...that this condition is being studied at all. I've had this for as long as I can remember; my sister has it too. Trying to rationalize it away by telling yourself "this response is completely irrational and is all in your head" does nothing to help. When we were kids, family meals were fraught with negative emotion. The table was a cold war between our parents on either end and the only sounds were of people eating. I still wonder if that experience was a contributor or a coincidence.
Those are the classic symptoms, yes. I don't know about the loud music part though- that's not something I've ever experienced. Interesting thought though, that they might be related.
I've had a successful career in software development for more than twenty years, but do sometimes wonder if I'd be better off today had I worked harder in college and gotten a CS degree. No way to know, really. Maybe I'd be less annoyed by poor spelling and grammar in comment blocks.
Maybe you're a libertarian wanker gone too far. Or maybe you're just stupid. The arguments you're complaining about have nothing to do with "giving up freedom for security". This guy didn't go to the library and read some books that the government finds threatening. He didn't go on the internet and read about explosives. He didn't publicly protest something he didn't like (risking getting photographed and cataloged). What he did was deliberately risk the lives of everyone he shared the road with on his 3000 mile odyssey of irresponsibility. He fully deserves the condemnation he's getting in this forum. You deserve a dope-slap.
Where was the FCC when that Golden Girls show was on? Gosh darn it, some of that stuff was indecent. Sure, the characters were wrinklies, not teen agers, but you get my point. Wait, am I confusing this with Matlock?
I don't think there are too many punishments I would qualify as "overreacting" when it comes to pedophiles. It shouldn't matter if you create, distribute, burn or otherwise. The posting's statement "...the man was not affiliated with [the child-porn website] in any form" is insulting. I don't give a rat's ass whether he was affiliated or not.
Apple should make the following components free: email, synchronization, limited disk (say 20M) for iWeb, storage, backup, etc. If I needed it, I wouldn't mind paying extra for storage beyond 20M. It irks me to pay $99 per year to (easily) synchronize contacts and calendar between my multiple macs. Synchronization should be free because I've been a good customer and bought enough (two) machines to need the service in the first place.
I switched to linux a few years ago but switched again (to a Mac and OS X) about a year later. The amount of time I spent making things work was frustrating and irritating. Sure, it felt better than being beholden to Microsoft and the challenge was fun for a while, but in the long run I decided that my productivity was more important than wondering why my kernel doesn't support 'X' or why I can't get that piece of hardware to work. I continue to run Linux on our servers (for database and email) and boy-oh-boy is that ever better than dealing with the Windows platform. I can, for the most part, just leave that stuff alone and it works and works well. But for day-to-day desktop work, I'd be pretty reluctant to go back, even if I do have to give Steve Jobs $180 dollars every year or so to stay current.
I'd have bribed my brother and/or sister to run around in them for me just like I bribed them to sneak into the kitchen and take five or ten minutes off the timer when I was practicing the piano. Of course, if I hadn't been practicing the piano, I would have been running around outside anyway. My parents were very strict about how much T.V. we could watch. Too bad that doesn't happen much anymore...
I flipped by the show a couple of times and it truly looked like a big embarassment. I'd expect better from the channel that produces "Most Extreme Elimination Challenge".
Actually, MXC is pretty funny. And my wife loves it, which is a complete surprise.
I'm not sure that the ability to view photos would be an incentive for me to upgrade to a newer iPod; the screen would just be too small to make it worthwhile. However, the idea of integrating the iPod with iPhoto to make it easier to transport photos from one place to another would be appealing. Being able to sync a smart list of recent photos to the iPod before going back east to visit the family would be really cool...
Sounds like your cat maybe has the same thing mine does. Megacolon is where the cat's large intestine becomes enlarged because of nerves not working properly. Stool accumulates and gets, well, enormous. Benefiber mixed in his food and two capsules daily of DSS stool softener help my cat maintain somewhat regular bowel function.
It's definately something that should be treated; the longer you let it go the worse it gets, and if it goes to far surgery is the only option.
Oracle still uses the database for the mail server. Check out Oracle Collaboration Suite. We use it internally. Best part is, as an Oracle DBA, I understand how to backup and recover the damn thing. Never could say the same for MS Exchange.
Hmm. Oxygen, water, salt. All of those have intrinsic value, at least from the perspective of we insignificant life-forms. An interesting premise is what happens when people start getting paid as a matter of routine with these commodities.
or stupid. That should be 20/40. Also wanted to follow up by saying that the starbursts aren't much worse than I was getting from my old (fat) contact lenses.
...plus some astigmatism in both eyes; my results were quite good, if not perfect. I'm at about 24/40 now. Night vision includes some starburst effect, but not bad at all. I still wear glasses occasionally, but with lenses that don't break my nose. I think the most important things are finding a reputable doctor and going to the followup examinations. In my case, the doctor wouldn't do both eyes at once, given the high correction. I certainly have no regrets, and consider it money very well spent.
Not having my number listed?

Sounds like a benefit to me!
During a recent Vonage outage caused by a broken T3 connection, I was told by customer service that they had redundant connections. Either the guy didn't know what redundant meant, or he was lying. The virtual phone number feature is great; I have an east coast number and a west coast number. The only downside is the doubling of "I'm sorry, you have a wrong number" calls; some of these coming at ungodly hours.
Um, are you a Hollywood actor? No? Then shut the fuck up. And no, I'm not a Hollywood actor either, but I do have a conscience and a pretty well developed sense of what is right and what is wrong. And that is why I'm proud to be a Democrat.
I don't mean to say that everything that Republicans stand for is wrong. I think that pretty much everything that Republicans who are part of (or have been co-opted by) the extreme religious right is wrong.

Now we're making a true commodity out of babies. In a way that actually cheapens them; they'll become mass-market items akin to cellphones
This isn't happening already? Octomom ring a bell?
I guess I know now to wait until midnight to ask the question. How silly of me it was to have asked early.

Spike TV and one 'o them 'God' channels. Just to keep some balance.
So at what age is dementia onsite likely when one doesn't have fluency in even one language like, say, George W. Bush?

So Google is archiving made-up stuff too?
