Which is good to hear, because currently it is one of a handful of states where ordering spores is illegal.

Any time I see that some of my results have been culled on Google due to DMCA, I usually pop over to Bing and find what I am looking for.

I read about this man when the story first broke and found it extremely fascinating. I can relate to wanting to be alone and living an isolated existence. I love being in nature, away from the world and have often thought about pursuing such an existence permanently. But I just cannot comprehend his methods. Move to Alaska. Learn to hunt. Carve out a place for yourself somewhere. What he did tells me he was just insane - live near people and steal. To put it bluntly, this is fucking nuts.

I'm going on 8 months now and I don't miss it at all. My real life interactions have been so much more rewarding, too.

I love that I have been able to send in a few things to get repaired over the years. They encourage it and make it so easy to do. I have memories connected to that stuff - being in the Weminuche Wilderness above the tree line and my down jacket making the difference between a somewhat uncomfortable night and total misery. Their stuff is made well and has been good to me.

I've programmed VB3 to VB6 and then when .NET arrived, I unfortunately had to do a few large apps in VB.NET. Let this fucking dog die. There's nothing worthwhile in this language. MS originally was not planning on bringing the retardedness in VB into .NET (I had access to pre-releases of it and message boards where VB.NET was being discussed). A bunch of whiny cunts who no longer matter in the world of programming at all, bitched and moaned about the poor VB programmers who would be soooo confused, that MS conceded to their demands.

If you're curious here's some stuff I did a few years ago using it:

The interest thing about this app is that it allows you to pull material from almost anywhere and make it sonically interesting. The first track I made was sourced from 2 seconds of Love is a Battlefield and a few seconds from an anti-depressant commercial. The fun part of this app is trying to turn the most mundane sounds into something interesting.

No, queues. You gotta wait in line just like everyone else.
