Methadone is one of the most effective pain management opioid being produced. It is long acting, it generally doesn't cause the addictive high, it's cheap and it's very easy to produce (doesn't require expensive time release formulations and it's a simple reformulation from opium tar). In pain management practices it's one of the goto medications for pain. It's a misconception that it's only for opiod addiction, in fact it's absolutely one of the worst treatment regimes for that. They use it for that because it doesn't cause the high in most people but because of it's long acting and strength junkies will typically take the methadone dose then hit up with an additional opioid giving them a stronger high with less heroin/pills. It's one of the principle reasons that methadone treatment for narcotic addiction has such a huge failure rate (95%!). Were it not for the insane drug laws medicine would use far more effective treatments, but the government highly restricts which narcotics can be used for addiction treatment.
If people are dieing from it it they aren't being properly instructed by a doctor on the 1/2 life and how to use the drug. In elderly patients it should be closely followed and it should include a sleep study to ensure oxygen deprivation isn't occurring during the night.
Clone? The aspect ratio is completely different! Ipad is 4:3, Galaxy Tab is 16:9. That's old TV versus HDTV. Clone my ass. Besides, as has already been pointed out the Ipad look was used by Samsung in 2006 on a picture frame. So if anyone copied anyone it's Apple copied Samsung.
Multinational means they market and sell products across international borders. It does not mean ownership is international. Without looking I wouldn't be surprised if Samsung is traded openly in more than one country but with more than 90% of shareholders in a single country and more than 50% of the stock concentrated in several individuals hands in that country the company is a Korean Multi-national. The vast majority of employees will be Korean, and all the profit returns to Korea.
IMO they are trying to shutdown on the free DNS providers to try to drive business. I can only hope that an endless amount spring up. I'd be willing to bet that if you want a big payoff setup a free DNS draw in a few hundered thousand free users and then wait to get purchased by DynDNS, you could probably make a career out of starting and selling DNS providers to them.
They purchased Everydns.net one of the last free DNS providers that was independent of domain name purchases and promptly killed the free service. They lost me permanently as a customer for that.
No that isn't what they wanted. What they wanted was to delegate their vote to the people that actually do vote. If you don't vote you have no right to complain about a single thing that your elected officials do. You abrogated your responsibility to others. Were people to actually take seriously their electoral responsibility much could be done to alter the politics of this nation.
Rather than this asinine idea that inaction should be a vote of some sort I'd rather see criminal penalties for NOT voting. If people actually took responsibility and voted and corresponded with their representatives the advantage of special interests would be greatly decreased. But by refusing to vote what you do is empower the special interests by abrogating your vote to them.
Actually they weren't allowed to under previous law. So they simply paid the British and Australians to do it for them and did likewise for them.
Now that law doesn't exist so they don't need to bother with the loophole of paying a friendly country to do the spying job for them. You don't think the massive data center being built at Fort Williams in Utah is for spying on other countries do you?
Not median. Average or Median, whichever is lower and it's should be a constitutional amendment along with a clause that says if Congress passes a budget that spends in excess of tax revenue that they are all bared from running for congress again for the remainder of their life. This still gives Congress the ability to overspend during war or other extreme events but they better mean it cause it's going to cost them their job.
I can't answer your question but I do have a word for you. Sangoma.They have internal ADSL modems that have their own tools including PPPoA that's pretty brainless to setup.
My experience was that PPPoA is fully supported in generic Linux, just the documentation on how to set it up blows balls for English speakers as the highest concentration of Linux users using PPPoA is European, particularly French, German and Dutch. That I don't speak those languages severely limits the available help. If you need help search for the Kiwi and Aussie Linux PPPoA instructions (several LUG's have documentation) as theirs was the best English documentation available when I was looking.
They use lasers to cut the traces on the processor and firmware to disable what they can't cut. The chips are designed with this ability so they can bin and disable to differentiate models and use parts with defects. All the different model numbers are just binned parts with the bad sections disabled.
What you are leaving out of your highly biased one sided statement is that chicken pox never leaves the body, is responsible for god knows how many problems later in life and is the principle cause of shingles in those who have immune system complications later. Leaving out the scarring and other damage the virus does to children. The Herpes virus that composes chicken pox is one of the most highly evolved human viruses. It's very effective at infecting and staying with the host for the remainder of their lives and it's unknown what the long term implications are for infection. In addition this leaves out the child that doesn't get it as a child and ends up getting the far more severe adult version.
