Based on TFA, it doesn't sound like it would be a one time treatment. It would probably require on-going medication to keep the stress hormone at bay. If this ever pans out to be a viable treatment, it would provide a steady revenue stream to the manufacturer.

First of all, it is referred to as "ANH", not "SH" Second of all, how can you rank "RotJ" above "ANH?" WTF?

> Ruby and Rails were never able to prove themselves as being solutions to real problems. People soon got fed up with them, and went back to proven technologies. Methinks you are talking out of your ass. Aside from Twitter (which still uses RoR AFAIK for some things), please provide other examples to backup your flame bait.

If LaHood thinks a passenger talking on a cellphone is distracting to a driver, then isn't a driver talking to a passenger just as, or even more, distracting? I say let's ban all driver communication, both intra and extra vehicular. This will of course require a redesign of all cars, perhaps a driver "cockpit" like a commercial airplane.

Are the English classes hard at Princeton too?

If you can pretend that the technology for time travel actually exists in the distant future, then can't you pretend that the the technology for a communication device would be vastly different and not need cell-phone towers?

Did anybody else read it initially as "the now perverted replacement language for C." besides me?

I thought that was odd when I read it too. When I googled "Akara and Buddhist", I don't see any references to support that piece of information (other than a link to TFA).

Interesting article, but how the hell did you mess up your summary? ("being Sauron.") Are you applying for a job as a /. editor?

I have an ever better tool for this type of usage scenario. It's called a textbook.

I'm a lefty also and I've never had an issue adapting to various game controllers. When you start from a point where neither hand has been trained yet, you just naturally build up muscle memory/skill in each hand for the given task. I always use my right hand for my mouse. When I've sat at somebody's desk who has it on the left side, I'll move the mouse to the right side, otherwise it will take me twice as long to do tasks involving the mouse. When I play baseball, I have no problem catching with my right hand - I don't have to think about it. If I borrow a glove from a right handed thrower, I have a difficult time catching and feel very uncoordinated - I've just never practiced that way.

I was going to suggest Barbara Billinsley apply for a job, but you beat me to it.

This is the same old story, and it is a very old story indeed. I've been reading a lot of Civil War history lately, especially about the political and economic factors leading up to the war. As the north was industrializing, many craftsmen and factory workers were making the exact same complaints about the factory owners and bankers who were making all the money but had no "skills" to actually create the textiles, weapons, furniture, etc. Things haven't changed that much in the last 160 years.

I guess I know which tablet I'll be taking into the bathroom.
