linkydink "Crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) are anti-choice "clinics" that promise free pregnancy tests and counseling, but deliver wildly inaccurate information about the emotional and physical risks of abortion to the women who visit them. Largely marketed to the poor and the young, CPCs pretend to be bona fide medical centers, complete with staff in white uniforms, but are rarely staffed by trained personnel."

linkydink "In late June, a chemical engineer from the University of Delaware filed a patent that described a new generation of microchips. The patent proposes to replace silicon -- which has long served as the basis for microchips -- with another material. And what might this mystery component be? Chicken feathers."

linkydink In my post grad existence, which is not currently filled with anything other than [more] classes several times a week, sporadic trips to the gym, and being lonely, missing my tower room and it's grand central station quality.... I have now hit a new level, though at least this one should be cause for some great amount of amusement. I have tickets to go see naked men on a stage playing with their genitals.

linkydink This is definently the weirdest piece of spam I've ever recived. "Hello, If you are a Time Traveler from Dimension D1263GT10, year 2008 or Dimension D2044GT5, year 2432 and or in possession of the Dimensional Warp Generator wrist watch, the Carbon Copy Replica model #52 4350 series or similar technology I need your help! My entire life and health has been messed with by evil beings! I simply need the safest method of transferring my consciousness or returning to my younger self with my current mind/memory. I need an advanced time traveler to work with who can help me, I'd would prefer someone with access to teleportation as well as a variety different types of time travel. This is not a joke! I am serious! Please send a separate email to me at: Robbyyy1@aol.com if you can help! Thanks uQm21tY3qVkpFclZOQ== Below is the result of your feedback form. It was submitted by (cokeefe@concentric.net) on Tuesday, July 23, 2002 at 08:49:13 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- x: i" Is this a movie refrence or something?

linkydink Smoke Pot, Stay Outta Jail. Cute, smart, and I suppose still relevant to previous discussion.

linkydink kangaroo: The link your friend sent you is spot-on. However, since I only use commercial software on the job, I'm not particularly concerned that these companies are willing to aim a nuclear missile at their feet. Open-source software, like the Internet, interprets attempts at censorship as damage and routes around it.

linkydink oh, if anyone else is interested, I'll definently be going to see dave brubeck at summerstage tommorow night. if anyone else would like to go, and wants to meet up drop me a note before noonish tommorow.
|
linkydink To clarify- everybody's afraid to get busted, but few people seem to think it could ever happen to them, leading to a certain nonchalance about it among the people I've met. This is partly beacuse most of them live in pretty isolated areas- a cabin in the middle of backwoods vermont, or big old houses in backcountry suburbs. on another note, what does anyone know about palladium? This link was sent to me by a freind and I've seen this site before so I know little about it's accuracy or well-roundedness.

linkydink hmm. Perhaps my presentation was a bit misleading - I thought the article did a good job of pretending to be balanced, while making the case for legalization quite effectively. At least partially, that was due to using quotes like the one I used, which made the con position look completely unreasonable - "obey because it's the law". So yeah, I agree, the arrest statistics make an excellent case for legalization. And having actually met a number of otherwise fairly mundane people who smoke pot, I can attest that many of them really are that scared about being outed. And with good reason - if the cops take a dislike to you, they can make your life hell.

linkydink It's sort of hard to take the article seriously, since so much of it was worded like something out of reefer madness. Most of the adults I've met who smoke pot on a semi-regular basis aren't particularly frightened or secretive about it. and to me the arrest statistics are more a case for the legalazation or marijuana then evidence of some horrific suburban problem.

linkydink Pot smokers who contend that smoking a joint is the same as having a couple of drinks are wrong, said Dr. Daniel Valentine, director of substance abuse services at Sharp Vista Pacifica in San Diego. The reason? Marijuana is illegal. Alcohol isn't. Whether or not you agree with the law, "you're giving the message to your children that illegal drug use is OK," Valentine said. Not often I see quite that explicit a version of the "obey authority because it is authority" dogma. Not a great stretch to "Activists who contend that Jewish people are the same as the rest of us are wrong".

linkydink So I went to H2K2 last weekend, and boy did it suck. I've been to every one since the beginning, and every time I've come away more dissatisifed than last. If DefCon turns out to be a bust, I may swear off conferences all-together and instead, pay special attention to my projects while others are busy wanking off.

linkydink I confess to reading entire acts of Shakespeare's "Julius Ceasar" as sexual innuendo. I laugh 'til I cry, and then I laugh some more.
|
linkydink i confess to reading the silly sex parts of the Cave Bear series aloud in a breathy voice, to the amusement of whichever of my friends are present. the real news, though, is that i've made a website for toby's thesis project: The GenderQueer Monologues. there's now a forms version up, too, so all you lazy bastards don't even have to copy the text into an email. go fill it out.

linkydink dkp: Not that I stay up late reading smut, but Nerve.com does seem to have an unusually high concentration of actual intelligent and funny things to say about sex, or about sex and Abercrombie & Fitch, or about sex and The Clan Of The Cave Bear. Go figure.

linkydink A sweeping blade of flashing steel riveted from the massiveThe Eye Of Argon by Jim Theis. Worst sci-fi ever. (via redbeard)

linkydink jimmy: I don't have a link to complement yours, but I just wanted to say how amazingly funny that was. Much better than any Harper's Index from which it stole it's format.

linkydink '"9-11 resembled cheap, lazy fiction," says horror author Neil Gaiman, whose slim volume Coraline is already being called the scariest novel of the year, "and because it did, it made it strange for writers to decide what is valid artistically."'

linkydink I have been on many family vacations in that general area, but I am not sure how much the things I've seen would appeal to you. I remember a great deal of caves, the worlds largest undersgound lake, train museums, art museums, and even once the fabulous museum of zippo lighters. Corning NY, is actually not a bad place to visit, they've got a huge pollstar is a decent site for finding concerts in various cites along the way- a make a habit of checking it out before long drives to visit my assorted relatives in upstate NY. If I remember anything else I'll post it, when are you thinking of leaving?

linkydink "The unsolicited Prozac arrived in a hand-addressed manila envelope. It came from a Walgreens drugstore not far from here, and there was a "Dear Patient" form letter inside. " -any thoughts on this?

linkydink The Technology Secrets of Cocaine Inc. 'According to former and current DEA, military, and State Department officials, the cartel had assembled a database that contained both the office and residential telephone numbers of U.S. diplomats and agents based in Colombia, along with the entire call log for the phone company in Cali, which was leaked by employees of the utility. The mainframe was loaded with custom-written data-mining software. It cross-referenced the Cali phone exchange's traffic with the phone numbers of American personnel and Colombian intelligence and law enforcement officials. The computer was essentially conducting a perpetual internal mole-hunt of the cartel's organizational chart. "They could correlate phone numbers, personalities, locations -- any way you want to cut it," says the former director of a law enforcement agency. "Santacruz could see if any of his lieutenants were spilling the beans."'

linkydink In high school and college, I was a total fag fucker (not always literally—think star fucker). Many of my crushes were on boys who fucked boys or boys who wanted to fuck boys. No surprise: Lots of dykes and fags are attracted to each other before they come out; we are drawn to one another by what we assume is desire, but it's really the connection of being queer, which is buried or still unknown to us.
