If you listen to all the new agers, we've been declining for the last 13,000 years and we're currently at the absolute low of human intelligence. We're at the divide between the dark/golden age in the precession of the equinox. That helps explain the Egyptians, Mayans, etc. We are the ancient aliens. Give it a couple thousand more years and things will start to pick back up.
I've always thought the bans on assisted suicide were stupid. If someone really wants to go, let them. Hell, if a perfectly healthy person really wants to kill themselves, let them. The argument has always been that suicidal people must not be of sound mind. I'd say that so long as they can give any sort of semi-logical reason for wanting to die, let them. Preferably give them a way/place to do it that allows us to quickly harvest their organs. Human life is not special or sacred; it's our free will that should be cherished. Personally, I don't think I'd ever go out like this. If I was terminal, I'd much rather spike a golf ball of heroin or slap a grizzly (and film it). At the very least, load me full of dangerous amounts of psychotropics and see if I say anything profound before I go.
First, there's a difference between fighting terrorism and fighting terrorists. You can kill all the terrorists you want, but it won't stop until you quash the reasons to be a terrorist.
Put yourself in their shoes. If some other country decided to establish a military presence in your back yard and began carrying out strikes that, intentionally or not, resulted in the death or injury of your friends and family; I would hope you'd be willing to rise up against your aggressors. What's the difference between what the US does and terrorism? 1) We do it on a larger scale. 2) our motives are less ideological and more financial. 3) We're us and they're them.
I'm running Jelly Bean, but that's not saying much since my tablet is only a few weeks old. If I find that OS updates in the future aren't available, I'll gladly root the thing. However, I am talking about a tablet; it's just a toy to me. If it's a phone that a person relies on every day, they'll probably be more hesitant to fiddle with it.
Actually, they said they would match anything up to $850k. They'll probably be able to get the property for much cheaper since they're able to pay cash. The Current $1.6m bid that they wanted to beat was apparently financed. With some luck, they should already have some funds leftover to start the museum.
Just create a new form of life and embed your source code in its DNA. Then build a rocket/ion drive/stasis chamber to deliver your new life form to a neighboring star where it can then land and seed life on another planet. The real bitch is starting all over every time you release a patch.
Subject pretty much says it all. Obesity wouldn't be a problem if we didn't make it a problem. If someone makes poor decisions and suffers health problems because of it, then so be it. It's not the public's responsibility to make sure I don't kill myself slowly and it's not the public's responsibility to pick up the check when I decide to participate in activities known to be unhealthy. I don't need/want government to protect me from myself.
Surely they aren't really going to let people start new drugs without talking to a physician. It makes *some* sense if you're talking about continuing a prescription without constantly consulting your doctor, but even that's doubtful in most cases. I can understand inhalers for someone with asthma. That's something you don't use unless you really need it. Stuff like statins are pretty closely monitored though. You're constantly having bloodwork done to make sure your muscles aren't deteriorating. And surely we don't need to hand out antibiotics any faster than we already are. I know plenty of people that go to the doctor every time they have a scratchy throat to bitch and moan until they get azithromycin. Let's not make it any easier for those assholes to doom our species.

They just need to put copper mesh over all the windows to keep the bits from escaping
These go to 11...it's 1 faster.
So does this make bufferbloat better or worse?
So this means we're gonna need more frogs to juice?
this will mean the DHS needs to seize more websites.
scientists know that most facts, aren't facts. Science is useless if we don't question our current understanding.

I'm just shocked that 100% of them don't consider us an enemy. Cuz, I mean, we kinda are.
I'd hate to be the first guy to take a hit off a hydrogen balloon.

The state motto is simply "friendship" "teyshas" is the caddo word for "friends"
Umm...it's kinda the state motto.

You mean to tell me that devices created to read your thoughts are, in fact, capable of reading your thoughts. What a wacky, unforeseen outcome!
make it asexual; that'll eliminate most of that. Then add a checksum.

Sounds to me like girls need to more quickly adapt to a sudden surplus of awkward guys.
