Yes, you can indeed poison yourself... if you take 75,000IU a day!!!! a 1000IU pill (considered a 250% dosage by the FDA) is about.25 inches long and.15inches in width... you would have to take 75 of these a day to get poisoned... seriously, thats like an entire bottle a day....if your taking that many of the same vitamins you might want to see a psychologist... and a medical doctor to pump your stomach
i personally take 4000IU a day, due to several reaserch papers i've read pointing to this being a more appropiate dossage for healthy bone, joint and blood maintanance
no, no i wouldnt, because i dont feel the need to crush my oppenents with petty revenge tactics. I would produce evidence that her claims were wrong and respond on the sites where she posted in a calm adult manner... if i had actually done the things i was accused of i would post a sincere apology and hope that my customers would appreciate my humility...
but suing someone for 11 million just out of spite is ludicrous and just downright mean spirited, her customer base now knows how she truly is and hopefully they act acordingly
Scheff says she wanted to make a point to those who unfairly criticize others on the Internet. "I'm sure (Bock) doesn't have $1 million, let alone $11 million, but the message is strong and clear," Scheff says. "People are using the Internet to destroy people they don't like, and you can't do that."
so aparently its "wrong" to destroy someones life (its VERY questionable that that even happend here) on the internet, but perfectly fine to destroy someones life in court. Pathetic...
I have to slightly disagree with your statements... While i do conceed that the overall manufacturing levels in the US are declining, the amount of manufacturing done by automation is rapidly expanding. I currently work as a robotic technician for a small ohio shop...in the past 3 years we have doubled our robotics count. nearly all of the shops i have contact with in the area are undergoing a similiar renisaince.
Industrial automation is becoming so inexpensive that its a no brainer... as small shops like ours strugle to keep up with super cheap chinese labor they are finding that the only viable solution is to remove the labor.
With vision systems becoming fully integratible with nearly all the robotics packages out of the box and with more and more of the robotics manufacturing supporting PC based controls, the apex of human replacement in manufacturing is drawing ever near. At 32, i fully expect to see industrial robotics with full bin-picking abilities and teach-by-demonstraion capacities in my lifetime... when this happens the only jobs in manufacturing will be as robotics technicians... i would say now is the time to get in on the ground floor:P
OH NOES!!!
my wife is going to be PISSED if they dont deliver her SMB3!!!!!
i better start a letter writing campaign write now...
Dear nintendo,
please include Super Mario Bro's 3 in your virtual console or after i buy the Wii my wii will go untouched...

Greg Gandolfo, who spent most of his 18-year FBI career investigating financial crimes and public corruption cases in Chicago, Little Rock and Los Angeles.
what i dont understand is they have Gandolfo the Grey...cant he just magic them up a spiffy new system?
well i hate to disagree, but i hang with a VERY diverse crowd. I hit the Indie rock scene on the weekends, i have a lot of teen friends, friends who go to church, friends who hang out at bars, friends in their mid life, friends in their 50-60's...
and believe it or not, nearly all of them are excited about the Wii...
My observation has been that every time is how someone the video of the Wii in action (after mocking the name of course:P) they are EXCITED about it...they cant wait to play. Even my wife (who is the biggest UN-gamer in the world) is excited because she knows she'll be able to play Mario 3 (her favorite game in the universe).
I think the Wii is going to be the console that EVERYONE owns, whether it be their only console, or in most cases their second gaming machine (second to my gaming PC!) i think it will have a huge share because it apeals to PS3 buyers and Xbox360 and PC buyers alike.
Of course you are right that is still just speculation based on my limited (but diverse) set of friends.
"In the real, imperfect world, Apple's solution of making the hardware and software together, for each computer gives them the freedom not to have to go through all of this stupid, wasteful activation crap. It is pretty hard to make a free copy of a whole computer. This is only one good reason to prefer their computers over Windows. Apple makes it easy to replace an existing hard drive with a bigger and/or faster model and then re-installing the OS back thereon, together with all users and settings. No need for a user to phone Apple or have an internet connection."
i'm sorry i just dont call this a "good" reason to prefer them. If apple ever moves to a position of dominance, like the one MS is in now, the will be just as controlling and monopolistic as MS. Only it will be worse, because now Apple could decided that they dont want ANY other OS running on the hardware and so the whole world would be stuck with what apple dictates you run. I perfer at least having the semi-open hardware that we have now and the small amount of choice it gives me.
i guess i didnt mean to come across sounding so superior... I was only trying to make the point that in just about any town in the USA (or any country for that matter) there is a thriving Indie/underground band scene that many miss out on...
i could see the appeal of an instant gratification game like GH...
i guess its the same as a rocker like me playing DDR, cause i know i'll never be able to REALLY dance:P
Out of every 1 million people who learn to play guitar well, maybe 10 will make in in a band that goes anywhere. Those 10 guys will get the adulations of thousands or millions of people. The rest of us just get the satisfaction of being able to play the song.
80% of all statistics are made up on the spot...
i guess this depends on what you call making it...i've been a amature musician for 13 years...and i know countless bands who have at least 50+ people at every show... sorry man, it isnt that hard to pick up a real guitar learn some licks and put together a band...and there is NOTHING like being on stage in front of a crowd of listeners... Guitar hero is fun, but only a pale shadow of the real thing.
I'm unconvinced- I think webmail will soon be replacing client side readers for all but power users.
i would have to say i agree. there was a time when i was using my Road RUnner mail acount and using a mail app to read all my mail, but the spam monster ate my inbox, so i've migrated online.
I use several diffrent services such as gmail and yahoo. My Yahoo is soley for those anoying "must register and be emailed key" type sites that i'm just not sure if they will sell my email.
well i wasnt refering to a "judgement unto death" i was referigng to the Bema seat judgement at the end of the tribulation. Where all chirstians will be judged by their works.
1 Corinthians 3
11For no man can lay a (V)foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,
13(W)each man's work will become evident; for (X)the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man's work.
14If any man's work which he has built on it remains, he will (Y)receive a reward.
15If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet (Z)so as through fire.
Jesus never once crammed anything down anyones throat! The Pharises and Saduces had that one all wraped up! Instead He invited and just was a living example of His beliefs, if someone said "leave me alone" He said "okay"
More Christians need to stop worring about everyone else and start worring about themselves! When I stand before the judgement seat God isnt going to hold me responible for what my neighbor was doing...only for what I was doing!

oh hallelujua! Someone one else agrees with me!!!
i been shouting this same thing since WoW started stealing my bandwidth to donwload patches for their game that I pay for...
and trying to get to the patch through the website is a joke... its like trying to find your way out of a maze of mirrors.
Dammit, does this mean we're going to have to kick your ass all over again?

now that just wasnt very funny at all...
I'm pretty sure you were rated funny because the more common ussage of that phrase is "Carpe Diem"
from the latin literaly meaning "pluck the day" more commonly used in thematic works of litarature to mean seize the day or moment...

So what they are saying is all that will be left after a giant "world-destroying" disaster is liars, thieves and bureaucrats?
i think i'm kind of glad i get to be vaporized...
yeah, i'll probably still buy one, i just wont tell anyone....
DOH!
no...better yet, i'll pattent "The act of deliberating or through the use of logical anylisis, coming to a ruling or judgement on an issue."
then i'll sue every judge in the united states...
that'll teach em!
