Trying to find some (psuedo) 'scientific' evidence to justify the stereotype that fat people are stupid. That way they can manufacture consent to criminalize fatness, need more cheap labor. They do it all the time with drug war propaganda.
You mean real, debt-based, war-supported greenbacks that now depend upon looting the people with the non-real money? Somebodies stock market is over-inflated and has nothing to back it. Roman coins probably held value after the fall... oh yeah they were gold and not worthless paper.
Yes but not everyone has a credit card or the money to pay for one. Won't matter with the chips, everyone can power one of those for the same cost to big brother. However, I hope you are correct but doubt the people will awaken to their peril before it is too late... like the ongoing drug war that PROVIDES the profits for the ruthless, the 'terrorists' RELY upon drug prohibition to wreak havoc but I bet the average US citizen would just think "I dont want my kids strung out on drugs" so keep the drums beating for the war that creates crime and terror. If the people can be made to believe that the drug war is good, they can be made to believe subdermal implants are good too. Manufactured consent by emotional manipulation.
Alcohol consumption rates were impossible to guage under prohibition just like it is impossible to estimate how many people use drugs. They can only calculate numbers from soft sources of data like 'cannbis mentions in hospital visits' and rates of incarceration and/or forced treatment. People generally do not admit to criminal activity.
From what i have read, alcohol use dropped after prohibition was repealed but these kinds of data are unreliable. One thing I found out that it was not uncommon for minors to have alcohol during the prohibition years.
For all you 'judgement and punishment' types, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.
So what to do? Declare war on copywrite violators? Start sending the geeks enmasse to the federal pound-me-in-the-ass prisons that the US is so fond of?(5% of the worlds population, 25% of the worlds prisoners) Then force it upon the rest of the globe via the puppet UN? Hey, that's never happened before!(sarcasm - for the emotionally challenged) The US government protects the tobacco and alcohol industries with cannabis prohibition, why not the IP industries as well?
How can the industry stop it without making their consumers into criminals?
In principle... however I have two or three folk that do nothing that cannot be done safely,securely under linux BUT since they INSIST on having MSN messenger and the zone, I can't get them to switch!
What is more stimulating? Erudite scholars pushing the envelopes, posting thoughtful informative content on a wide range of interesting subjects... or who the new cast member on Friends is and who they screwed? Likely the people who have no friends just have IQs that dwarf those around them making inteligent conversation impossible.
That depends upon your point of view. If you are a heroin addict, then the war on drugs will insure a steady supply of pure herion. If you are a dissenter, a few years of the war on terror will make you a terrorist. So if you like lots of drugs, lots of terrorists, then you might be able to term my statement as 'positive feedback' on the other two wars. A war on politics would give rise to more 'politics' and anyone with any sense knows politics is a euphemism for bull$hit. So if you like lots more bull from people hardly fit to govern, then the war on politics is the way to go.
Since the war on drugs has made drugs cheap, pure and ubiquitous, the war on terror is doing the same for terrorists, do you really want more politics? While everyone is rushing to war on one another, the fox is in the henhouse.
The drastic increase in CO2 will have *some effect* and denying that is madness. We collectively need to act to reduce the amounts emitted as well as the amounts already existant.
I have had finder crash and restart. Force quit causes finder to restart. I also found that sometimes I put it into sleepmode then it cannot find my shared folders on my windows box. I just have to change location on the network preferences (from DHCP to manually set or vise-versa) and the networking rinitialises. I am using OSx 10.3.
What I do miss is being able to play movies on my tv while I surf on the LCD monitor, ubuntu handled that nicely. Apple cheaped out on the video for a $2k box and i would not have purchased it if I did not get an awesome deal. I really only wanted it for creating music, if I could hack OSX onto my Intel I would dual boot.
Less stable than Ubuntu? I have had no trouble at all with ubuntu. The last machine I had with it was solid as a rock. It got replaced with an iMac(P3 to G5 is a pretty good jump) that can't really do all the same stuff (no separate desktop for dvi out to tv). So far my Mac experience has been positive. A few programs have crashed but this did not bring the computer screeching to a halt or require a restart.
I've hit that a few times. My main computer is a bit of a challenge, getting hardware to work is a pain sometimes. I have found that windows may be easier to get things working, linux is better at keeping things working. I am in the process of switching away from MS...I'll be opening that virtual machine to do the odd windows tasks I cannot quite do in linux. I have been comparing them for years and I definately like my linux experience better. Best practice is to pick what works best for the task at hand but I keep coming back to linux even though I am a video editing gamer;). I am testing Kubuntu Breezy on the main box and Hoary on this P3. Mostly I think its because windows 'vista' will be a horror that will drive a hardware upgrade...once again... so my fast machine can seem slow. Better to hedge my bets and learn an alternative OS. Perhaps MS will surprise me.

I don't see how retching will help build testosterone levels..

If only MS had restricted their staff to limited user accounts... then maybe I could get MSN Games to work without having to be admin.

Well since there has not been a really good game for awhile, that is no big problem. Unreal tournement 2010?
"I hope that it won't work. " Amen to that! :)

Like promoting atheism? ;)

First it starts as a convenience somewhere, catches on with all the dumb lazy citizens, then becomes ubiquitous, then it becomes mandatory!
I've known a few people to use cannabis to GET OFF hard drugs... what does that do the parents over-generalisation?

It's a war on freedom... yours.

Have you looked on the video shelves lately? Quality? What a joke! All CRAP, blather, fluff and poser movies... not worth the money or the bandwidth.
People can argue about the notion of global warming but they cannot argue with:

This policy is nothing that could not be fixed by a can of black spray paint and a bellaclava.
It is alarming how often those two are divergent yet even more so that so many can suspend their interest in one to pursue the other.
