Ok, I thought there was a Linux Mint thread around here made by Demo; but I went back about 7 pages and couldnt find it. Anyway, I *finally* installed it and got it to work. I had an issue at first getting the bios to see the hard drive; as it is USB connected, and tends to not show up in the boot choices. I have to first go in and reset the bios's USB entry to "Hard Drive", since it resets to "Auto" each time and I cant find how to make "Hard Drive" the default. Once I set it to Hard Drive, save and exit; then I have to bring up my boot menu. Now the drive shows up, and I can boot to it. I'm using Linux Mint 13 "Maya" MATE. So far, I *LIKE* it. A lot. Of course I have to reboot to play games, but even when I only used Windows I had to reboot to play games; so, nothing lost/nothing gained on that issue. At any rate, now that I'm using it, I may be havening some questionatin' to do with for ya, specially Demo.  Like, how do I h4xx0r hotmail in Linux??

The Stand (slight return) by Stephen King... "...researchers have been able to mutate the H5N1 strain of avian influenza so that it can be transmitted easily through the air in coughs and sneezes. ... Dutch scientists carried out the controversial research to discover how easy it was to genetically mutate H5N1 into a highly infectious "airborne" strain of human flu. They believe that the knowledge gained will be vital for the development of new vaccines and drugs."

Medical Marijuana Laws Reduce Traffic DeathsScienceDaily (Nov. 29, 2011) — A groundbreaking new study shows that laws legalizing medical marijuana have resulted in a nearly nine percent drop in traffic deaths and a five percent reduction in beer sales. "Although we make no policy recommendations, it certainly appears as though medical marijuana laws are making our highways safer," Rees said.

Entire Computer Built Into USB Thumb DrivePC enables what its inventor calls "any-screen computing": the ability to turn any TV, laptop, phone, tablet, or set-top box into a dumb terminal for its Android-powered operating system. Packed in its tiny body is a dual-core 1.2-GHz Samsung Exynos ARM CPU (the same processor as in the Galaxy S II), 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, HDMI-out and even a microSD card slot for memory. The Cotton Candy has a USB 2.0 connector on one end and an HDMI jack on the other. When connected to an HDTV, it uses the HDMI-out port for video, the USB for power, and Bluetooth to connect to a keyboard, mouse, or tablet for controlling the operating system.

Mowmow the cat came running full speed into the studio room, hooking a claw in the carpet to make a sharp, fast right-handpaw turn.
Disappearing behind a cabinet with a short "Mow!", he crept up to the opposite corner and peeked out from behind it. I blinked at him; a
cat sign meaning "Yay!" or "awesome!" or "Its all good" or just a general, positive acknowledgement of his presence. He responded by
trotting out from behind the cabinet with his tail straight up and hopping up onto my lap. As I was petting him, the thought crossed my
mind that I should give him his meds now. AS SOON AS I thought that, he stiffened, crouched, and looked me in the eye, pupils growing huge.
I tried to pretend I hadn't thought of his meds, but he wasn't buying it. He wanted to get down, and NOW. When he hopped to the floor, he
ran straight to the doorway and stopped, looking back at me. He seemed to be studying me from this safe distance. I called to him and moved
towards him, and he made his decision - RUN! He took off.
I must mention at this point that he *never* runs from me. Never has. These meds, though, apparently taste unspeakably horrible. This is
the first time he's ever actually ran from me; once he tasted the foul concoction I was forcibly squirting in his mouth.
What just amazes me though is how he, quite literally, read my mind. All was perfectly fine until I thought about his meds; and BAM! He
was onto me and my nefarious intentions, and intent on GTFOutta there. Non-human creatures just fickin' amaze me; constantly.

Suspected domestic abusers go free as Topeka city, county officials bicker over funds " Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor announced that a 10 percent budget cut to his office in 2012 meant he would no longer be prosecuting any of the city's misdemeanors, effective immediately. Topeka city council members say they can't afford the estimated $800,000 yearly cost of prosecuting those misdemeanors and jailing offenders--and that they want the county to continue carrying out misdemeanor prosecutions as it has for the past 25 years. The county continues to insist that the jurisdiction for these prosecutions should shift to city prosecutors, but the Topeka City Council says that none of the city's five attorneys has any recent experience prosecuting domestic violence cases.
Next week, the council will vote on a measure that will strip domestic battery from a list of crimes that are illegal in the city. The vote is a tactical bid to force the county to take those cases on again." Just wow. They are decriminalizing domestic abuse because they are out of money; but potheads will still be tried and incarcerated. I guess the idea is it's ok to beat your spouse to a pulp, but woe is the one who tokes up. Just wow. " According to James Anderson at the Topeka Police Department, city authorities have arrested 20 people on suspicion of misdemeanor domestic battery since Sept. 8. Anderson said he doesn't know how many were charged, but Shawnee County court data suggests that all of the suspected offenders were released and not charged. One man was arrested twice over the month, both times on suspected domestic battery, and released both times."

Judge: Americans do not have right to choose food" "There is no 'deeply rooted' historical tradition of unfettered access to foods of all kinds," states the document signed by U.S. Attorney Stephanie Rose, assistant Martha Fagg and Roger Gural, trial attorney for the U.S. Department of Justice.
"Plaintiffs' assertion of a 'fundamental right to their own bodily and physical health, which includes what foods they do and do not choose to consume for themselves and their families' is similarly unavailing because plaintiffs do not have a fundamental right to obtain any food they wish," the government has argued." Interesting. Your thoughts?

http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/08/10/afghanistan.seals.chopper/index.html?hpt=hp_bn2 I call BULLSHIT. Give me a break. They couldnt find and kill Bin Laden for 10 years; but they somehow could find the "same militants" that downed the Shithook and kill them, like two days later. The "same" guys. Riiiiiight. What blatant propaganda. The fact that this even ran in any "news" media demonstrates how utterly stupid the majority of people are; and that the pols and news people know that.

http://www.newsdaily.com/stories/tre76k7q2-us-animal-human/"Scientific experiments that insert human genes or cells into animals need new rules to ensure they are ethically acceptable and do not lead to the creation of "monsters," a group of leading British researchers said on Friday... ... Chinese scientists have already introduced human stem cells into goat fetuses and U.S. researchers have studied the idea of creating a mouse with human brain cells -- though they have not actually done so."
