You may be impaired and not even know it. Judging the use of your language I'd say that your reasoning skills have been adversely affected as well.
This study proves an IQ drop of 5 or more points per week.
Another study "found that marijuana users have lower levels of carotenoids in the serum. The authors concluded this was associated with different dietary habits: "We found higher cigarette-smoking rates and higher consumption of sodas and alcohol, specifically beer, among marijuana users than among non-current marijuana users."
Another study concluded that "Regular marijuana use can lead to extensive airway injury and alterations in the structure and function of alveolar macrophages, potentially predisposing to pulmonary infection and respiratory cancer."
I'm sorry you and your buddies have exposed yourself to something so dangerous for so long. I hope one day you will be able to function normal lives.
Yep, marijauana is harmless. My friend who smoked it for about 5 years now has extremely slow speech, slow reaction times and dropped out of school. He has no sex drive and his memory sucks.
I'm so glad it's safe otherwise he'd be in real trouble.
You know how most software I see gets into the companies I have consulted for? Some sales person has waltzed in and had a nice chat with someone who can make decisions. That person buys the software and it's implemented whether or not the technical people want it.
Contrast that to OSS. Most OSS enters a company through a grass roots effort by coders or network admins. It doesn't have the flare or the marketing that some of the big names have. It doesn't have sales staff pushing day in and day out.
As long as business continues to run the way it does, OSS will always have a tough time in the enterprise because OSS normaly isn't a business that is trying to be aggressive and gain desktops.
You're exactly right. When Google went public, it became ALL about the profit for the shareholders. Nothing more, nothing less. They want to see those numbers increase every single quarter and if they don't...they sell.
If you out of the blue decide you just don't like Spain and attack Spain just for the heck of it, it's murder. The reason most do not consider soldiers in a way as not committing murder is because there is a chain of command where as the person that issued the order "could" be considered murder. A lof of it, I believe, comes down to the justification for the killing.
Now, we both know (assuming you are not someone just trying to get a rise out of religious folks in which case your post is flamebait) that God is not a hypocrit. Still one of the downsides to many things in all religions is that there are so many ways to interpret certain meanings for personal gain. Not a lot you can do about that except understand and have faith that those people who exploit religion for personal gain will most certainly be judged.
Are you an American? If so, he's your President too. If not, why are you commenting?
As far as knowing a lot of Christians who want to push religion on others...I know of quite a few Atheists and Agnostics who do the same. Atheists in my opinion have tried to take away the idea of a Merry Christmas from me for years.
Don't treat someone as the enemy just because you disagree with them. However, I guess everytime I Jehova's witness knocks on my door I should start screaming that they are trying to push their religion on me. (your words, not mine)
Sounds more to me like it is something that the democrats would pull in an attempt to discredit the President. I personally don't see it. He has been attacked on his ideaology since he was first elected - it is one of the things that always comes up in attacks. Why don't they actually stop using the word ideology and just say they hate him because he is a Christian?
I wouldn't call it news worthy. Maybe yellow journalism but not true news. The whole reason it has a disclaimer is because its not stable software.
Anyone running the software is taking full responsibility - the whole point of a beta is to find, report and fix bugs. If they had the bugs fixed it wouldn't be a beta.
Its not a problem for those that are running Virtual PC.
If you are testing beta software, you really should be running it on a different machine or in something like VMWare. If you're not - you're asking for trouble.
I shouldn't have to remind people on/. that beta software should not be ran/tested on a production machine whether it's made by Microsoft, Adobe, or even a game. Beta does not mean stable!
The only thing I've used the google toolbar for are two things.
1) Search google
2) Popup blocking
Everything else, I've never found a need for. It's just "there". So, keep adding features I'll never use and I'll consider it bloatware by next version.
Google even displays a list of live search terms on a screen that visitors can view in its Silicon Valley headquarters.
Maybe its just me, but that in itself seems like a HR violation waiting to happen. Imagine having to look at a scrolling board in your companies lobby of all of the things searched for!
You take a break and walk outside for some air, look up and see PORN terms scrolling by during your entire work day.
I agree with you about Google. It is a bubble. People are arguing that they are being profitable therefore it's not a bubble but the way I see it, the more they try to diversify their costs go up decreasing the profit. Some ventures they have could only really make it if it were free. Google Talk, GMail - sorry, I don't see people paying for this.
Yes, it will correct itself at some point - seriously inflated stock always deflates at some point in time or another.

Mac has always been a niche market machine - there are people who just love Mac's. Now, take away an OS they like, add Linux and listen for screaming.

Just not in conjunction with another human being.

Red hat a one hit wonder? I thought they had the starring role in "March of the Penguins 2".

They don't call it Evercrack for nothing. At least you are not in denial and admitted you relapsed.
Exactly. I know when to stop reading stupid stories like this after my eyes start to bleed.
Just watch for the signs and prevent.

i am only deeply ashamed *here's a hankie*
Well if there is no insulin you can look to evolution and hope that by the time you pass away you will have evolved beyond the need for insulin.
Engineer? More than likely its "Architect"
Don't worry, as soon as they become a more prevalent standard - they WILL be a target in the future.

EXACTLY!
Google is an over-valued company - most people just can't see it right now because of the "cool" factor that is Google and the awe of the stock price.
Back in the middle of the bubble we saw article after article of company gobbling up company after company. It's happening again.

Real Ultimate Power is linked in the "See Also" Love it! One time, this Ninja totally flipped out just because this kid looked at him.
Ted Kennedy must have an entire staff dedicated to covering up Chappaquiddick.
