You are correct, however, as a person who has lost 30kg and kept it off through diet and exercise, I know that I have to eat less and do more than many people I know. I would be very happy to be able to change my gut bacteria and be more relaxed than I have to be now. I train 12-14 (hard) hours a week and am constantly aware of my kilojoule intake. It would be nice to not have to fight every day to maintain a healthy weight. My brothers did not put on weight easily on the same intake and I was more active than they were as kids, but I am more prone to weight gain than they are. Targeted antibiotics followed by a re-seeding with less efficient bacteria resulting in less energy being released from food would be great. I get pissed off sometimes when I see the amount of crap others can eat and then sit on their arses all day and not gain weight. I like the other results of my lifestyle, I'm fit and strong and complete Tough Mudders, but it would be nice to be able to relax sometimes.
No, and I mean NO! because central wealth distribution has been shown time and again to disincentivise people from actually doing something useful with their lives. If you earn enough from benefits, and your benefits reduce if you work/produce value, then why do anything useful? And Benefit Dependency is a really nasty pernicious place to be in.

As such, it's pretty much essential that we focus on figuring out how best to help people learn and reach their potential.
" assumes the profits aren't hidden or shifted to another country first"
But that's what they do, and they have teams of lawyers and accountants to hide the money, the tax wont be paid, maybe the loopholes will be closed when it happens enough, or more "austerity" will be required instead....
True, people like other people around, until the numbers of staff at sites get so low that they become part time, say one or two days at each just to check on the machines, small teams moving from place to place. Then again, their at the bottom of the ladder, so if management says that the team will be one tech in each area what are they going to say, "No! Employ more workers?" The ratio will get huge, that's OK, as long as we move away from employment being the source of income to exchange for goods and services.
People shouldn't be tazed to make them comply, this is a disturbing trend, tazers are meant to be a non-lethal weapon so that guns don't have to be drawn and fired.
It applies as their announcement of a new product (their new phone), will likely kill demand for the current Nokia winphones, just like Osbourne's new model announcements killed their current sales.
Microsoft have already flirting up to HTC, while Elop lives in denial.
Interesting, maybe that's their strategy, "ally" themselves with the smaller players one by one and suck them dry, then move up the chain. Not that I'd miss HTC currently, my older phone was great, but the one I just replaced with a Samsung was unalloyed crap!
"market perception of Nokia isn't bad in phone space" I just bought a new phone last week and the shops were really down on Nokia and windows phones, lots of faulties apparently. It was all iPhone this, Samsung that....
The patents are mostly crap, I'm looking forward to when they get squashed when we finally wake up to how bad they are for the industry. I wonder if MS will be mostly patent troll by then?
Over the last month unmarked police cars have been all over the highways. They are patrolling out on the road and they stopped my wife for doing 106km/h in a 100km/h zone on a steep downhill section of the road. My wife was in 3rd gear to slow the car down, but like everyone else here, she didn't ride her brakes to keep it under 100. She now has to pay $100 dollars or take it to court. I have heard numerous similar stories, I'd be OK if they were in some of our dangerous curves or in school zones where idiots keep speeding, but they're not. Personally I think the unmarked cars should be strictly for investigation unless they see something dangerous. Oh and before you say speeding is dangerous, piss off, 106 isn't excessive speed. In fact I support calls for the 110km/h zones to be expanded and even 120 on the divided freeways, roads are better now, cars are better now, we don't need the old limit. Conversely, if people drive too fast in poor conditions/faster than they or their car can handle, then throw the book at them.
I wouldn't accept the libs as economic liberals, they are more like commercial/corporate liberals, they do not favour real free markets, they are in bed with big business and support them with policy.
I didn't realise that he invented amorphous cells, history will show whether he is remembered more for those or if his batteries sparked (sorry, couldn't resist (sorry)) a transport revolution (OK I'll stop now).
Some Democrats (not like US ones, party severely damaged some time ago by defections and scandals) , there were Republicans, I think the party officially still exists, no actual politicians though. The major parties are Labour (more left wing) and Liberals (who oddly enough are very un-liberal conservatives). Then there are the greens and quite a few independents, and the National party which is mostly an appendage of the Liberals, mainly in inland country areas. None of them seem to have much backbone in foreign policy.
Wow they are scary numbers. I don't suppose we should be surprised, they want to make use of their exploit and/or they've seen how people are treated if they do point out vulnerabilities.
I have used them actually. We did a three way test here, iphone/android/w7. The phones were OK, nothing to rave about. 90%+ of the staff went with apple, primarily due to you point 1, the apps. The other 10% chose android. The w7 phones aren't "bad", as such, they just don't "wow", to unseat iphone/android from dead dead last they have to be fantastic, and they are not. I personally like using the iphone best, even though I personally have some reservations about the Apple walled garden.
The optimism for Windows Phone in the press really does surprise you? Why? It may be distinctly mediocre, but it is backed by massive advertising and connections.
Losing Engineers and the CFO is already gone...... Bad news. Honestly, if I saw our CFO selling/shorting stock and/or leaving then I'd really panic, they always seem to know what's going on, and when to take their golden parachute!

No bloody edit button, that should be they're not their..... Rushing...

Until they get good enough to start writing their own descendant's code and doing their own upgrades......

Really, you like tan, do you own a Zune?
I'm more interested in whether this could be used by governments or others to control what you see?

Yeah! Puffs away to inject insulin after big gulp.

Interesting, I know where you're coming from, most places I order from (Australia) do not take Amex, but mastercard, visa and paypal.
That's a sobering thought. I wonder if they test or just assume it's safe?
