It certainly works for some people--those whose symptoms are actually caused by what the pill treats.
Depression isn't a disease, it's a symptom. The DSM IV's classification scheme is a joke--it is a list of symptom groupings with names. Depression is caused by a long list of conditions, many of them NOT neurological in origin (for example, hypothyroidism).
Physicians who toss out anti-depressants at the first sign of depression without any consideration for what the cause of that depression is should lose their licenses.
You just thought I wouldn't catch a reference to Cicero's De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum.

English:
Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?
On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain.
He gave them permission to use his likeness. He never appeared on set, he never stepped in front of a camera, nothing. All he did was say 'Yeah, looks good.'
Slackware doesn't exist to hold your hand. Get over yourself.
As for the target audience, it's Pat Volkerding. Slackware exists for him. Anyone else who wants it can have it, but it exists to meet his criteria, not yours.
Five years ago I ran Slackware with Grub, automatic updates, a wireless card, and still got laid. More than I do now in fact. Now I'm using a MacBook.
Volkerding makes Slackware to fit two criteria: 1) Stability. A Slackware system should be able to run for 10 years without rebooting. Fantastic server system. 2) Security. A Slackware system should have an absolute minimum of bugs and/or holes.
There are no other criteria for a Slackware release.
If it is not for you, then fine. Don't use it. And while you're at it go be petulant twerp somewhere else.
Because this isn't a public safety issue. It is a public posturing issue.
These scans DO NOT make you more safe. They MIGHT make flying more safe, but flying was already the safest form of transportation.
The government is dumping millions of dollars into making the safest form of transport (even when you count every 9/11 death) safer, which does nothing to stop terrorism.
Terrorists don't hate airplanes. Terrorists want to scare people. Hijacking was a method of choice because you have 100+ hostages in a tin can with no hope of intervention at least until you land. But there are lots of other methods that work just as well to scare people. Driving semi-trucks into school buildings. Mixing bleach and ammonia in day-care bathrooms. Chucking pipe bombs at public parks from moving vehicles. Shooting up liquor stores. Home made dynamite. People are easy to scare.
I don't believe I have a right to fly on a plane.
But I'm not so stupid as to think these scans are about public safety.
I'm not advocating Slackware for everyone. I'm not knocking Ubuntu (or even Red Hat). But if you like playing with your operating system, and want to really understand how all the parts fit together Slackware is THE choice because it forces you to do that. This is by design, it isn't meant for luddite grandmothers. It's not for everyone.
The inside of my mind is like James Joyce's Ulysses and Fight Club combined. That I am also a vehement pacifist would be ignored by the men waterboarding me.
Thoughts are not controllable, actions are. This is why thoughtcrime is so insidious.
Choose wisely, for he signed into law a 91% marginal tax bracket in 1954.
The point is that you can't point at one policy point and then declare a man to be socialist. I'm in favor of 'socialized' medicine for entirely unsocialist reasons--if DNA testing proves to have significant predictive capabilities, the private insurance market will collapse altogether and that will be WORSE.
Well with an arabic sounding Slashdot alias like that, you MUST be a terrorist! No wonder they pulled you over. I bet you were mumbling bad things about the Padashah Emperor under your breath.
In case you've forgotten, in 1999 two high school students figured out how to pack enough pipe bombs to kill more than a few people, even if they hadn't had all the guns.
Anyone who ever passed an organic chemistry class in college can figure out how to make dynamite.
The fact that these attacks are not occurring every day is fairly clear evidence that the security isn't necessary in the first place because they really are that easy. So the airport is surrounded with guards--so the suicide bomber walks into a supermarket and blows himself up next to the first person he sees with ham in their cart. There is nothing to stop him.
Hell, good old fashioned armed assault--break into peoples homes, shoot them, scream to allah, run away, rinse and repeat. Terrorizing people is easy.
The simple reality is that the reason these things don't happen every day is because the number of people who want to do them is infinitesimally small. That is the only reason society works--most of us don't want to murder and steal.
On the contrary, in the US it seems they are in very short supply. The car bomb tactic is so simple, and so unpreventable that the only rational reason they aren't setting them off here everyday is the lack of personnel. This suggests that actual terrorists in the US are exceedingly rare.
This is assuming that they are not alternatively blisteringly incompetent.

I bet the ISS has several working players, one for each region code with a member state.
Because they'd been looking at the vast expanses of nothingness for 6 days already.
Haven't you ever seen Event Horizon?

What was that about my attention span?
Methinks the lady doth protest too much.
You need to hire better hookers.
Sounds like somebody's on a no-where town city council to me. You wouldn't happen to be the new mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, would you?
I was totally expecting you to go somewhere else with that in the second line, like Dr Manhattan. Wasn't expecting the giant squid.
Yeah, but have you ever had lunch with those MS sales reps?
How many soldiers do you think would say no to Vista if they got a handjob under the table while eating filet mignon out of the deal?
*facepalm*
No. If you're so clueless that you can't read, what are you doing on /.?

Survival rations for the post-apocalyptic age.
Just because it exists doesn't mean we can imagine or fathom it.
I can tell you he wasn't, and that it was CGI and a body double.
Burn. In. Hell.
I dunno bout the Bene Gesserit, but I've never had an orgasm out of fear.

Tell me which train runs from LA to Tokyo please. I'd take a ship if I could, but that isn't much of an option anymore.

Yes | No
