I am intrigued by your mathematics

seriously, it's time
Libel/slander laws do not limit speech. They can only be applied after the fact. So you can be held responsible for what you say or write, but you cannot be restrained from saying it in the first place.
This doesn't make sense. Laws forbid you to utter slanderous statements. Other laws forbid you to utter "fire" in a theatre. In both cases, I can commit the offense. So either slander laws *do* limit speech or the "don't shout fire in a theatre" does *not* limit free speech. Which is it?
The point is that either you have reasonable basic liberties, or you don't. If you think an adult ought to be able to decide what they will or will not ingest, then how do you get from there to the authorities stepping into that decision using coercion? If you don't think an adult ought to be able to make those decisions for themselves, then I can't have a meaningful conversation with you.
I think you mean an adult can ingest anything he wants so long as it does not harm
others (suppose I ingest substance A and B which together form a powerful explosive,
right beside YOU. Do I have the right to ingest A and B. I think not).
Now, we should have a *meaningful* discussion of whether **some** drugs are such
that there consumption harms others to a sufficient degree to warrant prohibiting their
ingestion.
I think it is completely obvious that marijuana poses no such risk; not so sure
about crack cocaine (and, from another angle, potential cognitive enhancers,
steroids for athletes etc.)
system requirements for inkling
Windows 7, Vista or XP (SP3, 32 or 64 bit versions),
Mac OS 10.5+ (and Intel Processor)
I didn't spend very long looking either

" IPS display" - you can make up fantasy machines that compete
with mac air, but the x1 carbon does NOT have IPS display (as
the thinkpad forums abundantly demonstrate)
You point is intriguing. How many "hole years" are in a century?

there are two papers: the Van-Gheem et.al. paper you cite and then there is the
one the slashdot article is about, which is:
Use of laptop computers connected to internet through Wi-Fi decreases human sperm motility and increases sperm DNA fragmentation. by Avendaño C, Mata A, Sanchez Sarmiento CA, Doncel GF.
The authors are the Argentineans which the linked article mentions.
It's (to be) published in Fertility and Sterility.
So I basically don't know what you're going on about
I think this must be the most obtuse
comment I've ever seen on slashdot
(which is saying a lot).
so you really think this 900 km tunnel
exists, do you?
It is thinking such as that exhibited here -- at least judging by how it is
expressed -- which is more the problem than the solution.
That's a compromise I can't live without.
so what does that mean exactly?
The MoFos represented Novell in the SCO suit.
And between them and Boise and Co dragged
it out for about 7 years and perhaps 40
million dollars of legal fees
