I've had caffeine problems in the past and am now rolling back to Green Tea. Just enough of a prod. The problem with Coffee is it's a big hit and the subsequent sips provide a declining return on alertness, but an increase in fidgeting, anxiety, etc. A more modest dose from tea and I'm less likely to become accustomed to high levels of caffeine which only serve to keep me at a body-acclimated "normal".
Coffee is great in small doses. The huge mugs that Americans favor and the super mega vente that most people buy at the coffee shop is way overkill. I found that coffee was making me edgy until a friend from Europe gave me a set of very nice small cups, maybe six ounces. If I have one of those in the morning, sitting on my back porch with the wife, it gets me off to a nice running start and doesn't keep me awake at night.
After that, it's just herb tea or slivovitza. Once in a while a Yoohoo and Jagermeister over crushed ice, because the elk blood is good for my gout.
This is the case - your first hit of coffee has more impact than any more you drink all day - rate of declining return - as your body acclimates to it and your cognitive self also makes subtle adjustments. Star*ucks is far too strong and I only get on gift cards when traveling, in the smallest cup size - even that will last more than one day.
Realize I'm getting edgy and having trouble concentrating --- Stop drinking coffee.

I appreciate what they're trying to do, but really, each person has their own caffeine profile and has to find where it works and where it doesn't.

I'm sorry, but due to the presence of a word in your post which is in one of the films we own the rights to, as per Digital Millenium Copyright Act (as we and our lackeys choose to interpret it) we shall be forcing this site to shut down indefinitely, further we will freeze all financial accounts, telecommunications access to your residence, issue a character assassinating bulletin to Newswire and one of our company drivers will back over your mailbox and/or leave tracks on your lawn.
I too and sick of my mobile going off to inform me I won a prize or am approved for a loan or some other BS. Do keep in mind these scumbags aren't the sort who will honor any legislation or directive. Mobile carriers should be enabling a crowd-based blocking feature - enough people report a number as robo-calling or scamming and it can be blocked by an opt-in program. (Yeah, too intelligent, hasn't got a chance, but I can dream)
A lot of people haven't heard of Slashdot. Would that make it right if it were taken offline on the arbitrary say-so of some government functionary?
Remember, this is the slashdot audience you are addressing - you could get answers of 'Yes', 'No', '[CENSORED]' or some reference to an old television show.
Agree, though, this is only a little island, like so many others. Were it suddenly to become known to certain flash-mob types it could suffer it's very own Slashdot Effect.
Now, if I could only handle eating sufficiently spicy food.:(
Work your way up to it. Regular diet of mildly spicy and eventually your tolerance will be increased. I'm a fiend for fiery hot food and find it clears the lungs as well. Seems to generally get the lymphatic system into a higher gear.
You can't effectively treat biofilms with antibiotics. And that is exactly what this type of infection is--a biofilm.
A better approach is the use of biofilm "release" enzymes that signal the cells within the biofilm to stop producing EPS and detach from whatever surface they are clinging to. Use of such enzymes alongside antibiotics in a medical setting is likely to work even better.
I just eat spicy food (liberal use of capsicums.) My body reaction is to produce more sinus mucus. Seems to work, not enirely certain how, though perhaps someone more informed on what the increase does.. though it is worth noting most of these infections coincide with winter and thus drier air. Keeping sinus from drying or keeping the mucus in productions appears to limit spread and duration of infections (though could this be how the body is meant to work?)
Getting your heartrate up is the important bit - use those lungs and get your liver in fighting trim. The more vital you are the better off you are, short and long term.
I'd hate to see research coming out recommending people do as little as possible. It would only confirm to the at-risk group they don't need to work on it. Meanwhile, people I went to high school with are popping their clogs. Geez.
It's a fine initiative. Of course, it will be completely ignored by anyone that matters, but very fine nonetheless...
Of course.. dear old Microsoft and dear old Google were collecting software patents "defensively" and now we see what a mess even that turns into, in the right hands and with the right motivation.
Wish T-Mobile would pick up some sort of spam filtering.. I'm getting a lot of crap on my mobile phone and don't want to sit around blocking this number or that, but have them block known text spammers (anything with 'prize' in the email address) or phonus balonus lottery/baby name/ whatever promoters.
Overbooking is awesome. I don't understand what the airlines get out of it, but it just never happens that you get bumped off a flight you MUST be on, because there are always people willing to take the perks of getting bumped. If you don't need to be that on that flight, then you get the perks.
I've been tempted to take the perks of being bumped, but usually I'm in a rotten mood because my flight is being held up while they look for volunteers.
AT&T needs to learn from the insurance companies - the REAL profit is in selling a product you never intend to deliver.
I'd mod this to +6 if I could.
AT&T is still running a lot of traffic, last mile/last feet, in copper and doesn't want to go through tens of thousands of neighborhoods and replace copper with glass. They also don't want to upgrade switches. It was such a shock to their crappy infrastructure when the first iPhones saturated their networks in New York City. Excuse me while I mock the blank, stupid looks on their faces, because some engineer, somewhere must have done the math and warned them it was coming. Dur. Got some great publicity out of that gaffe, didn't they?
And so little of that, if any at all, was dependent upon copper.
I sit and read about Euro telecoms running networks up to 100 Mb/s all over the place and see AT&T (among others) looking for ways to throttle the pokey 6 Mb/s I'm getting, or even figuring how to charge me for using it, effectively threatening the Golden Goose of the Internet for any company selling a product requiring high bandwidth, which really is the future growth direction. What do they want, a government subsidy? Of course they do, just like Big Oil, I bet.
Most of this debris isn't sitting still, It's moving at thousands of MPH. How do you plan to catch something moving that fast without destroying the collector?
Employ people on the ground to map out the best path to collect as much rubbish as possible with the fuel available - chose best path, least number of turns, accellerations and so on.
From indie music, yes, but then they're not involved in the Grammys. I don't understand what mindset you have to be in where you'll spend the time to watch the Grammys but not spend time discovering the truckloads of great music that the Grammy awards completely ignore (and thus show how stupid and useless the Grammys are).
Agree. The Grammys are a complete sham. It's about promoting the industry and trying to convice the kiddies the music they listen to is award winning stuff.
I'm finding World Music is very rich and there's no end to it. Thanks to the interwebs we now can find recordings of it, where once you had to be there.

