what the gold standard is (of course, they paid for the study).
I hate drug commercials with a passion. The last thing I need are the patients coming in wanting new drug X that cost $20/tablet (that their insurance wont cover) just because they saw it on TV; and the doctors writing for it because some blond drug rep came in and gave him free schwag.
Good pharmaceutical judgment has been taken away from journals/studies/clinical experience and replaced with talking-head drug reps and TV ads. Sad really. Loads of good drugs out there that cost pennies that nobody wants to use because its not being marketed.
I believe ebay has know about this for a while but sat on it for some unknown reason:
SURBL List gave first warning. Took them almost a month, not bad.
If all this attention is getting your server hammered/bandwidth maxed; i'm sure that a few of us here will mirror (via rsync) katie.com on our machines.. You can just do round-robin DNS to balance the requests.. This might confuse the hell out of Penguin..:)
I have a catch-all enabled that dumps into spamtrap@mydomain.com... I have root/postmaster/etc aliased to my real email address.. Whatever spamassassin doesnt tag as spam in the spamtrap accounts gets re-fed into the baysean filtering afer I skim it really quick to make sure nobody just mistyped something... Works really well..
FYI, Cocaine is a Schedule 2 drug with morphine and friends. Im a pharmacist, and im looking at it right now on my wholesalers ordering system.. Its used in very dilute formulas for topical analgesia/vasoconstrictor in eye and nose/throat surgery.
if they do this on purpose, so they can hook you then make you come back to more.. Caffeine withdrawls suck, and if the home-made stuff isnt as potent, people are pretty much the slave of starbucks (or have to drink 2x more home-made coffee)...
I dont know of any solar panel/battery/led/camera/etc that withstand being hit by a few ton semi going 65 mph... Seems like a waste of time/money to me, or just maybe what we need to start making wireless transmitter jammers...
When the matrix came out, Japan had the pop-down matrix phone a long time before it came in the US. I read somewhere that the phone was considered "Too Powerful" by the FCC, so it was held up before it was released by nokia. Im curious as to what made this phone "too powerful" and the FCC afraid of it.
So this means that laptops will still have the same low battery life as they do now. Why dont they make low voltage processors with larger batteries so you can get more than a few hours of runtime.

There are probably a handful of us PharmD's (pharmacists) lurking too.. Medical geek, computer geek, we're all just peas in the same pod.. heh

If memory serves me right, 100mg.. The same as 8oz of coffee.. Dont quote me on that, thats just off the top of my head.

'doubling the number of lanes on a congested highway.'
More like putting a bike lane between two lanes of freeway.

I just hope these robots arent made with anything that can contaminate the water supply if they malfunction/leak/blow up.
Get the kleenex. I think a bunch of geeks just released all over their keyboards.

Leader in the industry, approved by pirates everywhere...
Now I can overclock my cheap solar-powered calculator!
Just because the kind of people who like that sort of thing would rather watch a reality soap on TV than read a webpage.
Is a command-line toliet/shower combo and i'll never have to leave my desk! Oh wait, real geeks dont take showers.. Im such an insensitive clod!
The people who can only get dialup access, or the're going to burn a good majority of their users..
Boo! I call Communist Foul! I posted this joke the exact same time you did.. :)
The CD rots YOU.. :(
*sigh* I have resorted to trendy slashdot commenting.. Kill me now..

If it does, i'll act gay to get "help".. Why does the Castle Anthrax scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail come to mind right now?
You're advertising Miss Cleo.
So that explains why shes in #l33t-k1dd3z
I can only imagine what would happen if someone got root on a linux based cell phone... Can you say 1-900-GAY-PR0N?
