hmm, lots of addiction threads today

Apparently I wasn't clear enough, because I agree 100% with you. What I'm trying to say is, you take somebody without much self control and make herb readily available and they will continue to smoke. They don't need/crave in the sense that people who are physically addicted do, but the end...

hmm, lots of addiction threads today

If I had to explain it, I'd say once you've smoked for a while you become indoctrinated into the culture. Personally, I'm addicted to the process. The ritual if you will. Roll it up and pass it around. The high is just an after-effect. I smoke almost daily at school, but every summer when I come...

I got $100 that I want to spend ASAP!

Save it. Save your next one too. Go read a bunch of books on Trading and Technical Analysis of the financial markets. Save it until you've got a grand put away. Then blow it all on commissions. Then read Trading in the Zone by Mark Douglas. Save up again, and blow it again. Get a job. By the...

Painting a Rubik's Cube

Make sure you clean the surface of all sticky residue. Head to your local hardware store and pick up some spray cans of Krylon Fusion (it's designed to adhere to plastic without any primers). In all honesty it's probably cheaper and easier to just find a quality cube instead of DIYing.

Your favorite sources of comedy?

So basically I'm looking to devote like an hour or two a day to comedy and "mainstream" culture. (My parents raised me without a TV). Who are your favorite comedians? Classic Movies? Favorite radio personalities? TV series? Help me get up to date and out of geekdom :D

Government unveils world's fastest computer

haha yea... but then again, it's not like they'd finance these monsters for solving pertinent world issues - and scientists with good intent do get access to (segregated parts) of the machines. personally what i find scarier is that in this day in age, some oppressed nutcase with money could...

Anyone have experience with CUDA?

I haven't written any CUDA code, but I just took a Computer Architecture course and talked with my professor after class about GPGPU because it fascinated me too. The problem is, C code (or any code, for that matter) when written for a CPU is designed to run in either a linear (if this then...

Compiz Fusion

I'm not at all familiar with Mandriva, but I do know these are all plug-in based. Many of these effects are stable, and just as many aren't (or just haven't seen much testing time). It's very possible that you need to install another package that provides all the less-than-proven effect...
