Tivoization is clearly going against the intention of GPL. They should have used BSD licensed code to do what they wanted as people who write GPL code don't intend their code to be locked down by anyone.
Not such a great way as it adds to impacts when walking/jogging/running and can cause joint point. My vote is for cycling - if you replace driving with cycling you can get a lot of exercise without taking too much extra time to do it.
Sorry, that doesn't make much sense to me. The angle that the crank connects to the chain ring would only be relevant if the chain ring is non-circular or the crank doesn't connect to the centre of it.
However, as the chain ring is circular (for every bike that I've seen), it doesn't make any difference at all. Splined cranks can be mounted at a variety of orientations with regard to the chain ring, but the only difference it makes is if you don't mount the other crank at 180 degrees to it. Sometimes people will rotate round the chain ring when it gets worn out as the wear won't be even due to the different forces related to the pedal positions
The only time you're going to effect the biomechanics and efficiency is if you change the crank length or go to a non circular chain ring.
I ride a unicycle as well as a normal bike and on a unicycle the crank length is more crucial as it affects the gearing (which on a fixed wheel unicycle is related to the wheel size). Again, though, a "phase shift" will only affect the wear on the wheel/tyre and not affect biomechanics at all.
If you were to trace the position of the foot relative to the bottom bracket (centre of the chainrings), then your foot would trace out a circle. You can get the exact same pedalling motion by making a straight crank (which would use less metal, be more rigid and lighter).
But not likely. Nearly all examples of flexing do convert energy into heat. For bikes, you usually want components to be as stiff and as light as possible.
The only way I can see crank flex helping would be to try to even out the force applied whilst pedalling, but I don't see how a crank deforming would help with that. The usual way to try to even out the pedalling forces is to use an ellipsical chainring, but they're not very popular due to the extra metal/expense/weight and not much advantage.
I agree with your sentiment - there are a lot of knee-jerk reactions when a highly publicised event happens like this.
The age is important because people get very emotional over children and tend to feel overly protective of them. There's also the aspect that children haven't lived as long and so have "more" of their life ahead of them (or not in this case).
I'm conflicted over the gun control issue. On the one hand, I live in the UK and the amount of gun crime in the USA seems ridiculous to people outside of it. On the other hand, I can see a very valid reason as to why the constitution ensures the right to bear arms.
Unfortunately, media, politics and logic can't operate together.
What's probably even more important than the "healthiness" of the food is the quantity. That said, it's difficult to get/be overweight if you're just eating fresh fruit and vegetables.
I don't understand - why can't public transportation work over long distances? I would have thought the opposite would be true. If you only need to make a 10 minute journey, then public transport isn't optimal, whereas a 2 hour journey makes waiting 30 minutes for a bus/train/plane far more feasible.
Planes work well as public transport over long distances, so why is America too vast?
Sugar isn't used as much as HFCS due to its price.
I've got a theory that artificial sweeteners train the appetite and body the wrong way. When you get used to having a sweet flavour and your body isn't getting as many calories as expected, I believe that your appetite increases to try to balance it out. I'd much rather use sugar as a sweetener as then your body associates sweetness with extra calories which is natural.
However, it's easy to train yourself to get used to and enjoy foods and drinks without added sweeteners (artificial or not). I can't stand drinking fizzy soda these days - just give me super strong black coffee instead.
It makes me chuckle that Zen magnets (those little spherical rare earth magnets) are banned as a few kids swallowed them (despite the warnings that they are not kids toys), yet even after mass shootings no-one wants to discuss gun control.
You're making a big assumption about the link between "catching" the flu and re-transmission. It might be possible to infect other people while your body is fighting it - we could do with a study to confirm/deny this as it's not as simple as you're stating.
I should have used the word "tumour" instead of "cancerous lumps", but it is possible for malignant tumours (i.e. cancerous) to progress slowly enough that they don't have any effect during the patient's lifetime. However, the problem is that breast screening won't identify which lumps are benign or malignant.
No, your analogy is a bit off - it would be more like spraying the firemen's houses with water. You're most likely correct about fewer people with the disease leading to a lower spread rate, but it might be more cost effective to get people to wear face masks (e.g. the Japanese tend to do this whenever they've got a sniffle) than inoculating the nurses.
I most certainly do not fail to realise the link between the well-being of medical staff and the provision of health care. If that is the main concern, then I would posit that enforcing healthy diets and exercise regimes to the nurses would be far more cost effective than giving them flu shots. Exercise and healthy diets would help prevent a wide variety of ailments rather than just the narrow range of flu viruses in a flu shot.
Maybe you would benefit from using your brain and actually thinking about this rather than just assuming that a different view is necessarily wrong.
I think you meant to write "Clearly you do not have personal experience knowing someone who chose to destroy their life with Meth, which is not Adderall".

Bereft of its original meaning? You're obviously referring to celebrating the god Saturn which the christians perverted into the current mess.
Pictures please

No, there's absolutely no difference.

Can everyone just stop using the work "fuck" so much? It makes you sound like a bunch of cunts.
What's probably even more important than the "healthiness" of the food is the quantity. That said, it's difficult to get/be overweight if you're just eating fresh fruit and vegetables.
If it doesn't rot, it's not good food.
That's because living in Scotland takes the sting out of death.
These aren't accidents! They're throwing themselves into the road glady! Throwing themselves into the road to escape all this hideousness!

Generally speaking, violence and especially killing is a lot worse than taking nude photos.
I also see no reason to ban guns based on child pornography, however children getting killed is a valid reason to re-visit opinions on gun control.

What other kind of banning could have occurred? As far as I know, they can't be bought in the USA, so I'm not seeing what you mean by "only".
Personally, I think the ban is silly, but it's a comical contrast with the obvious dangers of guns.
It makes me chuckle that Zen magnets (those little spherical rare earth magnets) are banned as a few kids swallowed them (despite the warnings that they are not kids toys), yet even after mass shootings no-one wants to discuss gun control.
There should be a '+1 Bill Hicks Quote' mod for times like this.
It depends on where in the world you are and who your friends are.
There's a more interesting Ruby exploit (http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/57187) that can allows remote command execution.
Small?

I would guess that the STD clinic staff wouldn't have any issue with that policy either.

Best post I've read for ages and here I am with no mod points.
