The phone company has an obligation to allow you to dial up to that ISP. If the phone company blocked your connection to the ISP of your choice because they offered competing services, whouldn't you be pissed?
I'm a young'n, so I got in to the whole computer show a little late. Usenet always seemed so archaic and intimidating, like an ancient library. Now with this little "Where the Stars Live" map of history, I have no reasonable excuse not to explore!
Responsible use of marijuana can be very effective at dealing with chronic pain. Some would argue that being high all the time may have adverse cognitive effects, however, it appears chronic pain can as well.
I would rather a person go through life with a mild buzz, hell, blitzed out of their minds even, then suffer the pains of MS (either one:)), seizures, IBS, back injuries, etc.
There are many intelligent, successful people who use marijuana medically and recreationally. The typical image of a burned out hippie is not an accurate reflection of marijuana use. Sure, not everyone who uses marijuana is a genius, but neither is everyone who abstains.
But now that this news is out there, maybe a real blackbelt will wear his belt to advertise the fact that he is not a fraud. Then when he is attacked by someone who assumes that he is a weakling impersonating a blackbelt impersonating a weakling impersonating a blackbelt, he can use his new method of defense, "misunderestimation."

What impact would heating the water table have on the local environment? If all the lakes go up a few degrees, the inhabitants may suffer.
Damn, that is a seriously viable idea. I CALL PATENT!
