Not to seem like a science denier but this is crap. If you did science...detail the purpose of the study, the methodology used, the controls, the detailed results and the peer review that duplicated or contradicted the results. And what they mean. Also reveal who commissioned the study and who put up the money. Then it's science. Until these conditions have been met it's simply advancing and agenda. So fuck off. And on the other hand...on a non scientific take...thousands of years of use and no one noticed anything wrong until Harry J. Anslinger came along to start the ball rolling. Again. Fuck Off.

Well done cement head. Here's a thought though. Maybe there would be less of the tragedies you site if there weren't so many who think like you. Because each and everyone of the perpetrators of those acts believes themselves to be morally correct. Just like you. Now off to your football match old boy. There's fun to be had. Oh and I just wouldn't be happy if I didn't ask....what's that you're typing away on?

Well I think we're an ocean apart and that's unfortunate because I'd love to give you the chance to "beat the crap out of me". I suspect that it might not go so well for you. Unless you produce a weapon like all cowards do. It's true I am a g33k, a "Loserboy nerd" but like all those with a functioning brain I realize that it's mind AND body (I list them in that order on purpose and I'm explaining that because I fear the subtly would be lost on you) . But that's a different discussion. If you had two brain cells to rub together you'd realize that it's much more effective, and lasting, to defeat an oppressive authority from the inside by reason and "reverse subversion" rather than by violence. I won't bother explaining why. You either understand that or you don't. But that would mean thinking and reasoning and planning further ahead than "what's for dinner tonight?" I know how that tires and strains minds like yours. Rant away cement head but try and understand you're only helping the "oppressors" argument and re-enforcing their resolve that the brutish and criminal downloading rabble must be contained and punished. I look forward to your next inane reply.

I despise the "copyright industry's" greed and corruption and everyone who sides with "them". But you're fucking crazy and dangerous and should spend some quality time in a psych ward. You're talking about firebombing, killing and torturing people because they won't they don't want to let you download a T.V show? What the hell is wrong with you? Get help.

Tim Berners-Lee Is Sorry About the Slashes 620

Stony Stevenson writes "A light has been shone on one of the great mysteries of the internet. What is the point of the two forward slashes that sit directly in front of the 'www' in every internet website address? The answer, according to Tim Berners-Lee, who had an important role in the creation of the web, is that there isn't one. Berners-Lee revisited that design decision during a recent talk with Paul Mohr of the NY Times when Mohr asked if he would do any differently, given the chance. 'Look at all the paper and trees, he said, that could have been saved if people had not had to write or type out those slashes on paper over the years — not to mention the human labor and time spent typing those two keystrokes countless millions of times in browser address boxes.'"
