  2. Re:Before you experimenting any more with her brai on Neural Feedback Training as Therapy for ADHD? · · Score: 1
    I'm 32 now, but when I was a kid, a Preservative free diet (not suger free) is what my parents put me on when I was about 10 years old. That was the most horrible thing that could have happened to me as a 10 year old. I was devistated. can you imagine what it's like to go anywhere and have your mom grill the waiter about how they store thier food before cooking, and what kind of additives they might add?

    My family noticed positive changes in my behavior. Back then we didn't have ADD or any of that, it was just hyper kids. They say it helped a lot. I did spend a lot less time in the principles office. Not knowing that I was acting bad to begin with, it's hard to personally judge how my attitude changed if at all.

    I'll never know if I would have turned out any different if I hadn't had such an odd diet. But I do know that I learned to eat a lot different than most other people I know. I eat very little sweets, lots of fresh vegetables and meats, and I'm very healthy and fit because of it.

    "Lagmannsretten" also said that if you buy a DVD, there is a risk that it may become damaged, and therefore you have the right to make a copy of the DVD, if it's a movie you intend to preserve.
    The publisher has already made extra copies for you, they keep them at Amazon.com for easy retrival.

    Get the band to stop using that publisher. If the Artist is against CD protection, they would go indy/non-RIAA.

    They get to use the RIAA as a shield, but they want protection as much as anyone else that "produces" something of value. RIAA takes the fall, and the fans don't have to lose faith/fandom of thier favorite groups.

    Is there a limit to how much karma you can accumulate?

    Yes. Karma is now capped at "Excellent" This was done to keep people from running up insane karma scores, and then being immune from moderation. Despite some theories to the contrary, the karma cap applies to every account.

    Just a comment about the post not the story, but what part of the 1980's was Commodore leading anything? Maybe outside the US? I know the Amiga was big in the EU, but the C64 and like have always seemed to be 1/2 computer 1/2 game console.

  17. I'll be first in line on iPod Jr. Rumors Become More Substantial · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Apple hasn't said anything official at all about Mini iPods, and usually they kick thier Legal team into action when "half true" Rumors hit the web. The idea that they have done nothing at all makes this seem like they have resigned to let the leak become publicity, or free advertising.

    As much as I'd love to have a 20g iPod to hold all of my music on, I'd be very happy with a resonably priced (about $200) iPod that will hold 2-4gig of music. 256mb flash players just are not big enough for the price.

  18. POTC wins on spirit not force on Visual Effects Oscar Shortlist · · Score: 1

    Of the movies listed Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is a clear winner for new and seemless use of visual effects. The way they show the cursed pirates moving in and out of the moonlight for almost the entire movie (and it not being really noticable till the end) was a fantasic visual treat.

    The LOTR effects are always present and IN YOUR FACE, as with most of the other movies listed. While the matrix films require these effects just to exist, they pretty much stunk as stories and I hope they get panned.

    Shouldn't this kind of discussion occur before we send Tons of metal/glass into space with the possibility of it comming back down? That said, whoever sent it up on the shuttle should send the shuttle back to retrive it. This whole "let it fall back to earth" way of dealing with our space trash is going to get someone killed. Part of any launch budget should include retrival costs that go in an Escrow until it's time to go get it.

    Furthermore, he said, there are attempts by the hacker community to produce its own CD containing the software bug. The only catch is that the CD would have to be digitally signed, or authorised, by Microsoft. "There are people trying to get a buggy CD signed by Microsoft using social engineering techniques," added Jaromil.

    In other news, Microsoft has released an internal memo to the Xbox division, reminding users about the possibility of social engineering attempts.
