    True, but I'm getting a head start on the 2014 (August 15-17, always the third weekend in August) Hempfest... ;)

  7. Re:Drupal rocks on Drupal's Creator Aims For World Domination · · Score: 1

    I think, in 3 years time, Drupal will be much easier to use, if they keep doing usability testing every version.

    However, the code freeze may cause some issues that surface later to be difficult to fix in core for UX/UI issues, and could possibly have to wait until a later major version of Drupal to fix. Don't get me wrong, I love Drupal, and use it almost exclusively, unless I'm forced to use one of the other CMS's....

  8. Re:A fractal of bad design on Drupal's Creator Aims For World Domination · · Score: 1

    Code in the database, if it has errors in it, will cause the cron.php script to fail when it updates the search index for those pages... PHP input filter is a very bad way of doing things, you are better off writing a proper module.

  9. If I'm paying extra for a higher speed... on Six-Strikes System Starts In U.S. · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If I'm paying extra for a higher speed, how can they throttle my connection, based on an ALLEGED infringement..??

    Isn't this the guy who came up with the structure for DNA while on LSD?

    Sounds like Megyn Kelly... "It's a food product, essentially" in reference to the U.C. Davis protesters being pepper sprayed...

  12. USPS Priority Mail - Free shipping supplies? on US Postal Service Discontinuing Saturday Mail Delivery · · Score: 1

    How much does the USPS spend per year giving people free shipping supplies for Priority Mail...?

    I pulled up their financial reports for 2013, that information is probably buried within other numbers.

    I'm willing to bet they could be saving a ton of money by CHARGING small amounts for these materials... But what do I know...?

    I will 2nd the Qi Gong comment, I learned it and it's worked wonders for me...

  14. Try some raw foods on Ask Slashdot: How To Stay Fit In the Office? · · Score: 1

    Try some raw foods... organic vegan.. I'm not saying GO raw/vegan, just incorporate some organic raw vegan foods in addition to the foods you normally eat. Walk as much as possible. Drink more water.

  15. Psychotic symptoms, 3 years before even using? on Link Between Marijuana and Psychosis Goes Both Ways · · Score: 2

    Where can I find the pot that causes psychotic symptoms, 3 years before I even smoke it! Must be truly amazing!

    Did I miss something? =)

  16. Re:Field Sobriety Test on With Pot Legal, Scientists Study Detection of Impaired Drivers · · Score: 1

    Driving stoned without eating, and driving with low blood sugar, have very similar effects on driving performance. Maybe it's the "munchies" (low blood sugar) that's causing this...? I've seen PLENTY of people drive stoned and not make ANY mistakes what-so-ever.

  17. Re:Field Sobriety Test on With Pot Legal, Scientists Study Detection of Impaired Drivers · · Score: 1

    Nevermind the fact that saliva testing has a much higher false positive rate...

    Skype has also been plagued with billing issues. I had a subscription years ago, that bank card is now expired. I cancelled the subscription, years ago.. as soon as Microsoft bought Skype, I started getting emails saying my card was declined, with no recourse, no way to cancel the subscription they tried to start up on me again...

  22. Re:Hmm on Ask Slashdot: What Are Your Tips For Working From Home? · · Score: 1

    3.) Energy-drinks / sugary snacks nearby. Gotta keep the brain fueled up.

    You mentioned energy drinks... I would like to add if I drink an energy drink on an empty stomach, I feel horrible from the sugar crash... Eating protein before and after helps me balance out...

    Also, eat something healthy for breakfast... fruit is great because it's easily digested and takes minimal time to prepare! If you neglect your health now, you will pay for it later. I also gave myself kidney stones drinking 3+ energy drinks a day, they're not kidding when they say they're unhealthy! =)

  23. Re:LOL on Ask Slashdot: What Are Your Tips For Working From Home? · · Score: 1

    At least not until the days work is done. Or you don't have any work the next day, depending on the person. Keeping your system clean definitely helps if you have to transition back from home employment to outside employment... It's a lot easier to pass a drug test if there isn't anything in your system... =)

  24. Pomodoro Technique on Ask Slashdot: What Are Your Tips For Working From Home? · · Score: 1

    Try checking out the Pomodoro Technique... the basics of it are you set a 25 minute timer, work for 25 minutes uninterrupted, set a 5 minute timer and take a 5 minute break, after the 4th work session ("Pomodoro"), you take a longer break (15-30 minutes)...

    This has helped my focus by having planned lack of focus moments... =) Hope this helps...
