I'm not surprised. The pressure spike from constricting blood vessels probably squeezes more blood through your brain. I used to have low blood pressure so I sometimes excuse my former smoking as self medication. I even got prescription meds for low blood pressure. These days exercise plus caffeine works just as well.
Agreed. However, I think that people with a higher IQ might be more interested in staying current on news, so they should see more of the frequent results on what smoking does to the body. On and really smart kids get by well without doing anything for school so your reward theory doesn't work for them.
does it run Linux? Srsly. Wake me up when it has been cracked and I can run what I want on it. Oh, and when I can buy replacement batteries. Or when HTC or Asus make a clone. That might be easier and cheaper. It just doesn't have the bling.
You may want to compare the safety numbers between large SUVs and trucks versus sedans. Hint: Midsize sedans are safer overall. Your scenario is rare and outweighed by the higher safety of midsize cars in almost every other category.
It took them some time though. 15 years ago they were far behind.
One problem the US manufacturers have is marketing credibility, after selling their high margin heavy low tech crap for decades with "big is good" mantras.
Damn. I just spent my last mod points a few minutes ago. I've become kind of allergic to ads, to the point that I analyze the psychological tricks used when I have to watch any. There's hardly any advertising left that just says, "Hey, I'm selling this great product at a great price." Everything drips with emotions, NLP and other tricks. Like the latest ads where Exxon is trying to sell itself as a high tech company that will fuel clean energy. Jeez.
There was never any discussion of "charging" Jones with anything. Being protective of your work or your data or being an asshole about it is not a chargeable offense and there was never any indication of scientific misconduct. Ever. Every single scientific body that looked into the whole email thing cleared the scientists of wrongdoing.
The real issue was that people listened to Faux News instead of looking at the data (or emails) itself. The data was not distorted, it is a matter of how to interpret data that has uncertainties about it. You can come to any conclusion from "the sky is falling" to "meh" depending on your values and your position.
Ooh, finally a "skeptic" with some sound reasoning. Not "I don't like the political and economic consequences so AGW must be false."
Yours is pretty much the Lomborg position. "AGW is a fact or at least highly probable, the question is how much do we need to do about it, if anything." That's a political/social/economic question - one that politicians might actually be qualified to answer, as opposed to the question if AGW is real.
One thing that irritates me to no end is that there is no mandatory driver's ed in the US. You can tell, coming from Europe. Some people can't do the simplest things, like turning left correctly or braking smoothly. Let alone use the blinkers or obey red lights...
But you'll have less density in terms of computing power, which means more racks and more floor space. I think the trend is toward higher power density. Once you add real estate costs, it is cheaper to run everything on fewer high powered CPUs than many Atoms although it may be less power efficient.
Oops. I'll have to retract that (dunno where I got it from - maybe from HFCS disinformation:) After reading up on fructose metabolism, it seems that fructose is preferentially used for glycogen replenishment in the liver, and after that mostly for triglyceride (aka fat) synthesis. Interesting.
But fructose is easily converted to glucose by the liver so it doesn't make much of a difference. The major difference is that sucrose (glucose+fructose dimer) causes satiety while fructose doesn't.
If I ran Windows I might look into this hypothesis:) My point is, it sometimes also turns on when I don't walk around. Of course it could be just a fat neighbor,

I'm sure other addicts enjoy their line of coke or shot in the arm just as much.
Don't forget what Ozzie said (paraphrasing): "I've been addicted to every drug known to mankind, but giving up smoking was the hardest of all."
Agreed. However, I think that people with a higher IQ might be more interested in staying current on news, so they should see more of the frequent results on what smoking does to the body.

Seeing the gynoid smile made me think of a retarded person or a 3D clip.

But that would be... rational! Logical! Are you crazy? Those things only happen in socialist Europe.

So you're in a better position to judge than the hundreds of scientists who read through the emails and found nothing wrong?
Could you please stop confusing the science with the politics?
Thank you.

The difference is that there will be (are?) good FOSS tools to create HTML5 video.

I'm an engineer/scientist, not a politician, so I prefer facts over spin and wording.
Have you heard of erosion?
If you assume a 1% grade (probably less in lowland areas like Florida), a foot of sea level rise means the coast recedes by 100 feet.
