LSD was invented at the University of Saskatchewan, in Saskatoon. It was initially intended for use as a theraputic drug for people suffering from mental illnesses. However, its use as a street narcotic and long lasting bad effects pretty much makes it a bad invention in my opinion.
I'm going to bet that regular use does lead to OCD, and perhaps they will find that people with OCD have higher levels of brain chemicals that these drugs enhance.
That's an interesting point about the actors getting paid. I'd think getting a wider audience and selling DVDs to areas where the show isn't broadcast would help considerably to make the show last longer and thus employ the actors longer.
Your research paper wouldn't happen to be about why humans tend to procrastinate on important tasks? Because if so, you could sort of justify posting on/. as important research.

I used to use Bearshare, and still would today, if it weren't infested with things like NetDotNet. It would be so nice if Kazaa would just work, instead of clinging to kazaa lite k++.
And I'd pay a one time fee for a product like MSN Messenger with working voice and camera functions, but they know they can make way more money long term by selling ads to me for the rest of my MSN-using-life.
I've not ever subscribed personally to cable television. I'll watch it if someone else buys it, but for me I'm happier with a broadband link and BitTorrent or other file sharing system as most of the TV I want is available online free anyway.
Since 35% of Internet taffic is Bittorrent, I shudder to think the price of Internet connections once Cable companies realize this and jack up Broadband prices to compensate for their lost TV subscribers.
TV downloaders will be victims of their own success. Stop ruining it for everyone, and let only the geekly few know this money saving trick.

If so, then all we need to do is call the stupid, ugly bastard bad names, and make fun of his mother/pig, and he'll start flaming us here after doing a vanity-google-search and discovers a week from now that we were talking trash about him.

Oh my goodness, imagine the kind of irreversible damage that Osama Bin Laden could do to America, if he hijacks the network airwaves, and broadcasts a naked woman in an eroric pose for 6/10 of a second [twice the required time to cause permanant damage through erototoxins? Think of the consequences. Boys will chase after girls. Girls, will flirt with boys. The horror, oh the horror, make it stopppp! Regulate porn, nuclear weapons aren't half as destructive.
I prefer winamp still, and will be saddened when I see it go. I like it's efficient use of screen real estate, and the ease I can add songs to my playlist. Winamp, the old version 2, is still the best.
With Bit Torrent creating 35% of the Net's traffic, is it really time to declare it dying, and in need of a successor?
The nice thing about Bit Torrent that Napster and Kazaa never had going for it, is that legitimate companies are already using it to distribute their product. Blizzard, Mandrake, and others with large applications that geeks primarily download.
While adding P2P to Gaim may look important, Bit Torrent is the wave of the next few years.
If someone is designing a Gaim P2P, make sure sharing a file with a contact is as simple as MSN where you drag the file to the chat window, but have it resume broken transfers, etc.

And he's afraid of flying! He didn't have to act on Terror at 2000 Feet.
On my way back from a football game where my Dad was using a transistor radio, to listen to the play-by-play, I listened to my 5cmX1cmX3cm transistor Radio Shack radio.
They are ubiquitous in our lives now, and it's hard to imagine a world without miniturized electronics.
Well, don't blame Microsoft. It's up to 3rd Party software companies to provide security to Windows, such as Symantec, McAfee, and Zonelabs. Oh, but wait, Gates also said that 3rd Party software is Responsible for the holes in Windows software. Now I'm confused.
3rd Party Software. The Solution to, and Cause of all of Windows' problems.
I suppose technically a JPEG is more like software than hardware, but as data it's not really 3rd party software. I mean, Windows programs can create a file called picture.jpg. And if you can't run programs from a 3rd party, then data sharing is rather restrictive now, isn't it Bill?
Not to mention the attrocious McAfee Virus scanner they have integrated. I swear McAfee pays MS off to not have up-to-date definition files, so that many hundreds of people can still download well known viruses to become infected, so they go out and buy anti-virus software to remove it or stop another preventable attachment-running-infection.
This is only a minor setback. First, Web access to Hotmail through Outlook Express is the ONLY reason people like me are using OE in the first place. Now Hotmail is cutting off my last link to using them over Yahoo or Gmail.
This is a major boon for Thunderbird and projects like Yahoo Pops, where Yahoo mail free customers can configure Outlook Express or another superior mail client to HTML Parse their mail to and from a free web account that has a well known instant messanger associated with it.

LokiTorrent has just upgraded their account interface.
Perhaps rival torrent sites were applying some sort of pressure?

Sorry to be offtopic, but that's recursion.
Redundant would have a dupicate entry for redundant, defining it as duplication of a word or thing, which performs a task the same as its duplicate.
Martian probes Spirit and Oddesy were almost redundant, but for being in different areas of the planet, for example.

Universities have EXTREMELY high bandwidth, that's why.
An excellent idea, I wish I had mod points, and hadn't already posted on this article.

Oh darn, they are naming Kuiper Belt objects after your penis now? Ran out of ancient names finally though...
If you want a solid example of a video file that's legal to share, here is one I'd recommend. I helped make it:
Captain Insaino Man of the University of Regina.
So far only 10 downloads, but those people are not going to get sued for doing that, unless their ISP forbids the use of P2P.
