I just got an econo-boner. I have a big rant to write about the purpose of money and the use of a universally accepted good to facilitate trade, but I need bed now. I'll comment on it later.

The server change? It was their choice. They were using one company, called The9, to host the game for a couple years now, but they moved to another company. I forget the name at the moment, but this new company is already hosting battle.net, and it's working on handling the massive server overload that is going to be…

The wow servers have been down for a whole month now here in China. Blizzard is changing contracts to a new Chinese server company to consolidate all of its online games to one Chinese company. It hasn't affect me, as I've been too busy to really play games this month, but I feel bad for all the poor gold farmers who need…

Freakonomics is so much more than a bunch of random statistics hinting at causality. Their theses are very well written and leave very little room for error. They don't pick two random statistics and compare them, rather they pull mountains of data from every possible angle to make their arguments as close to airtight as…

Well, as long as I'm at it... Adam and Tanya, Ou Hou is in town today for a job interview. We're going to go get dinner tonight. Edit: For everyone else, I'm meeting up with an old classmate from my days in Japan. He's an awesome guy, so awesome that it made Adam forget what gender Ou Hou was.

My boss is encouraging us in marketing to develop a golf game, as it is quite important in the world of business. There is a driving range less than a 10 minute walk from the office. Our department just got a membership there, and our boss left some of his golf clubs here at the office for us to use. So now on slow…

If you're filling your head with cotton balls through your ears, then that may be why your head hurts.

Exactly. And at the same time the government can't just treat it as a cash cow; at least not right away while the black market drug infrastructure (marijuana farms, established transportation channels, etc) remains. If a pack of marijuana goes for, and I'm wildly guessing here, $10 bucks, and drug dealers can get you the…

This wasn't a funny thing at school; this happened on Saturday when I was out at an electronics store. I wandered over to the video game section and saw some young kids playing a Gears of War demo. The kid who was playing kicked down a door, only to find it filled with hanging, decaying carcasses. The kid's friend screamed…

I think we may have a long time ago, but I don't know where it is, and I'm too lazy to look.

That book sounds awesome. Speaking of books, I just finished rereading Freakonomics. I highly recommend this book, even if you aren't an economics buff. It asks very odd, yet sometimes relevant questions and answers them using statistical data. Questions include: -Why do most drug dealers live with their parents? -What do…

I agree with Adam on this point, many people like that were probably not destined for greatness anyway. I don't think it was marijuana that made them retarded, they were going to be retarded anyway and marijuana just provided them the way to it. I've known people who smoked and turned out okay. South Park said it best,…

Sounds good to me... but I was not blessed with singing talent, so I may not be a good judge. It's kind of hard to hear though, the music is louder than you are.

Are hemp products actually illegal? I don't think they are. I think that it's not a government/big business issue, it's more of a people issue; people associate hemp products with pot smoking (therefore law breaking) hippies, and so it has a negative stigma attached to it. Therefore the demand for hemp products is low, and…

I tried buying my tickets again today for my trip back to the US in August. After surfing around I found tickets for the low low price of $1000, literally half the price they were a few months ago when we were all discussing the trip. As I was trying to buy them, they jacked the prices up $500 bucks. What a bunch of…

He was on a two day temporary ban for creating a thread that Jakey told him specifically not to create.

The real benefit to legalizing it is that it's the most profitable product of the drug cartels, so legalizing it takes away their profits. Marijuana costs pennies to produce, and it's widely consumed nationwide because it's not really dangerous. Cocaine was really profitable up until the mid 80s when crack cocaine became…
