Putting a child on a fad diet is asking for disaster. The only reason adults can tolerate such things is that our brain is more or less done growing, as is our bodies.
Kids need whole foods in adequate but not excessive amounts, more than anything. If only seafood didn't have so much pollution in it, tuna would be awesome brain food for a toddler. Peanuts aren't a bad second choice, though. Whole wheat bread has minerals what white bread doesn't. And so forth. I wonder how many kids are growing up brain-damaged, because of 10% fruit juice, white bread, french fries, etc. Goddamn stupid parents (and shifty advertisers...).
I'm waiting for "Mountain Dew with Calcium". Of course, shit in a bottle with a couple vitamins is already sold to naive mothers as "Sunny D."
Why not just feed the damn kids real fruit juice! It actually isn't that expensive!!! If you want to get the same effect of those "fruit drinks" pour about one ounze of OJ into a glass and fill the rest with tap water.
GPL is (despite our BSD loving friends' statements to the contrary).
For all the zealots, how about this compromise: release your software under both licenses. Oh god, the horror! People can feel safe under the GPL version and put the BSD version to real useful work.
I will never pursue any other claim related to this against Microsoft in the future.
Forever? Damn, that's like selling one's soul. If enough people fall for these vouchers, no one will be left to form a class leaving Microsoft unchallenged by class-action lawsuits for a good generation of humans.
I've never been involved in a class-action lawsuit. Who determines the compensation, can the "class" say "vouchers are trash, cut us a check!" or do the lawyers do everything behind a closed door?
I'd rather see NASA buy next-generation orbital vehiciles from one of the xprize contenders anyway.
This probably won't happen. Rutan would walk up and say, "I'll sell you this thing for $15 million, and it'll cost $750,000 for each flight (made-up numbers)." The NASA budgeteers would be so shocked and ashamed that they would curl up in a ball and start sucking their thumbs crying, "No, it can't be, numbers don't go below 100,000,000! Nooooooo!!!"
Apparently most washing machines are four dimensional objects, which is why you keep losing socks in them.
Ask your spouse if he/she keeps a secret drawer with all the unmatched socks in them. My wife pointed out this magical drawer in our house, and it was as if I had finally come to understand the universe. String theory be damned, someone just ask their wife!
and have to say it was one of the best-digested shows about science I've seen in a very long time. This would be great stuff to show high-school-age students, as long as they are given a disclaimer: "this stuff is much harder than it looks, these guys on the show are Ph.D.s and have won Nobel Prizes..."
What you really should do is to write your reps supporting NPR.
It would be better to encourage private donations to NPR, as federal support increases the temptation for government-sanctioned and controlled programming.
t's unlikely that people will be trading Rush* MP3s any time soon.
I wouldn't bet on that. There are probably losers out there who think Rush is a preacher of the gospel and have his entire history of broadcasts recorded and kept in a magnetically-sealed, light-proof, fire-proof, and locked case to save them for the harvest. Ironically, the only other contents of that case will be a six-pack of bud light and a playboy, but we shouldn't nitpick over such details.
The question should be "Who needs ClearChannel?" Do they really think playing the same cycle of songs three times a day every day is what people want? Or has radio degraded into broadcast musak for office saps?
He was not saying that all individual people care only about becoming higher up on the totem pole, but the majority of the people in appointed positions, i.e. Congress, the White House, and Federal Courts, are concerned only with the gathering and hording of power.
Further, the pawns in government (average civil servants) are often the type of people who simply do what their boss says or their job description says. With uber-union-like qualities, many government jobs can be hard to shake for people who aren't self-motivated to go onto better things. Like sheep, they go where they are led.
Most of the people with real power in the federal government move out every few years.
One problem is that the people cycled into government share the same goals as the people who just left. They are able to manipulate campaigns through ludicrously expensive marketing and doublespeak (if not also via our favorite ATM manufacturer). Conspiracy theories abound about a hidden elite class (plausibility is left open for debate).
It is pretty essential to get the money out of government, as control over money is like a siren-song to politicians. The single most effective measure for doing this would be to repeal the federal income tax.
medical technology is largely to blame for overpopulation
Medical technology also usurps natural selection.
As for over population, I think part of the problem is that suburbia gives an illusion of overpopulation due to terribly inefficient transportation and land allocation methods. I prefer the rural country, where issues of scaling haven't materialized, but in medium-sized cities, people are just screwing it all up.
I think that's just the smell coming from your alias.
But seriously, neither the Democrats nor the Republicans are working towards the American Dream. This is why it is important to support canidates with libertarian ideologies.
democracy is all about the "tyranny of the majority."
That's why the people who wrote the Constitution chose a form of representative government. This avoids the tyranny of democracy while also avoiding the tyranny of a dictatorship. It's a compromise and always subject to change towards either extreme.
Well, it depends on the person. This is why encouraging education, responsibility, and accountability are better solutions than a rigid BAC limit.
Ever see serious gun enthousiasts or race car drivers? They have the "cool" toys and the potential to do lots of harm, but they are dead serious about gun safety, responsible driving, etc.
Then the problem is with the mayor of Houston, his staff, and the general tax structure in that city. I don't know much about that area, but it wouldn't suprise me at all if they are laying off police/teachers/etc. while spending millions on pork projects for city surveillance or a new highway to nowhere.

Elephants float. Horses float. Dogs float. Rats float. Humans float.
There are too many advantages to being able to survive in water to think that dinosaurs would actually sink.

It's built into the human psyche; to always want for something new.
Okay, who want's to break this to the Democrats?

...and those kids always put fresh interesting stuff on the air.
And still provide poor service at the local restaurants... (simply speaking from a recent experience).
Being neither left-wing nor right-wing, where to the libertarians fit in?

They start watching you and see what you'll do in the hopes that you'll lead them to a bigger fish.
It's essentially an arms race of the cops vs. the trafficers. The end result is a mess.
This is nowhere near being impaired.

These are cultural issues.
Then the problem is with the mayor of Houston, his staff, and the general tax structure in that city.

There's a direct correlation between that number and the lack of shame involved. ...and the length of one's ears.
Clearly we need to ban peanuts. The allergic reaction can be devastating.
Peanuts are a very nutritious staple food. It would be better to deal with peanut allergies through genetic counseling and treatment.
