Cash is also great when you're trying to hide income from the IRS.
That's why they're in the process of banning cash transactions.. It's not clear to me just how they plan to implement it, but i'm aware of several attempts to word proposed legislation to at least get us *started* in that direction. In my country, this takes the form of a complete tax on *every* transaction, including barters.. It'ds not fully implemented yet, and has been drawing fire from people who have noticed that bogging down an economy is a poor way of livening it up..
However, the "Stimulus through taxation" movement also has at it's core the desire to control every transaction.. even at the level of tapping into the underground economy.. I'm pretty sure that the budding (pun intended) drugs legalization movement by, of all people, the 'conservatives", has at it's core, only the observation by those concerned that "sin' taxes amount to 50% or even more of the retail price..
It's not a public movement at this stage, but expect 2012 to be the year that it becomes so, at least as per what I have overheard in passing.
I really don't think there's any harm in making this known..
"We can't make it crash.. there must be something wrong with your system"...Kinda says it all.. don't it.. especially when "your system" is a vanilla configuration well within the min requirements;-(
Yup , I remember the mainframes.. in fact, I remember learning 'computer code" before there were any real programming languages.. no wonder I changed carreers.. just *try* to imagine programming in binary for a minute..
No.. the real enemy is/are the investors who somehow think that funding research into a newer super deadly virus is better than research into solving some of the REAL problems in the world.. because *good* people do not buy , or pay for, biological weapons such as this, but only monsters, "terrists" and sleazy guvenmints (props to G.B. for this "new wurld inglish")..
Actually, now that I think of it, you are right. I no longer get mailings of reunions.. and my 40th is coming up.. I had rather thought most my age had avoided 'social networking" sites.. I dealt with computers for a living , but even so, i dont go near facebook... rats...
I might just pick up a guitar again.. if that ever materializes.. but at the moment the very thought of it makes me almost puke.. fact is i know lots odf more succesfuyl folks than me.. and not a one is anything but a hack compared to me.. but they know how to bend over..
Cheers and Merry Christmas y'all
Bayer.. it was their next "wonder drug" after Aspirin.. and they *have no rights to enforce*, any more.. as the name, just like "aspirin" did, entered the public domain years ago.. They still make, and sell it though, and in europe you can choose it instead of methadone, which, actually is a pretty poor painkiller for an opiod, but the only one of the opiates where the withdrawals , also, can actually kill you..
And the premise of the original post is correct, in that if one takes the same dose of methadone at the same time each day, by the end of the week there is a real possibility of fatal overdose.
That makes the current push to increase methadone use all the more despicable.. for both acute pain management (which is *never* indicated), and for maintanence.
Where I live the number of "addicts" on methadone maintenance has increased by 30,000 % in the last 20 years. Most of the new ones on that program are hardly out of their teens, and a huge percentage haven't even got a history with opiates, but rather pot and stimulants, such as speed or crack..
Methadone for 'Pot Addiction" . are you kidding eddie?
But the human species' kids are so stupid they stick anything that doesn't remotely resemble food in their mouth?
God, if a species in the wild had kids as useless as ours they'd be extinct within one generation.. Just had to be said..
There's *never* going to be an agreement. Ever. Period. Get used to it. Better start shoring up construction standards now to deal with active weather, and grow or farm crops and / or foodstuffs that can survive an extreme environment.
We can survive a harsh climate.. but we should plan for it now, instead of expecting our representatives to legislate for the common good. They're not going to.. it's all about "what's in it for me?", unfortunately, and the time wasted waiting for these elected "representatives" to get off the pot could cost us our lives.
For instance, where I live it's usually super rainy all winter.. but for the last 2 years it simply hasn't rained. At all. And the year before that we had the worst flooding in years...YaDig?
The missing episodes thing was a favorite excuse to do an anti-beeb rant, about them erasing old episodes in order to re-use the videotape, back in the black and white era, when I was an obsessive 'Whovian'.. wasn't the kind of thing you admitted to your neighbours though at the time, not like now, especially if you were at least old enough to drive..
They were still joint British/Canadian prooductions too, back then.. lotsa folks think it was simply a British series, but it wasn't in the beginning.
That's why i suspect that there could be more missing episodes locked up in the CBC bins somewhere (unless we threw them away too!)...
I'm with you on this.. but I've stopped trying to say so. the wall of defence that gets thrown up in my face every time I point out the obvious about the iAlmighty iCorporation...
Re: "citation needed".. I don't think you can quote sources fror an opinion.. the fact that the sentence starts out with "If anything" classifies it as such..
Actually, I'm not sure it isn't actually implicit in the very wording of the constitution, as it being law by it's very nature, as law has no effect unless implemented, it's bound to be challenged in court, therefore requiring an legal interpretation, IMHO..
Question is wrong.. should say 'Is it a correct thing to let *legislators* interpret the constitution"..
Your courts do it all the time.. it's their mandate, in fact..
Yup that's pretty much how it works now..Where I live cable is getting cut off everywhere unless you switch to digital boxes. No airwaves anymore. No analog TV anymore.. even though we only had 40 some odd stations here, as opposed to the US.. No free TV ever again. And you can't just use any old digital box, but *theirs*.. as of tomorrow, in fact..
I just google what I want to see, now, seeing as I have to pay for 'net anyways..
I think actually the saturday morning cartoons are the absolute highest in ad content. Period. And then you've got the cartoons which are now only ads in disguise..
Remember, their training a new generation of little Consumers tio Get Stuff.. it;'s 'good to 'get stuff', to learn to be big Gordon Geckos when they grow up
Because they haven't targeted the ISP's, is why in the past they have failed.. as soon as (and it *will* be the firstly the british, and then the americans who lead the way) , as soon as the ISPs are held legally responsible for content, the net will be well and truly censored.
I'm sorry but how exactly is an iMac (a machine that in general is running UNIX) for people who are challenged? And iChat? So if I use that as a Jabber client now I'm some kind of moron?
If those users have to jailbreak their computers before they can install my software, and they don't know how to do that, I'm now beholden to the troll under the bridge into the walled garden.

Well hey, cry wolf enough, and when we actually *do* get the 'Big one" nobody'll have unplugged anything in time ...

A Windows user calling the users of a genuine Unix system challenged? What an idiot.
misspelt..as i pointed out a couple posts back.. correct spelling .. iDiot..
I'm sorry but how exactly is an iMac (a machine that in general is running UNIX) for people who are challenged? And iChat? So if I use that as a Jabber client now I'm some kind of moron?
Methinks you got egged on by an iDiot ..

Absolutely!.. a reply that makes SENSE
