Years ago now, my sister-in-law was headed to a job interview when she confessed to me she had no HS diploma. She asked me what she should tell the employer. I thought about the number of times I actually had to present my HS diploma...three times: military service, college, and state examination. I told her to say she had one. She's been saying that for twenty years.
When one enlists voluntarily in the military, a contract for eight years of a combination active/inactive service is now the norm. A three year active duty hitch nets you five years reserve duty, which can become active duty at the whim of your Country's Warlords. This is a part of the contract one signs when enlisting.... no big surprise, is what I mean to say.
As far as we presently know, you are safely correct. I suspect however, like many relatively recent nutritional discoveries (betacarotene, lysine, and the watermelon seed), there are nutrients in food & mother's milk that we've yet to isolate and identify. Vitamins ARE supplements, and ought to be treated as such.. there is no substitute for a healthy diet.
It's a tad stringy and a bitch to cook (think brisket), but the only palatable difference between smoked felis silvestris catus and grilled medium rare ribeye is about three days hungry.
When a government attempts to squelch dissent, too often they wind up resorting to suppression of the freedom of speech and access to information. The internet, a luxury to many of us living large 1st-World lives, is the epitome of freedom in the Third World.
That an intellectual forum of internet posters could degrade to ad hominem attacks instead of reasoned debate.... Is this the/. farm system where we draft our new players from?
So it will cost 3 times what you could get it for normally?
Seriously... Everything they sell is overpriced by at least 2x.
They're for office workers. (where people who come get stuff don't care how much their employer spends)
"
So seriously, I can use one of these things at work now, in place of more traditional benefits?
Most people are average and don't do much to help or hinder progress while a relative few continuously drive forward and fight against the ones actively trying to hold things back.
I read a "tough-on-crime" article several years ago, the gist of which was a posit defending the supposition that a small percentage of criminals were responsible for a large percentage of reported (statistically significant) criminal events. My instinct tells me this is likely correct, though I have no studies to cite. That a small amount of individuals could be responsible for a large amount of the "collective works", in any accounting of the merits, seems very likely.
To be, admittedly, a tiny bit more than fair to SupplyMission, a valid offtoperesting point is raised: what the devil do folks imagine is so damned fascinating about their baby stories and kitten adventures that we who are outside the family would enjoy? "Would you like to see the video of Baby Jennifer's birth?" Really? I don't care who you are, that's testing the boundaries of your ability to maintain polite conversation.

May the fourth be with you.

This would have gotten a lot better play on Slashdot if Monsanto had played a larger and more definitive role in the CCD....

In the story's release was a matter of national security, or just normal time lapse between an event's occurrence and discussion on /.
Speaking for myself, I'd be 'laying out' like a skinny panther with a fat lamb attempting to perfect self-replication.
Agreed. In fact, the only difference between good coffee and bad coffee is about two hours first thing in the morning.
I always hated Cater. I thought that whole peanut thing was unpesidential.
Statistical noise sir... de minimus data.
