    I agree. I will pay more for a competitor than to give AT&T any money at all.

    Well, I will gladly take your word for it. I take Subutex currently for a reason not pertaining to opiate addiction. However, I am not putting anything in my arm.

    Right, you are not supposedt o take the bupe until in withdrawal from an opiate. I thought the purpose of the Naloxone was to prevent the abusers from getting high on the bupe. You are correct that it is in fact the buprenorphine that will take you to precipitated withdrawal. With Subutex, the abusers will just inject that. With Suboxone, when you dissolve it sublingually, the Naloxone molecule will not penetrate through to the bloodstream in your mouth. I thought the Naloxone would just counter the effect of the Buprenorphine to prevent them from getting any high.

    Also, not sure it is still this way, but doctors were only allowed 15 patients on bupe. That to me is proof that the Gov. doesn't want people getting off dope. If not exactly a miracle drug, it is light years better than methadone, if used properly to step down and get off of opiates.

    The generic version of Subutex is available, but the doctors don't like to prescribe because it can be abused. I don't believe there is a generic form of Suboxone. Suboxone is given to addicts because it is mixed with Naloxone. Naloxone is an antagonist and blocks or reverses the effects of opioids. Get a generic version of that to market and get rid of methadone. Methadone is worse than heroin. As hard or harder to kick. They can just manage your addiction with it better. I don't believe they want people getting off of opiates. They just want to manage your addiction.

    I might be wrong about the generic form of Suboxone, but I have not heard of it on the market yet. Only Subutex.

    Just like last time? No! Way worse than last time. Yes the gangs in Chicago and New York were ruthless and all that, but they didn't leave heads on stakes to prove a point. The level of violence has exceeded prohibition by such a large amount that it is almost criminal for our government to either sit by and do nothing, or to continue prohibition. Especially when much of this is about pot for crying out loud. I mean really? Let the people get stoned if they want. What the fuck is the problem? You let them get drunk!

    Right, except have you ever called Oracle support? Had a sev 1 recently. We have 24x7x4 hr call back. Did I get a call back after 4 hours? no. 6 hours? no. 8 hours? no. It was 3 days later we actually got a manager to have a meeting with us to figure out why we can't get support for our hardware. Go ahead, get rid of your staff. Depend on Oracle to help you. That's a great idea. I assure you, you will not regret it.

    Can't they just use a 256GB flash chip and then overwrite the cells to reach 2 TB. Then have some sort of recovery software built in that will read the previously overwritten data when you need it? If the DOD requires 8x overwriting to "erase" data then certainly they can use that to their advantage... right? :)

    Honestly, isn't Charlie right about prostitution? We are really paying them to go away. Not for sex... We all understand the work involved to get a girl, but often that requires language that would have them believe you want them around. So getting them to leave after sex is no easy task. Especially if you wish to have more than one encounter with the same female. So, prostitution is no crime, the woman is perfectly capable of making her own decisions. Sex-trafficking and exploiting run-aways is another matter all-together.
