No one does Jello shooters anymore. At least not in that tax bracket. You get people to drink them for you, while you smirk at them over cognac and caviar.
Excel 2003 has 65,536 rows. one number off... Coincidence?
No, the "one number off" is because we humans like to begin counting with the number "1" while computers start counting from "0". So in reality there are 65535 rows, ie (2^16) - 1
Schroedinger's cat may or may not have died of old age by now, depending on whether or not it survived the initial box/gassing experience. Somewhere in Vienna near Schroedinger's house, there is a gravesite which may or may not contain cat bones.
The author assumes that the parallel universe interpretation is correct
Ahh, but the parallel universe interpretation HAS to be correct because the mere fact that we think it's possible collapses the quantum waveforms and MAKES it possible - see?
You are arguing about circular references in a circular, ok sorry "quantum", field...?
How about influencing a real world call, emergent call

Could some one show me that the cadmium used in the photovoltaic has little or no environmental impact please?
You don't need to worry about the environmental impact of cadmium, but rather the environmental impact of cadmium versus the environmental impact of current energy production from fossil fuels, etc.

Usage Note: Throughout most of its history in English myriad was used as a noun, as in a myriad of men. In the 19th century it began to be used in poetry as an adjective, as in myriad men. Both usages in English are acceptable, as in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "Myriad myriads of lives." This poetic, adjectival use became so well entrenched generally that many people came to consider it as the only correct use. In fact, both uses in English are parallel with those of the original ancient Greek. The Greek word mrias, from which myriad derives, could be used as either a noun or an adjective, but the noun mrias was used in general prose and in mathematics while the adjective mrias was used only in poetry.
After all, Congress is more than willing to grant the Bush administration retroactive protection from prosecution as a war criminal... why not help his corporate buddies while they're at it?
You can't discount it much more than "free". But everyone in Russia as been getting pirated XP for "free" anyway. So price is obviously not the reasoning behind this.
Thalidomide: Originally prescribed to combat morning sickness in pregnant women (with horrific results) with absolutely no evidence to suggest that it was really anything more than a placebo, it was subsequently withdrawn from market.
It's used in the third world to treat leprosy, and it is VERY effective.
seriously dude, ketamine has been replaced by numerous less-harmful drugs for literally all of it's applications.
In the United States. You are making an assumption that I am in the USA. I am not.
As for ketamine being "pretty damaging" - lol. You can't learn medicine by reading wikipedia. It has less risk of cardiopulmonary depression than diazepam, has a longer half life than midazolam, has none of the serious depressing/nauseous effects of opioids, and is PERFECT for sedating small children for an hour or so while certain procedures are performed (ultrasound, CT, etc). It's dissociative effect prevent it from being used as a mainstream anesthetic for surgical procedures but for sedation it's great.
fascism/fæzm/ [fash-iz-uhm] -noun 1.

Like it or not, even the media that slashdot geeks love (star wars, heroes, firefly, star trek, matrix) is produced by big companies that take a big risk in producing content that will sell.
Cry me a river. Despite the fact that Episode III was available one the internet BEFORE being available in cinemas, it still made 50 million dollars on its FIRST DAY. Your statements are incorrect. Please provide concrete FACTUAL examples of piracy ruining a specific media release or putting a media company out of business.
In fact, I can provide the opposite. Back in the early 80's absolutely EVERYONE copied DOS, and absolutely EVERYONE had a "free" copy of "Flight Simulator". Yet still this company called Microsoft managed to grow into one of the biggest companies in the world. How about Windows and Office - almost the entire 3rd world is running pirated copies of these programs, and yet Microsoft isn't out of business. How about Id Software, which was founded with DOOM, a piece of shareware?
Media companies can STILL make money. They are under the impression that they can make MORE by eliminating copyright infringement, and this is simply not true.

It IS a noun. It is also an adjective. Please check your facts before trying to correct others.

Invading your privacy since 2001!
Coincides with "USA, invading your country since 1989"...
It might take 10 years, 20 years, fifty, or whatever.
Judging by history, how does a couple thousand sound?
The international oil companies are going to get their share of Iraqi oil once the region stabilizes. (Emphasis mine)
Uhh, excuse me but exactly what are you smoking, and can I have some?

No, I am giving people medicine to people. Duh. However I think I am going to have to re-check my stock because someone might be high.

If that's not authoritarian I don't know WHAT is.
Yeah, so is fucking twelve year old kids in Thailand.
Umm it's not legal, it's just not enforced. However you are still breaking the law if you do this.
Distributing drugs is illegal
Oh goodness me, what am I going to do with all that morphine, fentanyl, diazepam, and ketamine I have under lock and key at my clinic?
Distributing drugs is not ALWAYS illegal.
Maybe, but stealing is also a crime,
As far as I know, media companies still have their movies, music, softwares, etc. What do you mean, "stealing"?
Hey, if you hear a song on the radio and then remember it the next day, remember you are "stealing"!
the real terrorists are the people who steal intellectual property and make it available for others free of charge.
