I dunno about what you typed. Here in Australia though "crown jewels" means something umm... err.. well I aint giving them away and I'll keep them snug-as-a-bug in my underwear... err, on second thoughts don't read this message
Sorry, but I find that the word "a" was omitted because of a technical error is hard to believe. I'd be willing to bet those first words were well rehearsed. Besides, the recording does seem to maintain continuity. I find it easier to believe that in this age of political/sexual correctness that the word "a" has been added to the statement made by Armstrong and labelled a glitch to satisfy the opposition. BTW, this is a pet-peeve of mine. "Mankind" _DOES_ include women. To say that "mankind" is excluding a sex is pedantic and childish. It's typical semantic jibbersish from those who have no real argument. Thanks:-)
I see lots of comments like "it's the internet" and "what a bunch of suckers". Although, personally, I'd never respond to something like the story indicates, I feel that the person who released info on the respondants is, indeed, a sociopath. If he was NOT a sociopath, then he'd have some empathy for those who responded; ignoring, or having no, empathy IS (basically) sociopathic behaviour. I hope he gets sued... or better, goes to prison. And to label the whole activity as an "experiment" is ludicrous.
Here's an innovative idea: use a spelling or grammar check. I had to give up reading the articles because they're so badly written. For example:
"The challenge is, once you've got all these bookmarks, how do you manage them? The problem were really dealing with is memory and recall, and using technology to make your memory more scalable."
What the heck does that mean? (Yes, it's probably meant to be "we're", but, sheesh, what happend to editing?) I am not a grammar-monkey, but poorly written articles do tend to make be question their credibility.
I am from Australia. One of the first things that struck me when I first visited America was the amount of water in the toilet. Now, I don't know whether or not it's just that American toilets store the water in the bowl, whereas in Australia it's stored in the cistern (tank above toilet), but the American toilets did have much more water for my pooh to fall into. I still haven't worked out if this is a good or bad thing. With more water there is less chance for your pooh to stick to the sides and embaress the next person, but more chance for evil toilet water to splasg into your bum.

Yes, fraud is not completely synonymous with theft, but fraud is always criminal. Fraud is usually used as a tool for theft. I'm not sure why your post is modded as insightful because, really, it's quite stupid. Fraud in 9 times out of 10 will == theft.

I agree with much of what you say. I think you don't understand the meaning of Detox though.
A detox clinic is somewhere you go to make it nigh-on impossible to obtain whatever chemical
Not true. The body becomes dependant on the drug (homeostasis etc), and therefore stopping taking the drug can be dangerous, as the body has become adapted to the constant supply of the drug. Not being able to obtain the drug in Detox is irrelevent. Benzodiazapemes probably _would_ be available in a detox for that drug.The point of detox is to reaccustom the body to a life without drugs. And this is different to all the psychological stuff.A better definition would be: A detox clinic is somewhere you go until the chemical is gone from the body and the physical effects of withdrawal are gone.
Finally, in 2001
diagnosed by Dr.
Theresa Yang (brilliant
woman) with Lyme
Disease, Bartonella
Henselae, and Babesia
Microti.
And Yang is brilliant because she made a diagnosis that supported the author... typical pseudoscience IMHO.
Please don't get me wrong, this may indeed be a disease or syndrome. But reporting like this does nothing to help reach a considered, objective or sane decision.
$150.00 (US I assume) for black instead of white? This can't be the entire story... please tell me it's not. When I bought my Canon EOS150D digital camera, it was only available in silver; the black wasn't available until a later release. I can understand this delayed release, but I really cannot understand (or justify to myself) an extra 150.00 for the colour... weird
Most anti-depressants have really, really bad side affects
I'd love to see substantiation for that claim. It is true that "older-style" drugs had very bad side-effects in many patients, but I've seen no studies concluding that "modern" SSRIs or other modern pharmaceutical treatments have serious side effects in the majority of people. "Serotonin Syndrome" (a possible side effect of SSRI treatment) is by anybodies definition serious, but is usually brought on by drug interactions (incl. "speed", LSD, MAOI anti-depressants etc).
prozac is by far the best, but it seems to muffle several higher brain functions.
Again, I'd love to be proven ignorant and see your substantiatian for this claim... point me to a study.
One of my dearest friends was medicated with Zoloft (at twice my dosage, which is ridiculous) for OCD and depression; needless to say, her liver has been annihilated
I sympathise with your friend but, again, this does not prove anything...
Even after a year of having stopped taking Zoloft, she maintains an acute weakness to food poisoning and alcohol
I am not a doctor, but I would say the anybody with liver damage should avoid alcohol... again, this doesn't prove much except her liver is damaged and needs nurturing.
Watching her try and quit Zoloft was like watching a train wreck. I've heard similar things with other forms of depression medication, but Prozac and Zoloft are the only ones I've been medicated with, and rather heavily
Yes, this is obvious; The body "adjusts" (homeostatis) to the "new body state (with the drugs)" and compensates. When the drug is ceased, the homeostasis effects will still occur and the body will over-compensate, expecting it's normal does of the drug.. this is not unique to anti-depressants.
While I can certainly empathise with those suffering depression (I've been on medication for years) I cannot help but wondering whether the positive benefits of any treatment could be attributed to the placebo effect. I am not saying this out of any disrespect or lack of understanding for the plight of the depressed but, rather, because I know that (for me) depression can be helped just by someone caring. By giving a treatment - any kind of treatment - there is an implied sense of care. Therefore, a reasonable hypothesis may be that any "treatment" may be effective.
There are obviously people around who do not respond to any kind of treatment, and I sincerely hope that this new treatment can help them find some relief.
But if you can find a way to remember them (ex: 94FE5spd - 94 Ford Exploer 5spd) or if you must write them down
Yep, I couldn't agree with you more. I do this, and I am sure many others do this, just as I would hazard a guess that many more don't do this and choose a secure password and write it down somewhere.:-)
I would expect that if passwords are required to be changed on a regular basis, then that would be more reason to write them down (if they're secure they're probably harder to remember). In this case it would seem that less-regular changing would be beneficial, resulting in less passwords being scribbled on pieces of paper and left around on the desk, or in the bin.
Unfortunately, those added software libraries differ among Linux distributors, making it hard to know if an application like a word processor will function on a particular Linux computer.
What a load of rubbish...
When I read a comment like this, I have to question a) the qualifications of the article author; and/or b) their motives. Any assertions made in the article need to be critically examined and their validity questioned after such false hoohah.

From the article: (Brilliant)... has studied under a Hindu guru in a monastery at the foothills of the Himalayas
Anybody who can study with a guru sitting on them has my respect

The researchers were surprised to learn the 3m long...
3 metres is rather small isn't it? How big was T. rex ?
