First, "iWATCH"? Really? Apples lawyers are going to be all over this.

Second, âoeThe majority of citizens want to do whatâ(TM)s right,â? "Wanting to do what's right" is usually the exact opposite of "Doing what's right."

And third, this sounds like an excellent way of getting back at those annoying neighbos. There are so many suspicious activities that they're bound to engage in a least one or two of them. Nothing like seeing them "evicted" by a SWAT team someday.

I don't like injections either, but I sure as hell got my tetanus shot after I stood on a rusty nail.

A tetanus shot usually doesn't leave permanent neurological damage. Having a hole drilled into your skull and bits of brain tissue removed for a biopsy will.

Then again, you might not notice the difference.

How the hell can a doctor prescribe SSRI without measuring the actual levels first?

Most patients would object to a brain biopsy.

And even doing one would give very little insight into the actual dynamic processes inside the synaptic clefts. It's not a simple issue of "there's too little serotonin in your system", but rather a "there's too little serotonin within the synaptic cleft for the sensitivity and number of receptors to reliably cause an action potential in the receiving cell when required" ...

I'm using IARs IDE. However, starting with version 5.50 (EWARM) it seems to have an issue drawing its GUI elements which, over time, leads to interesting screen corruption and an eventual crash to the desktop (running under XP, when running under W7 the screen corruption doesn't happen, but the crash eventually occurs, too). Version 5.42a was still fine.

However, I'm stuck with it, so that's what I'm using.

Anyone else having CTD issues with IARs IDE?

People with 15 years of "experience" on their resume would regularly fail or give up.

I'm curious ... can you elaborate on how exactly they fail?

Do their attempts just have stupid bugs or is the whole approach wrong?

I'd probably fail at "printing". Only writing code for devices without any human-targetted outputs does that to you. :P

Let's all show human CONCERN for REVERAND MOON's legal difficulties!!
