Sexual Asspussy, you are my favorite troll on srashdot. Your name has an extra special meaning for me since my gf gave me some o' dat. In honor of that occasion I am donating 3 karma points by posting this so-called "offtopic" reply to your truly insightful post.
Thanks. Your post really is on topic, because curry has useful health maintenance properties. Just do a search on ayurveda, the 5000+ year old Indian science that was supressed during British/Dutch colonial rule because it explained more than their "science". Western medicine kicks ass with respect to traumatic injuries, but ayurveda acknowledges different body types and the diseases/treatments that vary according to particular body types.
Ginger, onions, garlic, cloves, cinnamon, and cumin all have strong antipathogenic properties. The small amount in a dish of curry won't cure a major infection, but can help maintain lower levels of unwanted pathogens in your GI tract. These spices also stimulate digestion. Some garam masala blends contain ajwan and/or asafoetida [smells like foetid ass!], which stimulate digestion and boost the immune system. Remember, sluggish digestion means that rotting rancid food spends more time in your GI tract--how can that be good for you?
Someone should do research into post-dining serotonin levels using bland American food as the control group and curry dishes as the experiment group. People often seem happier after dining on curries--this happens enough here in Gainesville that some people have started a nasty rumor claiming that the Hare Krishnas spike their food with antidepressants!
I'm a 140# hippie who practices yoga and kung fu. Occasionally I cross paths with someone like you who announces his might and tries to start a fight. I try to avoid fights, but roid freaks seem to never take no for an answer. I only throw the second punch, and make the first (and only) connect.
Choose your fights carefully, and realize the stupidity in risking your life over material possessions that will soon become worthless.

Even better just make sure the chickens drink lots of water with the corn they eat, then overclock (overcluck?) them. The corn and water mixture will boil inside the chicken. When it's done, pour the hot grits into a bowl. Voila!

Thank you. Fifty years from now, when school children are reading about the worldwide holocaust perpetrated by the Land of the Free® in the early 2000s, your post may give some insight into how the peaceful words of Yeshua ben David were perverted into this sort of sicko nationalism.
Mod me down now. Put me in a concentration camp when you reach power, Hitler.
Don't forget that our Founding Fathers ended up here as a result of their old government favoring a particular brand of religion. It was their intention to avoid a repeat.
Besides, how can a 48-year-old amendment be "The foundation and tradition of our country"? Stop hyperventilating for a moment and re-read the decision. The amendment to the Pledge of Allegiance favors monotheism, the Semitic religions specifically. This is not the end of the world by any means, just a return to the Constitution.
Wow. They have said the same thing about illegal drug usage and goofing off at work. I just hope that the politicians and the WSPTOTC (Won't Someone Please Think of the Children) don't create a crazy War on Sloppy Coders and start busting down doors, pointing automatic weapons at coders and shouting "You with the undocumented line of code! Hands off the KB or I shoot!" If I see a TV commercial where some guy with a pocket protector laments "I killed a judge with my sloppy coding", then I am moving to another planet.
This article it typical alarmist FUD. No mention of how much money is saved each year by coders. The sloppiness comes with the territory: unrealistic deadlines, sloppy documentation, buggy interfaces, clueless management, and a changing world. This world of perfection exists only in the minds of the pencil pushers at NIST. In the real world, coders sometimes make mistakes because they are...human.
...for Americans right now seems to be a Sense of Security, no matter how ingenuine.
This technology can (and will!) be circumvented by a group of motivated individuals. Someone will steal an eye or use a corneal implant or [fill in the blank], hijack the plane and terrorize America once again. Maybe the Air Marshal on the flight is a sleeper agent. An entire Board of Directors came to consensus on the eye scanner issue and their entire company has joined in the effort to make this a reality. Are they stupid? No.
Do they really care about security? Only to the extent which it impacts their bottom line. Remember how much the airlines and the FAA cared about security on September 10th?
Perhaps this technology will help soccer moms get over their fear of perishing alongside their precious spawn on an airliner hijacked by Jesus-hating Arabs--maybe long enough to make the industry profitable again--but it won't be too long before we learn anew the difference between Security and a false sense of security.

...to MPR (Monsanto Pressrelease Radio). They are becoming a mouthpiece for the biotech firms. I'm disappointed in their integrity (or lack thereof), but I can't blame them: they are merely trying to replace the government funds that at one time guaranteed their publicness [word?]. With all the anti-NEA/NEH propaganda that the Reaganbots & Rushbots have been spewing for the last 18 years, it's a wonder that NPR never lost all of its funding.

It's true that people automatically equate "dream home" with "custom home", which refers to slight modifications to a cookie cutter style house plan found in a circular devoted to large collections of cookie cutter homes. These homes are designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator; as a result they don't fulfill anyone. Why do people support the cookie cutter home industry? Reason: it's a lot easier than using ones imagination or simply asking "what do I want in a home".
Thanks for the Mockbee link. He spoke to my design class at UF about five years ago. He was much more interesting than Rem Kookhaus and the other Overpaid Professional Eardrum Masturbators (OPEMs) that UF acquired to indoctrinate us with their postmodernist mumbo-jumbo. Most of these OPEMs exist on a purely intellectual level and are incapable of truly connecting with their clients. Two things can happen as a result: either the potential client will avoid hiring an architect, or the client will feel so intimidated by the architect that the architect will dominate the client, building a home that really means nothing to the client.
Anybody interested in owner building should buy this book and look into Mockbee's work. His studio has built some of the most beautiful and inexpensive works in the South. More importantly, he finds uses for perfectly good materials that would otherwise be destined for the landfill. Funny how a home built for someone with an $8K/year income can feel more homey than a house built for a millionaire. Anybody with a DIY mentality and a little imagination can explore the region around their home site to get a feel for regional material preferences and building styles, analyze their site to understand where the sun will be at certain times of the day throughout the year [the reality factor], find creative sources for materials, think of ways the house can accomodate your hobbies, and build a home as opposed to a house.
I was very happy when Sam spoke at UF. He had just received the MacArthur foundation grant and was very upbeat about the freedom that money gave his whimsy. He even went drinking with us after the speech! Sad to hear that he died though. The world has lost a great architect, but Sam made many more great architects.

You should have stopped right there. The record companies are stating these numbers as fact instead of admitting that they are pulling numbers out of thin air. Their strategy is similar to the ONDCP's: design the numbers to fit the agenda. In the case of the ONDCP, they estimate higher drug usage when they want a higher budget, then they estimate lower drug usage to prove their efforts were successful. The record companies are giving an outrageous estimate to shock people into believing that there is a serious problem with piracy. Wait a few years, until the DMCA and other dragnets have imprisoned and fined a large number of people. Then the record companies will revise their estimate to prove that the legislation was effective in reducing piracy.
