What people don't seem to understand is that this medication is basically just a strong cup of coffee with a time release coating. How many of you have philosophical objections to that? There must be a lot of Mormons on this board.
Its really easy to figure out if your kid was misdiagnosed. People without ADHD who take the medication (e.g. Concerta) have a very different reaction than, say, my kid who barely notices it but is able to concentrate in class.
As long as the casino prominently posts a sign saying that it reserves the right to confiscate any winnings that it believes are excessive, it should be able to bring charges.
I suppose you could bring charges against someone who could prove conclusively that the machine was defective. As long as there is a possibility, however remote, that the machine is functioning correctly I don't see how the casino can complain. After all, isn't the possibility of a lucky streak is what brings people there?
You don't have to go to disneyland to see it, you don't have to watch it on that ridiculous dome shaped imax screen, it is a full length and pretty good (in the case of Monster House) movie. Now I'm wondering how they are ever going to make a live action 3-D movies. That would be a trip...
I honestly don't understand your attitude. Are you willing to pay twice as much for a TV that doesn't die for ten years? You are losing money (interest income) on the deal, and you spend five extra years watching a crappy old TV!
More to the point, you maximize efficiency if the product lifetime is nearly equal to the length of time before the average person wants a new one. Its like serving size at a restaurant, too large and you waste food/money, too small and you lose more customers than you make up in cost savings.
Sure, some folks like to keep their old cellphones for year after year, and others want a new one every six months. You can bet that the manufacturers are going to aim somewhere in the middle.
Ok, now try and actually use it with your ipod. If by some chance that works, try taking it back to a windows machine or a mac and see if it still works there.
There is nothing 'of course' about all this. If a typical, intelligent user even hears about problems involving Linux and ipod, they're going to steer clear. Who needs that kind of trouble?
I can imagine other things that might wipe us out. At one point a life form appeared which dumped lots of oxygen into the atmosphere. (Plants, they're called, I guess.) Many life forms who were used to the old atmosphere died. If something similar happened and changed the composition of the atmosphere, or changed the average temperature on the plane to something much warmer or colder, or replaced our food supply with organisms which were toxic to us, we might die out fairly quickly.
Terrorism is an inconsequential threat to this country. Statistically, it is inconsequential to the individual, quite similar to the threat of dying in a "conventional" airplane crash. Obviously it is consequential to its victims, the same as any other threat, so your point has no real point.
When the Applicant has completed the tasks and skills tests, expressed an understanding of the Social Contract, the Debian Free Software Guidelines and Debian Policies and Procedures and been properly identified, it is time for the Application Manager to make a final report to the Front Desk and the Debian Account Manager.
This report includes statements from the Advocate and other people who have worked with the Applicant, the completed identification information, all discussions between the Application Manager and the Applicant and details about the Skill checks, as well a comment from the Application Manager.
The Application Manager will include a recommentation to either accept or reject the Applicant.
To use similar, but more reasonable logic to the previous poster, if it continues to double every five years, that means the entire 6096 mm will be gone in x years where

Not to mention missing the opportunity to do things which require concentration, like math.

Government is not a pass/fail quiz, the question "is it OK?" has no meaning. It is always as good or as bad as we make it.

You might as well ask if you can trust someone who doesn't cut his hair and clean his eyeglasses to free memory on the heap.

Sorry, I misread the post. Pretend my reply was to one of the people who are outraged that their gadgets don't outlast them.

This list is an insult.

Gosh, you wouldn't happen to be an expert by any chance? What a coincidence!

Debian doesn't have a purely merit based admission process: Check out http://www.debian.org/devel/join/nm-step5:

When the Applicant has completed the tasks and skills tests, expressed an understanding of the Social Contract, the Debian Free Software Guidelines and Debian Policies and Procedures and been properly identified, it is time for the Application Manager to make a final report to the Front Desk and the Debian Account Manager.
This report includes statements from the Advocate and other people who have worked with the Applicant, the completed identification information, all discussions between the Application Manager and the Applicant and details about the Skill checks, as well a comment from the Application Manager.
The Application Manager will include a recommentation to either accept or reject the Applicant.

To use similar, but more reasonable logic to the previous poster, if it continues to double every five years, that means the entire 6096 mm will be gone in x years where
2 ^ (x / 5)= 6096
(x / 5) log 2 = log 6096
x = 5 log 6096 / log 2
or 63 years.
