   Anecdotal, but as a non-smoker, I don't find any withdrawal or cravings symptoms at all when I stop consuming nicotine. It's milder than stopping caffeine.

   Not necessarily a trade-off with non-tobacco nicotine.

   Really? I thought adderall (contains 1/4 dextro-) or vyvense (don't know which amphetamines it contains) were pretty common.

   Compared to e-cigs, sure. Compared to food, or conventional cigarettes ... they're really really cheap. 96 x2mg gums for $22 comes out to 45¢/mg. I use maybe 0-2 (edit: gums (90¢-$1.80)) a day (I probably save at least that much b

   For non-smokers, less is more... nicotine is a pretty powerful stimulant, you don't necessarily want strong hits. My 2¢. (I am a non-smoker; have tried 2mg and 4mg gum, and find 4mg similar in some ways to having a 'bad trip'

   Dexedrine is dextroamphetamine (commonly prescribed for ADD and other things, like staying awake). Methamphetamine is a different chemical with an important legal distinction (if subjectively and objectively very similar).

    I don't think it would, actually. Enough people are willing to mine for a loss and the difficulty rises with availability of cheap hardware that it never becomes profitable. OP only made a (slight) profit because they could temporarily

    But perhaps more importantly, not a big subjective difference ;-).

    Meth is only prescribed for ADHD in the US. Is it prescribed for ... nevermind, you edited your post. (Original said something to the effect of "meth is prescribed for drowsiness in pilots," which is inaccurate for the US.)

    From his Nictotine article, gum or patch. But e-cig might be fine too if the parts don't have lead or other hazardous substances in them, modulo maybe higher risk of addiction.

    Yeah, but I don't recommend singing in the shower for 1.5 weeks while your employer is paying you sick leave ;-).

    So: 1.5 weeks of work. $50-$75/mo/instance. x20-60 instances. Worked for 3-4 weeks. If we assume the most optimistic parameters: $75 * 1mo * 60 instances = $4500 in profit for 1.5 weeks of work, or a rate of ~$156k/yr. Edit:

    Hm, ok. Still, at some level fragmentation is eating gobs of space even if correct for the "average".

    This isn't quite right. Even if your average string length is 1k+, you shouldn't change the embedded string size to 1k+. I think these objects sit on the C stack internally, which doesn't handle large objects like this well.

    Washington state actually (partially) legalized alcohol ahead of the Federal repeal of prohibition. So there's a kind of historical example.

    Can someone explain how the keying system works? What is the secret information a user needs to decrypt messages addressed to them? What prevents a 3rd party from decrypting those messages? What is the 'key'?

    Yeah, me too. The primary reason I purchased this is that I know I have 50% odds of having a BRCA mutation (1 of my parents does). I was really looking forward to that test.

    The TV networks, MPAA, RIAA started issuing automated DMCA notices in early 2013, making it more or less useless for content. Have things changed?
