Indeed. I have been on medication for depression a couple of times, but just try to deal with it naturally these days. Doing Parkour has kept me pretty happy this year, but I've been trying to rest my calves the last week or two since I've obviously been overtraining..:/
I wasn't talking about the stock price directly affecting the market, I was talking about other possible side effects. I don't know how much the market even fluctuates on average each day.
Sweet, it's good that they have that patent. I hate when games move the pedestrians out of the way. Carmageddon and GTA were so much more fun than Driver was in that respect. I played Crazy Taxi at the arcades once, didn't really get why it's such a big deal.

My reasoning wasn't that it would give one person years of extended life, my argument was that if it worked for that one person it could then potentially save hundreds of thousands. Not amazingly likely to happen very often of course, and as someone else pointed out, it could lead to demonising of a potentially workable drug..
Oh I meant I bought the CD the same day I downloaded the album. So the proof of purchase is right there on Amazon, and I do have the CD. I'm still not sure that I legally have the "right" to torrent the album though.
My dad smacked me around more than average from what I can tell. Mild aspergers is a possibility I suppose. I've had a few gfs too but I don't particularly care if I'm single forever more. Was all that meant to be particularly funny?
Anyone that really liked the Beatles would have already bought and ripped the remastered albums from last year though, or have had them even before that. I kind of assumed I didn't like the Beatles until Beatles Rock Band came out.
Now I know I like them, but unfortunately for Apple I hate iTunes. I bought a couple of their CDs which I've ripped (well actually I bought the CDs and illegally downloaded the contents, but the net result was the same!). I'm holding off on the rest until Amazon release them on their MP3 store, for cheaper than the CDs.
Or maybe "the market" is down because of the Apple stock issue?
I don't follow the stock market at all, but seeing as Apple are one of the biggest companies in the world then it seems plausible that their announcements could affect "the market" quite a lot. Perhaps over the past week people bought stock in companies which they thought would benefit from some cool new Apple gadget (protective case makers, docks, screen and memory manufacturers, whatever), and now that it turns out that it's just The Beatles back catalog, they're dumping the stocks?
Well, I prefer mistaking serious statements for jokes to the opposite
Not always the best course of action.
There's a game store in town that looked like it was closing down one night with the gate half open, but I asked and the guy running the place at the time said it was still fine to come in. So a few days later when the gate was half down I just popped in for a look at some games and the store manager got irate (there were a group of maybe 5 or 6 of the employees standing there having a chat). I had never seen him before and he looked like a scummy kind of guy, so I assumed he was just kidding. I just laughed and looked at the guy who'd let me in the previous time. He confirmed that in fact the guy was not kidding. It wasn't much fun, I haven't wanted to go back since.
People often think I'm being serious when I'm actually being sarcastic. At least online I tend to put silly emotes after jokes, which is why I write:p so much when doing instant messages or whatever.
It's pretty common for geeks to be rather narcissistic and assume that what they do is more important than what everyone else does. Sure some of the topics that this guy had to write essays on aren't much fun for geeks, and may seem worthless/stupid/evil. But in the real world they are often even more important than the engineering that goes into a product or service. Many products succeed or fail on their marketing or aesthetic value, and not their technical prowess.

Now, this therapy looks rather dangerous and the media takes this and runs. You look bad. The drug looks bad.
Actually that's a really salient point with me after reading the history of how fat was demonised in the 1950s, and the world is still taking its time to realise that not all fats are bad for you, and they don't make you fat, etc. If people perceive some good substance as bad for 60 years, it will do a lot more harm than waiting 10 years for full testing and refining of a drug..
Could be Bezier splines. I worked with my dad on a CAD plugin he wrote that converted geometry into splines for a machine that cut ceramics/textiles. I'd forgotten the "Bezier" name too to be honest.
In what world do you live in that accounting, sustainability, maritime security and ethics do not matter?
Would you really like to live in a world where your employer had no money to pay you, farmers had no crops left to feed you, and pirates and foreign armies were free to invade via sea to rape your wife and daughters while everyone else either watched idly, or cheered them on?
It's pretty funny that you wrote a report on this but can't remember the name for anything:p

The worst that can happen is that it can kill you faster AND make your last days as agonizing as possible
I know this, and I wasn't suggesting they do no animal testing first, it makes perfect sense to at least try that (though our bodies can react differently to mice in many cases). My point is that for those that are going to die a slow agonizing death anyway, the option of 1) cure or 2) faster agonizing death seems like a good one. I'm not suggesting that people who have a little bit of a headache try going into Walmart and try eating washing up capsules.

Not being ignorant is not the same thing as being smart. There are many ignorant smart people, and many well educated idiots..
Are dead people real people?

who hasn't gotten really drunk and tried to have sex with their computer?

I'd raise two, but my other is busy.
I guess the same type of guy that would do gay crack whores..

I had that same problem with Einstein. Clearly, I'm much smarter than him.

Yeah I was expecting this story to be about that guy.
On the plus side, if he gets raped then he'll have plenty of evidence.
I'm thinking it will be full of many final year students making rude gestures :)

That's flamebait if every I've seen it.
