I am pretty sure that possession of.0001 of a gram of cocaine is really not a offense that law enforcement is going waste their time/money/efforts on. Do you really think every police car is going to have a $100,000 laboratory in it?
And if every big farm switched to organic farming methods, half the world would starve - organic farms produce much less volume of food compared to large scale farms. Studies are coming out now concluding that organic foods, while they may taste better, are not any more significantly "healthier" or nutritious than foods that use chemical pesticides.
The problem is also that the food experts cannot decide on the criteria that makes one food "healthier" than another.
No, you are misunderstanding. Saying a bill is "positive" for cocaine residue does not mean it was actively used to snort cocaine. The particles are so fine that if say you have one bill in your wallet that was used for snorting cocaine that the particles could transfer to the rest of your bills. Same for the counting machines at banks. Once one bill with residue on it passes through the machine, it can affect all the other bills that are counted on the same machine after it. The study I read about it indicated that most of the bills marked as "positive" was due to the testing equipment itself having micro fine particles of residue on the testing equipment itself.
My father used to work for a power company and what he did was buy and sell electricity to and from Canada. In the summer when Canada is cool and the US is hot, he would buy the surplus electricity for Canada cheaper than we could produce it here. Then in the winter when Canada's demand was higher, he would sell surplus US electricity for less than it would cost Canada to produce it. The customers have fixed prices, but the utilities companies certainly don't.
How is a naturally grown potato less "natural" than meat fish or eggs?
The truth about people's food opinions are like people's opinions on global warming - there really isn't enough empirical evidence to prove anything beyond any doubt. Even the "experts" all disagree and have wildly different theories. This year it is fat that is bad for you, next year it is carbs, next year it is red meat, next year refined sugar, etc.
If something works for you or makes you feel better, great. But it may not work the same for someone else, or you could also be experiencing a placebo effect because you think you are "eating better". (I also think a percentage of people probably have undiagnosed mild food allergies that may make them feel bad after eating certain foods.)
Why do you think a hard drive in a USB enclosure is more secure than a USB flash drive? As far as the system knows, they are exactly the same thing. If size is what you are worried about, it is practically as trivial to walk off with an external hard drive as it is to walk off with a flash drive.
Yes, free speech does sometimes mean you have to put up with people acting like douches. Freedom of speech is a double edged sword - you have to make all speech free, even if it is vile, disgusting, ignorant speech - because odds are someone else thinks what you say is vile, disgusting and ignorant. Supporting "Free Speech Zones" means you also support "Restricted Speech Zones" which should not exist in the US. (With the obvious exceptions of the shouting "fire" in the theater, yelling "bomb" at the airport, etc.) But no political speech should ever be silenced.
And I know someone who died that wasn't on pot, so according to your logic if I spoke pot I won't die. Brilliant, and you can't even blame being high for your own stupidity!
Funny how that in all the recorded history before guns, there wasn't a single murder! You must be right!
I have been a gun owner for about 12 years and have never shot at a living creature with my guns at any time. Could you possibly open up your closed mind a little to actually include the possibility that some people like to target shoot with their guns, or own them for protection hoping that they will never need to use them, but would rather have something and not need it that need something and not have it? The only gun control I am in favor of is holding it with both hands. And I am a liberal in one of the bluest states around before you start making incorrect stereotypical statements.

Yes but without the "D" the "R" isn't very valuable - it is just a nice thought.
That actually sounds awesome. Starcraft but with Zombies vs. Pirate vs. Ninjas. I would buy that game.

Apparently by adding zombies.
You have to put the coins in the proper coin slot. The really talented strippers can even dispense change for you.

The rich are getting richer , and the poor are getting drunk. I plan to stop it by getting drunker.

I think they mean if you eat the product while in virtual reality, it is "fat free".
I still have my original somewhere and yep, that is stated right on the card. Funny thing is, that is the ONLY use for SSN that I have ever seen.

They are free as in Freedom of Information Act but not free as in beer.
Who is Pete Townshend
Come on, tell me, who are you?
Oh, who the fuck are you?
No, I got it. But I was thinking a lot of people wouldn't get the reference, so I answered anyways.
Just watch Kevin Smith's "Clerks" for the citation you are looking for.
The technical term is "jizz mopper". Show some respect!

Schneier uses Linux and cannot be trusted. This is all that needs to be said, the entire article is invalid.
I am not an AC so that must validate the statement??
Now, just try to schedule the time where every citizen in the US can attend simultaneously to vote. I am free next Tuesday if that helps.
Former Governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura may disagree with you.
I think the real question is - Are you so detached from humor that showing questionable material wouldn't be amusing to you?
P.S. "retarded" is offensive to call someone who really isn't a retard. Making fun of retards is pretty puerile. How dare you sir!
