    I'm not dependant on caffine, I do not consume it regularly. I try to have some in the morning to prevent falling assleep at inconvineant times when I haven't slept well, or otherwise need a little help staying up but I dislike coffee can tea, so I usualy end up having a moutian dew.

    Linux is not specificly a desktop OS. In fact that's really not even what it's best at. It's best at providing a very stable and secure operating system for whatever you want to run on top of it, be it a desktop enviorment, server, pda, router, industrial machine, or other embeded appilication. That's the beauty of total modularity, you can dump anything you don't need.

    Pure caffeine can be easily isolated from caffeine tablets or ordered from chemical suppliers. Damn cheap.

    Just by smashing them up? or is there more involved? I'd love a link to instructions, and a link to someone that sells caffine powder suitable for bevrage usage would be nice. I'll finalt be able to start my day with a nice healthy glass of caffinated orange juice.

  23. Re:for South Africa on Will Earth Expire By 2050? · · Score: 1

    China's "Strong Encouragement" consists of fines for those that choose to have multiple children. It is true that female babies may be killed for cutrual reasons by families who cannot afford the fines, which is sad. You're right about a Two Child program being a better option, for preventing overcrowing before it happens, but in china the overcrowding was already too bad.

  24. Re:for South Africa on Will Earth Expire By 2050? · · Score: 1

    It's not enough. Most families in the US have at least 2 children, and frequently 3 or more. Last I heard this avaraged out to 2.3 children per family, which does cause population growth. There are already too many people in many parts of the united states and other developed contries.

  25. Re:for South Africa on Will Earth Expire By 2050? · · Score: 1

    If more places followed China's lead and STRONGLY encouraged (nasty tax penalties for children beyond the first) the situation would improve. I really think this is a neccacery evil. It WILL piss people off A LOT, but in NEEDS to be done.
