    Yes but the neurotransmitters recieved by the neurons stimulate electrical actvity so be stimulating electrical actvity in neurons causes them to release nuerotransmitters.

    I think I might give it another go It was a fun game.
    I haven't played it for over a year now.

    I used to be our outfits air commander.
    Although I did almost loose that title when I flew our entire squad into the side of a mountain range.
    Hmm this means I'll probably have to join another outfit doesn't it ?
    And work my way up again.

    Well as termed by a lot of people video games are violent so that's all those sites gone. News is violent, gone. Now pr0n. Back in the 19th century it was considered pornographic to display your lower leg. So the only thing your going to be left with is the ruling political parties website.

    Actually thanks to a recent pact the uk government has with ussa there is now a fast track for any 'criminals' the ussa wants with little to no comeback. If they think that someone in the uk has committed a crime then they will be shipped over to go through the american legal system and if found inocent will still have to foot the bill with no legal aid from anyone.
    However if an american comits a crime against the uk then your pretty safe the american senate blocked the pact on the off chance we might want to prosecute the irish terrorists hiding over there.

    Biological weapon ?
    What better biological weapon than one that breads and terraforms the planet to be hospitable for the invading army.
    (I feel a tinfoil moment)
    Think about it.
    Mankind could be the agents of the aliens who require a rich c02 atmosphere.
    Since the dawn of mankind he has been cutting down the forests/plantlife and causing pollution in the form of c02 and it's only getting worse.
    Soon only the basic forms of planetlife will be able to survive on an inhospitable planet from our point of view.
    But if your an alien race with a long term plan for this planet it was a brilliant plan.

  11. Re:I have WiFi access! on Neighborhood WiFi Security · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So If I have a secured access point (using term loosely) and someone gains unauthorized access to it would it be okay for me to poke around on his computer he is using to access it ?

    And if it is okay what about an unsecured access point for my personal use with no encryption or security ?

    Just because it's not secured doesn't imply that it is free for anyone to use ?

    I leave the front door of my house unlocked sometimes does that mean it's okay for someone to come in and use my milk/heat/tv ?

    If someone did enter my house they would get badly hurt. Same thing would happen if you used my AP without authorization.

    I'm not an artist (unless you count bullshit)
    But wasn't there a thing about a band that got signed by some record label and in the fine print they had to pay for all the publicity and production costs of their albums out of the "profit" they made from their album.
    So it ended costing them more money and the record company got take take their cut off the top before any deductions.
    Or have these practises changed ?

    Actually you can get deck screws that are designed to be hammered in although they do cost about 5 times more than a normal screw and they do turn as you hammer them in.
    They have a second set of threads overlayed ontop so they do turn but not as much.

    End of pointless info

    No they wont. They will blame the pirates and sue anyone that has the older hardware that can't display the new content because they are obviously pirates for not buying in on this new content. Or pay someone off to make it illegal to own/watch the old content.

    Well in the next few weeks I'm planning on buying a video projector that has (yes you guessed it) composite input.
    Which means that when I want to watch any hd content I have to use a pirated copy. Sorry I mean an illegally reformated copy of their hd content.
    And this is supposed to deter copyright infringement how exactly ?
    Seems like they are trying to encourage it from these tactics.

  18. Re:What they mean to say is.... on UK Government Confiscates Firefox CDs · · Score: 1

    That's a bit harsh they do read the speed signs over here. However as they seem to unable to read the instructions for the radar gun they use they just guess how fast you were going then issue the ticket. Ok maybe it's not a bit harsh, a friend of mine was pulled over for doing 40 mph in a 30 zone so he pulled over next to the sign that was for the 40 zone he was entering and on the other side of the sign it was a 50 zone. So the police issued a ticket for going 40 in a 50 zone (yes they still issued the ticket and my friend had to go to court).
