I am not sure this could help your case. Auto-immune diseases are a matter of miss-identification, that is, your immune system attacks your own body. That is, your immune system isn't stronger or so much different from others, it just targets the wrong cells. So, since this protein seems to be just the weapon used by the immune system, anything based on it (if for example you were given a medication to reduce the presence of this protein), that would reduce your entire immune system's ability to fight disease, and that would be a much bigger risk than your current one.
Because the communist regimes throughout the world were growing and oppressing millions of people, and stopping said encroachment was the morally superior thing to do?
Bullshit. Communism isn't evil or oppressive, at least no more than capitalism. The only country in the world that says "Communism is evil" as a motto is the US. Sure, there are particular cases like Stalin, but that has nothing to do with Communism itself. Besides communism isn't so different from what you guys have: In communism, the state controls money, wealth and production. In corporate USA, corporations take the role of the state and control money, wealth and production.
So maybe we should have let the Germans walk all over Europe, cleansing all the Jews in the process. "Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer!" and all that. And I'm sure France (and the majority of Europe) wouldn't have fought to the last man during WWI, or anything, had the US not stepped in with substantial aide.
Guess what? It wasn't the US that stopped the Nazis. It was the Russians. Read some history, and you'll understand that simple fact.
Regarding Perl Harbor, the USA was providing financial aid and weaponry to Japan's enemies (China and the UK). Roosevelt insulted Japan everytime he got some camera time (AKA all the fucking time). There are many sources that say that the US knew about the attack, and allowed it to happen to be able to enter the war.
Maybe you will believe someone in the forces? Here you go:
One perspective is given by Vice Admiral Frank E. Beatty, who at the time of the Pearl Harbor attack was an aide to the Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox and was very close to President Franklin D. Roosevelt's inner circle, with perspicuous remarks as: "Prior to December 7, it was evident even to me... that we were pushing Japan into a corner. I believed that it was the desire of President Roosevelt, and Prime Minister Churchill that we get into the war, as they felt the Allies could not win without us and all our efforts to cause the Germans to declare war on us failed; the conditions we imposed upon Japan — to get out of China, for example — were so severe that we knew that nation could not accept them. We were forcing her so severely that we could have known that she would react toward the United States. All her preparations in a military way — and we knew their over-all import — pointed that way."
Now, about this:
The US has done more than any force (except for the British Empire) in the past several centuries to keep the world regionally stable and people world-over fed and un-oppressed.
You are delusional. Let me guess, you also believe that god is real, your government is honest, and santa loves you and brings you toys?
See, your reasoning is wrong. You say that you know what you are talking about because you are enlisted on the navy. That doesn't make you an informed person. That makes you brainwashed, and a potential murderer.
I love the way you talk with that big macho style, it's a classical in all the small minded people that sign up on the military. You have to make up for that small penis of yours, so you need big weapons and a bad guy attitude.
But all that attitude and the fact that you've been brainwashed already changes nothing. Facts are facts, and, in your own words, it's not the world that is fucking with the US, it's the US that is fucking with the rest of the world. Remember operation condor? The CIA has been organizing coup d'etats around the world for 50 years. You have an active intelligence, economic and military presence all over the world.
Let's take Iraq as a quick example:
Iraq was an awesome place on its own since the dawn of civilization. 6000 years ago, they were the most advanced civilization on earth. They were invaded by just about everyone: The Sumerians, the Persians, the Romans, The Mongols, The Ottomans. But throughout all that time it was pretty clear: They were part of one empire, then they become part of another empire. In the meanwhile, they went on with their lives, and every single culture that invaded them preserved their amazing cultural heritage. Then your country's daddy and mentor in the imperialism game (The UK) first fucked up Iraq, invaded, overthrown the government, and left a puppet as dictator. That was that until the US helped Saddam Hussein murder everyone else and take power. And he was a happy puppet of the US, until he revealed against you, so you had to put him down. And there you are. In Iraq. In 6000 years, after hundreds of invasions, yours caused more damage than all the others put together. You carpet-bombed the place destroying invaluable pieces of history and art.
So, are you trying to tell me that somehow "Iraq fucked with your country?". Also, you talked about Terrorists, but the terrorists that attacked your country weren't from Iraq. They were form Saudi Arabia. But of course, you can't attack that country because they own a big chunk of the USA's economy, and the Bushes and other bastards are close friends with them, because of their ongoing and fruitful oil business. Therefore you attacked Afghanistan. A piece of Arid land that has already been attacked throughout the 20th century by every country with an army plus the boy scouts, and were there's little left standing. You were there to find an ex-CIA that you trained to murder and destroy, all surprised that he did exactly that.
Now, can you explain to me again how it is that your innocent country is just trying to defend itself?
Google drove around and recorded all traffic on an open, public frequency. If the information you are broadcasting is private, enable authentication on your wifi. Google didn't 'capture emails'. They captured raw wifi traffic on several frequencies, and some idiots were sending email on unprotected networks... well, it's their fault.
Dude, if you are looking for bodyweight exercises or dietary recommendations, you are by definition a fucking asshole, and I hope you find nothing but viruses.

I know this guy thinks it's "cute" and that it's all "artsy" or something. But It's not. It's just fucking stupid. Why would I want to go to a dark alley on new work to plug my laptop into a usb port sticking out of a wall?
