Before y'all get on your high horses, note that antipsychotics aren't exclusively used for psychosis. Abilify, one of the most popular, is used for mood swings, psychosis, bipolar in general, and as an adjunct to antidepressants. Abilify is an amazingly effective method of relieving intense psychological suffering quickly. The middle class alternative is a year or two on therapy and a couple other antidepressants, which is probably a nicer way of doing things for the patient, but is much slower and less cost effective. Once a patient is on a drug like Abilify, it is much easier to deal with their psychological trauma quickly. It might not be the best solution, but it is a very good one. And, truth be told, poor people aren't going to get the same care as middle-class people.
"We could have made 20 Billion if it weren't for all of those pirates!"
So, the success of the Music / Entertainment Industry is justification to pirate? We hate them and can rip them off because they are rich? Well, because that's what the whining here sounds like.
Firefox does the job (though it freezes far too often for me).
There is *NOTHING* wrong with Firefox. What you are experiencing is *user error*. There's a simple fix: it requires a specific text file that you'll need to edit, clear a few ini variables, then restart. You could have Googled this.
"From a strictly numerical point of view, an innocent citizen being confronted by the police is more likely to be killed than a police officer is to be deliberately killed by an assailant."
Your numbers are out of scale. This only works if every such confrontation ends in a death.
Already had some of those. They are more interested in my step brother and sisters from Etheopia, and whether I've visited any of several countries. But it really doesn't matter. There are reasons they can dink with my clearance, and reasons they can't. It's not up to the particular investigator's personal views, nor some nebulous undefined rule set. I'm quite sure that they are well able to connect my Slashdot profile with a real name... I undergo one of these mini-inquisitions every two years, and my views are not inconsistent with Democracy. Apparently, they consider me a "patriot", whatever that is... I am not paranoid.
Perhaps now they will receive a first hand lesson in why some of us consciously refuse to participate in social networking sites.
I understand, some people don't liked to be watched (even though they have posted the info on the Intertubes for anyone to see). But I don't particularly care. I'm a bleeding heart liberal, and have been associated with many fringe Web sites by virtue of the comments section or forums. On the other hand, I've done nothing illegal, and as a DoD employee, have held a security clearence for over 20 years. Got nuthin' to hide, don't really care if the Three Letter Agencies read my Facebook.
But here's an idea: A company like Blackwater (or what ever they are calling themselves now) could 'copter in a team as the pass Somalia, and 'copter them off before the ship hits the next port.
So, yes, WHY don't they arm?
Insurence is cheap, pass the cost on to the consumer....
Out of curiosity, does anyone know why these ships aren't arming themselves?
There are precedents in maritime law with regards to what differentiates a merchant ship and a military vessel. Also, having weapons on board presents many difficulties with respect to ships that port in many different countries with different customs and laws that apply to people that come into the country with arms.
As a former Fire Fighter, let me tell you that - sitting on my ass in the station or not - I got paid for every single minute that I was "at work". Period. Go to a fire and work over the shift change? You bet I got paid. Some of it has to do with Worker's Comp and liability issues, but for me a lot had to do with the fact that I don't work for free.
The $700,000 figure is being bandied about by both the US Government and the press. But remember, the "perp" has yet to stand trial. This is an issue that will come up at trial (along with others), and so it as yet has no real meaning other than PR jockeying. In the end, it may have no effect on acquittal or conviction at all.
Slashdot Mirror
I know someone who works for Yelp, and they take free shit from businesses that they've reviewed, which is ethically pretty uncool.
Isn't that exactly how it works with technology reviews at the various game / hardware Web sites?
Thank you, that was the point. This is the type of garbage Users like me get when pointing out a FF issue: It's not FF, it's me. Always.

Nice Slashvert. Seriously.

Yes, that's what he said, someone ended up dead.
if they try to extradite him I'm sure the Canadian judge will laugh in the US face for wasting the courts time.
Think so? Happens all the time.
Sorry, absolutely nothing justifies a beating.
That's true, but you're taking one side of a story as the absolute accurate description. I'm not completely buying the Watts story.
Where are the pictures? I want my hardware porn...
...though 'most of the storage is done in the cloud...
I wouldn't know, because after dealing with the fucking thing several times I just gave up on the goddamn site.
I too give up surfing the net while fucking.
Unless those politics are such that you are likely to betray the government to a foreign government that you think has the "right" politics.
Unless you are Muslim?
All of my tentical porn involves females over 18. I guess they could Photoshop me into some of those "sticky" situations...
If you get an aggressive investigator...

Just tried to connect and get a timeout error...
Are you mocking H. M.?

35+ old fogies that don't know that IE isn't the Intertubes? Good grief! How old are you? Oh, wait, there's a MySpace linky in your sig.

...and Asperger's sufferer...
This has NOTHING to do with this issue.
Now they need to add SYNERGY!
Except that Alpha Centauri's staggeringly advanced "alien" technology has solved this problem long, long ago.
