As far as I'm concerned, it should be obvious to anybody that the war on drugs is all about money.

2) I wholeheartedly agree with this, the war on drugs has done nothing to combat the evils of addiction, and the human cost of the 'war' has been terrible
If there's a war on drugs on... and we're losing... does that mean that people on drugs are winning...?
long live bill hicks!
dude, don't start unless you got all the details. the IRA's actions aren't so much religious as political. they take issue with the fact that britain own slightly more than one sixth of ireland...
and the IRA have a political body that does negotiation for them. they've been on a ceasefire for the last ages. the IRA can be reasoned with. religious zealots can't. that's why we call them zealots.
There is a computer driving-licence. well, at least in europe. the ECDL. it's a joke. the premise is "can you open a document in word, can you paste in excel"...
it's so pathetic that it's almost become a blackmark against you on your resume/CV
And anybody i know who's actually got the damn thing would be the people i'd most likely peg to get hit by these worms... they know enough to open and download attachments, they just don't know what to look out for.
in ireland, there are roughly 4 million people. there are also about 2 million mobile phones. recently (about 2 or 3 months ago) the networks opened up for number portability.
after the first week, carriers were "disappointed with the response". ie no one gave a tiny rat's ass...
nothing has changed. no one i know (and my age bracket is notorious, here anyway, for getting new phones, changing networks and generally having a laugh while the phone companies laugh at us...) has switched network. nobody cares...
my father has 6000 LPs... that's somewhere in the region of a lot of music... and he's listened to it all. i can't catch him out.
ask a simple question like "what's that you're listening to there?" and you get an answer that takes 2 hours, and an extended tour of the music collection. he has almost as many CDs again and they're all different and he knows all of them too...
so to say it's preposterous that anyone has 80gigs or MP3s and that they'll never listen to them is kind of closed minded. most slashdotters live at their computers, so they have plenty of time to trawl thru vast quantities of music.
Thing is, if you've ever read any of the books written about H2G2 which involve interviews with the man, he explains that 42 has absolutely no significance whatsoever, but that he found that it was "the funniest sounding number".
And i think that perhaps he was engaging in a touch of dirk gently's old "deny things and people will think they are true" trick. I think the idea of hundreds of people (admittedly nerds) wondering what the significance of this number was, when in reality the only reason was that he happened to like the sound of it.

You got it all wrong...
when you copy from one person, that's stealing, theft, plagiarism...
when you copy from many different sources, then that's called research...

anger like this deserves more recognition!

To shut it down sure would be twisted
We just learned this place existed...
