Yes, St. John's Wort is effective. However, you should always consult with your doctor before taking it, as it can interfere with other drugs (specifically, I have read that it prevents or retards the mechanism of absorbing drugs into the bloodstream).
However, do keep in mind that the effectiveness of a single herbal medicine does not change the effectiveness of other herbal medicines.
I would think the airports get a percentage of wifi access fees, or the entire fee if they run their own system (as opposed to bringing in a carrier like Boingo). Perhaps Google's offer (assuming it was made) wasn't a good fit for their budget.
I am disappointed that this was the best you could come up with to support your theory. The existence of cosmic plasmas such as those encountered by the TSS-1R mission is quite widely accepted. Proving that they have the effects claimed by the theory you apparently advocate is quite another matter.
I read the first chapter of the book on electric-cosmos.org, and it mostly seems to be jeering at the complexity and unintuitive nature of current theories, while also heavily emphasizing the "unprovability" of any type of astrophysical theory. How convenient. Perhaps it's a bit tough on the underdog supporters, but when it comes to scientific inquiry, the burden of proof is very much upon the challenging theory. So far, the "electric universe" crowd has produced absolutely nothing compelling, other than cries of "help help, I'm being repressed!"
It's easier for me to believe the majority of scientists ("scientific dogma" if you prefer) than an ostracized minority. There is a large difference between keeping an open mind and pouring my uneducated (I'm not an astrophysicist) efforts into supporting a currently unacceptable theory.
The website is what I was questioning, really, although another reply hits on the fact that simply being an assistant to Hubble does not necessarily make a person credible. electric-cosmos.org is a proponent of the "electric universe" "theory" -- which has been thoroughly rejected over and over, but remains a favourite of the conspiracy theorist type.
The RIAA haven't undertaken raids on their own authority, nor have they used their own forces. In these cases, they are influencing government (police SWATs) to use its monopoly on force to "enforce the law".
Maybe it's a fine line, but it is a line. This is not to say the government is any more justified in taking unjust actions, however.
The new OCZ & Samsung drives are faster (and larger) than the X25-M.
For sequential read/write -- yes, they are faster than Intel's offerings. Random read and write operations, on the other hand, are another story. That's one of the biggest issues that SSDs solve versus spinning platters, and no one has gotten it right so far, except Intel.
"Tolerance" is about freedom of choice -- until that choice begins harming others against their will. Most genital mutilation is done before a child even learns to speak, never mind before the child is mature enough to make the decision in the first place. Calling circumcision and other kinds of genital mutilation a "religious freedom" is nothing short of barbaric.
My parents loved me enough to allow me to make the choice whether to keep my foreskin. Yeah, I'm not getting rid of it anytime soon.
Alas, it looks like invites are unavailable at the moment. Not sure if this is just for me, but that's what the knowledge base on the site said. Sorry.
As for TFA: I didn't read it (this IS slashdot, right?), but claiming Dvorak isn't better because it didn't dominate the market, neglects several significant factors... A "market-based" argument isn't worth the electrons used to write it.
Well, I did RTFA, and that's not what it said. It cited several studies that concluded there was no benefit to speed from using Dvorak over QWERTY. They didn't really say anything about ergonomics, however.

Or, right now, we could build something propelled by nuclear explosions -- like the now-dead Project Orion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Orion_(nuclear_propulsion)
Of course! If only they'd asked Slashdot.

Sounds like modern society is still ahead -- it is more appropriate to worship something that has no more hell in it, right?
tenshi is cool.
In a much more localized manor
We're going to start putting data centers in big houses now?

Maybe you should present a more credible source, if you wish to be taken seriously.

It probably was the 12V lead-acid battery many are familiar with. They are typically recommended to be replaced after 4 years.

That would be four quaternary bits to make a byte, I believe.
2^8 = 256 possible values (binary; 8 places, 2 possible values each)
4^4 = 256 possible values (quaternary; 4 places, 4 possible values each)
