War On Drugs Clock The U.S. federal government spent over $19 billion dollars in 2003 on the War on Drugs, at a rate of about $600 per second. The budget has since been increased by over a billion dollars.

As to the suicide question, of fucking course people should be allowed to kill themselves. I'm all for public suicide booths, where highly paid public servants will dispose of your body after providing you with the means and location to off yourself. That's DEFINITELY a positive for society. People getting to check out when they feel like they should, instead of going on to be a drain on society as they stop contributing. As to paying for drug treatment, I promise paying for drug treatment is cheaper than paying for the crime and punishment that results from the current system.

Because there hasn't been an example of an enlightened leader in quite some time.

Is there any way the state can stop that?

I hope you got a good deal on that toshiba, since hddvd is all but dead...

No idea, I don't use it.

I had both, and don't have rs1s anymore

2 apple airport extreme cards p/n MA688Z/B so I can upgrade my core duo macbook and mac mini to 802.11N for happier storage and video sharing action.

Yup, can't help it, I like their stuff. http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/

If you're looking for bit perfect optical output, I can still recommend the apple airport express. It's bit perfect even with windows. There's software to let you direct any audio to it, or you can use itunes.

Is a bmw 5 series the same thing as a mini cooper?

I think it's generally safe to say that if you think it's a reasonable solution to homebrew a solution in computing, the equivalent apple isn't targetted at you. The elegance of MacOS changes that math somewhat, as it's the best unix implementation for user workstations, so it's gotten more widespread, but that doesn't change the fact that iTunes, apple servers, storage solutions, wireless routers, etc aren't aimed at people who enjoy spending their time tweaking how * works. Apples work. You plug them in, you do whatever configuration you feel is appropriate for you, and then you put them away. That makes me the target market, because honestly, I don't want to spend my home computing time doing that. I don't even spend my work computing time doing that anymore. Lots of people don't fit that mold, and apple makes some nods at trying to be the right thing for those people, but for the most part, they're not. It's ok, apple's not insulting you, or their customers. It's just a computer. Or an ipod. Or a network disk.

I'd guess it's in customs limbo, and you'll get it eventually.

For that matter you could get the airport extreme and plug in whatever drive you want. This is just a one box solution that apple will support all the parts, for people who don't want to mess with multiple vendors etc.

I like my m3. AD743 or 843 (not sure which), 4 inputs, cinemag transformers, 4 channel dact, FPE 4mm front panel, and THL knobs, and 4 gain settings. No bass boost. Sigma 11 power supply. Weighs a little more than my car. Cost a little more than my car.

802.11n is a big advantage. 54mb/sec is REALLY slow for drive access. Even 802.11N is slow for drive access tho. I have trouble explaining to people at work why their writes over 4gb/sec links are slow

I'm sure that's true of ray's amps. They'd work fine in space.

I don't think he does long distance business anymore, now that phish isn't touring. But I'll ask him.

I have a friend in your neighborhood who has something that'd do the trick better than vodka or heroin And 90% chance you'd still be ok 30 minutes later when you were done.

That's easy, your judgement is suspect. You'll do much more good by providing an example to the other 15 yr old elitists.

sorry 2 duets. Thanks voltron, pm coming.

Lead by example, end yourself.

That'd rock mike. I'll pm with my address. You'll have to do needledrops once you have the phonostage Now then, who wants to send me a pico for the head to head?

I have bids in on 2 picos duets and a rosetta. I am still tempted by the pico tho. Someone send me a duet and a pico. I'll send it back in a couple weeks. I can send out the cambridge dv89...
