TFA says all 58 returns directed money be deposited into one of the guy's bank accounts. Derp

They're the same thing, but hashish is a dangerous form of "mare-i-joo-ana" that is highly potent; one "hit" of that stuff can leave you high for days and often leads to murderous rages and psychotic episodes. All this shit was official documented decades ago - didn't you learn anything in school? =p

My thoughts exactly. It sucks having to bold-faced lie about my marijuana use for fear of being branded or otherwise discriminated against.

Off topic - I hate the idea of corporations winnowing their pool of prospective employees by using psychological tests. I can't even land a minimum-wage job at Blockbuster without lying about how much "I love being in big crowds." =/

Will Google be checking artist/song names and reporting you to the RIAA if your songs are pirated?

If a "hacker" reads this, please explain what it is that "Anonymous" intends to accomplish by releasing the private info of Czech gov't officials publicly. It seems stupid.

These acts will most likely provoke paranoia and promote web censorship. How is this furthering the agenda that "Anonymous" supposedly has? Is "Anonymous" just a few script kiddies stupid enough to risk imprisonment over a misguided sense of morality?

Or maybe I'm missing the point. Please enlighten me.

Thanks for the response and for giving your input from your college experience! I would enjoy being a part of a conversation at GeekDad, although I have not visited that site before. Can you give a URL for the particular discussion you mentioned?

It's debatable whether or not perfect pitch is a blessing or a curse. The Western tuning system (I can't speak for other tuning systems found in different cultures) is not perfect and in fact requires unconscious ear training before the music "makes sense." Ever listen to traditional Chinese music? It can sound pretty alien because our ears are not accustomed to their different method of slicing up an octave.

I read a great book in high school (given to me by my music teacher) called, "Temperament" and it detailed the history of how the piano came to its current form. It's quite interesting to see the weird pianos that were invented before its current incarnation was finalized (along with our tuning system).

Fascinatingly enough, early musicians had big problems while tuning pianos (or precursors to the piano, such as the harpsichord). They initially started with an absolute note (such as C) and tuned subsequent notes perfectly in harmony to this starting note. The result was that any piece in C sounded wonderful, but if the musician were to try to modulate or transpose the piece to an alternate key, the tones did not resonate very well and sounded like "howling wolves." After much struggle and experimentation, the final system that was decided upon (and is still in use in Western tuning today) is a system where an octave is equidistantly sliced into twelve parts. Because of this slight compromise in pitch (that is, the fifths, fourths, and octaves are no longer "perfect"), world-class singers and classical instrument players can purportedly have difficulty staying in tune with a piano.

My whole digression is to make the point that individuals with perfect pitch might notice all the little tuning inconsistencies that most people automatically and unconsciously adjust to the nearest expected pitch. I can't imagine being bothered by every little out of tune pitch I ever heard... not to mention I would probably get speeding tickets -- "Officer, I know I was doing 80 in a 65 zone, but my fifth gear RPM is exactly A 440 at 80 MPH and, well, I can't stand it when my transmission is flat."

I had forgotten he was Mormon. Isn't that considerably weirder than your average flavor of Christianity? 99% of what I know of Mormonism is from South Park.

Well, it's in the name our national defense... so anything goes. What a slippery slope.

... more government intervention involving suppression of information.

piss me off.

the period goes inside the quotes. nice try

Gastrointestinal surgery is a way too specific example in your metaphor. Anybody who can figure out how to download, install, and use a P2P client like bittorrent will already know what OS they're running (and henceforth which installer to use).
