Qsymia and Belviq work by suppressing appetite and by increasing metabolism, and by other mechanisms that are not yet fully understood

shucks, ive no idea, either that or because someone is paying someone else more for something else

This is exactly why it's the only government in the world I'd trust to obey the law.

fucking american spies

If nobody passes the test, then it seems to me that the problem is with the test, not the people. What are they going to do? Close the university? The test isn't the goal, selecting students for admission is the goal.

We need to drop our standards and make everything in life easier so more people can pass through with out trying?

If you actually read the article, you'd know what they're going to do.

Bullshit, I did around 26 countries (started to lose track) across 4 continents last year alone and the most invasive country I visited was Bosnia, the second most invasive country was the USA, all the others were amazing.

Sure America has freedoms to do some stuff you can't else where (like own an assault rifle) but if owning an assault rifle is actually the most important thing in the world to you, you're doing it wrong.

Note. Australian drinking laws are pretty shit

You realise that a lot of websites require advertising revenue in order to function. Where do you think the hosting fees and journalist salaries come from?

You didn't just 'actually stop drinking' you got pancreatitis, which then motivated you to stop, your 2 step program is missing a couple.

Alcohol abuse is so socially acceptable most people don't even recognise it as abuse and it can take a massive upheaval of your social life to simply "stop drinking", as well as taking time to spot patterns of behaviour and triggers and then change them.

I do dislike the AA though, they say that if you stop drinking, you're just a dry drunk, so in their eyes even of 10 years sobriety you're still branded as an alcoholic, you still have to announce that you're an alcoholic, and that just reinforces the idea that you're weak, that you may slip up and that you need AA meetings to get by.

I got locked out of my flat the other day, in just my dressing gown, with out my keys or my mobile phone. Thanks to 1password the only password I actually know is the one to my Webmail. I was able to go to my neighbours, check Webmail, get the contact number of my friend who has my key out of my contacts, then ring him.

Unfortunately he didn't answer so I had to spend £80 on a locksmith, but hey.. it almost worked!

As someone that runs a website, without CAPTCHAs I'd be fucked.

There are bots that can automatically register on a site, then check the email account for the activation link, in order to start spamming, so that's not a solution.

The newer 'flash games' e.g. 'out of 5 objects, put the drinks in the cooler' are an interesting solution, but that probably still won't work for people with accessibility issues.

Moderation can work on sites like slashdot, but on lower traffic sites not so much, and the signal to noise ratio will be awful.

If Australia pass this and actually clamp down on 'offenders' it will do more harm than good as the only recourse webmasters will have is to not allow people to register/interact with the site as the cost of cleaning up spam will be too high.
