    The fact Stress can exacerbate MS and weaken her can play into suffering of the woman but even as an MS sufferer myself I agree with a lot of other posts. Just have MultiSoc doesn't keep you from court battles if you've done something which calls you into one.

  4. Re:Privilege not a Right on U.S. Airport Screeners Are Watching What You Read · · Score: 1

    Isn't there something about not impeding the ability to move freely about the country? While yes you're NOT forced to fly a drive from Cleveland to L.A. is quite impractical especially if you must do it every week.

  7. Re:Seriously, how stupid do you have to be... on TV Torrents — When Piracy Is Easier Than Purchase · · Score: 1

    Didn't someone say the same thing about the bush administration after 9/11? To just give him what he wants he knows what he's doing?

    If they don't like the business model they don't HAVE to follow it, they can TRY to compete, in the end it will be fruitless but we'll have, what we call, competition.

    If you fucking beat this prick long enough, he'll tell you he started the goddamn Chicago fire, now that don't necessarily make it fucking so!

  12. As Slipknot said on Eavesdropping Helpful Against Terrorist Plot [UPDATED] · · Score: 1

    Whole country's on house arrest And everyone's a suspect...

    Also, it broke up a GERMAN attack... How does dropping in on AMERICAN communication help?

  13. Not just WoW players on 'Make Love, Not Warcraft' Episode Wins An Emmy · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I know a lot of other MMO players who got a kick out of watching it and laughing at WoW players or ourselves seeing a bit of ourselves in the WoW universe

    An iPod with a phone? That will never sell! Now give me a phone with an iPod and we'll talk

  17. So reaction is mixed on Retro Studios Stepping Back From Metroid For A Bit · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They where mad that they had to redo things but other things worked better than they thought? I'd rather them take a break and come back to make an even better game

  18. Re:All of these lawsuits... on Variety Says Class Action May Stop RIAA Suits · · Score: 5, Funny

    I thought you where going to say "forget the Artist" which the RIAA already did

  20. Re:Slashdot = News for Political Activists on The White House Crowd Control Manual · · Score: 1

    I see this questions on every story that's NOT a techie story. I think it's even on the story about the release of D&D 4th Ed...

  21. Re:Bah, Easy I say! on Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition Announced · · Score: 1

    Right...
    In my day, we had to get up at 6am three hours before we went to bed so we could start to imagine these stone tablets on to which you'd get the rules to roll marbels! To us the stone tablets where sci-fi

  22. Re:Sick and Tired on DNA Vaccine May Treat Multiple Sclerosis · · Score: 1

    I can only speak of Rebif. But I get a sick sense of sticking it to the man when I see the amount my insurance "saved me"... I know it's some back room deal, but I'd like to think there's some bean counter screaming each month as they eat the cost... Screwing Insurance and Big Pharm in one trip... At least I'd like to think so, even if it isn't true

  23. Sick and Tired on DNA Vaccine May Treat Multiple Sclerosis · · Score: 1

    I every time someone claims to of found a "cure" for MS I shutter. I know it's far too lucrative for big pharm to lose. When a single monthly box of my injections cost over 2 grand? I mean, let's be honest with ourselves kiddies. I'm not expecting a cure anytime soon and neither should you. This is modern day snake oil because they bank on us being such a hopeless lot. We're given about 50 years, the knowledge that we're just going to get WORSE and then told how much our meds cost. Any glimmer of hope seems good until you become cynical. Diagnosed 2004

  24. Re:"News For Nerds" indeed. on Karl Rove Resigning Aug 31 · · Score: 1

    I shouldn't feed the troll but here it goes

    There are more nerds than just TECH nerds. Believe it or not poli sci nerds exist and they read /. too! So, this would fall under thier radar for news for nerds and stuff that matters. If you don't like it so much sign in and adjust your settings so you don't get the politics news.
