    Need more evidence: Had he consumed milk in the past 4 days? How much sleep had he gotten every night? What percentage of caffeine was in his blood? How recently had his brakes been inspected?

    It seriously distorts your sense of time. I also hate sitting behind a stoner at a stop sign when he's waiting for it to turn green.

    Don't get me wrong, I think it should be an individual's right to choose his methods of chemical recreation, but there ARE consequences that need to be addressed. And nobody wants their doctor stoned, right?

    The Obama/Holder administration has been fairly aggressive in California in shutting down producers. Those medical pot shops do NOT operate with impunity, they are randomly raided and shut down on a regular basis, in addition to being robbed by the street pharmacists they replaced.

    Yep.

    It's GOOD to be an important supplier to a black project with a black budget. *cough* NSA *cough*

    There will be trainloads sent to Bluffdale, Utah, in boxes labeled as containing Donnie and Marie CD's. I imagine much if not most of the development was done by SAIC contractors with TS clearances. There will no doubt be a few thousand crippled versions marketed though the normal channels.

    Oh, while I'm thinking about it do you know anybody who needs 200 Dialogic D/41D ISA voice cards?

    And yet putting them on eBay costs next to nothing and you'll never know until you try.

    At one point after a project failed to get off the ground I had about 100 new-in-box Supermicro ATX motherboards each with a couple of ISA slots. Turns out that after the death of ISA, those motherboards started gaining value until they were worth more than they cost new. So I sold them all and made thousands of dollars**.


    **This is a partially a lie, I was lazy and just threw them away.

    The bottom might not have much of a heat signature but the top damn sure will unless they fly a super huge umbrella over it.

    A few minor mods to a stinger or similar: shoot straight up, let it glide down looking for the top of an object.

    It CAN pay for itself, though, if they sell advertising space on the underside.

    You might want to double check your facts there. "Inactive" isn't the same as "abolished". Or were you not required to register for the draft as a condition for about 100 other things?

    you might want to check your facts on that. just because it isn't currently being used doesn't mean it has been abolished. Local draft boards still exist.
