I usually walk to the gym from work, but I do work out one day on the weekend. I drive to the gym. I'd estimate it's a 30 minute walk, 10 minute drive.
I don't care about the calories I could have burned, they're insignificant compared to the calories I burn from deadlifting and squatting. All it's going to do is keep me away from my post workout protein shake and boost my cortisol levels. Deadlifting is far better for burning energy than jogging. If I wanted to run, I'd do some 40 meter sprints in my neighborhood, I don't need the gym for that unless it's raining. While I am into serious weight training, most people would be better off deadlifting, squatting, or sprinting rather than jogging.

In my experience, I can only smell a woman's "lower half" if she's aroused. I can do this even if she's still clothed and my face isn't between her legs. The odd thing is, I generally have a weak sense of smell. I have to have my roommates smell my leftovers to tell me if it went bad, for example.
Are you sure you weren't just edgy because you didn't have any time for rest? When you hit the cafe, you had a chance to relax. Maybe you still would have felt peaceful or balanced if you took a nap or read a book.
I love feeling connected and whatnot (I usually go to my computer as soon as I wake up), but whenever I go on vacation I usually stay away from the Internet and I don't feel edgy at all.
"That said, if the Wii shipped with a "game cube" controller and made it a way to build games for both, they might have been able to snag more by being the uber-system (both types of games), but that might have discouraged Wii-style games, so who knows."
Wii sports does have a sliding skill level. The games get harder as your skill level improves (well, not in bowling or golf). The difference between a boxer at level 100 and a boxer at level 700 is huge, and your skill level only goes up if you're beating the previous boxer. That means you spend a little while learning the system and then you end up at a level where you're challenged, but still have a chance. That being said, I love Wii sports and my roommates and I have been playing it more than Twilight Princess.
They were greedy? This is some random unofficial pledge. Even if 100k people pledged, there's no guarantee the OLPC project would have sold them with that arrangement. I'd buy one, probably even for $300, but I didn't pledge because the pledge was meaningless. This wasn't a matter of greed, this was a matter of an unofficial pledge being advertised on Slashdot as official.
How many people here would take steroids to the point of having those side effects? (one cycle at low dosages can provide significant anabolic gains with few side effects)
Having unprotected sex with strangers has enough side effects, male pill or not.
"A symbiosis rarely occurs and when it does, it's usually forced (humans raising cattle for milk). "
Symbioses happen all the time! Parasites are everywhere. Viruses can't live on their own. Humans raising cattle for milk isn't even novel, ants raise aphids and feed them and then milk them for honeydew. It's even widely believed that mitochondria were once separate organisms that merged with other cells due to a symbiotic relationship.
"There NEVER was a possibility that German would be the official language of the United States, nor was there a vote on such a measure."
"In 1794 some German settlers in Virginia petitioned the U.S. Congress to have certain federal statutes translated into German and printed in both languages. This petition was referred to a committee, which voted the idea down - by a margin of one vote."

That might have worked when people would stand in rows and shoot at each other, but now with guided missiles, tanks, aircraft carriers, bullet proof vehicles and vests, how are your weapons going to help you stand up to the government?

What about businesses? There could easily be businesses that upgrade for whatever reason and have to get rid of 100 old computers.

You can charge a laptop at work, a library, or a coffee place and use a neighbor's wireless.
Safari has tabs, they're just not on by default.

If you call it a gym you're going to have to put TVs everywhere. There goes your electricity.
Then ride a unicycle. It's a little harder for commuting (it's rare to find one with gears), but your hands are free.

I have a 15+ year old TV from a hotel
I've heard of stealing the towels before, but I never thought about the TV...

so if someone forces me to divulge my pin, s/he can just type the code I give him in reverse and get the real PIN?
