Doing that is pretty stupid.

I didn't say you said you did either; i just said that it was another cop-out.

Blaming the inventors is also a cop-out, so it doesn't much matter; especially since the drug has helped so many people in severe pain.

Yep.

Sounds like blaming the drug to me.

I believe that a marriage grants that right and a civil union does not.

Worst poll options ever. I'm on a university LAN with an OC-3 backbone connection; I get speeds comparable to a T2 most of the time.

Blamng society is even more of a cop-out than blaming the drug.

Well in principle it's possible for a small amount of time. If some sort of ultradense shield was invented that was capable of shielding the small massive particles like neutrinos, then a perfect vacuum could exist for a short time. Only a short time because particles continually are created and destroyed due to vacuum flucuations.

Heroin was invented by Bayer (the aspirin people), go complain to them. ...and also go explain to people in countries beside the US who are in excruciating physical pain beyond your imagination why the only drug that helps their pain is the most evil substance on Earth. Heroin addiction is not the drugs fault, its the way people choose to use it. There are currently 5 times as many non-addicted heroin users as addicted users, and contrary to what some people think, there is no physical addiction after the first time it's used. If people choose to begin a pattern of use that leads to addiction, its their own fault even if done at an unconscious level. As harsh (and contrary to the emotionally based wrong opinion that its the drugs fault that people will defend to the death because they're too emotionally biased) as it is, the truth is that it's the addicts own fault; don't blame the drug. As far as helping the addicts, some treatment programs like methadone maintainence have around a 50% success rate, and programs involving gradually reducing dosage of heroin (and substituting and reducing with other opiates such as morphine) are also successful.

But even at the time of the giant radios, small mobile phones weren't in opposition to the laws of physics at the time.

do you have the sigma aldrich catalog? if so, whats the number to order out of the catalog? i can't find it on their website... and I can't order online because i'm not a real research company, but they told me i could order over the phone.

and tack on $20 to catalog prices for hazmat shipping (in addition to the 10-20 regular shipping)

Well I haven't posted any stories in a while because nothing particularly interesting has happened... But driving back from Ft. Lauderdale on I-95 last weekend, this Dodge Stealth pulls up next to me while I'm doing 85, and then pulls away. It's on now beotch@! We race all the way back to Miami, hitting 135mph going down a pretty steep bridge in the HOV lane. It was pretty much even and was more of a race to see who had the best judgement in how to get around the rest of the traffic (there wasn't too much traffic, because this was at 4:30am).

It's a civil rights issue; "separate-but-equal" policies are inherently unequal.

I'll defer answering on how the Star Trek warp drive is supposed to work to Sayo, I'm sure he knows his way around the ST Technical Manual better than I.

Nuclear power plant nearby maybe?

Warp drives don't work with conventional propulsion; with conventional propulsion it's impossible; but the warp drive works by warping space-time; it is within the realm of possibility. The most unfeasible technology in the series is the transporter. The transporters in ST are said to actually transport matter, not just information about that matter. Disassembling matter and reassembling it in the exact same state is ridiculous. For a good discussion of all the Star Trek technology, read this book.

Warp drives are said to travel (much) faster than light (it's an exponential scale)... Inertial dampeners are actually more plausible than a warp drive, because they only involve generating a gravitational field opposite to the reaction force.

That's just another method of keeping cretins from getting higher scores

Dizzy blonde pop star-turned-reality TV queen Jessica Simpson was so convinced she was pregnant after she reading she was expecting in America's gossip magazines, she insisted on a check-up. The singer admits she fell for the rumors about herself after gossips mistook her longing for a pet dog as a strong hint she was about to become a mum. She says, "I think I said I wanted a dog and people thought I wanted a baby. I began to believe the rumors because I was very very sick. I ended up going to the doctor and being hooked up to an IV. I wasn't pregnant." Since there was a new reply I was reading all the way through this thread and just got reminded to share this hilarious news story posted on IMDb.com

I know you hate brief answers... but "both"

..what chemicals are you looking for. there's different acquisition methods for different chemicals.

I took the PM links off, happy now?

A banned user cannot access the site at all until they figure out how to delete their user name from their computer; if they figure that out (or are particularly malicious users), their IP address is banned from reregistering. So while the PM link is there, they would never actually see a PM. Most banned users registered with a fake email address, so you couldn't contact them that way either. There's some more information about banning the FAQ.
