  1. Re:Only $200k? on Science Fair Project Exposes GlaxoSmithKline Lies · · Score: 1

    As a pharmacist I have recommended 9000mg-10000mg per day in divided doses WITH food. Stomach/GI upset is only seen in those people that used ascorbic acid formulas rather than a buffered formula. This my own anecdotal evidence as I have not seen published data on high dose ascorbic acid supplementation. I also found the incidence very low.

    That's interesting and I would like to research what you said... would you be able to direct me to any information sources?

  3. Yes, but it won't stay cool on Can Large Corporations Buy "Cool?" · · Score: 1

    The whole thing about cool is that it is transient. Once cool is recognised by the majority as being cool and then popularized... it is no longer cool. A corporate buying cool is the same thing... the mainstream has recognised it and thus it must now be uncool. Buying cool is not an good investment.... buying the ability to STAY cool is. (I'm sure you'll all find exceptions... but you'll find this "theory" generally true)

  4. Re:What's a "progressive Christian"? on Wal-Mart Asked to Drop Christian Video Game · · Score: 1

    By the way, I don't advocate this "game". It doesn't conform to what I believe and have read in the Bible about loving your neighbour as yourself.

  5. Re:What's a "progressive Christian"? on Wal-Mart Asked to Drop Christian Video Game · · Score: 1

    I know that having to "interpret" the Bible is unpopular here. I see that alot in with people who have science backgrounds, especially those who tend to deal in absolutes (right/wrong, true/false).

    But if you humour me on this one thing.

    When you look at ANY part of the Bible you need to filter your interpretation through "the cross" and what that achieved. What did the death and resurrection of Jesus do to that part of the scripture?

    Taking your Leviticus example. Homosexuality is a sin but Jesus died on the cross for those sinners, so that they would NOT have to be put to death. They now have a chance for redemption, by turning away from that sin (repenting - going in the opposite direction).

    Christianity is defined by the following scripture,

    Jesus said, "'Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence.' This is the most important, the first on any list. But there is a second to set alongside it: 'Love others as well as you love yourself.' These two commands are pegs; everything in God's Law and the Prophets hangs from them." (Mathew 22:37-40 from The Message)

    You don't love people by killing them for a sin whose penalty was already carried out (that is why there are double jeopardy laws in the court systems).

    I already made my point that all scripture must be viewed through the filter of what Jesus did on the cross, and what effect did that action have on those passages of scripture.

    My background is in the pharmaceutical industry and is VERY heavily science based, but I follow those two "Laws of Love" to the best of my ability. I'm not perfect, but not trying to be perfect is worse.

    I congratulate you.

    I'm 31 and my dad has been in the computer industry since the late 1960s. (the advantage is that I was aware of computers and even UNIX systems from the age of five or six... I got to play space invaders on some mainframes).

    Anyways...
    He was never home much always worked obcene hours until the last few years. I have promised myself family comes first... no amount of money is worth not KNOWING your own kids. I'm starting to get to know my dad now.

    take it from me... it's better for your kids to know their dad from a young age. There is a lot less friction in later life.

    I hope all goes well with your business and family.

    And I've had the same problem.
    Regarding faxes, I have started invoicing the company for my time and effort involved in receiving their fax. I start at $110 per page which is GST inclusive. They have opted in to MY business relationship. If they don't pay up I report them to Credit Agencies as default accounts (See Baycorp). I don't know how legal all this is, but it seems to work. you get some majorly pissed off people calling back OR you get $110 pocket money.

  18. Trans-tasman harmonization on Audio Format Shifting To Be OK'd In New Zealand · · Score: 1

    ... that is what the NZ and Australian governments called it when they brought the Pharmacy Acts and Poisons Regulations into line with each other. So the laws governing pharmaceutical are now almost the same. I believe that it is also possible with Copyright. Especially since trans-tasman trade is becoming more and more important (it would only help Australia on the world stage... NZ is already being used for outsourcing)... why alienate a trading partner?
