Assuming no cows were harmed in the harvesting of the collagen, it might very well be as vegetarian as cheese or milk - vegans would still find something to complain about, though.
This makes complete sense to me. History is replete with examples of leaders who did not learn to exploit new technology, new fields of battle, and paid the price for it. Expanding your capabilities to use and defend against attacks in information technology is just an extension of the principle of finding a bigger stick.
Like all good science, that's true in an ideal world. In reality, it's a bit more complex. Stop eating so much and your metabolism slows, which means you burn less and need to eat less still. In fact, it's quite possible to starve to death with excess body fat still in place, simply because your metabolism slows too much and available energy stores aren't being depleted.
Weight loss requires the one-two punch of diet and exercise. Dieting reduces intake, and exercise burns energy and, crucially, maintains metabolic rate. Dieting can't do it alone, and nor can exercise, for that matter.
The report tells us nothing new - this has all been known for a long time.
There are other more practical and earthly ramifications: those who wilfully sin and refuse to repent are not fit for membership (much less leadership) in the church body.
The great thing about the church is that it is (currently) not mandatory, and free-thinking sinners such as myself can happily opt out. The problem comes when people demand lawmakers enact laws reflecting or promoting religious ideals that are unfair to people who believe differently.
When you don't offer people compensation for the utter destruction of their social lives required to seriously pursue science, they gravitate toward management.
That's nonsense - you can't destroy something you never had.
So... the sociologists say there's too many technical scientists? That's just what I'd expect from those namby-pamby girly-haired soft-science types! I'll bet they've got a correlation study and everything. Well, maybe the technical scientists say there are too many sociologists? And we've got freaky equations and stuff.
Yeah!
Who you going to believe, pretty demographics charts or complicated equations? Eh? EH?
As Phil Platt pointed out in his book, meteors (unless they're really huge) are typically cold to the touch by the time they hit the ground. Even if it had enough kinetic energy to make a huge crater, the meteor would have pulverised itself and its fragments quickly cooled.

Wait, now I'm confused. I'm not seeing many starving people in the streets. I see lots of homeless people without large economic resources, but I haven't seen anyone around here who is actually starving. And yes, I know what starving people look like from my time living in Thailand and travelling in Laos.
In the western world the poor are not starving; in other parts of the world, they are. It is possible to raise the standard of living and lower the cost of food so that everyone can afford it - arguments like yours are both wrong and counter productive. It doesn't have to be that way.

"Spamdaid"?
Even if he had a million dollars, it's not illegal to transport money domestically. It may not be smart, but it's no business of the government.

The fact that he sleeps with hippie chicks places him head and shoulders over the average /.er

That's what I thought! Then when Goo becomes popular and well known, they can make an aggregator for it called World of G-
I think they should rename it to "Goog".

Gack! I should not have read that while drinking. Now I need to clean my monitor - bravo!
I find the low score for Aussie plugs surprising. I wonder if they're examining the new (shielded conductor) plugs, or the old unshielded ones.
Damn that MacGuffinn. I've been chasing it all these years and I've never seen the wretched thing.
Yup - that's the killer application.
Change "Johnny nervously wrinkled his brow as he reached for his Coke" into "Johhny nervously wrinkled his brow as he reached for his Pepsi".
If this doesn't happen, I will eat my hat/del/ ACME Brand Prestige Fedora TM.

I'm calling hoax on this one.
Least coherent summary ever. I read it twice and I'm still not sure I understand what we're talking about.
Great! Only one more to go and we can start researching powersuits and UFO construction.
I prefer to shoot them in the head.
Wow. I was modded down 'overrated'. I've gotta start using sarcasm tags.
I wonder where all that waste heat will go. I know - let's just make a huge refrigerator and leave the door open. That'll cool things back down again!
So what you're saying is don't build swimming pools in dry areas?

Also the case for me - I review each and every update to make sure it's something I really want/need.
