If there’s any question that communism doesn’t work, one need look no further than China. Thanks to SAchin for sending this along. It’s a heartbreaking chronicle of overzealous mental health treatment–if indeed you can even call surfing the web a lot (ahem) a disease. Then again, it sounds like some of the people treated–one kid spent four straight days at an Internet cafe, not eating or drinking–need intervention of some kind, but is the so-called addiction really the problem? Or are they trying to escape from something larger? It’s maladaptive social behavior, to be sure, but it seems it would be best addressed in, oh, every other imaginable way possible before using ECT.

Thanks for helping me to obtain new concepts about pc’s. I also have the belief that certain of the best ways to keep your mobile computer in best condition has been a hard plastic-type material case, or even shell, that suits over the top of one’s computer. These kind of protective gear are generally model specific since they are manufactured to fit perfectly across the natural outer shell. You can buy these directly from the owner, or via third party places if they are available for your notebook computer, however don’t assume all laptop will have a shell on the market. Yet again, thanks for your tips.
