Caffiene isn't explicity forbidden from citrus drinks here in Canada, however it is forbidden from "lightly-colored" or "clear" beverages.
At least this was what I was told by Regional Director for Western Canada when I worked for Pepsi a few years ago.
So by this "color guideline" any dark cola can be caffeinated, however no Dew, no 7up/Sprite, etc. etc. This was a relative non-issue in Crystal Pepsi's failure up here - it was just plain terriable regardless of caffeine content.
Maybe PepsiCo will smarten up and make a "dark" Mountain Dew - as long as it tasted the same and had the caffeine of it's southern cousin I could care less how it looks.
If you want one of the real reasons for the huge jump in RAM prices, the first place to point a finger is at the US Commerce Department for charging insane tariffs to Taiwan's DRAM manufacturers.
Apparently Micron didn't take kindly to foreign competition, so they filed a complaint with the Commerce Dept.
So what justification does Micron have for raising their prices as well?
None whatsoever, other than making fistloads of cash due to a scenario they created.
The last paragraph of the link provided below makes this rather clear when Steve Appleton, Micron's chairman, president, and CEO describes how they plan to get around Taiwan's tariffs in return.
This is pure bullshit on the part of Micron, particularly the way that they're laughing all the way to the bank.
Hate to burst your bubble, but there must be at least 1 other 'Nasal' before you - one without the digit after his ID (at least there is as of 20:03 MST)
While I won't even try to pretend to have the faculties to diagnose your mental state, I feel safe recommending that you wear a helmet until you visit somebody who can:)
While at first I was dismayed at yet another attempt to classify people as "normal" or "abnormal", this line of "Where are the women Geeks?" got me thinking about the prevelance of autism related to gender.
After a little bit of digging I found the FAQ below which mentions that Autism affects four times as many males as females.
Within the past few years there has been much publicity given to the fact that educational interest in maths/sciences/engineering is clearly disproportionately male, and growing.
Possibly coincidence, but a little food for thought...

Run a XXX site? Damn right I'm going to rate my site an 11 out 10 - people search for the baddest of the bad. Or if click-through advertisers start limiting their ads to host pages with acceptable ratings, you can bet every page will suddenly be rated "suitable for a 2 year old". Like it or not, the inherent decency of mankind (or what little does exist) will by and large go straight out the window once the almighty dollar makes an appearance.
It took alot of digging, but here's the here's the pre-Glubco-domain pages. Not much I could do to find the images anywhere - the/graphics dirs of both glubco and wpi.edu have been emptied.:/
For those who didn't have the chance to see this device before it was pulled a few months ago, it truly was nasty - and from the tone of the accompanying commentary, scared the living piss out of the glubco creator. While being quite candid with his/their other experiments - this one expressly stated that he would offer absolutely no advice/information/etc on how to create or use the device, other than the fact that some of the parts came from a microwave, as well as several old televisions. The included photos showed a large (non-portable) device on the floor which focused the magnetron through a length of (I believe) pvc piping. The target it was tested on appeared to be both melting and burning simultaneously, though I couldn't discern what it originally was.
I believe the author started the article with a quote (from N.Tesla?) that went something like this: "Each night I pray that I never suffer the experience of internal burns", followed by the author's commentary along the lines of "after creating this device, I now pray the same".
Bottom line is, this is not some mischevious dry ice bomb to fuck with on a slow afternoon.

Last I checked, 7up and Sprite HAD caffeine...
:) (and make sure that the bottling location on the label is in Canada)

Even before medication, I'm sure that some psychiatrist will give it a name - probably relating it to a mild form of autism. :)

There's a vast difference between being gagged and being ignored. Often, it seems, those being ignored confuse the issue with rants about free speech.
I only infringe on your rights if I tell you that you may not speak.
What of my rights when you tell me that I must listen?
