    I Didnt find it that tricky to change , Though its really not as easy as it could be/should be .
    I do admit ive had alot of experiance messing with the innards of g3 Imacs and so on ..perhaps its more difficult than i think as im fairly use to doing it

    As someone who smokes i um have to totaly agree ;) , Ofcourse it is mainly the Addiction thing keeping me doing it but i intend on stopping smoking on monday (I will no ifs no buts no maybes).
    You know they say Pot is a gateway drug , well thats very true but not a gateway drug to Contraband .
    Its what started me smoking , got addicted via Joints when i was in my teens (too late did i discover the Joys of a bottle or a bong) .
    Now i dont smoke pot anymore but still stuck with the Ciggarets .

    For the love of god people , if your going to smoke pot then do it using a method that does not require tobaco .Moral arguments aside whether smoking Pot is wrong or not (no worse than drinking booze and perhaps alot better IMO) But if your going to do , dont catch a tobacco addiction at the same time .

  7. Help parents parent on Illinois Game Law Passes · · Score: 1

    Help parents to parent their children , dont do it for them .
    Its a parents duty to make sure their child has the best upbringing they can and to decided what is and is not suitable . A an Age advisory is fine , but enforcing it with legal powers does noone any good .
    Parents should know their children well enough to know if they are ready to handel a violent game or violent movie and if the parent deems it aceptable then it should be for the child .
    ofcourse this dosn't help bad parents any , but neither do laws like these

  8. Re:Amen. on SMU Lecturer Takes Heat For Blog · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Ive seen plenty of people With Bipolar diagnosed as Scitzophrenic or other disoders at first by totaly incompetent docters , and a hell of alot more just classed as having a mild clinical depresion ..
    One thing ive heard alot is docters going "well your ok now though so perhaps you worked through it" or the likes...And as you most likely know with certain types of Bipolar people can seem totaly fine at times , but try telling that to a GP.
    I have often helped folks get things together for taking to the GP and trying to get them some proper treatment .Shoving someone with BP on a Prozac derivitave could have really negative effects and end up making people worse . I think the main problem is lack of funding and not enough competent psychiatric nurses/docters.

    Unfortunatly its not just in the USA , Its as bad in the UK and Germany .

    Anti-depresants can work in some situations , others require them coupled with intensive therapy to get to the root of the problem , sadly all too often docters are far too happy just to dole out the pills , fire and forget

    The worst part of it is , the people who truely do need the medication seem to always slip through the net.
    Ive seen people with Goth disease(Oh my parents are so nice blah blah my life sucks) shoved on zoetrope and other manageries of medications whilst people with true problems and certifiable conditions are just passed by and ignored .
    Ive seen it all too often and ussualy it does involve parents who are better off and pay for private Psycholigists and therapist who dont think twice up presribing a miracle cure for a teenager with mood swings and angst (unlike every other teenager in the world*cough*).
    On the flip side i know a few people (who thankfully now are getting treatment) who were blown off by doctors as just having teenage angst when really they did have far more serious issues and had clear signs of conditions ranging from Manic-Depresion/bipolar to Schitzophrenia .
    The competence of Docters nowadays really does give some rise for concern especialy in the Psychiatric world , People are either not medicated when they need it , Medicated when they dont need it , or Medicated when they should be in Therapy .

    Yeah but it would also have been a hell of alot better in many of our eyes had it not been associated with star wars..
    Kind of like Doom 3 which was for all intents and purposes in my eyes a great game , but i couldnt help feeling that it just didn't live up to the memory of doom which partialy ruined it for me..
    Im fairly sure this is why alot of folks also dislike ROTS , because it does not live up to the origional trillogy.

    I think there is a strong case for the info being extremly important to these people as soon as its avaliable , IE: they are pinning their future hopes and dreams on going to the uni , if they are accepted or not could be very vital information.
    Speaking as myself here , I don't know what I would have done and I consider myself an extremly ethical person.The ammount of stress people can be under during the waiting period makes for a very uncomfertable situation...
    Its a rather gray area and this is the embodiment of temptation, I will say this as a definant though.
    Harvard is being very very petty about all of this ,Sure ban the ring leader or the person who did it first but i think throwing some slack the way of the rest of the folks is the only decent thing to do.

    Honestly does harvard really have these standards or is it trying to cover its own back , it has often been accused of taking pay offs and inflating grades.
    And it has alot of graduates who wouldn't know the meaning of the word ethical if it slaped them in the face and tattooed it on there hand
