One of my fondest memories from high school was Iben Browning's earthquake prediction. He claimed a massive earth quake was going to shake the New Madrid fault around 1990. See http://geology.about.com/library/weekly/aa030903a. htm. Several months before the predicted date we had a 4.x quake during school. Everyone thought this was clear evidence Browning's prediction would come true. The school board cancelled class for 2 days surrounding the predicted date. No earthquake ever occurred. He helped us out and made the merchants in our area who jacked up their prices rich.
In 1992, I had a US Robotics Courier V.Everything modem that cost $500. I had to purchase a 16650 UART chip for my serial port to get high speed transfers. It seemed like a lot of software was still distributed on 3.5" disks. Fast forward 12 years later to 2004. After all that time, modems run at exactly the same speed. V.92(?) was fast when the 386 and 486 were kings but not any more.
Here are a few key facts that frequently come up on the Psychiatry board exam:
According to the DSM IV, there is no caffeine dependence or abuse. There is however caffeine intoxication. On a different note, there is such a thing as nicotine dependence. There is no nicotine abuse or intoxication however.
Curious how there is no mention of the Beatles-Apple lawsuit in the piece. It has been covered on Slashdot previously: http://apple.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/09/11/ 232230&mode=thread&tid=107&tid=141&tid=187&tid=188 . In a nutshell, the Beatles Apple Corp. and Apple Computer had an agreement where Apple Computer would never get in the music business. It seems Apple has blatantly violated this and wants to give the Beatles free money.
This stuff from McBride/SCO is delusional. There big picture is impaired reality testing. It is pointless to try to convince someone their delusion is false. The only thing that can help is some medications.
I wonder if posting stories like this encourages the delusion and the pathologic behaviors from SCO???
Surely there has to be someone working for SCO or one of those investment houses who reads/... We need a whistle blower. Someone will come forward and give us the smoking gun - it is only a matter of time.
You have been playing the latest and greatest video game for a few hours when you make a mistake and pound the keyboard. The hardrives senses it and locks you down without saving. Whoops.
One of Thomas Jefferson's descendants is now licensing votes. He claims he owns all votes. He has even sent out licensing invoices to all American citizens. You can continue to vote at your own risk. Does sound familiar?
The SEC should really look into this. The lawsuit is totally bogus. SCO is definetely not acting in the best interests of its shareholders. SCO seems to be acting in the best interests of Microsoft. It is very curious how Microsoft and SCO reached some kind of licensing agreement in the context of this lawsuit. It is also curious how SCO claims that a single company purchased one of their bogus licenses without disclosing the name. There needs to be full disclosure about the relationship between SCO and Microsoft.
I don't know about you but I'm getting that Christmas morning feeling. This lawsuit is like Santa coming down the chimney and leaving me some pricey tech gear. All this corporate crap from SCO has left me feeling down. It is so refreshing to see that justice may actually occur!
I wrote to the SEC the other day. This lawsuit is frivolous. Basically this is a pump and dump scheme. SCO's executives are hyping up this lawsuit and their company while in the backroom apparently they are selling their own stock.
The question I think everyone is concerned about is what is going to happen to the Diablo II Lord of Destruction patch V1.10? I heard some speculation that some hire-ups ordered this promised patch cancelled and those mention resigned rather than do this!
"There must be clear evidence of clinically significant impairment in social, academic, or occupational functioning"
Translation: 1. The patient is in danger of failing school because of inability to concentrate or get work done 2. Danger of being expelled from school for "hyperactive behaviors" 3. Adults - Unable to hold a job
The public has this illusion that some parent brings their misbehaving child to the doctor, gets a diagnosis of ADHD and gets prescribed a stimulant. This is utter nonsense. If you look at my other thread, one of the main criteria for ADHD is "There must be clear evidence of clinically signficant impairment in social, academic, or occupational functioning". That is the key. For example, this describes a kid is failing classes in danger or so "hyperactive" that they are going to be kicked out of class for behavior problems.
That website is a total quack. For one thing, ADHD is a Psychiatric diagnosis. Dr. Baughman is a Neurologist. That is sort of like an Internal Medicine doctor performing surgery.

Who cares if Tucker Max was honest or not? Posting that crap on the web is in my book the definition of having no class. It may be legal to post stuff like that but it sure aint right.

Use part of it for your business and claim it as a tax deduction

Something fishy is going on here. Who in their right mind would invest in SCO?

Do you have any SCO bashing stuff available? I would order it in a heartbeat!
