I'm left wondering if a fair chunk of drug related psychosis are due the the drugs illegal nature...
It's barely illegal to smoke cannabis here in the UK, if you get caught you get relieved of your cannabis and a slap on the wrist, that's if the police don't decide to turn a blind eye.
To say people are overly concerned about the legality of cannabis smoking here is probably an untruth.
Why does marijuana which is less damaging than both when injested instead of inhaled deserve any attention from police?
Long term cannabis use can lead to psychosis. Two of my friends suffered from drug psychosis when I was younger, it's not pretty. Alcohol of course can be equally as damaging.
That says it all, entire post summed up in four words. Linux is a unix-like OS for unix-like people. You're not going to get on very well with it if you come along expecting it to behave like windows. You say you are a "power user" but you seem remarkably naive.
I guess I don't have any hard proof to give ya, but I've always heard stories of freaky giant fish that live behind the Lock and Dams in the Mississippi that cause some divers to refuse to go down there.
That reminds me of this thing called the Loch Ness Monster in Scotland...
Not to mention when I'm up some mountain or in the middle of the Alps on my bike, miles from the nearest wireless access point. What use is this technology then? I don't think the GPS has much to worry about.
If you're on some kind of "compiled langauges are more macho" thought, it's *much* harder to understand and write Javascript well than it is to write C badly.
If the "write once, run everywhere" feature was implemented.;)
You need to understand the difference between a language and an implementation of a language. Javascript is a language that is commonly implemented in web browsers. The part you have a beef with is the difference in implementation and difference in API thereof. Javascript the language is well defined and works well. There are several Javascript engines out there that can be embedded into any application.
It's a shame Javascript gets a bad name from people who don't understand the differnce between a language and an implementation.
On the other hand people not from the States saw it as another "you're too small to matter" joke, a common strain of 'humour' nowadays from you folk. Cultural perspectives I guess.
Great point. I guess people may not realise how they appear from the outside.
Something that the Pentium 4 is entirely guilty of itself as a consequence of ramping up clock cycles. The Pentium M produces way less heat.
can't seem to be clocked much faster than 3 GHz
Clock speed is by no means most important factor involved in performance. Look at the performance of AMD processors cycle for cycle relative to the Pentium 4.
"You, hang out with my friends? A failed actress and a twat?"
"Well, that's a bit harsh."
"Your words, Shaun!"
"I did NOT call Diane a failed actress!"

It's clearly not marketed at geeks. I didn't see a mention of Linux on the feature list on the webiste.
I use both. I find Eclipse is better for general purpose Java stuff, coding, refactoring, etc. I use Netbeans for swing and web services.
Are you going to invent your own protocol to use in your sockets? Two words: web services.

Nothing felt here. Roger.
An american woman in the pub was talking about her sore fanny (bottom). Everyone thought she was talking about her vagina.
