Then use drugs and get nabbed by the police and get to see the world of jail for a while. No more cares, worries, interesting people to meet, free meals, room, borad, etc. And hey more time for that zen experience.
And then you realize that you have a crappier life than when you were on the drug which gives rise to *wanting* the drug. This is what creates simple psychological addiction.
Really simple. Take a bunch of druggies off the streets and instead of immediately arresting them or whatnot take them along with the dare officers in hand cuffs and leg irons to a school and show them a real life example of a drug user looks/smells/acts/behaves like and that just might work a little better.
On point 1c I think pure medical data seems to back it up fully. A stroke is where large portions of the brain die and cease to function. It's like scortched earth for the brain and many extremely intelligent people can be totally incapicated by them and almost never get any functioning back. If the brain were able to replace cells as you suggest then why don't stroke victims get they life back? Another point would be dementa and Alteizmers which are basically the result of mass dieing of cells over time. Why don't old people have the same level of intelligence and cognition as the general younger population of age -50 years? On 2 I think DARE is brought out of a desire to depart with the kind of ideas imparted by Ralph Parlette and his "School of Hard-Knocks" (take a look at project gutenberg for a reference). Most people don't want their children to be ruined for life and have an addiction problem because someone didn't tell them the experiences of other people who failed.
Tobacco is a known bad choice and in general if you do anything like that you deserve what you get. The evidence is overwhelming, the companies have been caught lieing, the bodies are there, and the data there too. Smoking is stupid period. Of course you can smoke if you want to, but that dosn't mean that smokers have the fight to health insurance, medicar/medicaid, or getting packs of cigs for more than $20.00 a pack either.
I thought I heard of a technique that could arbitrarily turn it back on again or something similar with some very simple code that can even be operated remotely.
The reason that the US didn't create a strategic defense initative in space was largely due to cost and ineffectiveness. The cost of running such an operation would reach into the trillions a year for all the care/maintaince.

Besides, the space program is an important part of international diplomacy and is necessary for that reason alone.
How does it effect the balance of power to have an operational space station? Seems slighly hollow.
No actually I can read text fine at between 4-6pt easily I just want a console that reflects that. I even seen to recall (a very long time ago) that there were some assembly calls for dos that would do something similar but I don't recall the details.

Why dosn't somebody just replace Mir. For goodness sake it's like someone remodeling a model T ever few years and calling it a good car.
Also isn't Russia the same country that can't even pay it's citizens and massive food shortages and lack of adequate housing? What is their possible motivation?
Ok I admit it I like to have a nice small font (I do have 20/20 or better after all) but I do remember once when I was running some fractal generator which utilized SVGAlib to interface and somehow it crashed without restoring the video mode and made for a nice effect.
I already tried to get something that small with SVGATextMode but didn't get as fine a resolution.
What would be useful would be to have a program that would force a really high graphics mode with the tiny font and then exit. That would permit a greater screen space.
Well It wasn't so hard after I figured out how to get out of the church in the plague infested village in the N64 version. I can say I think that 5 bucks (and no more mind you) was worth it for rental.
Well to create a similar effect you can just take any old image and run it through aview. Aview is a program that comes with the debian distribution which has the ability to render an image out of the observable ascii character set. It works quite well and will do almost the same thing.
All you have to do it get it to run on the palm and it will work.
What about an AM radio burst system? Or something that uses a small ammount of power?
But I digress. It could be possible to have a smart card reader installed as a means of accessing your laptop to read and decode a magnetic stric. Or maybe a cuecat.
Trains had them and hence they got their name from being able to stop the train if the conductor became incapacitated in some manner.
In general a dead man's switch is based on the concept of lack of input from the user to *not* do an action. For example suppose I have a shell script that checks for a certain program to be running if I am at my computer logged into my account. Now suppose that the program will start calculating the number of seconds that I was away from the computer and say saving news headlines from slashdot since that date. It's just based on the principle of inaction.
First thing I would ever do if I had a stolen laptop would be to make sure that I got a boot disk and booted cleanly off that before I ever looked into the machine type. From the disk I could determine what OS it was on and most likely a way to boot that OS to bypass any other OS security measures.

With all that tar and ash you could resurface a small road.
That's what I did and you can too it's quite intuitive

You would have to look deeper than waders could provide.

Plus you don't need one extra library that clutters up the system.
Seems most of the development of things such as windowing systems have been restricted to X and it's interface.

Yeah I looked. A bunch of squiggly pictures arrayed in such a manner to create a new picture. Kind of like Surat's stuff. My idea still holds.
That would get someone's attention.
