sorry... nothing to contribute today but my name {thats what alcohol does... if i was (just) stoned, i would have a few pages to contribute}....damn alcohol....
so if I invited you into my house, I could ask you to wear a rfid bracelet, so ya know when you say your going to the bathroom I can be sure you actually are? remember...you got nothing to hide...
As far as Apple vs. Beatles fans... well, sure I like the Beatles and all, but really, nothing is forever, and if Apple Corp can't market their product to the young'uns (and how likely are they to go to a store to buy their parents, nay grandparent's, music?) their future is pretty predictable.
To be fair, I am 21 and Own all the albums on both vinal on CD (and on my Ipod whether they like it or not)
Beatles music is forever, just like people will continue to buy Elvis music for years to come. You almost need to lump them in a new group the "modern classical"(copyrighted by me);) meaning not classical music in the sense of Mozart, but in its longevity.
I have no problem with DNA samples being taken from people committing crimes.
Ok so I pull you over for having a tail light out, your committing a crime, do we take your DNA and test it on the spot? you dont have anything to hide right so let me go back to my patrol car and grab my kit, your not on file you say? well in the eyes of the law you just commited a crime, ill be taking a sample now thank you
They 'now seemingly make many decisions based on these two things: 1. Avoiding negative publicity (especially about security and software quality) 2. Making sure the largest enterprise customers are happy.'"
you know to a degree I must agree with you. Going into the class I did feel like I knew it all, and it proved to be so on the tests I took. (never had lower than a 98)
Looking back did I go about things wrong? maybe. maybe I shoulda taken the post belows advice and just sat back and read. However if i am paying 15Gs a semester for school,
I want to be taught something. This is slashdot, you cannot tell me you have never tried to "educate" a teacher on a subject you felt he was wrong on. and BTW when I am proven "wrong" I will fess up to it
The comment about dropping out, yes I did, but I forgot to mention that I have re-enrolled after 2 years off, and a few certs, and am on my way to finishing.
So in conclusion. I may have been a little too cocky. I did leave because I felt I wasn't learning anything I am back now, I still don't feel I am learning anything college almost seems like a toll you gotta pay for a job interview.
I don't recall all the details, however he said pretty much an IP address is like a phone number.... and thats it, when i asked for elaboration he said it didn't matter. I than continued to tell him how personally I feel a street address is a better analogy.
I may have been wrong myself but that is how I was taught by my CISCO CCNA teacher, I would rather take his word on it that a teacher pulling 3 different classes, only one being a CS class.
Granted I am only 21, I started working on my CS degree when I was 17, went for 3 semesters and stopped. I have been hands on with machines since about the age of 7 and found the classes boring (the teacher tried to tell us how an ip address is exactly like a phone number, and would not hear how its not really that much like a phone number more like a street address.... he said I was crazy)
Being 21 I find it IS worth going back to classes,even if its only part time. Unfortunately I found out the hard way no matter how much you know, without that little square of paper, they will not even look at you 90% of the time.
Now if you know someone who will open the door for ya great, but if not, at least grab some certs. They will at least look at you that way.
I work at a resort where Hilary came to stay on a few occasions. I got to speak with her for a few minutes each time (one before the 06 election and the other one after).Note this was RIGHT after the 06 election... I am talking a few days, so I addressed her as a momber of congress, not so much a future presidential candidate.I asked her this exact question, well along the lines of our current president has been trampleing on our civil rights be it on the net, the phone systems, what we do in our own homes. Will you be looking out for us and perhaps reversing some of the recent invasions, nsa wire taps and federal raids of medical marijuana patients.(I'm in New York, her state, we do not allow medical marijuana...yet) She said that she was very upset with these as well, she said something along the lines of some papers in the works to attempt to prevent further erosions but didn't give me any further details.
take it with a grain of salt as anybody can say anything, but to me, she seemed sincere.
In Alaska, cannabis was decided legal for in-home, personal use under the Ravin vs. State ruling in 1975. This ruling allowed up to four ounces of cannabis for these purposes. A 1991 voter ballot initiative recriminalized marijuana possession, but when that law was eventually challenged in 2004, the Alaska court's upheld the Ravin ruling, saying the popular vote could not trump the state constitution.In response to former Governor Frank Murkowski's successive attempt to re-criminalize cannabis, the ACLU filed a lawsuit against the state. On July 17, 2006, Superior Court Judge Patricia Collins awarded the Case Summary judgement to the ACLU. In her ruling, she said "No specific argument has been advanced in this case that possession of more than 1 ounce of cannabis, even within the privacy of the home, is constitutionally protected conduct under Ravin or that any plaintiff or ACLU of Alaska member actually possesses more than 1 ounce of cannabis in their homes." This does not mean that the legal possession threshold has been reduced to one ounce, as this was a mere case summary review filed by the ACLU, not a full case. Reinforcing Ravin, Collins wrote "A lower court cannot reverse the State Supreme Court's 1975 decision in Ravin v. State" and "Unless and until the Supreme Court directs otherwise, Ravin is the law in this state and this court is duty bound to follow that law". The law regarding possession of cannabis has not changed in Alaska, and the Supreme Court has declined to review the case, therefore the law still stands at 4 ounces.[citation needed]
marihuana is the traditional spelling of the word marijuana, even in congress to this day SOME articles written use this spelling but as of around 1960 -1970 they started using the term marijuana
technically yes, the marihuana act of 1937 was enacted to stop the influx of the mexican population fro getting in the USA, it did not make weed illegal, just you had to have a stamp and well the government wouldnt give you one (i am lazy wiki it if you care)
If a power is not listed in the Constitution, it is not supposed to be available to the Federal government which means if one wants something done at the federal level, it needs to be ratified and amended, which is why alcohol prohibition had an AMENDMENT.
When Nixon created the DEA congress said no because...its UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Unless the PEOPLE wanted this origination, than it would need to be amended, which of course would never happen. Long story short Nixon told congress where to stick it and TA'DA we have this stupid orginisation which ruins lives and polices the world. (again im lazy google it)
So to answer the question, the Ganjadude says UNLESS STATE LAW STATES that marijuana is illegal, (which most do) than its not.
you can legally possess up to 4 ounces in alaska, and 11 states have decriminalized possession of small amounts to nothing worse than a parking ticket while about the same use it medically
our president is an ex coke head yet he spends more cash locking up people for the same, what a crock

Does that mean that weed is really legal?
technically yes, the marihuana act of 1937 was enacted to stop the influx of the mexican population fro getting in the USA, it did not make weed illegal, just you had to have a stamp and well the government wouldnt give you one (i am lazy wiki it if you care)
