You change your focus, combine events and are unable to stay on topic. Using one argument as source to to prove another. Switching back an forth between traveling with medications to purchasing controlled substances in a foreign country and importing them.
I have not changed focus or topic during this this conversation. You are indeed allowed to travel between countries, US included, with your prescription medication. This entire thread started when I said that it was perfectly ok to take your prescription medication with you when traveling, and you responded by saying that was an "urban myth". None of this has anything to do with "my beliefs". The facts are that you are allowed to travel with prescription medications.
I have no idea why you think the way you do, or how you can read your own links and still think that.
There is absolutely no doubt that people are allowed to travel internationally with their own prescriptions. None whatsoever.
People who visit the US are absolutely allowed to do so with their prescription medication. Legally. They may be required to show proof of the prescription, but as long as they can do that. And as long as their prescription is not on the list of medications that are not allowed, no felony is being commited.
There are plenty of resources available for you to research this. You are completely misreading the link you have provided.
The United States, in spite of any recent tightening of certain freedoms has NOT made it a felony for people to travel with their prescription medications. I understand that you are certain that it is indeed a felony for someone to bring their own prescription medication with them when they enter the US, but that is not the case.
It isn't relevant, but I'm 40. I travel extensively and am dealing with aging parents who also travel extensively (both of them have had to investigate this very subject). What about you. Aside from the linked article, which I insist you are misunderstanding, do you have any other reason for holding on to this belief?
drug that has not been approved for sale by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA),
That refers to drugs which are not approved by FDA. If you are taking an experimental drug in Europe that the FDA has not approved. It does not talk about medications which are approved by the FDA. Medical Marijuana for example would be something you cannot bring with you to the US from a country that allows that. But if you have a prescription for antibiotics and that same antibiotic is an FDA approved drug, you are certainly allowed to carry your medication with you provided that you are able to show your presciption for that medication. This scenario would not be considered importing either.
If I originate my travels in Spain leave with substances controlled by the US (prescription medications) and bring them into the USA it's a felony.
I am not sure where the communication breakdown is happening, but EVERYONE is allowed to travel between europe and the US LEGALLY with THEIR OWN prescriptions.
If you originate your travels in Spain, and have with you, medication prescribed to you in Spain by a doctor, you can legally travel to the United States with your legally prescribed medications.
They are not "looking the other way" when they don't arrest you. There is nothing illegal about traveling with your own prescribed medications.
You are the one who started by telling me I was spreading "urban myths", and then linking to pages which had nothing to do with traveling with your own medication on your person.
Imagine for a moment a world in which your position were a reality. People would be just randomly arrested for felonies while traveling with their own prescriptions. There would be a huge racket of American doctors and pharmcists at American airports charging fortunes so that people who just got off of planes could get the medications that they needed. Your position is just ludicrous. Even if you travel accross the US border to Mexico (or canada) to get prescriptions, that is legal, assuming you have with you the prescription from the doctor.
You are the one with all the personal digs. I don't know what your fucking problem is with your comments about urban myths, slow learners, etc. anyway, I think this conversation has done all it can do for us. thankfully it wasn't in an active thread or we both would have lost a shitload of mod points.
I replied to this "Try brining prescription medications over on your person. " IN my original post.
All I have ever been talking about is bringing prescription medications "over on your person". That should have been clear since my original post. Sure, you misspelled "bringing", but I still understood you. That is why I specifically quoted "Try brining prescription medications over on yor person". I wanted to make it perfectly clear that I was only talking about bringing your prescription medications with you.
You have no idea what you are talking about. You are allowed to travel with your prescription medications. Again, you link to a site that talks about purchasing via internet and receiving by mail, which you can't even do here in Spain.
However, you are allowed to travel with your prescrption medications. This is true throughout Europe, the US and just about every country in the world. (yes, there are some exceptions)
The page you linked refers to importation by mail.
I said that you are allowed to carry with you prescription medication prescribed to you with no problem. In nearly all countries, you are permitted to travel with your medication.
So can it with your Urban Myth nonsense.
Try brining prescription medications over on your person.
Prescription medication is perfectly ok.
Although, I often wonder about things like my astma medicine, which does not require a prescription in Spain, but does in the US. I have never had a problem, but I have often wondered if they could accuse me of drug trafficking or something because of astma medicine.
Any guesses which European country requires cell phone providers to record where their customers make calls, and then allows them to give that data away without disclosing that they have done so?"
Every bit of that is true. Especially: And many times it's something funky with the user interface that could be fixed fairly easily by the developers, if they cared or could quit polishing fancy skins for 10 minutes
Visio has been the big holdback for me for a long, long time.
And visio is still much better than Dia. To do what I need to do in Dia takes me 3 times longer than in Visio. I am sure I will get faster in Dia, but Visio does a better job. There is no doubt about it. I hope that some project like Open Office will adopt Dia and make it better.
As for OpenOffice versus MS Office, man I wouldn't use Office if it was free. I haven't missed office even a little.
I ended up switching completely because most everything I need to do is now faster to do in Linux. The servers I connect to all day are all linux and there is no reason for me to be on a different OS anymore.
I also gave up windows entirely around the first of this year. I had been running debian on one system and windows on the laptop up to that point, but more and more I was using debian for almost everything. Visio was a big deal for me too, but I am getting used to using Dia. Visio is better, there is no doubt, but Dia is adequate, and I am slowly converting all my drawings to Dia. I sure wish there was something that could read.vsd files.
The other thing that kept me on windows so long was that I could not get my work's VPN to work on linux, but I was trying to get it going on Fedora. It seems to work ok on Ubuntu. Thankfully, the wireless drivers also work well on ubuntu, so at this point, I have very little need for windows.
The same contact - a data center expert - suspects that Switch will struggle to power the SuperNAP. "They're in the middle of the desert and will need almost 3 million gallons of water per day for blowdown and evaporation for their 30,000 ton evaporative cooling plant."
This is all very fascinating, but is there any way this place really needs 3 million gallons of water per day? That just seems extreme.
That can't be right. Can it?
We with with python for some things a while back, and I am now putting those back into PHP, which is what everything else in the company is in. I think some of these were kind of trendy and were adopted sooner than they needed to be. I don't hate python either, but I think we are better off in PHP. I had recently heard a few people saying that PHP is obsolete or whatever, but I don't think it is going anywhere anytime soon.
He actually says the exact opposite of most of your points.
He had one of the best rails programmers there was. It wasn't a problem with not knowing rails. He still wasn't finished after 2 years. He could accomplish the same thing faster in PHP.
He specifically said that using and learning Rails helped him change his thought process for the better.
I can totally relate to this guy. I am going through something very similar, ableit on a slightly smaller scale.
We put a key system in Python a while back. After dealing with it for over a year, we are also going back to PHP. Everything else in the company is PHP. It just doesn't make sense to have this one Python. We can customize and improve the PHP a lot faster than the python.

That would be the UK.
I have to use Exchange and until I can effectively use it in Linux I cannot get away from Windows.
Thunderbird will talk to your exchange server with no problem. You can also import your pst files from outlook into thunderbird.
What you lose is the shared calendaring, but surely you can live without that.

Same goes for phones and other battery operated devices.

Well, that seems reasonable. I'm glad they found a good way to deal with this situation.

Somehow I don't think the "prize money" will come close to covering costs.
Selling the technology later may very well prove profitable.
That is nonsense. they are using grossly over inflated numbers. Kind of like when the RIAA claims they are being damaged by people downloading music.
