"Growing good, potent cannabis takes time and effort"
Speaking as a medical marijuana user and one that grows at home, you're WRONG.
I've got some REALLY potent G-13 Haze that took nothing more than planting and watering outdoors. See the trick to POTENT cannabis is almost totally dependent upon the UVB exposure the plant receives during flowering. Capitulate trichomes on the calyxes filters out visible wavelengths of light, yet UV radiation passes completely through. UVB, and to a far lesser extent UVA, is used in the phytochemical process to convert CBD into THC because of the high energy potential.
You only need good care to grow a LARGE plant, from there it's genetics and UV exposure that determines final potency.
Data? How about the fact that if Hemp was legalized again it would hold a fucking virtual monopoly over the medical, paper, textiles, oils, bioplastics, and health food markets? Do you even have a CLUE as to what marijuana's uses are? We used hhemp primarily for EVERYTHING in the beginning of our country. Lamp oils, clothing, OUR CONSTITUTION WAS WRITTEN ON FUCKING HEMP PAPER, SO WAS OUR MONEY, livestock feed.
Of course you probably weren't aware that it was a LAW that every landowner grow cannabis on their property, starting in 1619.
Read Eric Schlosser's 'Reefer Madness' sometime.
For shame, I thought someone with a UID half of mine would know better. Guess that's not necessarily the case, eh?
Because America is divided between people who hate risk more than they love freedom and people who hate hippies more than they love freedom.
WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The REASONS are DuPont and other companies that hemp was a major threat to, like the cotton industry, paper industry, oils industry, and more. Hemp had a virtual monopoly because it's so damned useful. In fact hemp oil was still the STANDARD recommended machine lubricant during the WWII era.
The only Dethklok song worth playing on GH is Thunderhorse. Everything else is just WAY too simple for any sort of a challenge, even in a GH game. And Thunderhorse has already been done in a GH game, I think.
Actually if a judge thought about it long enough he could force Microsoft to remove all DRM capability from Vista if he decided it was a threat to personal security or if it could be used to defraud customers.
Just like a judge could order EA to recall all copies of Spore and release a new version without SecuROM in it.
I thought it was as simple as just modifying the spin of one entangled particle half to make the other half change, and this could be used as a form of one-way data communication. I didn't think you'd have to store the information beforehand when splitting entangled particles.
I've also heard that the 'spooky effect' may actually be faster than light. Not good for teleportation but great for data transmission. If we could just build a device, put it on the moon, and have it's entangled twin on earth, and we could do a lag test. The moon is just over one light-second away from us. So to and back would be around two and a half seconds or so, quite measurable lag. Hell even a satellite in space would be just as easy.
Now building the things, that's a different story.
Are you fucking kidding me? Did YOU pay for that notebook? No? Then I'm filing that police report, and I'm having your ass arrested for THEFT OF PROPERTY. Ripping the notes from my paid-for notebook will result in a willful damage and vandalism charge or two being put on you as well. Let's see how high and mighty you are after spending some time in jail, not to mention what that would immediately do to your career as a teacher in any capacity.
Don't file a police report, my ass. Nobody's going to take you seriously until one gets filed. Not the media, who need something to latch onto. Not the Dean, who probably wouldn't care until an arrest actually happened, which means a judge saw a reason to have the teacher jailed.
As for a class so unimportant you wouldn't want to keep your notes? Keynesian economics.
I was working and paying taxes in high school at age 15.
Also, plain and simple. Did the teacher buy the physical resource (the notebook?) No. That is therefore the student's property, and the teacher is guilty of petty theft of property. Ripping the notes out would be willful destruction of property to add, plus vandalism under $500.
In this case I'd have the police immediately arrest the teacher under those charges, were I the parents.
"It is against the law for children to take nude pictures of themselves....because their youth and immaturity make them more vulnerable to the kinds of harm that having a nude picture of one's self can cause..."
Then they'd better make it fucking illegal for a minor to even own a mirror, even in their bathroom, because imagine what harm would be done to them if they saw themselves, wet and nude, after a hot, steamy shower, day after day?
"What we need is to recognize that children are sexual beings and often capable of making their own decisions regarding their sexuality."
No. What we need to realize is that ANY SPECIES, once it gains the ability to reproduce, will attempt to mate. Displays of nudity are merely a courtship ritual. Girls will flash their tits, guys will drop drawers and waggle their cocks around. IT'S NATURAL FOR FUCK'S SAKE, and punishing these children under this law is absolute BULLSHIT.
The DA prosecuting the case needs to be dragged out into the street and stoned to death. Same thing with the teacher that uncovered all this.
If the RIAA were to obtain my hard drive, they'd find that I have HUNDREDS of full albums that they gave away FOR FREE.
I can point out EVERY site that I downloaded a song from, and most of them just happen to be directly from the artist's site.
So tell me, how the fuck can they justify suing for shit they're giving out for FREE? I've got 80+ gigs of 192-320kbit MP3s, EVERY LAST ONE LEGIT.
What we need to do to put a stop to this is file a collective lawsuit, millions of people against this conglomeration of assholes. Make the justice system listen to our voices until they go DEAF from it. Maybe then we'll put an end to this nonsense.
A similar thought would be coating wind turbines with solar panel material. And that can scale to some degree, given enough atmospheric pressure and wind, plus sun exposure. Deserts would be ultra-ideal for this.
Why does a LifeCam VX-3000 and Freetalk Wireless Headset somehow eat up ALL of that bandwidth? If the cam's on first, if I try to use the headset in skype I get "There is not enough bandwidth" in the lower right corner.
What the hell is up with that? EVERY port on my machine is USB 2.0
Only things hooked up to USB *RIGHT NOW* are: Logitech MX wireless laser mouse Compaq USB wireless keyboard Lifecam VX-3000 Freetalk Wireless Headset.
Both wireless mouse and keyboard are on the front ports. Cam and headset are on the back.
You apparently miss the point of what I'm saying, so I'm going to break it down for you.
It took nvidia 480 cores to get performance of what 8 cores could do. The GPU isn't counted in the PS3 as part of the theoretical performance of the PS3.
I'll bet this card also eats more power compared to a full-blown PS3. That's TOO FUCKING MUCH SILICON.
Case = bullshit $20 wonderjob at a pawn shop. PSU - 700w Rocketfish for 70 bucks. mobo/CPU combo - PC Chips with dual-core AMD Athlon64 X2 5200+ - 60 bucks RAM - 4GB cheapo RAM - 20 bucks from craigslist. GPU - 512MB 9800GTX+ - 175 from pricewatch. Hard Drive - 80GB 7200RPM WD - FREE from craigslist, complete with porn! Optical drive - DAEMON TOOLS, but I've found the one in my machine for 10 bucks OS License - XP Pro - 100.
455 bucks, Crysis at 1920x1080 at high settings. I get very few framerate issues, in fact I only got them during the battleship invasion part of the game.
"I'm waiting for the latest and greatest supercomputers to have huge GPU farms."
This thing just now is hitting 2 TFLOPS where the PS3's theoretical performance is 2 TFLOPS.
Folding @ home? Granted, this thing only has 8 cores and a custom GPU but hey, that's still putting it on par with the new nVidia card alone, let's not mention price, which is roughly equivalent.

