This is a problem. The president needs to negotiate with countries around the world, and sometimes worse. It's no good if he has personal preferences beyond the USA.
...unless you'd like reduced performance on 64-bit code.
Going from 32-bit to 64-bit, Intel performance drops 5%. AMD performance goes up 30%.
You can't stay 32-bit forever. Even the Windows gamer world will end up 64-bit. Linux has already moved, with 100% 64-bit being common for years now.
Intel also does badly when you have more than 4 GB of memory. The AMD chips have an on-chip IO-MMU that can be used to avoid bounce buffers. PCI DMA on an Intel box can only reach the low 4 GB of memory; the OS must copy the data around if you have more RAM.
Arrainged marriages (your parents desided, or you took the first lady off of a ship) once were common. These marriages lasted until death (not a murder or suicide!), so don't say it doesn't work that way. You're already way ahead if you get to meet your spouse before the wedding day.
You can preach all you want, but people will still use condoms incorrectly. People tend to be rather dumb when getting aroused.
The bit about damaging condoms involves one party. The other party, usually the male, is trusting the condom. Condoms even get fished out of the trash. In the USA, this normally means the male must pay child support. Abstinence doesn't get you into such situations.
Shit does indeed happen. Recklessly allowing it to happen is another matter.
Chlorine resistance in drinking water is way different. The chlorine level is really low. We even drink the water.
Fire, chlorine, and hard radiation will all do the job nicely. It will take more that a little resistance for bacteria to survive a serious doze of any of those. This isn't internal medicine, where you have to avoid killing the patient. This is an industrial treatment. The surfaces can be sealed concrete, stainless steel, galvanized steel, and/or non-porous plastic.
It's good to get married early, given that it works out economicly. That's an issue worth dealing with; we've made life too expensive with all our nice-to-have rules and regulations.
This "probably not want to stay with the rest of your life" is bullshit. You're trash the moment you consider that. The crude fix is to make divorce be more difficult to get. If you chose unwisely, tough shit. (By age 14, I wouldn't have made a bad choice. By age 18 I would have made an excellent choice.)
Condoms break.
Just like you say abstinence doesn't work (because people won't abstain), condoms don't work (because people won't use them right). People fumble with them. People try to put them on the wrong way, then flip them around the right way. People snooze while still connected, go limp, let the condom fall off and get lost inside the woman, etc. People even damage condoms on purpose so that they can get pregnant!
Kids need two parents. Given that birth control fails, getting married first is rather important. It's terrible to start a kid off without a proper family.
A message without self-conflict could include marriage. Nobody suggests that abstinence apply in marriage. Get married if you want to fuck. Getting married is nice for a million other reasons as well. (economic, practical, mental health, kids...)
"The outward effects of religion on society is caustic to education (e.g. evolution in schools), civil rights (e.g. bigotry in law and elsewhere towards homosexuals), personal freedoms (e.g. illogical drug use laws) and public policy (e.g. supporting abstinence education over contraceptive education)."
I'm with you on the evolution in schools, but the rest is a matter of public health. It's only just recently that few few homosexual groups in the USA have started to openly promote the truth about AIDS being far more common among homosexuals. The drugs are very obviously destructive. (there are also powerful economic arguments going both ways) Contraception, including condoms, does a rather bad job of stopping incurable diseases -- it's seriously irresponsible to suggest that anybody rely on this "protection" for their future health and even survival.
Sick animals get incinerated, along with all their neighbors. The pen/field/coop gets treated with concentrated chlorine bleach.
If it happens often, consider raising the animals in a protected indoor environment with filtered air and tightly controlled access. At some point that may be cheaper than buying insurance against the incinerations.
That 2-year-old with an ear infection would need to stay in the hospital until long after the last dose. During that hospitalization, all excretions and bodily waste would need to be sent to a high-temperature incinerator to destroy the antibiotic.
Otherwise, it goes out with the sewage to create drug-resistant bacteria whereever the sewage may eventually go. It'll pass through most sewage treatment plants just fine.

2nd in line is nearly nothing.
The only way she'd get to be president is if Washington D.C. got nuked while she was out flying her plane.
The 1st lady has major influence over the president. Taking good care of her reduces stress on the president.
He pretty much grew up outside the USA.

it sounds like you were the witness
They claim to have REMOVED THE LINK.
Removing a link to a web page takes the "feature" away on the server...? Idiots.

AMD chips go 30% faster when 64-bit.
Intel chips go 5% slower when 64-bit.
I suppose this is an indication that Intel marketing pays attention to the very lame old 32-bit benchmarks that are getting used.
64-bit is here now, even if you run Windows. Linux people have had pure 64-bit systems for many years.
California is under US law. I'm sure California would be fine with you living in sin.
There was a time when a small plane would get you free calls. The billing system couldn't keep up with the tower handoffs.
Maybe it still works in some places.
It's their Rights Management System. No kidding. It's DRM. This is software that takes away your rights. :-)
WinCE developers can get source code already. So the machine has to run WinCE instead of Vista.
You trust that? Your confidence amuses me.
So they moved SOME of the GUI out, supposedly.
Huge portions are definitely still there.
Want to patch one day per month? Fine. How about one day per year? It's your choice.
Some would rather not delay. They're not getting THEIR choice.
Remember, if Microsoft releases a patch every 30 minutes, you can still choose one day per month to apply them all.
Red is difficult. Nearly all red dyes fade. Red also tends to be unhealthful; ever notice that we're up to #40 on red food color in the US?
Black is best. Blue tends to be better than green. Red is terrible.
Think it'd be cool to visit Greenland?
1. be a prof
2. propose theory that must be tested in Greenland
3. profit
4:3 is for the low-end models. The cameras with replaceable lenses tend to use 3:2, Olympus's 4/3 system excepted.

I'm taking it as a given that you DON'T use the antibiotics on the animals.
Without antibiotics, you stop disease by incinerating the infected animals. (leaving the animals to sit around and die is a bad idea)

"Don't do this, but use condoms when you do it."
That's a mixed message.

I'll take a guess, based on "America's Christianity" and the makeup of Slashdot, that you are European.
You might want to recall what the religeous fanatics did 100 to 400 years ago: they moved from Europe to America.
So the populations have different genetics today. Americans are more restless, adventurous, imaginative, risk-accepting... and religeous.
