There are a couple of things to learn from this stoner-statement. You make it sound like pot being less harmful than alcohol is a good reason to make it legal. This is wrong. It simply makes it being illegal more ridiculous. Even if it were worse than heroin, that would be even more of a reason to make it legal. The only way to stop somebody from doing dangerous drugs (not weed) is to explain the risks in an honest way. Consider the following: Heroin is illegal. However, it is not that hard to get it. I can easily obtain heroin. I've heard heroin feels really really really really good. I have considered using heroin at some point. However, I did some research about heroin first. Turns out every heroin addict I've spoken to told me to stay away from it! I haven't done heroin yet and I'm not really considering doing it any longer. Properly informed people really are smart enough to make the decision of consuming or not consuming heroin for themselves. Pro-war-on-drugs people will argue that people will still be using drugs once you make it legal. That is correct, but the damage done by the criminality that surrounds it at this point is simply much worse. For instance, more people die from using meth- or 4-MPA-contaminated ecstacy pills than actual MDMA victims. Most heroin users die from overdose (not knowing the percentage of heroin in the powder they purchaised). If the government controls the supply of drugs (not private lobyist corporations like with McDonnalds/tobacco/alcohol/weapons who try to get young people hooked on dirt/sigarettes/breezers/guns) it can save so much effort. And education is key. Education is NOT telling kids that a single dose of MDMA can cause Parkinson disease or that 1 joint equals 20 sigarettes. This causes people to lose faith in the government, potentially making them think that it's all lies and that drugs are harmless.

It is a map of people who are OFFICIALLY without guns.

YES, if ARM at 40nm is just as efficient as x86 at 32nm, then ARM is probably the better one. Also, Intel had the $$$ to optimize their implementation and the very best they can come up with is LESS GOOD than cheap a ARM processor? Now imagine the same amount of research money being used to further improve on ARM. Maybe the results won't be to impressive since ARM is efficient BY DESIGN (like Linux). No need for dirty hacks that introduce BUGS. Still, a 32nm ARM chip will blow Intel away.

What's wrong with everybody these days? Fucking morons. SlashDot is turning into MTV Cribs! Why go through all that trouble of making 6 very interesting points if you could've just written the following: I have money, I am able to give my kid an iPad and he already owns an iPhone, now what I'm sayin yaw? I'm a good parent, I want my kid to be playing around with educational software so he can become smart like me. I like the look size weight whatever I KNOW whats best for MY kid. Why buy cheaper or buy NOTHING and give some money to the poor?! Loser! I can WIN buying a useless crap electronic device built by people in inhuman conditions for next to nothing, never really learn my kid anything and that will be thrown away in 3 years, polluting the environment. I don't care I'm not rich but I'm still richer than most people so I will keep serving the super rich. I also like to watch television, it confirms that I'm doing the right thing :)
