Mentioning "fresh sperm" just gave me the idea to tattoo "100% Local, 100% Organic" on my balls. Yuppy chicks will go crazy for it. After all, everyone knows that getting your sperm locally and organically is a lot healthier than the mass-produced crap being pumped out of laboratories.
Actually... I went looking for one time use numbers recently, and about the only way to still get them is through PayPal (I think Citibank might still also offer the service). And while PayPal offers the option to lock it to one site, it forces you to tie it to a payment source like your bank account, and doesn't allow you to set charge limits.
The reason is because Pandora has to pay royalties per play while RF gets a free pass. They've spent the last two years fighting this in congress, and this fee is the fallout from the most recent royalty settlement which still leaves them with the highest royalties of all radio formats.

Thanks for pointing this out, I get so annoyed by people who assume that trying to apply free market solutions means endorsing complete anarchy. And then there are others who don't see how regulation can sometimes help make a market more free and increase competition.
There's a worse double standard here though that was struck down. Video games vs. Every other form of media. In the extreme case, what if they had tried to pass a similar law for books? Not even movies are subject to this though, there is no legal requirement for movies to be rated, or for theaters to bar children from movies. All rating and enforcement is done voluntarily by the theaters.
The double standard we have for sex and violence is a deep rooted societal issue that can't be undone with a few court rulings, but rulings like the one in the TFA can sure as hell beat back the tide of idiot legislators that try to pass this brain-dead anti-video game laws.
From my understanding, this might help people with "real" ADHD too. The brain does not have some static wiring scheme, force it to do something enough and it will make new wiring to handle that something more efficiently. Some of this is probably just teaching concentration, but it sounds like the goal is to keep subjects in a correct thought patterns for long enough patterns that the brain actually starts to rewire to fit these new patterns.
Well INAP(I'm Not a Psychiatrist), but I could see how you could use this system to train aggression instead of concentration if you wanted. It basically rewards the players for having correct brainwave patterns. Assuming you can isolate aggressive thought patterns, just have the system trigger of that. For best results I would hook it to a game set in the middle of some city full of innocent pedestrians and a large assortment of melee weapons. (For best results, play with Wii remote). Damage/powerups are controlled by how aggressive the player can keep their thoughts. Pretty soon you'll probably have created a homicidal maniac, or at least a rage filled individual.
Oh man, it all makes sense now. I did some asking around, turns out everyone I know with cancer, at one point or another, came into contact with oxygen. Shit, some of then claimed that at work they were constantly inhaling it day in and day out.
I looked through medical journals, but I couldn't find any articles about this. Why hasn't anyone picked up on this? What does California know that the doctors don't? I bet everyone in the medical community is going to feel really stupid when I point out the obvious link between cancer and oxygen.
I'm going to submit my article to all the leading journals, just as soon as I finish reading this scary link my friend sent me about Dihydrogen Monoxide. Somehow it's completely contaminated our water supply; aren't we supposed to have government agencies to monitor this shit?
foreach (Patent oldPatent in PatentOffice.Patents)
{
newPatent = oldPatent.Clone();//here is the inovative part!!!!!!
newPatent.Text += " with a computer.";
The article at least seemed to have a fairly good grasp of the subject. I guess they may have overstated the implications a bit to make the article seem less boring.
Although, no one even seems to read far enough into the article to come away with that naive misunderstanding. Instead people seem to think this related to carbon-14 dating and going into off-topic discussions about creationism when the off-topic discussion for this article should in-fact be global warming.
"It is a place in the sun's atmosphere, about 5000 km above the stellar surface, where magnetic fields overwhelm the pressure of matter and seize control of the sun's gases. It's where solar flares explode, where coronal mass ejections begin their journey to Earth, where the solar wind is mysteriously accelerated to a million mph. It is, in short, the birthplace of space weather."
Did anyone else get aroused reading the summary?
I don't know about the rest of you, but the sun gets me pretty hot.

English failing? The fee is one-time since it is non-recurring. And it's not (unlimited) (for one month). It's (unlimited for one month)

What if we blow our selves up with some really cool stuff? I'm thinking lots of last words along the lines of "Damn! That's awesome!"
Obvious troll. I've seen your account posting in discussions for years.
The feds do not appreciate people who think they can half-ass security measures
I know! They get really threatened by people who try to outdo them at their own job.
Java? Maybe you should try INTERCAL instead.
Imagine all the chicks he scored telling everyone he's running XServe machines.
That doesn't actually work . . . does it?
I think I'll go grab my credit card, just in case.
I'm most looking forward to N. Naughty Nymph all the way! With a name like that, 2011 will surely be the Year of the Linux Desktop.

I'm hoping that for the N release they combine "Naughty" and "Nymph"
You must be old here.
Is there a logic behind the name? Do they mean A-Space as in "a space" as in "it's a space, somewhere, but we won't tell you where or whose it is."
Or, do they mean a space for the A-Team.
(Please say it's the second option)

The only sensible mod for this post would be -1 Troll, +6 Underrated. Thus achieving the holy grail of +5 troll.
Point is though if you catch the government doing something you can file under those three headers they should not be doing it at all...
Wait I think I spotted something not on that lis-Oh hey there's another one. And another, and-HOLY FUCK! We're going to need a bigger gun.
