Hrm, sounds like they got a hold of some very bad acid. Two people of the top of my head who were famous and incredibly smart and who advocated the use of drugs: Richard Feynman, Gary Zukav.
I bet there's more but this is all I can think of right now.:) The point is, yeah, bad things do happen. So why isn't there research into Who can and CAnnot take LSD? Why aren't their strict controls to ensure the quality so that bad LSD isn't out there? Why isn't there more education as to the correct dosage and usage? Cuz it's illegal, and thus bad things that shouldn't happen, do.
Don't underestimate the negative effects of Caffeine (you can look this up in Goodman and Guilman's guide to Therapeutic drugs)
Let's start with kids: for one, lowers their mathematical skills. not to mention the average pepsi or Coke has like 6 teaspoons of sugar. This leads to fatter kids, and adults with diabetes.
next, caffiene's effects on the bodies ability to absorb and use calcium. Cells have a much harder time absorbing calcium when someone is using caffiene. This leads to brittle bones, bad teeth, osteoperosis, etc. etc. Think drinking milk will counteract these effects? NO! The caffiene will inhibit the body's ability to absorbe the calcium.
There are many more side effects as well (look it up in the book, although I think I got the name wrong. It does have Goodman and Guilman in it though). Caffiene is widly abused by practically every demographic. It's the most socially acceptable drug to feed to one's children. I always laugh when I see commericals telling parents to talk to their kids about Marijuana (don't get me off on another rant, though) sponsored by companies like Coke and Pepsi followed by "DRINK PEPSI!" "COCA COLA ALWAYS THE REAL THING!".
Maybe this should be an Ask Slashdot question. Is there ANY University paper that isn't written by high school drop outs?
Why does the article link to "FunPhone.com", a blatant April Fools joke from years past? They call it some sort of competitor to Dialpad.com ?
Honestly, this kinda stupidy makes me question the credibility of anything written in student papers. Odds are, the journalism student who wrote the paper probably typed in deyalpadd.com, it didn't load, so he figured the University was censoring him! Must write an article! Conspiracy! Things are a-foot, and we're not just talking about the things we walk on!
this kinda trash doesn't take points to get rid of. I send the page to the slashdot team, they delete it w/o using up my moderator points. they'll also probably check the IP logs and see that yet another script kiddie needs to have his ISP revoke his access.
read the 'moderator how to' to see exactly what moderators do, kid.

What do you mean Now, it would be hard to have sex 30 seconds at a time?
j/kin. But i'm sure quite a few/. readers get it.:)
In either case, I'm sure we'll see something that will unify our multiple unified IM proggies. And if it happens that these Unifying Unifiers need to be unified because of competition in the market place, SO BE IT!:)
Crimminy. People like you, I don't understand. We're supposed to embrace new stuff, stuff that makes it easier and faster to communicate. IM's do that, if used properly. IRC is oldschool -- who has time to connect to a server (or even find one that doesn't say 'your connection class is full, please try again', etc etc, then find your buddies, who have different nicks because someone nick collided them, etc, finally just to ask them one quick question?
Yeah, IMs are abused by lots of people ("Hey are you there?" "hey, did you get my email?" "hey, did you get my phone call", etc. etc.) but when used properly, they are a lot faster and more convenient than anything else! Yeah, there's room to improve (security, which is nonexistent in practically any IM today, and standards (althoug I only use ICQ, and everyone else I know only use ICQ)) but it's new, and they'll eventually get it going. Face it, IM is here, it's going to be around until it gets replaced with some sort of psychic mind melding, so get used to it!
This thing smells a lot like the P3 serial number thing, and I don't like it. Damn it, I don't wanna live in a world where everything is traceable. There would be no more Sherlock Holmes types of mysteries anymore.
The investigative trio would walk into any crime scene and within moments Holmes would know the true identity of the killer...
"Watson, the butler did it." "Dear god, Holmes, how can you tell?" "Well, I traced this counterfit suicide note to the printer in the Servant's quarters." "But Holmes, how do you know the Butler was the one that printed it?" "Elementary, my dear Watson. I checked the printer logs which stated the Pentium 3 processor that sent the print commands belonged to the Butler!"
Sheesh. From now on, I'm having a monkey on a type-writer copy all my stuff.
I saw a picture of the toilet that was at fault in this incident. I've never seen a toilet like this before. The seat is raised about 2 inches above the actual bowl. What happened was that there was no TP in the dispenser, so he turned on the seat, reaching for TP on the toilet. His jimmerjammer slid under the seat (quite possible) and due to the force caused by his butt cheeks sliding on the seat, the seat failed, thus crushing his willy. He was in the ER for 10 hours, apperently. His johnson is no longer functional, with no hope of regaining the functionality. He is sueing for 2.2 million (CDN), with his wife asking for $750,000CAD for the loss of his services.
Would you crush your tinky winky for 2.2 mill Canadian? I doubt it.
Anyone who knows anything about computers knows this: computers are complicated. Computer systems are so damn complicated, no one in the world can understand one completely. It's impossible to predict, then, just what exactly will happen to hundreds of thousands of computer systems all over the world. It could be just a fart, it could be more. We'll just have to wait and see.
Stop complaining about something that doesn't affect you. Why should Lycos give shortcuts to their competition? That would be like Burger King giving directions to the nearest McDonald's.
What's wrong with that? Many a times, when I'm in a computer store, and they don't have what I need, I ask to borrow their phone, grab a computer magazine, and start dialing their competition. =-)
Who'd search for infoseek in the first place? But it is also indictive of how they are controlling what the user sees -- and it's so easy for them to say "yeah, your web page can come up first if you give us money" to sponsors. Ethical? I dunno. Fair to the internet surfer? Probably not. Use a different search engine? Good idea.
"I know, let's make it twice as fast, then everyone will have to buy it!"
Really, what's the difference between 60FPS and 90FPS? Who cares? Where are the *NEW* features? Where's the EBM? Where's the hardware T&L? Where's the "Dualhead" feature?
I think gamers are tired of cards that promise 50% more FPS ("The game is so fast you can't even see what's going on!!"), and are looking for new features. That's why I got a G400. Dualhead is amazing for work, it's fast with games and the EBM (although i've yet to actually play a game that supports it) is comforting in knowing that it's there. SHOW US SOMETHING NEW, KIDDOS!!
See things like: there is no gravity in space, sound travels better though solids and liquids than air, friction is caused by rough surfaces, infrared light = heat, rainbows have only seven colors, laser light is "in phase", air is weightless, water drops are "pointy ovals", batteries store electrical charge, hot water freezes faster, water drains clockwise/anti-clockwise depending on your hemisphere, etc. So I wouldn't call Creationism science either. But then I would correct all the falsehoods that are taught as science also. --- I gotta ask, what dumbass textbooks have you been reading?
True, Role playing is not a crime. However, child porn is (unless you're in British Columbia, Canada). He sent porn to a child, and that also is a crime. Although, it wasn't actually a child, was it. Crimminy, this is where internet law goes fuzzy. But they had enough reason to get a warrant to search his computer, found child porn, which is illegal in all states I think, and that's it.
p.s. maybe now they'll untweak all the search engines so that they don't return porn sites when you do a search for practically anything....
Holy moly, all you guys trying to pass yourselves off as being smart and knowing what you're talking about, and anything you guys write reads like a 10 year old wrote it. "How can I know what I think if I don't read what I write?" (or something like that). If what you write is coming out in a jumble like the trash I've seen here, your thoughts are all very unorganized and not ready to be spoken!