Exactly how does this work? Each spam comes in on a different number.
Can we add text messages to this please?
I'm tired of paying per-message to receive spam.

Let's not say "some government" when it's always the US government.
Which government do you mean? The grand and glorious one of "We The People" or the one pwned by 1%?
A lot of people haven't heard of Slashdot. Would that make it right if it were taken offline on the arbitrary say-so of some government functionary?

Did you mean release?
It's a more technically sophisticated method of distro - sharks with lasers.
and you thought they were only for weapons!

Unfortunately, with Apple practising predatory patent behaviour, it seems as though they were justified...
Not to forget the usual Patent Trolls.
This article is assuming we shouldn't have been boycotting Sony already.
Silly people... why do they need so much time to learn?
I'd been boycotting Whitney Houston for all her music which I didn't like. So this plays straight into my hands!

I'd tell you that may be a human rights violation, but then we would get more lawyer jokes.
How about Inhuman Rights and Zombie jokes?
BTW, see the short film A Morning Stroll, it's great.
It's a fine initiative.
Of course, it will be completely ignored by anyone that matters, but very fine nonetheless...

For purchasing too much of their product? Why are they selling a service they can't provide?
Is there a law saying you can't do this? I know it doesn't sound right, but is there a law?
You can do anything you like if there isn't a law forbidding it.
Looks like ATT didn't plan or execute their long term strategy well. And they wonder why they weren't allowed to buy T-Mobile
They're plans for T-mobile probably included making a lot of money in bonuses and executive backslapping. It had nothing to do with improving service.
and airlines... "overbooking," anyone?
Overbooking is awesome. I don't understand what the airlines get out of it, but it just never happens that you get bumped off a flight you MUST be on, because there are always people willing to take the perks of getting bumped. If you don't need to be that on that flight, then you get the perks.
