not only is this a dupe, but it is poorly worded. the original summary does a much better job of explaining it
"Today, the Council of Europe (an influential quasi-governmental body that drafts conventions and treaties) is to finalize a proposal that would force all Internet news organizations, moderated mailing lists and even web logs (blogs) to allow a right of response to any person or organization they criticize. This would mean that you would be required to post the responses as well as authenticate their origin and make the responses available for some period of time. This will likely have a chilling effect on Internet communication (at least in Europe)."
lol, even funnier is when you realize that the original poster had posted an obligatory "Who needs X? I just want Y" to which you responded with the obligatory "Someone always sez this." You were then responded with yet another obligatory remar, "You're new here aren't ya?" There is one of those ine very story. Anyway, it's not redundant because it's new to this story, even though it might be beaten into the ground by now from previous stories. Furtermore, modderators RARELY make sense.

Only one, but it took several light bulbs and several months to get it done because the ADDer.....

Paid for the lightbulb then left it in the shop on the counter.
*
Dropped another light bulb out of a hole in his/her shopping
bag didn't notice and ran over it with a truck.
*
Bought the wrong sort of lightbulb because s/he couldn't be bothered
checking which sort of light bulb was needed cause that's boring.
*
Left the light bulb under a pile of clothes for several
weeks before s/he got around to trying to put it up.
*
Couldn't remember who s/he gave the ladder
too so decided they had to go buy another.
*
Took the old light bulb down put it on the floor next to the
new light bulb got distracted by an idea in his/her head.

Ran to get notebook to write idea down idea forgot about light bulb for
an hour as other thoughts came to mind, remembered lightbulb couldn't
figure out which was the old light bulb and which was the new light bulb

Who invented such an inhuman thing as a light bulb?!

Gee, for someone with ADHD, you sure managed to focus long enought to write that long post;p
anyway, jokes aside. Lighten up! Seriously, do you think that Famanoran didn't expect all those jokes? Furthermore, just because Famanoran has ADHD and asked us about possible treatments doesn't mean that the/. community can't have a little fun. Honestly, do you want to wade through 200 comments about what drugs work for them? HELL NO! This site is more about entertainment than anything else. You shouldn't mod people down for not being politically correct. If you don't like such jokes, then why are you still reading/.?
i'm also appalled! but for a different reason. All these jokes are the same. and there aren't enough refferences to SCO! And what about poor Sen Hatch. He's been left out completely. Also, there is an entire eps of the simpsons dedicated to ADHD, yet I see very few simpsons quotes. This is an OUTRAGE! A/. outrage.
PS: It's good to laugh at yourself once in a while
not only is it close to speed, but you can grind it up and snort it for an affect similar to Cocaine.... and at a lower cost if you have health insurance;)

Working with ADHD?
·
· Score: 5, Insightful
Hmm, well. As someone who's also been diagnosed with ADHD, I have found that the most effective treatment is just to get outside in the fresh air and get a bit of excersize every day. Of course, in our current culture of instant gratification and having both parents working, we have come to a point where parents aren't willing to take the time to find a better alternative than to drug their child. Personally it sickens me. I knew this one family that put their 5 y.o. child on Ritalin. I ask you, what 5y.o. isn't hyperactive? And what kind of parent drugs their 5 y.o. kid for being a bit rambuncious?
I myself only took Ritalin a few times, and I hated the way it affected me. As such, I don't take perscription drugs (not that I don't do other drugs, but that's another topic). No, for me the simplest thing to do was go outside and and run a few laps.
Okay, now for the history of ADHD. Recent studies beleive that ADHD was a genetic defect that prooved useful for attracting mates, as the higher levels of activity exhibited by the ADHD addled individual was a sign of better health and strength.
So, if the ADHD is getting in your way, then you should seek treatment. But a lot of people take Ritalin when it isn't neccesary. And watch out for dependencies. I knew a kid who no longer needed it, but he continued to take it because he claimed he could function without it. Ritalin is a mind altering drug, and people today don't give it enough respect.
Anyway, how many posts are we gonna get reffering to Focusyns from the Simpsons?
lol, and that is why i use windows more than i use linux. Why should i adapt to the tool? The MS programmers are paid to make it work for me, I don't have time to go around reworking everything, I have work to get done. Learn to code? I do know how to code, but that doesn't mean I'm going to go around writing drivers for my new components. That's just silly. And the hardware and software doesn't miraculously adjust to my needs, I choose windows because it has a wider variety of commercial programs that have been developed with my needs in mind. Using a computer is like turning the TV on. I like my OS to operate silently and without my input, while I focus on the apps that I need to use to get my work done. And I don't even know where to begin telling you what's wrong with your last statement.

yes, windows outshines Linux in that it supports more commercial hardware and that most companies only make drivers for windows. It also has a greater variance of programs for users to choose from and a huge user base, as well as near universal acceptance. I'm not pro-MS by any stretch of the imaginiation, but I also know that there are situations in which Windows truly shines.

Dear SkewlD00d,
It seems as though you have missed basic/. brainwashing. Report to CowboyNeal for immidiate reprogramming. Soon you will see the light. Linux is the future, Apple is cool, Microsoft is evil and is never a better option.
The really cool thing about PSK31 is that your computer can copy a signal you can't even hear.
uhhh, what? Are you saying that my computer can hear the radio frequency? Cuz, radio waves are a form of light. Or are you saying that the computer can finally record audio that's higher than a human can hear? Cuz, my $10 mic can do the same thing. doesn't do much good, so I'm confused as to whats so cool.
Yes, and I'm working on this great new product, It's Dehydrated Water in a can. The price I'm charging is absurd, and it serves little to no practicle purpose, but it's a great and new idea, and I feel that in the future it will reach great success, as everyone suddenly finds a use for my dehydrated water. I know this, because it works. People need water, and the dehydrated form takes up less space. The problem is that you need to add water, much as a person needs only walk whenever the segway is applicable.
Anyway, I don't care what you think, much as you don't care what I think. Apparently someone does, but i really don't. And I'm not an AC, to your suprise.
hmmmm, well, you know what they say. If you can reach just one person then it was worth it. Well, here is the one person in the world who is satisfied with the Segway. Kamen can die happy now
i love how people who don't know what they are talking about get modded up because they used math. Try distributing it over multiple proccessors. Yeah, it's this little thing called DIVISION Mr. Math Genius. Each Comp in the render farm does one frame. Do the math, you obviously know how
