  1. He doesn't buy pirated stuff and it wasn't mising a DVD. I think he said it was a "2.0", but it had all but those last two episodes, which apparently come with "2.5". I thought it was strange, because I have only one DVD title to choose from here in the UK.
  2. Super-condensed version: Cannabinoids are used by the brain to fight stress (cortisol); unlearn bad memories, relax muscles, and encourage eating. Long term effects might include damamge to memories.
  3. The abridged version: Chemically speaking, we are all potheads. ... Numerous experiments with genetically altered mice and rats have shown that when natural brain compounds, called endocannabinoids, are missing or their receptors are blocked, the animals are more susceptible to pain, cannot control their appetites, have trouble handling anxiety and are less able to cope with stress. By fully understanding and then harnessing the endocannabinoid mechanisms, researchers are eager to devise new ways to reduce pain, calm anxiety, fight obesity, stop nicotine addiction and even treat traumatic shock and Parkinson's disease-without the unwanted side effects of smoking marijuana. ... To be precise, endocannabinoids do not mimic the effects of marijuana. It is the drug, derived from the hemp plant, that approximates the brain's endocannabinoid chemistry. ... CB1 receptors are not everywhere in the brain
  4. I meant reboot before you start the game. It would be good to see if you get the same symptoms from a clean start ... you could also take a look at what services the work computer is loading on startup, too, as they may be doing odd things (and chewing up resources).
  5. Actually, the policy is to help prevent people from starting to smoke; younger people are very sensitive to price, so by increasing the price of a packet of cigarettes, the government is effectively dissuading the younglings from starting. How it spends that tax revenue is a whole other ball of wax.
  6. I'm a libertarian; the less power any third party has over my life the better. clickie
  7. Cool, I'll look out for that; it's rare indeed to have a good villain.
  8. Has it happened more than once? At the same place? Did you reboot before you started? There might have been an application running in the background (or that left a vestige after closing) that clobbered NwN2.
  9. It's got all the episodes (up to and including part 2 of Lay Down Your Burdens) and all the deleted scenes (a whole DVD of them why not put them in situ, rather than on their own?)... not sure what the terminology for it is; I know my mate in Australia bought "2.0" and it didn't have the lat two episodes! So, if that doesn't answer your question, I'll take a guess and say "2.5". :D
  10. Aha! So you are a (secret) Trekker! You even considered running for office with "Live long and prosper" as your catch-phrase, didn't you?
  11. Well, I bought the two DVD sets to watch ... and I've watched them twice, so I guess I like them. :D I really hated the miniseries, though.
  12. So you would be negatively predisposed to a "Trekker Party" in parliament? " They're just exercising control over a limited set (i.e. in this case the ST universe) to counteract their feelings of inadequacy elsewhere ...
  13. You must have Air Superiority.
  14. Well, more a re-heating, I should think. :D
  15. * casts summon Jorian *
  16. I think (if I may be so bold) Wals is more observing the failure to complete the job; sure the Taliban were ousted (the USSR took the enemy flag within hours of their attack of Afghanistan), but the lack of infrastructure is hampering the prosperity of peace.
  17. Yeah, I've only seen the first two series, so most of this thread I have been looking at through my fingers ...
  18. We are unanimous in that. Mind you, I think the Coalition needs a bit of Walsingham Policy Insight©® to aid in that fight, too: buy up all the poppy crops for the next ten years and help the farmers change to another crop, instead.
  19. http://politicalhumor.about.com/ Shields up Mr. Chekov! Klingons in the White House, Trekkies in the Congress. God help us. What is the hand basket we're in and where are we going? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Of course he could have been referring to the ancient, pre-civilized Vulcans ... perhaps the common ancestor of Romulan-Vulcans ..? /nerd
  20. *fails save vs flamebait* You do realize there is a war and manhunt going on in Afghanistan right? How is that "ignoring" him? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> *save vs flamebait: critical fail* What he meant to say was that those Afghans don't really want peace, because they have a different culture.
  21. Variable timer?
