I don't see it as any newer or grayer than the guy who stands on the street corner and doesn't have any drugs to sell you, but he will tell you exactly where to go and who to talk to to buy some.
So, if 9,999 people are Atheist, and one is Christian, they automatically become Christian if they do not "acknowledge" or make it clear that they have "rejected" the Christianity of the 1 person?
Thanks for sharing the link to your FAQ -- I've wanted to sign up for this service myself for a very long time, and I think after having read your FAQ that it's probably time for me to go ahead and do it. Very informative.
Sorry, I didn't mean to make light of your very thoughtful review.
Well, okay, actually I did.

But what I really want to know is... what kind of sex am I going to find in it? This review is lousy at covering the important points. If I buy the book, am I going to get Narina-furry sex? Hogwarts-magic sex? These are the things I need to know.
RLS is not "imaginary" or "concocted." It feels like someone is tickling your legs from the inside and it's very annoying. That said, it's never been frequent enough a problem for me to actually seek drugs as a treatment. It's just very, very annoying when it does happen.
Yes, they're hard to mistake for each other, and if you read the article, honeybees only get a tiny mention. They're one of three species that are in the article. The other two are bumblebees. The only expert quoted is a bumblebee expert. RTFA.
And as I stated, bumblebees live IN THE GROUND. So seeing them on the ground is normal.
Uh, you're funny, but also you seem to failt o realize that Radio is still cutting-edge technology. Think Wi-Fi, think Bluetooth, think RFID (heck, that one even has RADIO in the name). Even your microwave oven is technically a radio, your cellphone is a radio... I could go on all day, but I think you get the point. If you think of "Radio" as your daddy's old AM/FM receiver, you have a very limited knowledge of Radio. Even if you think of Radio as your neighbor's ham setup, you're missing the big picture.
I'm glad you pointed this out. I felt just like the grandparent post at first; this guy is a nutcase and should get no sympathy for it. But you make a great point; he really is suffering from his problem, even if it's "all in his head."
I'm currently going through all kinds of medical tests for a problem that feel to me like the onset of a heart attack. It could very well turn out to be "just anxiety." If I am crazy, the pain is no less real, the fear is no less real, and it's not pleasant in any sense. To top it all off, I don't feel particularly stressed or anxious (except, of course, when the pains start and I think I'm dying!)...
My doctors had me run through diagnostics for everything from GERD (acid reflux) to DVT and Pulmonary Embolism... Probably the only thing that keeps me from being a flake like this dude is that I have tried very scientifically to correlate the pains to anything in my life (diet, activity, stress, you name it) and I can't find anything with a strong positive correlation, so I'm stumped... so far, so is the doc.
It sucks to be "mental" -- if it is in fact "just mental." No matter how I've tried to convince myself that it's all in my head and I just need to chill the fuck out, I still experience the pains. I had very little sympathy for people who had psychosomatic problems before this, but now that I'm working on the assumption that my problem is psychosomatic, I find it's not just as easy as telling yourself to get over it.
Of course, I could be wrong and actually have a physical problem that no doctor has yet been able to find... but I doubt it. I've had the stress test, the CT scan, the upper GI, endless EKGs, bloodwork, everything comes back perfectly normal and healthy.
"Does this mean I can patent the method the body uses to convert O2 to C02 and then sue everyone?"
No, and I don't see the connection. The patent doesn't cover a natural process of the body; it covers the procedure of looking at the results of that natural process.
So he could patent the process of checking to see whether someone is breathing to determine if they're still alive and then sue anyone who's ever done that?
Anecdotally, I know MDs who are total quacks. Who would rather give a prescription for a placebo than an proven effective drug. It's happened to me. Two years ago I went to a real medical doctor to ask for a prescription for Chantix, a provably better-than-placebo drug to help people quit smoking. He said, "No, you don't want that! You want laser therapy!" At the time I'd not heard of laser therapy for smoking cessation, so I asked him "That sounds interesing; what's the mechanism by which it works?" He told me they shine a laser on your ear. I said "No, I mean, what's the physiological mechanism behind it?" He had to admit there wasn't one, it was a placebo.
Asshole had the nerve to charge me for the visit. I looked it up after I left, definitely a placebo. I went to a new doctor and got my prescription for Chantix.
It all depends on what they like. I love reading Richard Feynman, what difference does it make tha the's dead? QED is still one of the most accessable books about quantum physics EVER.
Also, in Fallout II, in the lowest deck of the giant ship (aircraft carrier? Can't remember) there were actual alien bad guys. Not greys, but they were labeled as aliens.
I just started watching Hulu last week. It's a great service! There is only one short commercial per break, and I'm willing to tolerate that. The only thing that would make it better is if they put banner ads around the window and took the commercials out completely.
But that's not what'll happen. The company serves its bottom line. I give it less than six months before they start stuffing commercials into the show, equivalent to broadcast television. There's already at least one advertisment that cranks the volume up to 11 -- some jamacian shit I'm sure you've probably seen by now. It instantly pisses me off when the commercial comes up. It's a great reminder about why broadcast television is shit.

I couldn't agree more, which is why I only read books that have no page numbers or chapter breaks.

Apparently you didn't bother to read the report linked in the article, since it claims simplicity was, in fact, part of the problem for the Therac-25.

I bought LittleBigPlanet -- I play it together with my girlfriend. Believe me, it's gotten me laid plenty. Excellent investment.

He told me he was a page. "Go on," I said, "You ain't no more than a paragraph!"

Oh, right, that would be stupid.
If it uses mirrors of some type to aim the laser "beam", won't missile designers just make the missile housing out of the same reflective material?
If it does not, how does it get pointed in the right direction fast enough?
These articles are always so light on the interesting details.
Don't fret.

Bumblebees nest in the ground; seeing them "on the ground" means nothing other than all is normal.

In a word: No. You sound like someone who's never tried to quit smoking. It's the most difficult thing I've ever done.