They were committing a misdemeanor by blocking a SIDEWALK. You're argument is akin to arguing that it's OK to pepper spray someone for Jaywalking. What the officer did was assault under the color of authority. That he warned them before he indiscriminately sprayed them and the crowd doesn't change the fact that he assaulting individuals who were not a threat. Pepper spray and Tasers have their place, unfortunately, but it's not to spray a bunch of protesters engaged in a non-violent misdemeanor. The purpose of Pepper spray and Tasers is to replace the truncheon and gun in violent situations where the VIOLENT suspect can be subdued rather than shot or beat into restraints.
Unfortunately the effectiveness of these weapons and that they don't generally cause long term damage has caused police to begin using them as payback weapons. Used to inflict pain for disobedience rather than to stop a violent situation where life threatening measures would be called for. What that officer did was nothing short of assault. They could have pulled those people apart by hand, it would have taken time and been tiring but if they wanted them gone that bad they could have done it. Not a single protester threatened those officers with violence and the use of pepper spray only constituted assault. It was used to punish the protesters for refusing to comply.
I'll point out that in 1997 some protesters chained themselves together (with hardened steel pipe to make it even harder to separate them) and the cops selectively( as in not indiscriminately) dabbed their eyes (only the eyelids) with pepper spray swabs, the courts later ruled it was a violation of the 4th amendment. I'll say it one last time, the reason people are outraged is that the cop assaulted under the color of authority every protester there and he should be charged with the upgraded assault charge that carries for every single protester and bystander that got sprayed. Under no circumstance should he ever be allowed to be a peace officer in the state of California again.
If the defense sequestration goes into play defense spending levels will be cut to unsustainable and "hollowed out" level of 2007. Yes it would absolutely gut our millitary to decrease spending to 2007 levels. Many people fail to remember that Clinton and the Republican congress balanced the budget in the 90's by cutting defense spending. Social security has and always will be self funded and it's doubtful that even in the worst possible projections that it will go bankrupt more than 40 years from now (unless you declare the 2 Trillion in debt SS holds as insolvent). Medicare on the other hand is bankrupt right now because GW Bush and the Republican congress shoved a prescription drug program through that was 100% unfunded. In addition they dramatically increased millitary spending and cut taxes substantially on the basis of the coming surplus taxes. Those three items along with the recession's reduction in taxes are the entire basis for the deficit.
If you want to fix the federal deficit you do three things. You cut defense spending dramatically, back to inflation adjusted 1998 levels. Secondly, you increases taxes to support the Medicare prescription drug coverage or you do away with it. Third you eliminate the bush tax cuts. At a point down the road social security needs to cash in those 2 Trillion worth of Bonds it holds and we need a balanced budget with a surplus to cover that time.
Loan guarantees cost the government absolutely nothing as long as the company doesn't declare bankruptcy. Because as the name suggests it's simply a guarantee, not a subsidy. It allows the company to borrow at government interest rates (2-3%) rather than market interest rates (6-9%) with the only cost being the government backs the debt with a payment guarantee in the event the company becomes insolvent.
My parents grew up in the depression. When you have to use the sears catalog for toilet paper, come talk to me about having it hard. Yes some of the people during the depression could grow their own food. So could you, but you don't because you don't know how. Well neither did most of the unemployed during the great depression. Food typically was about 40% of the living expense back then as well and significantly more expensive than today.
Unemployment was upwards of 50% that means half the country had no jobs and this was in an era when women didn't work at all. So in comparison to today that would be 75% unemployment. There weren't jobs, people didn't have land to grow food or hunt even if they knew how because the banks took everyones land. People were starving and dieing on the streets every day. Even farmers who were growing the food couldn't survive because they couldn't sell the food because the majority of people had no money to buy it. After a little while the bank takes the farm because they can't sell enough food to pay their debt.
You are an idiot if you think this is anything at all like the great depression. You don't have any idea what a real depression is call me when every single person you know is unemployed.
The could require a ritual human sacrifice every time I start a game and I would STILL trust them more than EA.
It would be better if they didn't have the database but encrypted info isn't much value as long as they didn't get the salt values or private keys with the data.
That super-volcano also killed all but about 2000 humans and drastically reduced human genetic diversity. There is no question (to me at least) humans would probably survive in some small geographic corner of the world that was least effected by the disaster. But again, it's not the bombs that's going to do most of the killing, it's the killing that will start when people start to starve to death that will do in most of the worlds population.
Starvation will turn the most "civilized" person in the world into a raving cannibal or suicidal. Combine those two and you have a recipe for disaster as some hoard food, other take up arms to take that food and even other turn to cannibalism to survive or even mass suicide. What few areas remain viable food producing regions will likely be overwhelmed with refugees and even nation-states trying to take them over that chances are the productive value will be destroyed in short order through armed conflict over the ground.
