    Well you can't get good chemistry sets anymore? And probably never will be able too.

    I wish I had MOD points today, because that is how I feel about especially since Apple's profit margin is so high.

    It was meant to be funny and no one had rated it except overrated. No sense of humor this MOD. Well I'm glad I don't make money doing comedy because....there are many people that have buffered me out.

    I agree with this especially with everyone catching on to tabbed browsing that updates all of the tabs all of the time with no break. Just add more fat pipes. Simple answer.

    --the signal to noise raito is sucking major ass.--

    Agreed and didn't Google remove Boolean operations from their search engine? It's also harder to filter the noise.

    Facebook now seems to have most of the noise but I would say YouTube uses the most bandwidth although it's a close call.

    More fiber and less memory, sure. The buffers are probably in place to separate different customer and their quality of service since there is big money in that.

    The chemicals that work could be extracted and the ones that don't like tar could be done away with. Even vaporization is not as good as it could be. IF there are cannabinoids that do the job without the high, why not isolate and and use them? Of course no drug company would do this, they have already tried to create synthetic substitutes so that they could get a patent. With what's going on now, it just makes it look like advertising dope. Even cigarettes are not supposed to be advertised throughout the world. Prescription drugs aren't advertised as something like #1 skunk or whatever. If they want make a drug of it, do it right.

    It's like half of the states are for this medical mj thing and the other half are totally against it. I personally think if they want to do that then isolate the chemicals. Smoking anything has got to be bad.

    Sometimes they will still cover them. Like Prilosec is much less with insurance than to buy it over the counter. They just change the dose.

    What? they still have to work under a physician that still does and you probably have to have a prior history of needing such things. I know some states are different too.

    As an asthmatic for life, I can't even imagine such a thing. Now, because of the propellant change with someone having a patent on that, all asthma inhalers cost a fortune plus going for new prescriptions that the doctors get a kickback on every 3-6 months. It might not save much, but everything helps.

  20. Re:The United States wouldn't care on Russia Threatens Pre-emptive, Destructive Force On US Missile Defense · · Score: 1

    Yep, Russia or Germany has always controlled that area but the Polish people love us for some reason just like South Korea. The question boils down to whether China, the EU, or the US is going to lead economically and therefore eventually miltarily.

  21. You left out one, religion. The Russians are no worry, but I agree, they keep their word but we don't sometimes. They are still afraid of the Germans.

  22. Time to get in the business of building bomb shelters. Thanks Russia, you know how many jobs you will create?

  23. Doesn't Russia know that we are more worried about the Mideast. We even offered to defend them. It's just the politics in Russia. They don't like the Germans more than they don't like us.

  24. Re:This really sucks on Trimble To Acquire Google SketchUp · · Score: 1

    Please MOD this guy up. If Trimble manages to improve LayOut (maybe by working with AutoDesk, etc.) do you think we will get free YouTube videos showing us how to use it. Google has been improving this feature up until now, I guess. I hope Trimble just leaves the program alone, but I would say there is about a 99% chance against that.

  25. Re:This really sucks on Trimble To Acquire Google SketchUp · · Score: 1

    I agree, Google sold it cheap. Sometimes they even had it for less than $500. Now it will go to at least $3000 if not $6000. I've messed with Trimble and Leica efore with GPS. Even though the Leica software was hard to use, Trimble was ridiculously hard to use their software to survey with back. I know the military uses their equipment and they practically invented surveying with GPS. I'm just afraid they will bloat the software and charge a bundle because the pro version you can draw practically anything. Normally programs like that cost a bundle. It might be good for Google but not the rest of us who us it.
