You can smugly assert that you were "secure", but everyone else can smugly assert that "you're doing it wrong!" by not testing or having any kind of backups to rollback any unwanted changes.
Yes - if you can incorporate a form of exercise into your daily routines then it's a lot easier to keep regularly active.
It can also be a lot of fun to just walk/cycle/run somewhere just because you fancy it rather than because you need to go there. I think it increases the enjoyment you get from exercise if sometimes you do it "just because you can".
There's lots of different ways of getting exercise and different methods work better for different people. The trick is to find an activity that you enjoy doing that is also a form of exercise. It can be as simple as walking around exploring your environs, or maybe base jumping is more your style.
I agree that pounding a treadmill in a gym is boring as hell, but put me on a bike with some countryside around and I'm happy as a pig in a Jewish vegan festival.
That's going to take a while to overcome and unfortunately you will have to WANT to overcome it rather than someone just telling you to do so. This is one of the problems of being on the artificial, processed food rollercoaster - once you've been riding it for a while, it's really difficult to change your course.
Exercise should be fun - you just need to find a sport/activity that you enjoy enough so that it doesn't seem like a chore.
Healthy food probably tastes horrible to you as you're not used to it. That's one of the problems with too many sweeteners (sugar and artificial ones) and salt being pumped into everyday food. If you can wean yourself off of the processed food bandwagon, your taste buds will return to a more normal state and ordinary food will begin to taste delicious.
Although there hasn't been any paradigm shifting science come out of the LHC, I wouldn't say there's been zero output. We now have figures for the Higgs that have ruled out a large number of possible theories. Before performing the experiments, no-one knew for sure what the results were going to be - we could easily have had surprising results that disagreed with the Standard Model.
You might think that the statistics are useless, but they're very useful to particle physicists.
It's very difficult to predict which areas of science are likely to produce valuable discoveries. However, due to the incredible success of science throughout the last century (at least) it's quite a safe bet to invest in science and technoloy.
To my mind, it sounds closer to a description of the Tao than what I traditionally think of as God (although I'm an atheist, so my thoughts on God are not really a benchmark). The big problem is that God is such a charged word that carries a lot of baggage with it.
Okay. That's a definition of God that I've never encountered. It doesn't fit well with all the religious stories that tell of an angry vengeful God that sends plagues and demands worship etc.
If God is a shorthand for the ground of being, then why do so many people go to war about which is the correct one and how you should worship him/her/it?
There's a number of different hypotheses for how the big bang got started, but it's tricky to figure out the maths/effects so that we can figure out what fits all our available data. (You can't really explain the existence of a god as there's nothing to measure and no meaningful experiments that can be refuted).
If you don't know what created the creator and yet believe that she exists, then why do you need a creator?
Not only Klinsmann, but the US players wokred incredibly hard.
As a disappointed England supporter, I wish that our team had put in even half the effort of the US team. It especially annoyed me when they put in a lack-lustre performance in their third match because they were already out - if you're a professional footballer (soccerer) and you're playing for your country at the world cup, I don't understand how you can not be excited and thrilled to show your mettle.
Some of us think that nationalism is a sign of immaturity. To think that because you happened to be born on the same land-mass as a bunch of other people, makes you somehow special, is just ridiculous.
They're over in Ireland - we don't really take them seriously. Even when they were exploding US-funded IRA bombs, we just kept a stiff upper lip and refused to be scared by them (I still can't believe that they failed to explode Thatcher with that Brighton bombing).
It makes me laugh that the USA used to be so happy to fund terrorism and now they get so crazy scared of terrorists that they allow their government to run rough-shod all over their constitution.
If you've got a known medical condition that renders you suddenly incapable of safely driving a car without warning, then maybe you should let someone else drive?
I thought it was Labour that try to make the rich richer and accept back-handers from industry leaders? Or was it the LibDems? Maybe I'm just getting confused, but it seems like they're all equally sleazebags and they'll say whatever they think people want to hear.
I'm not sure that analogy works very well as Tor is used for general privacy and there's any number of reasons (legal and illegal) why someone would want some privacy. The sign by your front door should read "Secret passages inside! Great for a bit of privacy with no cameras!".
They should be concentrating on the criminals and not some of the techniques that the criminals may use in pursuit of the crime. Should McDonalds be held accountable for a blackmail email sent from one of its wifi points?
Also, how are they authenticating themselves? Anyone could phone me up and claim to be the Queen of England, but if they want me to follow instructions, they're going to have to prove they are who they say they are.
Also, since when do tech companies phone you up rather than sending you an email? Stupid people are also stupid on the internet.

Their website is down/doesn't exit, so I doubt they've got any market share.

Here's an interesting link about the economic effects of publicly funded science: http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/technology/report/2012/12/10/47481/the-high-return-on-investment-for-publicly-funded-research/
However, science can take a while to pay off, so at the moment, the LHC doesn't look good value, but who knows what we'll be up to in 50 years time?
Repairer of Reputations?
I haven't read all of your post yet (I need to go and cook some dinner etc), but I've had a quick look for Hellbound as it sounds interesting.
Just to confirm - it's not the Chuck Norris film is it?

That's a much shorter explanation that the other reply that I got. However, yours makes much more sense.

Just a quick question - if God created everything, what/who created God? And please, no turtles all the way down.
You had it lucky, I got 10 years for tweeting a recipe using kaffir limes - I had no idea it was an offensive South African word.

Republicans? Are they people who used to run pubs, gave it up, and then got back into running pubs again?
I don't think they hate people who make a living - they're just trying to serve up some booze.

Good point, but as I live in England, I'm officially one of her subjects. To be honest, I don't know who voted her in.
By the way, did Sun Tzu really say that?
