You can even hack the firmware in the fuel system, if you really want to. It's strongly discouraged, of course. There've been numerous articles about people who put "hot chips" into their cars to boost performance.
Better plug the stock module back in when it comes time to pass the emissions test, of course. . .
If you can't tell the difference between sarcasm and a personal attack, just, ummm... well...
Name a few of these "great artists" for us.
Hint: if their work is published in Heavy Metal magazine, don't waste our time.
And don't list people like Aldous Huxley. He explored mescaline, as have quite a few people in the past. He didn't saturate his body with dope. And he moved on after checking it out a bit.
1. Find out where your local dead laptops go when they die.
2. Get ahold of one (a cheap '486 with enough memory) that has a busted display (or keyboard) but that has external keyboard and/or display jacks.
3. Plug in an external monitor and/or keyboard temporarily in order to install an OS (a BSD or Linux). Plug in a PC-card ethernet card to connect to it.
4. Plug in an external modem (or use a PC Card modem).
5. When it's all set up, unplug the monitor and keyboard. Connect to it over ethernet to make use of and control it.
6. Duct tape it to the bottom of your desk, or put it in the closet.
There should be a lot of laptops with busted displays out there languishing in a repair depot somewhere. Anything that's a 486 or better can make a nice remotely-accessed server in this fashion.
I agree that marijuana should not be illegal. All the mystique should be taken away from it, and it should be seen as nothing more awe inspiring or enlightening than spinning around too much on the merry-go-round at the playground.
It shouldn't be possible to make a lot of money smuggling or selling marijuana, and there shouldn't be a sub-cult surrounding it. It should be seen as just as legal, and just as stupid, as many other forms of substance abuse.
It should be explained to kids honestly in school, then the lecture should just move on to other things that it's easy to overdo (i.e. chocolate, cotton candy, alcohol, rubbing-your-eyes) and that are potentially damaging.
The question to ask is: How many people do you know who smoke lots of cannabis who have a lot of their creative energy drained out in the process. I know more than a few. Mellow is not necessarily a good thing.
People who smoke too much dope stay inside and steal from themselves.
Not that it's anybody's business to keep people from abusing their own lives.
And the whole notion that it's not addictive is ludicrous. If people got as jittery and upset when they were out of cinnamon sticks in the spice rack, it would start to have credence.
This is a piece of folklore. Quite the popular notion, of course. A trained mind can do amazing things. Using chemical shortcuts only lets you peek into the room.
Actually the article is about the death of diversity. It's about Linux wiping most of the Commercial Unices off the map. It's about the growth of a new mono-culture. It's about one central authority having more control that was the case before.
I shudder to think that Linus is what is called in political science an Enlightened Despot. But that's all he is.
The unseen issue that the article avoids is that we don't have to all run the same operating system to be productive. Nor does everything written have to be controlled under one License.
And I'm sorry, Mr. Raymond, but Cathedrals are things of beauty. Your bazaar vision, well... the peasants can roll up the tents and booths and move on when the weather goes bad. 200 years later there is still a beautiful Cathedral standing. There's a bare patch of dirt over there were the bazaar once sat.
Oh their users go on about their techncial exellence and talk about how much more secure and stable they are. Tell any one of those fuckers to PROVE it and he'll sputter and stammer and make a fine noise. And that's ALL he'll do.
There's some severe hostility showing in all that. You should seek some professional help.
Well, comic books have traditionally been printed on the lowest grades of paper. In actuality, the paper acidity is actually contagious in a way. Put high quality books adjacent to books printed on crap paper and the bad paper will also take out the good book, to a certain degree.
It isn't even worth talking about digital media for anything you want to keep around permanently. It doesn't matter if the media is permanent or archival. The retreival formats keep changing every few years. And anything I buy, I expect to keep around permanently. I have many books in excess of 100 years old.
I have a friend who keeps ranting to me about Real Jukebox. The thing is, he's somehow gotten it into his head that it's better to encode it to RealAudio format than MP3. Kind of a disturbing trend one would think.
I'm a paid Real Player Plus customer, and sorta upset that all they release is the plain player for Linux (or has something changed recently?)
That is like saying "stereo amplifier that use push-in connectors for the speaker wires are dime a dozen and just aren't made with quality in mind." The interface isn't the issue. Since there are now 10 times as many IDE readers as SCSI readers, of course there are going to be more stinkers using the IDE interface. The brand of CDROM Reader is very important, obviously, and dwelling on the interface the drive uses is irrelevant.
(ducking to get ready for a SCSI holy-war, which is even more irrelevant than usual when it comes to inherently slow media like a CDROM)
The first version of Microsoft Basic was developed on a University Campus mainframe (actually I think it was a PDP-10 mini) by Bill Gates and Paul Allen. It was a machine where it was specifically forbidden to do commercial development.
A substancial part of the early funding for Apple Computer's startup was paid for with money from Phreaking for money. The two Steves sold blueboxing services to a lot of people for international long distance telephone calling.

I use SimpTerm. It's completely free. Closed source, but freeware.

R. Crumb doesn't count either.

Can't they just not bond out that signal from the die? Or is there some other signal also fed out through that pad on the die?
(I wish a URL was given, if indeed there is an article on Ars Technica that explains this)
And I take it you've met just droves and droves of great artists.
Are you selling them their bags?

You're right. The paper clip sucks.
That's why I have the little planet enabled instead. I love the way it blows a volcano when it gets upset at something I have done.
I don't think we should belittle Sagan's mastery of communications, but I don't think we should consider it a "real" contribution to science.
"!doy! I think Pot really improves my writing."
"And if I drink enough I really like my singing a lot too. And all women look a lot more attractive. etc. etc."
heh

Poisons do not need to be lethal to be debilitating.
And Frank Zappa, is of course, one of the world's esteemed artists.
I'm sorry, Rolling Stone does not qualify as an art critic.
many if not MOST artists of ANY medium, ever

Of course, it's a complete coincidence that Bob Marley died of brain cancer.
you spelled 'heil' wrong up there.

"thats the real problem that BSD has."
I wasn't aware that BSD had a problem.
It's shocking how much you know about the subject.

These are both common knowledge facts.
