While I completely agree that there are countless benefits (on many levels) to calory restriction as a way of life, especially in combination with physical activity, I was mainly concerned with the educational element of the issue - given how many people either don't realize these benefits or have a hard time keeping a safe distance from sugars, junk and food in general during most hours of the day.
On the other hand, it would be interesting to hear the ways fellow./'ers think are best to jointly counteract the media's relentless encouragement to consume (and this is not limited to just food).
Also, given how expensive it would be we'd also be better off finding some real use for that money. Planting a few trees, instead of concrete, building some green buildings, preventing obesity?

I wonder how many of those booth designers fail to protect their own piece during promiscuous relationships. Are they're too naive to think most people run, much less bother to update their own AV software? They clearly haven't gone out much or been responsible enough at it... FAIL.
Economics. Sorry for being obvious but I guess it doesn't make economic sense in most cases repayng years of some of the most expensive (though not the worst...) education available and at the same time paying pretty high taxes, when they can find developers in Russia, India or Ukraine at a fraction of the cost.

On second thought, adapting an expression I'd heard quite a few times - "fix your karma before helping others". So my conclusion is that it would be unlikely. Interesting insight though.

I wonder if they can write 5 point comments for me?
As somebody has reasonably pointed out, any sort of modulation can be used to transceive data, and as such connect to the Net (or be used P2P with directional antenna's and whoever monitors frequencies in France would almost probably never know). There are a number of well established schemes to send data and/or voice over ham, which are supported by a multitude of equipment manufacturers.
EchoLink, for instance (as supported by my Yaesu VX6:), is one out of several schemes to enable a ham operator to communicate with anyone on another side of the globe (not to mention another province or state) via the use of VOIP. which is supported by many an equipment manufacturers (such as my Yaesu VX6;), but there are many others - eQSO and IRLP to name the popular ones with open source software readily available for a number of platforms.
Somehow it seems France's lack of RIAA's radio modulatory equivalent is pushing them to come up with novel ways to knock off cash out of people who have not only used, but invented these technologies in the first place (EchoLink and IRLP were created by radiomateurs).
Nothing gets the government scared like a big steam of bad press
As much as I want to agree there is a thin line between the right to freedom becoming a privilege [of those who know their laws and can effectively challenge law enforcement] or disappearing completely to intimidating tactics we've all witnessed in recent weeks (G20, Toronto)
Now, unless one wants their country joining the likes of Russia, where journalist homicide has become normal practice, with six having been killed this year alone (9 the previous year), giving them as much bad press as possible should be the least we can do stand up for our rights (especially if you don't know them!).
As my grandfather tends to say (quoting somebody famous probably) - "there is just one step from comedy to tragedy". Adapt it as you will to the context, but the UK seems to have taken two steps too many in that direction in recent history. And that's just what made it to the press!
Does it come with pills to make more neurons so an average user can actually use it before losing interest for what would otherwise be lengthy learning process? (you've all heard what technology is doing to your brains, right?)

For those who haven't made the switch yet - it's 0:0 to Spain.
Or get your hands dirty with some DIY Drones?

Well yeaaahh - did you see the original picture? Glad that got cleared up :)
That being said, it did provide some great amusement value too: image
I agree, that may have upset some people also, thanks. (though they should know where they come to get their news, heh)
As if the word "whore" hasn't been mentioned enough times here. (exactly 1700 if you don't want to click on the "enough times" syntagm).

You have to admit ./ lags at least a few days behind on spy-related stories. Oh, unless these are lated to WoW and nethack, of course...
In Soviet Russia spies expose you! These men are decoys, thanks anyway.
I wonder how many "american spies" the Russians will expose now to return the favour...
Does that mean I won't have to rely on Flash for pr0n now, saving a kW or two and reducing my carbon footprint?

Just for the note, RAID capacity is almost always smaller anyway, e.g. when mirroring/error checking is used, which is almost always the point.

An average woman wouldn't be that smart. Although you never know on ./...
This reminds me of a famous joke and variations thereof, (at least around eastern europe):
A man is asked on the street: What is the probability you will come across a dinosaur on the street today?
The man replies: less than 0,000000001%
When a woman is asked the same question, she replies:
50% - I either will or I won't.
So, really, it depends on who you ask.
Except it's not much use when your 20% of browsers are still on IE6 (stats).
