Actually only an idiot would grow Mj in Hemp. They could, and produce some REAL low quality weed. Problem is that the hemp will pollinate the weed and create some low grade seedy shit. England actually has used hemp as a control for growing weed.
Oh yeah, and since the technology is already here we could start immediately. If I only had a subroutine for rant on the blind drug war... To bad I don't and I have to go to work!
The iPod lounge forums has a shitload of these. Some ranging from hacks to good, professional jobs like this story. Of course you could just get a Smart car, since it has an iPod option. Of course it is only for Europe, which is crap since I really want one, and it is kinda an antithesis to the Explorer.
Too bad ALL DESKTOP ENVIRONMENTS ARE CRAP! Seriously, this might seem like flame-bait but they are horrible interfaces that should be scapped. Modes are bad, applications are modes. That is one of many fundamental mistakes that current desktops make. It is not just that we live in old ideas and technologies (like x86 vs. PPC) but that these ideas were/are fundamentally wrong. There are lives lost because of bad interfaces. Gnome, KDE, XP, OS X, whatever, one is only the lesser evil of another. Read the Humane Interface.
Their outputted html is amazing, the CSS is elegant but very very powerful, they leverage as much of their Zope underpinnings as possible, it is quite extendable, has a nice management environment, international support is getting very good, and it's interface is great (they actually have interface engineers on the team), it is a very good CMS. It is easy to jump into too, there is a good amount of, if scattered, documentation. Being able to bridge between news sites and group-ware is pretty encompassing. It might not be the absolute best solution for every situation, but it is getting there with its plug in architecture.
"The world population is rapidly aging -- at least in developed countries. So researchers everywhere are trying to find new ways to help elderly people to continue to live at home....Robot... It costs more than $100,000..."
Um, yeah.
Actually this is exactly what they did. Once we told them we were going to fight it they pressed _more_ charges. We couldn't sell pipes because they would just bust down on us again, doubling the number of charges. The headshop went to shit quickly. Everyone was trying to run a business while not knowing if they would be spending decades in federal prison and after that being laden with untold amounts in fines.
After months of _getting to_ court and spending thousands on lawyers we caved. The DOJ and whatever Ashcroft wants it to do has an unlimited budget. We realized that it wasn't worth it. Most of us had deteriorating mental heath, some considering suicide. We took 2 years federal probation.
It really isn't funny. No one smoking pot. Some places can still sell wooden and clay pipes, everyone can sell rolling papers, and you can always buy and apple at a supermarket. Some have gotten better at rolling, some are putting their health in worse danger (depending on your view of MJ on the lungs) because they use tinfoil and pop-cans.
What really IS funny is many glassblowers started making glass dildos. No joke.
The next toolkit that will be anything other than a rehashing (from an UI designer standpoint) of our current ones will be one based on the science of interface design. For a good overview read Jef Raskin's amazing book The Humane Interface and an implementation try THE. It seems like it is only for the Mac, grab the source and compile it. Such things as applications and file systems have got to go. It will be as fast or faster than the command line and at least as easy and usually easier than any GUI we have today.
DON'T ARGUE WETHER ACC IS APPLE's PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY!!! I come her for intelligent conversation, and bikering over a really dead subject for the nth time is a waste of time. AAC is not apples Fairplay which is wrapped around it is Yes/No, Ogg Vorbis/FLAC is/isn't better
Okay, with that out of the way, please talk about something new!
Maybe now the CS department in my high school won't be headed by all the asshole gold diggers who can't really program. If you can't do, you teach is a very true for my school district. They bused my two hours a day to another school for a year to learn shit that I would've taught myself in 3 months if I just had the spare computer lying around. It was run by a former football scholarshipee (nothing against football or sport scholarships, but this guy had _no_ interest in computers before) that was a dick in general. Later I nearly taught the web design course at my school, instead it was taught by someone who order videos of someone else coding. Just screen capture.
They pushed computers as the way to become a millionaire, just like CNA's, welding, ad infinitum. High demand/placement + 2 year degree ? end all for jobs. A good education starts with interest in the field, NOT with the lust for a job.
