That's the main complaint of anyone I have known who has installed Linux. Most people have not a clue about partitions or setting one up (nevermind fdisk's archaic, horrid interface).
They have made it into pill form. Doesn't do everything that the smoking of it does.
At that point who the fuck cares if there is second hand or harmful side effects? They are ill w/terminal cancer... Use a closed system. Smoke goes in and out and is trapped. That stops others from inhaling it.
My grandmother would pass out in mid sentence. Wake up 3, 4, 10 mins later still talking as if the conversation had not ended.
At least w/Marijuana she would have been able to converse normally.
Before you start shooting off your mouth as if you knew what you were talking about, I suggest that you read or do some sort of preliminary research so you don't sound like such an uneducated person.
ok, so someone points out false information usually supplied by DARE or some other bullshit orgranization found on the principles of attempting to stop the "drug war". Yet I am the one that is a "self-righteous pothead" (note, I am not a pothead) trying to force MY viewpoint (note: this is fact, not a viewpoint).
In 1972, after reviewing the scientific evidence, the National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse concluded that while marijuana was not entirely safe, its dangers had been grossly overstated. Since then, researchers have conducted thousands of studies of humans, animals, and cell cultures. None reveal any findings dramatically different from those described by the National Commission in 1972. In 1995, based on thirty years of scientific research, editors of the British medical journal Lancet concluded that 'the smoking of cannabis, even long term, is not harmful to health.
I really hope this is supposed to be some sort of humor.
Whether you support it or not, the legalization of marijuana has plenty of good support and should be done. The recent drop in priority in the UK and the legislation attempting to pass in many US states should show that the general masses care little or less about the "so called" harmful effects of marijuana.
We really need to have more medical usage of marijuana (anything is better than fucking Oxy and morphine -- if you have never seen an individual using either of these painkillers, you might want to then give marijuana a second look).
I actually like them both. I just purchased two SNES controllers to continue my addiction there, but I also own a cocktail table Ms. Pacman machine (it needs some repairs but does work).
Whereas Tetris is fun, it is monotonous. Ms. Pacman owns you;)
Yeah I guess, but that's really not the point here. Yeah, they are looking for "nodes" people who are running large segments of the network...
My problem w/this is that these "nodes" could theoretically believe they are in it to help out the greater good. Not necessarily facilitate the trading of copyrighted music.
I say fuck the artists and the RIAA. I really feel that music should be free. I have said it several times before and I will certainly say it again now...
I only support bands that allow the free taping, distribution, and trading of their music. Check out etree and FurthurNET to trade this music w/others.
I was pulled over on the PA Turnpike for this. I was doing about 105 between two toll booths not thinking anything of it (it wasn't heavily patrolled back in the day).
The cops used the time -> time between the two booths to figure out that I was going in excess of 100 mph and gave me a ticket for "reckless driving/endangerment".
I (living in OH) decided to just pay the fucking ticket and be done w/it (as there was only 2 pts on my license or something).
I told the cop he needed to do some real police work instead of cheating. He was not pleased.
this is really not true. I read an article this morning on USA Today (of all places) and the percentage of people that only watch TV signals coming over the air is so miniscule that it really is of little consequence.
I agree. The two African-Americans walking in the mall holding hands, both on cell phones. I wonder if they were talking to e/o.
I don't own a cell phone, hopefully never will. I like the fact that I cannot be reached when I am not at home.
I went on vaction this summer w/my girlfriend and my parents. My father got a call on his cell phone probably every 45 mins. That's not vacation. That's fucking annoying.
All you cell phone lovers out there. Get over it. It aggrivates the rest of us when we are eating, sleeping, driving, walking, talking, vacationing.
yeah, but for some websites speed and beauty really don't matter.
For a quick and dirty form or simple "database" of information perl is easiest for me. Why should I have to sit down and read through PHP stuff when I already know perl?
I use my own email address for AIM. I have never recv'd a piece of spam from them. I have posted about this before I believe, but I must be one of the ONLY people in the world that recv's less than 5 pieces of spam a year.
it's not wrong as long as the consumer knows what he is buying and they are ok w/that.
Directors have a point. They made a movie in a certain way and expect it to be released that way. That would be like creating a painting and having someone change it completely and creating a whole new meaning than the one you intended.
no, they are NO where as easy to use as WinXP. Tell someone that they have to FIND a piece of software that they want to download and then install it.
These people fire up Yahoo and search for a program. They find 1000000 matches for a piece of Windows software and near nothing or nothing for a Linux piece of software.

maybe b/c I am a "clueful" user I find DD hard to use than fdisk. In fact, it really fucking pisses me off to use DD.
Maybe I am just too old school.
would those two "clueful" users know fdisk?
That would make the test a REAL test.

Get real.
I think you need to re-learn the facts.
In 1972, after reviewing the scientific evidence, the National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse concluded that while marijuana was not entirely safe, its dangers had been grossly overstated.

Another obvious failure of DARE.

it's called money.

that's for local roads, they use VASCAR. For toll roads and Interstates they use radar.
This was probably w/in the last 5 or 6 years.

Soon we are going to be dancing around in Cow outfits having raw meat thrown at us.
probably less money than the PS2 one anyway too right?
didn't Sony make noises when MS said they were going to do much the same thing when they rolled out the Network for the XBox? Now they are doing it?
I was VERY pumped for Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 over the net... Now I am questioning my desire to purchase the LAN adapter and LAN enabled games...
Too bad most people won't know/care about this.
you mean Microsoft isn't the government?
Holy shit, they sure do like to make up their own punishments that the government is supposed to levy on them...
Odd.
this is really not true. I read an article this morning on USA Today (of all places) and the percentage of people that only watch TV signals coming over the air is so miniscule that it really is of little consequence.
he cares enough about his father in the nursing home that he carries it w/him. It has little to do w/anything else.
Nope, I hope to NEVER be in a position where I will be required to carry one around. That's just fucking ridiculous.
Vacation means just that. They don't call it that for nothing.

That's my rant for today, thank you.

Lucky me I guess.
no, most aging hippies are previous stoners. They are less likely to be UNBELIEVABLE chess players because of that fact ;)
Now this is just too weird...
Sad thing is, it's true, and it's funny!
they are scientists, they understand things better than we do, that's how ;-)

This is not easy for them.
