98% of teenagers do or have tried pot. If you're part
of the 2% who hasn't, put this somewhere for the world to see.

In other news, Microsoft has released XP Pro x64 Edition RC1 (release canidate one), the 64-bit version of Windows.  It runs on AMD's 64-bit platform, and while memory hungry, runs quite well (and more stable, suprizingly enough).  Slashdot pointed to a ZDNet report.

Intel's fallen behind.

Despite Microsoft's reputation of unstable software, especially with it's Windows line of operating systems, they are making improvements and each release of Windows is arguably more stable than its predecessor; Windows XP, Windows 2000, etc.

They still have a long way to go, however...

That particular statistic is way off - it's more like twenty to fifty percent, depending on the area.

In my area it's probably closer to 80%, and there's some pretty heavy usage of drugs here. (Dealers grow their own shrooms here. Some find the natural growths.)

I have done none of it. Never had the money to spare for experimentation. I don't even drink alcohol.

ME puts a damper on that record of Windows getting better with each generation.

I've never drank more than a shot, never smoked, or done any drugs. The only 'shrooms I eat would be either the grocery kind, or shittake. I somehow doubt that statistic is all that accurate, it seems uber-high, no pun intended. I be clean, HA!

I did pot maybe five or six times in my life. Last time was 8 or 9 years ago and I've not had a 'jones' for a 'hit' since then, or at any time since I first tried it. If it was there I'd have a toke, if it wasn't then it wasn't, I didn't much care either way. Marijuana is not the deadly drug-problem it's hyped-up to be.

I've known only a few who have taken drugs, who looked quite normal.

I've also know of several old news reports in which they were able to take the addictive qualities of cannibis out and create actual benificial drugs from it. Why the US goverment can't see that, when countries Africa can...

Making a plant illegal is just plain silly.

[xaviusarchangel.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've always found it silly myself. Silly is the perfect word to sum it all up: it's perfectly legal to own a castor plant, from which one of the most deadly natural toxins in the world, ricin, can be extruded relatively easily and kill a person with the smallest amounts in a most painful and terrible way...

... and yet owning a plant that makes colors more vibrant and makes you giggle at everything if you smoke it with land you in jail.

BTW: Linux builds run great with an AMD64 ^_^

*tries to look innocent*

[strredwolf.livejournal.com]

What would you expect? AMD gave folks the full specs and helped GCC optimize the bejezus out of everything.

Yet another reason why I'm using AMD now instead of Intel I guess
