  1. Re:Foundation question - There is a cure for her on A Review of the "Mental Illness" Definition Might Prevent Crime · · Score: 1

    There is a cure for your daughters condition. Have a Doc prescribe her around 40 MG of Dexedrine a day, combined with a high dose of an SNRI (Wellbutrin or Effexor XR).

    Considering you have ADD and the fact that it IS without a single doubt hereditary, there's a pretty strong chance that her "condition" has been diagnosed as a personality trait rather than what it really is (a neurological deficit).

    ADD in girls is usually of the inattentive type and most therapists will overlook it and label her currently poor coping skills as a personality disorder.

    I cannot stress you enough that therapy alone will only bring her more frustration and in return only exasperate her condition.

    Therapy alone is worthless.

    You will never ever "Cure" someone who suffers from ADD without treating the underlying neurological condition.

    (That and might want to get your nephew off of the goddamn lithium, geodon or whatever ilk they're pushing him.)

  2. Get Canonicall OUT of Debian environment on Open Source Is Not a Democracy · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Ubuntu has becoming more and more interwoven with Debian

    It's time to cut all ties, before it becomes a corporate ball and chain.

    Everyone knows that according to the bible the world is only 6000 years old, (although some say 10 000 years.)

    Please toss those pebbles back into the ditch where they were found and stop making these outrageous claims.

  7. This goes for every OS/FOSS project out there. on Torvalds Says It's No Picnic To Become Major Linux Coder · · Score: 5, Insightful

    And considering the widespread usage plus amount of people that rely on the Linux kernel to be stable and not explode in a horrible firestorm I can certainly understand that Linux kernel development requires a Stalinist approach.

  8. Year Of the Linux Desktop on Linux For Housewives. XP For Geeks. · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I guess that instead of the year of the linux desktop we should be celebrating the year of the linux laptop

    Funny, Considering the fact that Linux + laptops used to be one of the biggest headaches in the world.

  9. No it's not on The SUV Is Dethroned · · Score: 1, Insightful

    This is going to cost me karma, but goddammit it has to be said.

    "If SUVs are too expensive to own, people will stop buying them and trade to more fuel-efficient vehicles."

    What your short sighted mind doesn't seem to comprehend is the regulatory function of the government. It can define the rules and
    levels out the playing field when the free market fails to regulate itself.
    SUV's are the epitome of consumer irresponsibility with these behemoths causing problems related to pollution as well as road safety and Political Instability

    With the "free market" continuously failing to address these "externalities" it is a surprise to me that no action has been taken before in the past. These asshole vehicles should have been taxed the fuck out of ages ago to make them as expensive and unattractive as possible

  12. Greate news! on Trolltech Adopts GPL 3 for Qt · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    This has really taken away my final doubts about using qt-toolkit.

    As silly as it might sound, I always have a certain level of suspicion when a company doesn't release their stuff under a gpl license .

    This truly makes qt and OPEN platform, and as far as I'm concerned gives a green light to using it inside my company.

  16. YOU ARE COMPLETELY WRONG on Google Shows Off Ad-Supported Cell Phone · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So what if a bunch of anecdotal Mexicans can make ends meet. You are making presumtions from the wrong point of view.

    The immigrants share housing and eschew luxuries
    So all of a sudden living in a basement with 20 others and luxuries such as "food" or "" becomes the defacto acceptable minimum standard of living?

    Stop saying stupid such as telling it that it should "OK" for people in a western world to live in a situation like a fucking "Favela".

    The United States should be ashamed for the low standard of living for some of it's citizens.

    What if they applied the same rules to domains as RIPE uses to give out IP adresses. Basicly the first batch is given out no questions asked. After that you can still get extra ones as long as you can prove you use them for a legitimate reason.

    Sure it might sound restrictive, but with bots drop catching domains with brute forcing techniques it could weed out the worst of abuse.
