The history of marijuana prohibition is very well-established at this point, and there is little dispute as to the main players in the prohibition fight. It very much centers around the efforts of William Randolph Hearst and his fear of hemp dominance of the paper industry, as well as the efforts of the Dow family to…

The issue is that decisions, especially legal decisions, shouldn't be made on baseless "Opinions." They should be based on FACTS, and those facts can only be ascertained with meaningful data. The [Talkingdrugs.org] page you originally posted was not based in any factual event, police record, or news story. Even on the…

As Joey23art says, Apple purchased NeXT and Nextstep in the 90's. Nextstep was updated and became Mac OSX. In some form, many of us are STILL using it.

Courier was an advanced tablet prototype that showed amazing promise. They got a lot of people, including me, stirred up about it a few years back, only to cancel it once it looked a little too awesome. There is apparently a lot of Courier's tech in Winmo 8.

Isn't that kind of what they did with their tablet? or would that be considered an android-based BB OS?

Actually, it's been proven that keeping prostitution illegal, and thus under the radar, provides a much greater opportunity for exploitation as well as an increase in issues with disease and other ailments, due to the fact that in prostitution-friendly areas, regulations require STD testing, condoms, and many other…

Sorry if I'm killing your troll, but , the first one's obvious propaganda, and the second one is a form link for some company trying to sell me addiction services.

Please explain how it is not victimless, and who the victims are. It doesn't cause cancer, and links to "Possible psychological effects" or whatever are weak and tenuous at best.

Looking it up, I do see that it was more of an issue in the older cars. However, it wasn't one incident, there were at least 5... and Tesla didn't pay for the majority of them. It looked to me when I read the story that they weren't managing power properly in the vehicle when it was off.

And that's when I noticed that she was actually....The LOCH NESS MONSTER... And I said God dammit you Loch Ness Monster, I ain't givin you no tree-fitty!

Love Teslas but they're not perfect. If you don't take care of them just right, you're left with a 50,000 dollar paperweight in the battery compartment.... Hell, even if you plug it in, but don't have it jacked directly into high current, you'll brick it in a week!

My phone charger gets hotter than hell sometimes.

For music, it's far less than that, somewhere between 1% and 5%.

X-Wing Vs. Tie Fighter: Balance of Power was amazing too... and I could personally go for an updated X-Wing: Alliance. It was fun to be an Azzameen.

But they did... They just didn't feel it was as awesome as everyone seems to say it is.

Won't there just be a market for cheap USB 3.0/Thunderbolt optical drives and ethernet interfaces? If I had an external burner (or could find the one I used to own), I wouldn't even miss the one in my MBP. I've used the ethernet port once or twice, but not enough that I wouldn't have been served just as well with a…

40 on two DAYS of cigarettes? even at...what, 10/pack out there in NY? Your lungs must be destroyed...

Is it legal to do an extensive pat-down search on someone at a traffic stop like that, then have them x-rayed and strip searched? Never mind the fact that he was smuggling - unless this story omits something, there's no legal way that cop should have been able to figure it out.

The flash on the iPhone is usually useless- when you're close enough for it to work, it usually washes out the subject anyway... However, I don't see how using a flash where its effects are pointless can ruin a photograph, just someone else's photographs.

I'm not really sure why I'm arguing with someone whose knowledge of history resides somewhere between tenuous and nonexistent, but as it stands, things were far more complicated than the entire non-euro/american world being savages killing each other. Going back many hundreds of years ago - while the Euros were…
