I notice you are in the Netherlands, so obtaining shouldn't be much of a problem. There is very limited research that indicates that cannabis may at least help symptoms. I know there are social stigmas attached to the drug, but it really has been used as medicine for thousands of years and is likely less toxic than any of the pharmaceuticals that you use.
I suggest you try it, and I wish you the best. If you are interested, contact me, I could help you research the best strains to use.
I understand that you are joking, but you emphasize something that bothers me. -- Namely that the People have a "leader" in our republic. I understand that we have representatives, and a president who is "leader" of law enforcement and military; but I don't see a leader of the People anywhere in our system, and I believe that we need to stop seeking "leaders". The *People* are more than capable of leading themselves.
Your post said everything that I wanted to say, but you are wrong in saying that habeas corpus is an inherent right. It is a privilege, that is protected in very strict terms by the Constitution. That is very different from a right.
No, I'm not missing the point. Microsoft can do whatever tricks they want to keep their vendor lock-in. That is the way the captialist system works, and under those rules it is allowed. Their rights to do that end at the point where they submit an international standard.
Maybe true in a totally unregulated economy, but it isn't, and MS is a convicted monopolist. Not that current US Executive dirtbags would use their awesome power for such silly and unprofitable crap such as establish justice or promote the general welfare.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
I'm guessing that the population will wake up before that and put a stop to this insanity.
I agree. Perhaps the best thing that could happen is they keep trying to do shit like push this bill. After all, even sheep have a limit to how far you can push them, hence the saying about sheep pushing back with a dropoff in front of them.
Well, Saddam's dead. I don't recall if his two kids are dead or not. But good, you're right to hate the dictator who spent ten years thumbing his nose at the UN and the UN mandates, which is why we had to go back and finish the job we didn't finish the first time. Remind me why we stopped the first time? Oh yeah, so we could "let peace have a chance."
Ha, absolutely ridiculous. You know full well that I meant our assholes, not Iraq's assholes. And please tell me when our military became a tool to enforce anything to do with the UN. The last time I checked the military was supposed to be for the defense of the American people. I'll just chalk you up as one more clueless citiz^H^H^Hconsumer.
I myself got back from my tour in Iraq in '05. I would like to add that there are no 'terrorists' in Iraq. Well, I'll qualify that by saying there are no Iraqi terrorists in Iraq (we did capture some foreign fighters while I was there, and I'm sure al Qaeda has people there).
Calling an Iraqi fighting against a foreign occupier a terrorist, is in my mind like calling an American fighting in the Revolutionary war a terrorist. Cause god dammit, if someone did that shit to my country, you can be sure I would be deep in that shit, hurting them in any way i could, every day until they were gone. For that reason I have no hatred towards any of the Iraqis that tried to kill me, and did kill several of my friends. No, that hatred is reserved for the bastards that initiated this travesty.
I just had a vision... An inspirational story of poor Afghani children playing Duke Nukem Forever on an old Apple II (or whatever it was.) That will be the day. *sigh*
I dunno, back in the day it seemed that Linux kernel development stories and release announcements were the mainstay of Slashdot news.
Yeah, the good old days before Zonk showed up and started posting stories about prostitution in second life and how it affects the gold farming industry in WoW, and the social impact of super mario on the plumbing industry, etc. Kind of makes me yearn for Katz... I just made myself cry inside.
Nope. You will never hear about these, because "150 Iraqis die in a car-bomb blast" is more sensational than "15 Iraqi children have their sight restored due to help from US military doctors".
I'm not knocking you or anything, but how is a car bomb not very much more important? I mean, that sounds like having a story about firemen rescuing a cat from a tree in the middle of a war. I'm just saying that we could be saving children's eyesight without guns. All the nonsense about the media not reporting the "good news" is absolute horseshit. If anything they don't report enough about the real war taking place.
It isn't quite as involved as you think. I believe everything you could want are in the deb multimedia repo, including the W32 codecs and libdvdcss.
Its as easy as adding the line to your sources.list:
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ sarge main
Of course that is for i386, check the bottom of the above link to see the available options
In my Kubuntu Feisty install, Hibernate takes about as long as shutting down and starting it back up about as long as a normal start.
There is no reason it should. I have removed a lot of the preinstalled stuff on my ubuntu laptop, and it resumes in 20 seconds flat, and it was the same with debian on that laptop. I think linux more than competes with anyone else in this regard.
The Constitution isn't dead, it is just not being followed by the public servants. When the people wake up and realize who the sovereign really is perhaps sanity can be restored to our system.
My only hope is that it can be done without bloodshed. However I doubt that seriously sometimes...

I mean, I would never run Windows, but it kind of sucks that I paid so much and can't even use a free (real) OS.
You may be right, but I assumed that he meant State constitution. Remember, the States are not created by the federal constitution.
Here's a link that might help

And as it turns out, there is a reason that you don't have to pay taxes for goods from another state.
Not that something like The Constitution of the United States of America has really mattered in reality for a long time, but I quote:
"No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State." (Art 1, Sec 9, clause 5)So, no it doesn't really have anything to do with supporting anybody over anybody else, just respect for the law.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but I thought he kept the 'D' after his name so he could continue to chair whatever commitee he is on.

There is a distinction between cannot and should not. I submit drug laws, prostitution laws, and so on so on for ever and ever. God bless America.
There you are.
I agree. Perhaps the best thing that could happen is they keep trying to do shit like push this bill. After all, even sheep have a limit to how far you can push them, hence the saying about sheep pushing back with a dropoff in front of them.
Yeah, I can see your uid, but seriously, you must be new here. :P

The American military should be used for the defense of America. Any other use, however noble is illegitimate.

It's easy to disable java. I never use it and haven't missed it yet. Startup and load times are very reasonable too.
It's right above the great lakes stoopid.

Interesting, but around half a century too late.