First, the US hasn't fought a single legitimate war in the last 65 years. Give me one good reason to fight the vietnam war. There were none. The reasons to fight that war were simple: We have too much ammunition and a huge stack of weapons, and we need to keep buying more from our friends at several companies so we can get even richer, you know, it's our way of stealing money from this country, so we are going over there to murder your children, but if anyone asks, the official reason is that your economic system is evil.
Same shit for every other war the US has fought. The same is actually true for WWII, you were dying to get into that war, and tried hard until you found a good excuse. Same thing in WWI, you actually sent the Lusitania knowing that it would get destroyed in order to get into the fucking war.
Humanitarian efforts? Fuck of, you fucking hypocrite.
Or you are talking about the "they are niggers, let them die" policy used in New Orleans after Katrina?
The US military for 2010 was 685.1 BILLON. Got that? 685.1 BILLON. Haiti's GDP is ~6BILLION. Ok? Got that? Haiti's GDP is less than 1% of the money the US spends on murdering people every year. If the US military had done any amount of actual work in Haiti, it would be MORE than noticeable. All they did was send a few planes, then cancel them.
The only reason the US military exists is to maintain the very profitable war industry, which keeps the right pockets full. It also takes care of shaping the political layout of the world so that certain markets such as oil can stay extremely profitable for the US.
The modern world is, whether we like it or not, run by corporations. So, we have corporations like Lockheed Martin developing more weapons to pollute the earth and murder innocent children overseas. Others, like Microsoft, Apple and Oracle are actively trying to remove our personal freedoms, to control our every thought with DRM, to destroy free software, to be the real owners of our computers, cellphones, servers, and other gadgets.
On the other hand, we have companies like Google. Don't get me wrong, I'm not buying into the do no evil bullshit, but I can see what they do on my own: They help Free Software projects get where they are going to, they defend free standards, they donate code to the community, they provide valuable services that we use everyday at no cost. And they keep their ads to a minimum, Google is the only company that run ads that don't make you want to tear your eyeballs off. And all it takes to get rid of them is 30 seconds to install adblock.
Really, I have NOTHING bad to say about google. I use their search engine, their email service for both my personal and my company's email, I use google talk, google trends, Android, I am writing this on Chrome, I use google desktop, google maps, Picasa, Youtube, and countless other services and products from Google. And I haven't ever paid a single buck to them. And I block the fucking ads. They are managing to provide countless awesome services, do shitloads of research, and contribute more than anyone else to the Free Software community and to the world. And they are doing that on ads.
People is worried about user privacy, but Google has the best privacy record ever. Mention one single event in which google misused users data? The kind of thing google is doing can't be done without access to user's information. You want your email on the cloud (and you don't want to pay for a dedicated server + bandwidth?). Your data will need to be in somebody's server. Sorry, there's no other way.
And regarding that stupid comment saying that users can't tell the difference between content and advertising? Come on. Adblock can easily tell the difference, and it's a stupid script. My fucking bayesian filter can differentiate content from Spam. If your users can't tell the difference, your users are too fucking stupid.
Two words: extreme paranoia. Don't get me wrong, it's awesome. But it's frightening too. And when you get to that level often, it's time to quit coke forever.
When you have been in a dark room for 10 straight hours, sweating like a pig, absolutely convinced that outside is a swat team trying to get a head shot on you, and you can see the lasers upon your body, and at one point you are sure that you have developed the ability to sense IR on your skin, and are using that ability to track who is trying to kill you, you will understand.
A device that allowed you to listen to music without disturbing others. Some kind of very small speakers that you can put very close to your eardrums. Oh well, we'll have to do with freaking cones of silence.
My personal record: 17 days. I certainly don't remember, but based on my average at that time, I think it took me at least 50 grams, probably a lot more.
The hallucinations after the first 5 days are just awful.
Believe this guy, you don't want to go through that.
I am not a military anything, therefore I am more qualified to speak than anyone in the military. By definition, someone in the military is a murderer. Therefore, their best interest isn't our best interest.
I can tell you exactly how many missiles any country needs: ZERO.
Impossible, because there are no gods. Although, in your defense, we did invent god before we wrote the first algorithm. Once we reached the point in evolution where we could formally express an algorithm, god already sounded like a ridiculous idea to us. Only very primitive minds, like yours, can believe in such a ridiculous idea.
Agreed on the network-dependent part. Bandwidth is usually not the problem, with high-compression codecs and good silence detection you can squeeze voip on plain old GPRS (I've done it using GSM and g729). Latency is always your biggest enemy. Remember, you are measuring your latency up to your server, from there, you have to add termination latency, which of course varies according to your destination. Calling overseas becomes an issue, because you'll be dealing with at least 200ms from 3G latency + another 150-250ms to the destination. I guess it all comes down to your phone usage (that is, what kind of destinations you call) and what coverage you have on your area. In my case, I mostly deal with companies (that tend to use VoIP on their side, that means increased latency), and the coverage in my area isn't great sometimes (Buenos Aires, Argentina), so I have to deal with > 500ms overall (that is, phone to phone, counting 3G latency, termination, endpoint latency, etc). Unusable for ~50% of my calls. I just said fuck it, and went back to using my cellphone carrier.
Except that 3G tends to have a very shitty latency.
I've worked on VoIP for almost 10 years now. I've tried to pass voice through mobile networks since the times of CDMA 1X. It just doesn't work very well. 3G is a huge improvement, and it all depends on what network you are on, and your current signal, but don't expect it to work like a regular call.
Regarding asterisk on a VPS, that shouldn't be a problem.