You might want to scan your computer for SecuROM, then, considering one of it's first priority tasks is to usurp your Administrative privileges.
More would know if only the companies would ADVERTISE it.
But see, their marketing and engineering departments are so out of touch that the GOOD features get swept away by stupid SPECS.
Wrap the entire phone in sound-proofing material and leave the lens uncovered.
Not like those tiny phones can emit a sound loud enough for a person a hundred feet away could hear.

Or if you're one of the smart ones to buy a laptop with an MXM slot you could just open the laptop up and toss in a new card.
HP carries a few.

You're obviously not a patriot, either.
Real patriots have criminal records for standing up to the government, like me. What do you got, son?
Here's why I download all the hell I want:
If the RIAA were to obtain my hard drive, they'd find that I have HUNDREDS of full albums that they gave away FOR FREE.
I can point out EVERY site that I downloaded a song from, and most of them just happen to be directly from the artist's site.

Sadly "Need a Medic!" is about all you hear coming from any server I play on while the medic sits around and stares at your dead corpse.
At least the bots can be bothered to revive you. Can't say the same for the players.
A similar thought would be coating wind turbines with solar panel material. And that can scale to some degree, given enough atmospheric pressure and wind, plus sun exposure. Deserts would be ultra-ideal for this.
I've seen PLENTY of compatibility problems.
480megabits for USB 2.0, yea?
Why does a LifeCam VX-3000 and Freetalk Wireless Headset somehow eat up ALL of that bandwidth? If the cam's on first, if I try to use the headset in skype I get "There is not enough bandwidth" in the lower right corner.

"are 7, not 8. The original design of the Cell uses 8, but Sony uses the "spares" with one broken core to reduce spendings."
WRONG. The 8th core is RESERVED FOR REDUNDANCY, meaning in case one of the others fails it's there to take over. Not one fucking thing is broken.
You didn't even bother to read the specs directly from Sony's website, did ya? Here, I'll quote it since you don't know.
"* 1 of 8 SPEs reserved for redundancy total floating point performance: 218 GFLOPS"
Now, then. Back to WRITING CODE ON THE PS3. Later.
You apparently miss the point of what I'm saying, so I'm going to break it down for you.
It took nvidia 480 cores to get performance of what 8 cores could do. The GPU isn't counted in the PS3 as part of the theoretical performance of the PS3.

Exosquad for the Sega Genesis worked almost EXACTLY in this fashion, but not from complete start to finish.
I'll do one better.
