Illegal drugs can be harmless, report says

"Illegal drugs can be "harmless" and should no longer be "demonised", a wide-ranging two-year study concluded today."

Personal responsibility is all but nil these days. Moderation is key, it's quite simple, just remember to know your limits. Same as with anything, it's ok to eat fast food once in a while, but the reason you're the size of a cow is due to a lack of moderation and self-control with the lowest quality of food out there. Drinking excessively until you puke is your body's way of saying "stop fucking poisoning me."

A Guide to OS X Web Browsers

Safari is too featureless for me, it's just a little bit too simple, but the speed is a good tradeoff. You can't even save to anywhere but the desktop. I'm currently using Firefox on a 400MHz G3 and it doesn't take 15 seconds to start up, it's not as fast as Safari or Windows Firefox, but it's not as bad as he describes. I used to swear by Flock, then Opera, now I stick with Firefox and Safari, since having 4 web browsers in my dock was a bit too much.

Live for Windows pricing revealed Pt. 2

When I submitted this, there were no details on how Live for Windows allowed online play with Silver.

So apparently Live for Windows is aimed at Xbox 360 gamers who already have a Gold account, but they're not playing these games on Vista, they're playing them on 360, so I don't understand the logic to this. Paying for Gold as a PC gamer apparently only nets you achievements, which seems like a stupid thing to have to pay for, since it's just an irrelevant number (I say this as someone with a gamerscore of more than 10k).

I can't see Live for Windows going anywhere, there's no reason to get it as a PC gamer and one of the main draws of a 360 is the ability to play PC games on a console for a lower price, so why would 360 gamers go for this?

The City of Metronome NEEDS to be picked up, it's easily more interesting than 99% of the generic, boring shooters out there. Get bent, Tom Clancy.
