Now you'll have to pee in a cup before SAT exams and Jeopardy tournaments. Wonder if kids fry their brains on a marathon caffeine study binge followed up with a hit of this before their exams.
Even neater is the possibility of temporarily removing memories and then bringing them back later, something like spy work or undercover jobs. Give someone valuable information, wipe it... get them to negotiate with someone and agree to remember it after payment is sent. Then they give him a shot of the stuff... whooops, been screwed, he never know it at all! Dead spy... happy rich boss. Lotta potential here.
Perhaps the "Killer Bee", pesticide spraying on communities, handling uranium, injecting plutonium, etc...
have caused some to feel that scientists rush into new discoveries and are not being completely honest when they proclaim them "Perfectly safe!" Plus the continuing trend to announce huge world-changing discoveries with the nonchalant expectation that it'll soon be packaged and sold real soon. It seems the rush for profit and fame have crippled the scientific QA department.
Yeah, like no kidding! It must have been so freaky living back then... every year gets smaller and smaller, everyone wonder what's gonna happen after year 1 BC ends. I still can't figure out who picked the starting year they counted down from, strange it was never documented anywhere. Weird times man.
All Intel Macs can boot from USB hard drives. That wasn't an option with the PPC stuff, but Apple added it a while back, perhaps preemptively for uses like this. It was always stupid only being able to boot from firewire anyways.
That's the theory anyways. But as a deaf person I've tried unsuccessfully many times to get Closed Caption support added or enhanced in open source projects. Unfortunately since it doesn't personally affect anyone else on the teams I get the usual "Sorry, maybe you can add it yourself" replies. Sadly proprietary software meets my needs better at times.
Hope that's not how I came off sounding, I'm just trying to say that even people who don't use recreational drugs don't have a good reason to use this "vaccine". My main concern is that something like this becomes popular in the usual "think of the children" way, kids get vaccines for stuff then later on we find out there's some stupid problem is causes later on. Besides it takes away their right to decide for themselves.
Yeah I agree with you that all those things can be called "drugs" I'm not certain what the correct terminology is for the different categories. Like I said, whatever painkillers they have are fine with me, opium derived or morphine or whatever works. I just avoid unnecessary drug usage since my family has a big history with different addictions and I'm most likely genetically inclined to it, so why start problems for myself? Everyone is free to do what they like with their lives and free time I have no problems with that and don't believe in legislating my beliefs onto others.
I've never done ANY drugs and have no desire to. So lets say as someone suggested this could be used for employment. (That's wrong on so many levels) I still wouldn't take vaccines for the top 10 drugs or whatever since you never know if in the future I'm going to need some sort of related chemical. What if I'm in an accident and none of the painkillers work anymore? Not too smart to go shutting off all the "bad" receptors I think.
That's what I was thinking, just strap the wiimote to the head and flip the numbers around a little to do the same thing. No need for special hardware that will end up like the power glove, used in 2 games and then collecting dust.
Plus we can yell out "Yo mamma wears a wiimote with a chinstrap!!"
It all started with the iPhone. Apple is so ahead of their time, first product to be "bricked" without actually being BRICKED. PCs are just now catching up.
As the Source does not have to be revealed, something within Apple, perhaps at a significant level, will not be losing their job for divulging information
You must be thinking the same thing I'm thinking... that Apple has an artificially intelligent cluster of Octo-core Macs working at the executive level! And it's not happy either...
Basically when we observe the actions of others we mentally mimic it in order to understand what we're seeing. So in a sense when you see someone commit a violent action a small part of you shares with it.
I know it disagrees with the politics on gaming and how many simply are unwilling to accept the idea of outside factors influencing our minds, but this seems to be a basis for the idea that repeated exposure to violent materials can have some effect on us. The question is of course how much effect it has on each person, if there will be any changes to behavior and who is more susceptible to it than others. (Notice I never said ban violent video games nor movies)
Its interesting to me the idea that only God can create life. I dont know if there's a scriptural basis for it or if its something people just assume is true. Perhaps those that believe in immortal souls would view it differently than those who believe a person or animal IS a soul like Jehovah's Witnesses and 7th Day Adventists. If life requires some spiritual soul then yes it would make sense to say only God could make life. However if we really are just our bodies then I see no reason that man couldnt eventually duplicate what God has made.
Whatever happened to that term, I don't see it used much anymore and it certainly isn't being prevented. OS vender sells anti-virus subscriptions... sounds good to me! Internet service providers being contracted to provide free Wifi and shrink their own customer base... sounds good to me! Huh... wonder why it didn't work out? I'm in Portland where MetroFi is spreading their add supported WiFi service, as soon as a hotspot opens that's accessible from my place I'm canceling my DSL. Clearly the ISPs notice a trend of canceling subscribers as free WiFis roll out. It's basically going to kill them. So how could anyone trust Earthlink to roll this out in the first place? I guess the idea is "trust them" even though logically they shouldn't be trusted for that project. Perhaps "conflict of interest" is just a rude phrase these days.
If you check out TFA you'll see that it looks like an old Nintendo Robbie with a computer stuck in it's chest. So to answer your question, you don't need to wait for a special adult version of these, you can hump your own computer for free.
Maybe I'm weird but the way I'm used to doing it is to go into the Documents folder, select all... copy, go to the destination Documents folder and paste. It'll then throw up a warning for every conflicting file name asking if I want to overwrite or leave the original, it also has a check box for "Use this answer for all overs". Maybe it's just my command line background but it seems logical to me.
Isn't it standard UNIX to delete the target before moving a folder to an already used name? First it may complain about the destination already existing, then you can redo the command with a force option, isn't that essentially what you do in the OS X GUI when overwriting a folder?
I can tell you one new features that hasn't been mentioned by Apple officially. Resolution Independence. People say it's gone since Apple hasn't said anything about it, but it's all over the iPhone which is running Leopard. Multi-touch and Rez Ind are coming.... they've even updated some of the System Prefs to be more touch-friendly. Seems like it's going to pop out in a point release like they've done with other features in the past.
Any of you gotten it to install on a 800MHz or less G4 yet? How's it run compared to Tiger on the same hardware? Compared to Tiger how does it do on a 1GB system? I remember when I upgraded grandpa's iMac G4 from Panther to Tiger telling him it would be much faster, it turned into a dog until I upgraded his RAM, then it was noticeably faster than before. So how much RAM will I need for Leopard to make an Intel Mac faster rather than slower?
Can't wait til these babies start rolling out as it'll seriously push the display market with some nice competition to increase pixel density and so on. Once people figure out how to hack these things it's going to seriously affect LCD prices. Wheee. Sadly that'll lead to DRM usage on them so people don't hijack their ads. Eh.

Your usage of the word "until" seems to imply that Chuck needs to kick more than once. You are sadly mistaken.
Not to mention Bill Clinton's definition of sex.

I think the tag is a bit overused as well though.

I figured it out! It's the NUMBER!! Really had me going there. :)
It's the MARK OF THE BEAST!!!

Just like the Euro was...
And credit cards...
And WIndows...
And RFID...
Aaaand

iPhones are not bricked by firmware upgrades. Please quit spreading that, you're a longtime slashdot user you know what bricked means.
Powerbook owners where are you??
That's what I was thinking, just strap the wiimote to the head and flip the numbers around a little to do the same thing. No need for special hardware that will end up like the power glove, used in 2 games and then collecting dust.

That's no laughing matter... sodomy is bad enough but gomorrady is truly unspeakable.