There is one thing I'm absolutely positive of and that's faced with starvation things will get ugly very quickly. Even if a nuclear winter effect lasted half a year most of the world would starve in short order. Only a few governments in this world have large food storage reserves that could survive a crop failure.
One other minor point, when comparing against volcano's, even super volcanoes you need to remember that their eruptions don't put as much material as a percentage into the upper atmosphere (where the solar attenuation is highest) in comparison to say a 500kton air-burst nuclear weapon does. Because of how nuclear weapons are used where all the destructive power is in the vacuum created by the fireball, rather than the explosion itself, creates a situation where that vacuum sucks most of the debris from the blast into the upper atmosphere (65-150,000 feet) whereas volcanoes tend to put most of their material into the lower atmosphere (65,000) where it falls out within weeks. Toba's effects were some of the longest lasting on record but only a very small percentage of the ejected material made it above 65,000 feet.
It's not the actual detonation that does it in. Detonation of around 100 modern warheads (approx 400-500 kiloton, airburst) within a short period (not spread out over decades like the testing weapons) would put enough debris into the upper atmosphere to trigger a nuclear winter that would last about 20 years. Long enough to wipe out most of the worlds populations of large mammals including humans. See it's not the Bombs that kill everyone, it's the starvation afterwards.
In this modern era people forget just how easy it is to starve to death. The US could survive one year of total crop failure with only minor starvation but you push it to 2 or 20 and we're in cannibalism time. After that first year when starvation sets in everyone's going to go bat shit crazy and start killing each other.
Jews are ethnically Semitic, just like Arabs. Stop trying to argue the jewish religion is a fucking ethnic group, it's not and it's a god damned silly argument. I can't believe you are persisting in attempting to argue that a religion defines an ethnic group.
So what are the other ethnic groups according to you? Muslim, Hindu, Catholic, Mormon and Lutheran to name a few?
Jewish is not an ethnicity. Semitic is the ethnicity Jews derive from. Arabs are also Semitic. I'm not even sure how you went off on this tangent, as you appear to be arguing that Jewish is a separate ethnicity, its not, it's a religion not ethnic origin. Jews and Arabs are from the same ethnic group, the only real difference between the groups is the religion, which has nothing to do with genetic ethnicity. Palestinians aren't ethnically Jewish because Jewish isn't an ethnicity.
That would be like saying anglo-saxons are ethnically Christian. It's nonsense. You appear to need to study what ethnicity is and how ethnic groups are divided. Let me give you a hint, it's not dictated by the religion they choose.
The people of that region yes used to be residents of the nations in question at one time. That doesn't change the fact that they are ethnically Semitic. Apparently you are under the wrong assumption that Semitic = Jewish. It doesn't, in general Semitic means a descendant of Abraham and Arabs (almost all Palestinians are of Arab descent) are descendants of Abraham.
Now it's true that if you killed every Palestinian you wouldn't have wiped out an entire ethnic group, but ethnic cleansing is by definition trying to remove an entire ethnic group from a region. Genocide is the compete elimination of an ethnic group and the OP didn't say Israel was engaged in genocide, but is in fact arguing Israels (unspoken) intent is to cleanse Israel and the occupied territories of non-Jewish Arab's, hence the correct term ethnic cleansing.
The OP is also correct in that being anti-zionism is not Anti-Semitic because Palestinians are Semitic as well. To be a true anti-semitic you need to hate both Jews and Arabs. Otherwise you just hate one specific group of the Semitic ethnic group.
The Reporters were told not to turn their headsets on until the show began. (Probably a bit silly in that Sarkosky/Obama should have turned their microphones off until they wished to be heard). As the conversation was meant to be private it would have been a serious violation (as in crime under french law) for anyone in attendance that was a French journalist to report on the content of what they illicitly overheard.

But the point here is that under French law (privacy of conversation) they COULDN'T report on what they overheard (or they could be arrested) because they broke the conference rule by turning on their headsets early.
That's the little bit you won't hear in any of the US reporting.
Had no idea? Not likely. Didn't care? Likely. He's not a bad president for most of the reasons the GOP claim, he's a bad president cause he's not a leader, he's a negotiator. I like that he's smart but he's just not cut out to be a president. At this point I would prefer Hillary, at least she was a leader. I might stomach a vote for Romney just cause of this, I'd really prefer Huntsman but the GOP runs anyone else other than Romney or Huntsman and I'm probably going to be voting for the non-leader again because the rest of the GOP field is frankly crazy.
That's got to be one of the funniest posts I've ever read. Either you are a very good troll or you are a seriously in need of medication and some state sponsored help.
