But now she is going bankrupt, and for something that 99 % of the internet using world has done at one point or another, that same 99% having the luxury of not ending up a test case with an bottomless amount of legal resources arrayed against them.

Poor woman.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_F._Hamilton I read The neutron alchemist and one other I can't remember the name of right now. Check your library, although with 1000+ page books you might want to get the paperback anyway if you like his style.

The PTA are really bad at the PR game. A bunch of reporters call them up asking for a funny quote about about the president swatting a fly, and they play right into their own negative stereotype. Don't they have real battles to fight.

The Samsung I had kept crashing, also the touch pad operation was horrible, many many times worse than actual buttons. I liked the folder navigation though.

Ahh... 'bad' drugs, and 'good drugs'. Such nonsense, given that chance, cultural preference and prejudice rather than any objective criteria determine what gets the official stamp of approval and what doesn't. You might as well have said you intended to shoot the first bartender or supermarket cashier you met.

I never actually tried LSD, but they sold shrooms where I bought hash in ye olde days when I was interested in that sortof thing. I spent what must have been a half hour staring into a wall which appeared to be melting. I would never touch anything that I could overdose on, I guess that practically makes me a virgin, at least among my more adventurous friends.

It's easy to exaggerate the effects of various hallucinogenics. The survival instinct is so deep in our source code it doesn't just disappear from one moment to the next. Hendrix was suffering from mild psychosis though, brought on by excessive cocaine and speed use. He had assaulted a number of female fans for no apparent reason.

Italian authorities have not yet determined whether they are real or fake

One thing that annoyed me about Creative is the lack of folder navigation. Rather than just sticking your music folders on the player, you had to neatly arrange everything according to album and artist meta data. Can't complain about the sound though. With mp3 players the sound quality depends to a large extend on the capacity of the power supply, the 'mini' players should be avoided for this reason.

My Creative player just died on me, or rather I accidentally stepped on it. Next one I'm going to get is a Hacha, Chinese made, open source. Ogg. and Flac. compatible, able to play common video formats, not that I care about that, well priced too, and a power supply capable of sustaining propper headphones, not those horrid ear plugs.

10/10 on my oral exam. I rock.

Written exams are the pits. They still force us to write, you know manually with a pen - no spellchecker. I mean, Jesus, who does that anymore. I have to revise what I write several times before it makes even an ounce of sense.

Now that's what I want to have power my laptop. Whats the use of a netbook with a 4hr battery life.

Edit : Nevermind.

I find it impossible to find a decent alarm clock these days. They all break or start losing minutes, the one on my crappy old cell though, that works flawlessly.

Depends on the subject. Not everything can be digested in a few days. Don't believe me, try reading 50 pages of japanese literature and remembering all the kanji. I gotta have that squared away by tomorrow, feeling kinda, sorta confident about the exam.

in actuality, you are incapable of making any legitimate argument that is not otherwise considered a logical fallacy (informal or otherwise). this one, btw, could a slippery slope, or a strawman (red herring in general). tell me, gorgon, do you have ANY argument? ANY evidence to counter my claim? thought not. you typify exactly what marx wanted: an uneducated populace. taks I would like to see something to indicate that a monopoly cannot exist without government, other than a circular argument. 'Because otherwise we would have seen evidence of it'. Come on man, that's weak.

Come on man.

So, in summary, because nothing can exist without government, everything is governments fault.

It as pretty funny. About what I expected, but hardly comedy gold.

Really ? It's the Ohh yeah, rock on.

I dunno if that's possible, probably not since Dalekeeper references the animation sets for race gender and class which you can apply to your character, and if the sets themselves have been changed...

The cops are certainly corrupt, but I'd wager they do their job unless paid not to. This is surely a high profile case for them now and they can't sit still on it.

Well, their juvenile conceptions of respect obviously need some work. It's more like dogs asserting dominance, leaving him essentially only two choices: A. cower and wiggle his tail, B: stand up for himself and take a beating. Option C, leaving without cowering, is not allowed.
