To all Cureheads (Jul 20 2004 23:49 GMT) - Last post by Louche on 23:16 20/Jul/04 - A while ago there was a Cure thread with a very detailed recommendations list. I thought I'd come back to it in time, but, being the silly mare I am, I forgot about it. |

Adverse Drug Reactions (Jul 20 2004 23:48 GMT) - I should have blogged this at the time. It is the first decent study in the UK of the burden of iatrogenic drug disease. However a point. The BMJ usefully puts a box on its published papers, telling what was... |

Review of The Last Samurai (Jul 20 2004 23:47 GMT) - I've got a soft spot for samurai movies. I'm not sure what it is exactly, but something about the discipline, the focus, and the prowess of the samurai resonates. The Last Samurai, unfortunately, did not. The premise of the movie is that a veteran officer (played by Tom Cruise) of the U.S. |

2004-07-20T23:47:11 My laptop replacement system (Jul 20 2004 23:47 GMT) - After trying (without success) to get my laptop to play nice with my wireless card for about 10 gruelling hours, and hearing I'm getting a nice tax refund, I've decided on plan B: using my laptop replacement system. Every few years, I buy a US$900-ish consumer laptop (using the best deal I can find), and sell it about 2 years later for about US$400. Then I buy a new one. This way, I always have a decent model, while paying very little (about US$300 a year). |

Put Down the Phone and ... (Jul 20 2004 23:47 GMT) - Put Down the Phone and Drive (and Take Off the Headset, Too). The Wall Street Journal reports on research showing hands-free cell phone talking while driving is unsafe at any speed: This is a purely public service announcement I make today: if you'd like to dramatically reduce your odds of finding yourself in an accident, don't talk on a cell phone while driving regardless of whether you're holding it or using a hands-free system. The cellular industry doesn't like it, sure, but the growing body of research reviewed in this article makes it clear that talking on a cell phone while driving has a significantly different impact on your ability to stay focused on the road than any other activity, including listening to the radio or talking to passengers ... |

Taking me over (Jul 20 2004 23:45 GMT) - I am immune to any other feelingIts as if IВ’m being taken overSadness is a disease Taking me over I can no longer breatheI feel like IВ’m thrown about like a yo-yoHere and gone, here and goneMy emotions arenВ’t toysI once possessed such great poiseItВ’s all gone nowHope of being aliveYouВ’ve given and taken allAs I cry and scream I feel myself fallI canВ’t get up againAnd feel so alive as I once didWhy canВ’t you see youВ’re my reason for living?How can I not think what IВ’m giving?Life is such a precious thingBut I have valued it notAs I bleed without my princeI barely even winceThis feels all too familiarThis pain I know IВ’ve endured beforeMy tears replace a smileFeeling ever so vileWhy have I expected this to come?You killing me didnВ’t seem a surprise Each time you leave I create another scarPouring the blood down this silver jarYou donВ’t understand how you make me feelI spill my blood and wish me deadFor you donВ’t understand meAnd youВ’ll never seeThat it was you alongThat I neededYou were there to help meAnd everyday when you try to leaveВ…I donВ’t know how it can be |

I hate to say I told you so - #324 (Jul 20 2004 23:45 GMT) - Throughout the 90's I got a rep of a screaming maniac - insisting that HTML sucked, dial-up sucked and that what they were calling broadband - was in fact mid-band. I knew that without at least 5Mbps to the home - we'd never achieve the oft sought after broadband always on revolution. So now Verizon is offering 5Mbps for $35 - 15Mbps for $45 and well - we plan on offering 30Mbps - but we haven't priced it yet. So my reaction is a) it won't work - it'll bottleneck at the head-end, b) what's to download? Nobody can feed them data fast enough - but I end with an optimistic c) 'bout fucking time! |

As Tony Blair prepares to mark a decade as leader ... (Jul 20 2004 23:45 GMT) - [BEYOND NORTHERN IRAQ: STUHUGHESIRAQ@MAIL.COM] - As Tony Blair prepares to mark a decade as leader of the Labour party, he made clear in the commons this afternoon that reports of his demise are premature. Today's Guardian poll may have made him pause for thought -- but there was no sign in his Commons performance that he's suffering a crisis of confidence.After escaping individual criticism in the Butler Report, the Prime Minister was today able to go back on the offensive in a feisty and defiant session at the despatch box. |
