'likely to stabilize'? Are you on crack? Congress & O can't even create & pass a budget. They talk about 'saving' a trillion dollars... over 10 years! Our armed forces are still deployed to 3rd-world cesspools that we have no business being in. Debt is going to go up and up until the balloon pops.

no, the GPL is mainly motivated and designed to encourage openness and collaboration among authors. It removes authority: if you wish to use the code, do whatever you want with it, as long as you share the changes with the rest of the people that are interested in it.

I upvoted you, so I think you had some good points. I don't think, however, that our society denigrates sex. I think that what has happened was a cultural response to STDs, and the problem of rearing children. People (in my opinion) naturally pursue what makes them feel good, and sex is our number one feel-good activity. So we've been struggling with how to control it. You see the problems of unrestrained sex now with AIDS, herpes, new antibiotic resistant strains of clap, the rise of single-parent families, etc.

generally accepted advice isn't always right: I put on 17lbs of muscle in three months (Parris Island, SC). I was underweight at the time, and a teenager.

I would agree with that. I have daughters in gymnastics and they are all much more muscular than their non-gymnastics friends. That said, they tend to get injuries when they do high-impact gymnastics skills. They do not do weight-training, which, from my experience, I suspect would help minimize the injuries.

yes, it is interesting. Consider that vitamin C was known to prevent scurvy, but then that knowledge was lost, and rediscovered later on. How much knowledge may be codified in ancient customs, and that we might have forgotten the foundations for that knowledge.
So now that the court agrees that the sentence for hacking email is 10 years, when do we start convicting the entire NSA, AT&T, on up to the Executive head (the President) for doing this to the entire USA? If there is no conviction for these people, then he is clearly not being treated equally under the law, and deserves to be set free.
ladies and gentlemen we have here a clear case where the people in charge have failed to uphold the Constitution of the United States. These people must be forced out of government, and prosecuted for their crimes.

Please vote, and please run for office if you have the fortitude to help us deal with this problem.

in the end, this would mean nothing. Think about it: the President already has an extra-Constitutional kill list, why stop there?
