this is anecdotal at best and really speaks out more about your friend as a person than it does the effects of the drugs on him....
Did I really need to take the time to mention that there are times he is not high or recovering and that I can easily tell the difference? I guess I did.
You may be someone who is not heavily affected by whatever you are taking. Maybe it is that you just can't tell. Anecdotal would be that you extrapolate your perception that you can handle it into *everyone* can handle it. It may be that you hold this position purely because you do not want to be inconvenienced by rules which are designed to protect everyone else from the weak or those with poor insight.
On a similar note, I have superior reflexes and situational awareness / judgement that allows me to drive safely in ways that other would consider extremely aggressive.
I am not personally selfish enough to want the laws I regularly break to be stricken from the books - because those laws are there to protect everyone from those who do not have my talents.
It is annoying to be subject to tickets from the authorities, but I am paying for my lack of patience - not being punished for being a better driver than most everyone else.
I'd really like there to be some sort of disincentive for him being high as a kite (or recovering) whilst he is working on medical equipment that may be keeping someone alive.
So you'd prefer somebody with a perpetual hangover and a fifth in his lunch box working on that medical equipment? I've found alcoholics tend to congregate at companies that drug test.
Did I say that? Is must be so easy for you to argue your point when you get to make up what you are replying too. Nice strategy there Mr AC.
I have a friend in I.T. and he regularly smokes pot and will occasionally take other things that mess him up. This *does* make him less reliable and he is less consistently available to work when scheduled.
Knowing him has made me more in favor of the employers right to test for drugs (as part of the employment contract).

Sometimes bad things happen to bad people. If the theoretical "poor naive kid" can talk with a broken jaw, then perhaps we can work our way up the criminal food chain.
This system has worked for thousands of years. Only recently has the theft of someone's personal property been considered something to treat like a small matter.
Did the person who stole the laptop consider the impact of it's loss to the proper owner? What if by losing access to his own laptop the owner lost valuable and unreproducible creative content?
If the thief did not consider this before taking the laptop - there is a PROVEN way to ensure he thinks about it BEFORE he steals the next one.
Post the IP here and the s/n of the laptop. Then sit back and wait. All *you* did was post some info - just cannot be held responsible for the life-altering ass-beating that the person found with the laptop will most certainly receive.
He is just a attention-loving has-been. It is just like him to be an attention-whore.
Frankly, I am tired of him popping in all the time on TV inserting himself into every little debate.
Obama should looking into his tax records and see if there is anything in there to shut him up. You know if he is crazy enough to disagree with Obama that he MUST be up to something.
Allowing him to be heard like this is a serious mistake; people can be so easily confused - we must manage what they hear.
Cobalt thorium G has a radioactive halflife of ninety three years. If you take, say, fifty H-bombs in the hundred megaton range and jacket them with cobalt thorium G, when they are exploded they will produce a doomsday shroud. A lethal cloud of radioactivity which will encircle the earth for ninety three years!
That strip was genius. And I mean literally.
That is also my favorite strip of all time. The genius was in the structure of the perfect circular argument. If any imperfection was noted; the "insane" comment filled in any cracks quite nicely.
A similar Bloom County involve Oliver, a porcupine, and two tons of raisin bran.
I suggest you try to find it.
You only having sex with women is a artificial limitation - you have the ability to accomodate men also, but for reasons of your own you choose exclude half of the population from your services.
So, I guess what i am saying is... suck my dick punk!
It seems that every time an "improved" interface to your computer is invented, they get more complicated whilst simultaneously looking simpler.
This particular interface perhaps has potential for the expert user (like most slashdot folks), but I don't see your average housewife or Grandpa wanting to remember how many fingers to use for what.
And just what are you supposed to be doing with the fingers not touching the screen? Hold them in the air?
How about your left hand? Keep it in your pocket until you need a context menu?
I'm guessing you will still need a keyboard; where is that supposed to fit on your desk?
Apple got it right with the iPhone - by restricting the buttons and losing the stylus they have greatly simplified the interface.
*I* personally miss the hardware buttons from my Windows phone and taskbar - but those things were sacrificed for the greater good.

If he bought it with honest intent - then he is very unlucky.
As it happens, I too live not too far from this IP address. Shoot me a message if I can help.

do something doesn't mean you *should*. I hope he insists on being buried in that thing.
This is the most racist thing I have ever seen! After all, I see plenty of Honking Geese watching TV too!
Next they will be saying that Frogs love croissants or that Cougars prey on the young!
I think that is because they started using Thiotimoline.

>> Stop acting like such a nerd.
Who says he was *acting*?
People who are in the right welcome debate. It seems that you are not a fan of introducing contrary ideas so as to have a more fully developed dialog.
Is your argument: "he is bad bad bad; don't listen to him!"
I assume you have read his response? Because if you haven't; then your passion exceeds your knowledge. That is the definition of a fool.
So how long do we stay in the mines? Not that I am in a hurry to leave or anything... This place is totally NOT a sausage-fest.

Of course this could be a load of commie bull
