You already pay for police to seek out and arrest drug users, courts to prosecute them, jails to hold them, and parole officers to keep track of them once they are out. Treatment costs a hell of a lot less than that. Sometimes being pragmat

You do adapt to travel as well, though. Seeing a new thing every day eventually does become "normal."

Good stuff. He shouldn't feel too bad though, because he is giving them feedback on what at least one customer wants, which could easily be what many customers want, and help them succeed in the long run.

Correct. He'd start to get so horny that he couldn't focus, so he'd have to masturbate (which was a small relief) or have sex, which was a great relief, and gave him weeks of productive work.

That's ok :) My reading wishlist grows a lot faster than I read books, so unless that changes, I'll clearly never be able to read all the books I want to. Just the way things are.

You must be mistaken. The Matrix didn't have any sequels.

I'm fairly sure it's still legal, at least in Utah. I know people who do it on a semi-regular basis.

We don't know, but it wouldn't surprise me if the early adopter crowd has a lot of overlap with the twitter crowd. That said, I don't think it's worth trying to estimate sales that way

And since they are the ones who enact laws, good luck getting them to pass something like that.

Can you elaborate on what you mean? Are you referring to "the game" as in Neil Strauss (women), or something more akin to The Wire (making money in dirty ways) Edit: 3rd option, and almost certainly right, is that Diplomacy is a game, which

"And let's face it - have you seen many top management who look grubby? Being well-groomed seems to be an essential attribute of leadership." As a matter of fact, I've seen multiple CEO's that looked a bit grubby. It's not unheard of, but I

And yet by doing so, he sells the video. Unless we see another article pop up in the next few days "selling the video," I think we have to assume this was it.

I wonder what all is in there. Definitely not just the stack article, because that is nowhere near 144 pages.

Ya that is true, ff they know what they're getting themselves into, I don't feel bad for them. If I had to guess, though, I'd say that the majority probably don't.

Not everyone researches the DRM in their games before purchasing. Some people just buy the box at Best Buy. Seems unfair to expect everyone to know these things ahead of time... shouldn't you be able to just buy a box at Best Buy, and right

Some, yes, but all from over 100 years ago. The contemporary scientific opinion is very much against this "fact." http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/01/frog.html

For instance, the fact that you can boil a frog, by slow heating up the water its standing in (used as an example in the article) is most likely wrong: http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/01/frog.html . Not technically a meso-fact, as it t

Right. You could say that. That said, I'm sure that feels a little ridiculous to you. That money can be a treadmill, though, is as old as time. Haven't you seen A Christmas Carol? Scrooge and Marley made money like bandits.

While I agree that the American political "liberal" says much more than that, it's still similar. Hence the phrase "bleeding heart liberal."

There are people working on it... whether or not they will succeed, I can't say, but considering that fake WoW servers exist, I'm guessing they'll pull it off eventually.
