Since you can't compare your health with the health of yourself without that vegetarian diet, there's no way you could say if you were more or less healthy that way. So you can't say from experience that the vegetarian diet is good for your health. All you can say is that it didn't have any obvious negative effect.
Moreover it may also depend on what you would have eaten otherwise. If the alternative would have been a "McDonald's diet", I'm pretty sure your vegetarian diet is indeed more healthy. OTOH, if the alternative would be a healthy non-vegetarian diet (much vegetables, but also fish and some meat), I'm not so convinced. And I can even imagine vegetarian diets which are completely unhealthy, to the point that even the "McDonald's diet" would be healthy in comparison.
Only problem is that I haven't seen a worthy replacement for Facebook to migrate to, yet. Sure, I'd love a place to post stuff to my network of friends without having to worry about my mother/nosey uncle/boss reading it, but there doesn't seem to be anything out there that seems superior.
What about Ping? (yes I'm being sarcastic)
It's a wonderful tool to find out if a computer is up and reachable. I don't think it's very useful to post stuff, though.;-)
I believe this "smart elitism" view that intelligence deserves rights is, on the flip-side, what leads many to justify discriminating against human idiot persons as well. Just because someone or some species is smarter, doesn't make it any better, nor does being stupid make someone or some species any lesser.
How about we treat all animals as Non-Human Persons?
Why stop there? Treat plants as non-human persons as well! Why should they be discriminated only because they get their energy from the sun?
We cannot disrupt the natural order of evolution, because we are part of it. Yes, even if humans kill a species, it's still evolution. The species wasn't sufficiently adapted to a human-dominated world. The big question, of course, is whether we humans are sufficiently adapted to a human-dominated world, or if we will ultimately go extinct because we destroy the base of our own survival.
And in response to the obvious question, I'll happily eat Long Pig.
It's hard to believe there exists an obvious question for which the answer is "I'll happily eat Long Pig."
Well, an obvious question would be: "What are the last five words of Post #34797840 by Captain Splendid (673276)?" (Or the last six words if you count "I'll" as two words)
Well, while humans and companies are both considered people, there are still differences in how the law treats them. For example, if you intentionally kill a company, you'll not be sentenced with murder. OTOH a company will never be put in jail, no matter how much it breaks the law (individual people from that company may, of course, be put in jail if they are found to be personally responsible, but the company itself won't).
So what you say is that they have oral teaching and oral tradition. The term "history" refers exclusively to information about the past. For example, how and when to use Newtons laws is science, while how Newton came to postulate those laws is history of science. Both are related, but separate.
So unless the hunting instructions of dolphins includes information about how their ancestors discovered hunting methods, or about certain successful hunts in the past, those instructions are not history.
Maybe some dolphins take away the rights from other dolphins. In that case, giving the dolphins rights would mean to find those bad dolphins and arrest them.:-)
If the referrer field frequently points to a certain web page, it's likely that it's a sort of Slashdot effect caused by that site (unless that page specifically says "DDoS that site!").
The public key could be signed with a private government key. Then your self-generated public/private pairs are useless because you don't have the private government key to sign your public key with.
However I think the keys would be too long to be practical to be printed on the bank notes. What could work is if the serial number is just that, but the electronics contains the same serial number signed with both a government key (to proof the serial number has actually been issued by the government, because no one else has the government private key) and by a banknote private key which is stored in the electronics but not sent outside, but can be used to encrypt short random test data (say 32 bits). The banknote's public key would be signed by the government key, too, so a counterfeiter cannot simply create his own pair, and could be read from outside through the reading interface.
I think this combination would be about the safest which is possible. You cannot create your own serial numbers (because you cannot government-sign them) nor your own public/private key pairs (because you cannot government-sign the public key), you cannot duplicate the banknote by just the data available from the interface (because the private key isn't directly accessible through that, but can be tested through test-encryption).
Because carrying money comes without extra cost? Because that way you have intuitive control about your spending? Because unlike credit cards, it cannot be tracked? Because it's often simply faster?
That's not really related to math. In any subject there are teachers who don't like pupils learning ahead. IMHO such teachers should be forbidden to ever get closer than 100 meters to any pupil again.
The only way to switch your phone off is to remove the battery? Yeah, technically there are a few circuits still powered even if the phone is off (otherwise it would be impossible to switch it on again, given that phones don't have a hardware off switch (at least I don't know any which has). However as long as it doesn't use the communication circuits, it cannot be located.
Of course, you don't even need to switch your phone off for this. You just have to put it into airplane mode.
I was a bit worried about exaggerated 3D effects, but they were well done, subtle and immersive. In fact I really didn't notice which scenes were done in 2D and which were 3D - that's how subtle the use was.
YET AGAIN! People are always saying this about these modern 3D movies: "The 3D was so subtle it was hardly distracting at all!" Not distracting? I'm asking you -- begging you -- why the Hell do I have to wear glasses to watch movies these days if I can't even tell which scenes are 2D and which are 3D? What is more distracting than wearing glasses when you don't need glasses?
What the hell do you need color in the movie if it's not distracting you? Any movie that doesn't make use of neon yellow, bilious green, aggressive pink and similar colors should be made in black and white!

Indeed, if recording calls would be forbidden even if the other one agrees, then answering machines would be disallowed, too.

But...but... Facebook is worth 33 BILLION DOLLARS!
I wasn't aware that the dollar has already lost that much value. :-)
Yeah, it's a great way to keep competition from forming. :-)

See? It not only deleted your files from your computer, it also deleted them from your memory. That's why you can't remember any lost files. :-)
...but I have my own Dropbox. It's called "My Briefcase", and it requires no Internet connection -- just plenty of floppy disks.
Floppy disks? I use punch cards for this. That way I don't have to fear my data to be deleted by a stray magnetic field.
