But even with a large scale operation you arent creating that much LSD. If you are staying somewhere around 1g = 10,000 doses at 100ug, and even a huge operation doing millions of dosages...I highly doubt very much is evaporating or spilling.
Add to the fact it is then highly dilute in liquid and very stable on blotter...I dont buy this a bit.
You are on slashdot man...ok, yes there are a few starving college students in CS/CE programs surviving on Ramen but for the most part the demo is mid20s+ and we can affort $10/meal and not just $3. (yes i see our 5 dig uid and bow you your inability to lose email passwords)
Yes, yes, soup in a bowl made of bread is quite up scale I understand this.
But when Olive Garden is pricey you have some some shit wrong.
Its more concenient because you dont need a "DivX DVD player with a USB port" or "MythTV and Media PCs."
Download, watch. That is why its so convenient for people to watch content on their computer. Add to that that people spend a ton of time in front of a computer anyway, and It is just as easy.
My 23" from 3ft away is about as good as my 47" from 10ft away. Feel free to break out a Resolution/Distance chart and prove me wrong. =)
Torrents and Netflix helped to kill TV, not facebook Id have to add.
Submitter/kdawson should have kept going with the summary...
FTFJA:
Important reductions in morbidity and health care costs could be achieved if the intervention to reduce catheter-related bloodstream infections could be introduced successfully nationwide or worldwide. Given the results of the study, many of the estimated 80,000 infections, up to 28,000 deaths, and $2.3 billion in costs attributed to these infections annually in the United States could be reduced.
Spend $3 million to save $2.3 billion, JUST on catheter-related bloodstream infections in the US each year.
With all that data you are going to over load your brain and freak out. You will require valium or xanax to deal with the constant swings in exit polls and the declarations of who won what states.
Get some beer or a bottle of your favorite poison a few good war movies and contemplate how you will defend off the crazies from your opposing party, should they win.
Or just pawn all those fancy electorics, get some hookers and blow from the seedy part of town and party like the world is ending.
The interesting part is that you dont need very high quality scans or multiple images of an object to replicate the object in 3D.
You only need a fairly good image of a Medeco key and you can then cut a blank easily.
These Medeco keys are just like normal house/car keys, except they have variable slopes and spacing between peaks and troughs. Trying to cut those with normal tools would be very hard...but having a scale image to cut with an exacto knife is simple as pie.
The hardest thing about coping those Medeco keys was the difficulty in cutting the angles and the proper spacing. Now that is easy.
These researchers are never going to be arrested or charged with anything.
They didnt do anything illegal.
All they did was copy data of packets passing THROUGH their Tor servers they had setup. They didnt compromise other's systems. This may be a moral question, ala reading emails that pass through your relay.
For 4 days in December 2007, they logged and stored the first 150 bytes of each network packet that crossed their network...
That way you get a unique naming scheme that's both logical, understandable (you can convert the host name into its counter value through a simple rainbow table) and reasonably safe from hash collisions.
And all the stuff about Bush being a puppet of Cheyney et al, the same things would be said about Obama if he had an elder VP.
Not to mention the possible crap about both of them being black....
But either way, Powell would make a great VP, IMO, and maybe even a good president. Dont know that much about his politics, but besides his loyalty to command from military experience (and thats me justifying his bull shit UN speech before Iraq war) he seems be level headed and not too corrupt.
But again, i dont know the man at all.
Either way, I hope the next 8 are better than the last 8.
I didnt see the article really saying that "correlation does not equal causation" at some point with a large enough data set.
I saw it as saying "With so much data, you can use that as a base for preliminary research."
You then research those interesting things in traditional ways, but you have started with some sort of insight.
If you have enough images of the sky and stars, you can use the images to look for interesting things first, and then jump on a telescope or satellite when you have something solid to look for.
But to be sure, the author was selling Google is the Answer pretty hard. The application of math to problems is never a bad idea, they are doing it pretty well. And with the evolution of computers, more data and more processing are naturally going to occur.
While this might sound stupid this would give us a rough estimate of how many watts per virtual world it takes and from that we could figure out how many layers deep in the simulation we actually live assuming the top level one is powered by something less than 1 sol of power.
Best idea yet.
We need to learn to hack reality, and take over the simulation.
Plus hacking reality just sounds awesome.
I didnt intend my post to come off in quite the tone that it did.
Turned into a rant and venting always feels good.
I just dont understand how people follow orders or do what they are told so easily. I'm all for helping people that ask for help, but I question why the government wants anyone to do anything.
The government may have been the ones that asked, but the phone companies did their bidding, they though it was a good idea and went through with it. Only Qwest denies the requests, IIRC.
I always hate the comparison...but 'i was just following orders' is not and never will be an excuse to do wrong.
You say no, tell people what was wanted of you and keep saying it is wrong.
This isnt some 3rd world shithole where this deal took place.
There were phone calls and meetings between business men and US government officials. No one was going to be beaten, families raped, or killed for not following orders of the government.
The worst threat anyone in the administration or government had was to TRY to threaten a loss of government contracts. I could also see planting of stories in the media possibly but not really likely...
There was no down side to saying no to questionable requests. NONE.
What the hell ever happened to Question Authority?

Getting positives for pot smoke in the air I can see being reasonable. Cocaine, opiates, perscriptions or other drug traces in sewage water...maybe...
But LSD in the AIR? No damn way what so ever.
How do you even detect such a minute amount to begin with? What is the actual process? (Serious there)
Unless this is replicated there must be some contamination.

Haha, I do not admit failure!!
The meme has clearly spread its insidious influence into the deepest fathoms of our government.
Purge, purge, purge!!!!
Weak troll Matt_dk and SoulSkill.
Lame ass meme.
Tell that to gas stations and their $1.909/gal price.
Shut the fuck up Donny!

After all, it really is all gonna end one day.
Wasnt there a WTO ruling about offshore gambling hat went against the USA?

Looks like USA cant ban online offshore gambling.

What about the conditions of German and eastern European mills?
If everyone has old facilities, America could be prime for high precision machining and fabrication investment.
Just wondering....
Everything is worth what its purchaser will pay.

All DEA Scheduled drugs are legal given proper permits.
Schedule 2-5 usually only require a prescription from a doctor with proper DEA licensing.
Schedule 1+ can also be had, but with more restrictive DEA licensing.
Alexander Shulgin may be the best known for his DEA Schedule 1 license and his ensuing discovery of numerous psychoactive substances.
'Apart from -- obviously -- IPv6-related sites; they ranged from "the largest Gregorian music collection in Internet" to "hardcore torrents."'
Once you can get porn on the medium, you know it is a winner.
Information wants to be Free. You cant stop people from knowing. You cant stop people from teaching.
This is just one more instance of US foreign policy failing in its purpose and then acting to hurt America.
Iran and Iranians can get their computers now and always have. You might as well have American companies making the money.
Same thing with Cuba.
Trade and diplomacy work much better than sanctions and war. You want Castro to fall? Flood Cuba with American tourists and artists.
