Oh snaps, I think I might have played that once (loooong time ago though). Did it have a bunch of little green MFDs that you could customize on the fly?

emerge gaussrifle; emerge heatsinks

Insufficient disk space for mech-utils/heatsinks

Dammit!

It might encourage ad people to have their ads not be obnoxious pieces of crap.

Probably not, but I can hope.

What's being ruined here? Tylenol is still legal. Opiates are still legal (with prescription of course). They just have to be separate.

But not yet anyways, note that the FDA is CONSIDERING this. And its their freaking job to look at stuff like this, if something is killing people (yes, even if they are a STUPID ASS they don't deserve to die) they should look at the risks versus rewards.

Alcohol is oxidized during metabolism (by NAD+), and the ADH active site doesn't have any sulfur containing residues. Dunno about acetaminophen though.

Married?

Hmph.

I love it when people read a bit of a chemistry book and then pretend to understand ocean acid-base equilibria.

It's actually a stimulus plan:
1) It blocks powerpoint.
2) US business sees an unprecedented increase in output.
3) So then our economy goes up and we can buy more stuff from them!

and uhhh

4) ??
5) Profit!!

Really pretty devious if you ask me.

I'm a bit confused on how this would actually WORK. Blocking sites is one thing, just have a url blacklist. But say one game on steam is rated but another is not, how can it know which one youre downloading?

Can packet sniffing tell that much about whats going through the tubes? I thought it was mostly: "Thats P2P, thats http, thats some more http..." Even if it could, what kind of overhead are we talking about?

Not the vast majority, they're pretty close to japan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_public_debt#Foreign_ownership

Hmm, a bit clunky now, but I would imagine it could be WTFBBQ for scientific literature searches. Scifinder makes babies cry.

Even if everyone is artsy fartsy, I'm surprised that there are that many people without laptops. I thought that technology was for art people too these days.

Maybe suggest a nice little netbook next time someone asks?

No numbers, but heres a picture:

I'm in the exact same boat, and I would like to quit killing trees to read articles...but the LCD hurts my eyes!

Heck, I might be willing to pay 900 bucks for the DR-1000 if it had decent reviews, but as you mentioned they are very mixed.

I know lots and lots of academics who would pay the same.
