    That's kinda weird.It's different here across the pond. I've yet to find bluntwraps in places that do not sell tobacco.
    And not all tobaccoshops or nightshops sell them anyway. I would like to say it's 3:1 (tobacco store vs tobacco store with wraps).

    since everyone buys those for one damn reason.

    Yes to try something new and fresh and have a flavoured smoke.

    People sure as hell aren't buying grape-flavored shit to fill it with tobacco.

    Ever heard of a hookah ? It's a bong usually used to smoke "flavoured tobacco". So I wouldn't feel confident to put the 100% number out there, heck I know people who use tips and long leaves regardless of the cilinder's contents.

    No, I don't know how he was hacked. I was just painting a possible scenario.

    That dev is one dense motherfucker, his only reply is "Yes but how did you get infected in the first place", as if that mattered in any way.

    I actually like not having to deal with the cheap plastic spring systems.
    Or the older system with the "enclosure" where you have to position the card before inserting.

  6. Edibles are hard to dose. I still smoke occasionally because I like the aroma's burning gives.
    Also the effects of every method is slightly different.

    Actually I've heard a psychologist speculate that the constant stimulation of the current world might actually be bad for us physically - at least according to her, it's very much like being in fight-or-flight mode all the time.

    I agree, it's like where all chased and have to constantly perform and be available.

    Frankly I've formed the exact same opinion as ShangaBill concerning extinction.
    The small therapods seem to have evolved into the birds we see everyday.
    But where are the big sauropod's descendants ? I assume this jaded (erroneous) opinion is caused by the smaller animals
    being a lot more numerous and uninteresting compared to the bigger ones.

    Audacity
    Highly overrated and has a UI that's ass. You'd be better off with Goldwav. It's worth the price if you edit audio on a regular basis and if not then the trial version is more than adequate.

    Whatever happened to CoolEdit ?

  17. Re:How would it have benefitted Windows RT people? on Desktop Apps Make Their Way Into the Windows Store (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    Well, you're right, and I guess the OP was just being wishful. But then again, what big advantage is there in loading X86 WIN32 apps via the app store, when an X86 desktop system can load them easily already? If it's simply for the sake of the distribution mechanism (and if MS is going to take a cut), I can't imagine too many wanting to take advantage.

    They would have an app store doing all the updating and marketing previously unknown programs.

    You're absolutely right.
    I'm from Belgium, a country that has a lot of social programs, 2 language communities and whippersnap politics.
    But we can even go the FOD financien (IRS) beforehand and have them help fill out our taxform.
    I did that this year for the first time and it was a huge relief and absolutely necessary considering the situation I'm in.
    So get (cheap) tax aid people, not only for yourself, but for your mother, grandmother or whoever you're the go-to-guy for.

  21. Re:Tax avoidance vs. Tax evasion on 'Paying Taxes Is a Lot Better Than Phony Corporate Courage, Apple' (theintercept.com) · · Score: 1

    It's important to understand the difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion. Tax avoidance is taking all the deductions, programs, etc. you are entitled to under tax law. We would never expect an individual to not take a tax deduction or child credit etc. because they have "courage". That's just bad personal finances.

    Yet most people are unknowingly `courageous` because they don't have a tax team behind them.

  25. Re:Contrasting anecdote on 8TB Drives Are Highly Reliable, Says Backblaze (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    The thing that bothers me about Backblaze, and the reason why I have a very hard time taking their results seriously, is the way they design their pods. They take a custom fabbed chassis, then fill it with the most ghetto components known to man: SATA port multipliers, ultra-low-end HBAs, dual "gamer" power supplies, very substandard cooling, and until recently they used super sketchy desktop boards. It's only last year that they finally changed the board for a Supermicro, primarily to get 10GbE very cheaply. For that same money, you can buy a ready-made 60-bay Supermicro chassis with redundant power and SAS - and a warranty. Hell, I bet SM would deliver directly to Backblaze's doorstep *and* give them a friendly discount.

    I agree completely, especially about all the marvell crap, but what's so wrong about a gamer PSU.
    What besides form factor makes a zippy PSU that much better ?