Not to mention many of us spoof the user agent so we don't have to deal with "Windows IE only, please come back later." How many browsers is that the default for? I wish some kind of better statistical information was out there, very hard to determine from website logs. The biggest collection pool is the Google Zeitgeist, I believe there is some JavaScript way to determine browser that user agent spoofing doesn't fool. If Google incorporated that we might have a better idea.
The entire OS including all applications should do this. Even with a Gig of ram, several minutes to hours could be simply saved to disk, compressed. And I am sure that I am taking a simplistic, non elegant approach. I doubt this is how Opera does this.
Okay okay, from a real Macaddict;)
SoundJam engine is about the only thing that resembles iTunes. The interface is almost entirely different. There was no central library. G-Force is licensed, simply re-branded. It is/never was part of SoundJam. There are plug-ins for iTunes, SoundJam, Audion, WMP, MusicMatch, and Sonique. The latest versions are a lot better looking than the Apple re-branded and have better controls.
Just got done reading rebel code. In it Linus says he has had marketing people come and praise him for Tux, saying it is a really great logo. IBM thinks it is good enough to spraypaint it all over NYC and San Francisco. Linus has had this to say: "Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had."
Social skills are not something that is just learned. It is a physical part of the brain. Something that these very smart kids often don't have because other things are taking up the space. For dealing with situations I would have him read Akido in Everyday Life. It reframes the situation to something similar to a geometric equation. It is not, how do I say something meaner, but how do I help this person, this is anti-productive and unhealthily for both of us.
To nurture his limited social skills place him with like children. They will change him enough. Practice will only make his social skills better. Remember your first girlfriend, job, group of friends? It got easier after the first time, and easier after that. However he will probably never be as good at it as most. It is important he can deal with those people that are mean to him. That is what Aikido is for, dealing with the situation, and ventually turning that person into something as close to a friend as one can get. that will change him. People hang out with like people, they are happier that way.
To some School IS everything, teach him it is NOT! The problem with school is that the fringe is a very small group because of the four year age range and the forced nature of schooling. It is like a job, with immature people, who get away with shit they never would at a job. Make his life outside of school more improtant, move him to a better, maybe magnet school. Many schools have "release" time where they can go to special places. Set this up at the end of school so he can spend some time somewhere he is accepted.
Enough of this Disney shit people, even though he is not a woman and probably not gay, we try to change ourselves to much for others. We do no need to change our physical self to extreme measures, loose our ability to talk, leave our family, friends, home, everything we know, change our culture, and side with the WORST POSSIBLE PEOPLE for others. Let alone a cute guy you saw for twenty seconds. This is what culture feeds us subconsciously.
Sorry if some of this does not make sense, some is just old anger.
It would make a nice server if I hadn't seen the bandwidth restrictions. If it is a *stable* 2.2 Mbps bandwidth and the restrictions become reasonable then it would be a decent server.
1) If this takes off there certainly will be a compatible minicard for your laptop too. 2) Cheaper than paying your DSL, Starbucks, etc. Commuting, in the park, etc. 3) While stealing is a nice thing some of us don't have that advantage. We might want 2.2 Mbps throughput at a decent price. Last time I checked it was $500 set up fee including a stationary antenna, and $100 for that kind of throughput to my house. This is also MUCH cheaper than my $60 Cable 1 Mbps connection. This would make for a very nice home server.

Or we could switch immediately to hemp which also eats up CO2, require ZERO modification to current engines, and support farmers in the U.S. http://www.artistictreasure.com/learnmorecleanair. html

Wow, Andy, your alive, and not on a sub, or working on G-force. This must be a .00001% occurrence. Good to see it.

First of all why do "women" need "easier to use" printers, they can be just as smart as men. Secondly doesn't everyone need an easier to use printer?
If everyone is so up for a "break" how bout' Myth 2.
You wouldn't think "freedom fries" is a joke when you have to explain it to a fresh exchange student.
