The rate of infection you refer to is probably the rate of detected infections. The true infection rate is probably higher. What else do you suggest than herd immunity? The only other solutions I see is containing the virus, which is very hard at this point, or developing a vaccine, which will also take some time.
I wonder if they have some system in place to notice and counter-act this.
Is that so? I recently bought some fake-plastic bags made out of plant matter (not fossilized mind you) in the hope that they would be more environmentally sustainable. As I remember it, googling did not turn up any conclusive evidence to the contrary. Why do you think banning plastics would be a bad idea?
While what you say is true, taking public transport makes people move around more: going to/from the bus-stop, changing at connections, standing up in the metro instead of sitting etc.
Here is a study on this subject: http://www.bmj.com/content/349/bmj.g4887
Its conclusion: "Men and women who commuted to work by active and public modes of transport had significantly lower BMI and percentage body fat than their counterparts who used private transport."

Would be nice to have a counter of the number of forgotten songs, updating in realtime.

The other commentators haven't mentioned the fact that perhaps you could instead try to accept the fact that there is nothing wrong with being mediocre. By definition, most people are. Try to look into why you fear being mediocre? Also, perhaps you just happen to perceive yourself as mediocre? Sometime the want for change is the ill that needs to be addressed, and not the perceived faults in yourself. Good luck however you proceed!

In that case, wouldn't the furnace also be hot enough to melt the photographer?

Weirdly enough, I fear losing my hands more. Even thought it is far less likely.
Can you tell us more about your experiences with FLOW3? I work a TYPO3-shop, but hadn't had the chance to use neither ExtBase or FLOW3 much, but it looks exciting, at least after some superficial glances.
Screenshots and more information would be very nice!
Of course, doctors should just give the patient whatever he asks for. What does all those years of medical school matter, this guys runs a blog and he has done research before going to the doctor!

Seems like a glorified back-button to me.
I guess this will be terribly slow in Internet Explorer.
I've been using ninjawords[1] for awhile now. Looks like they have pretty similar source material, but ninjawords actually feels much faster.

Great, but what is it? What problem does it solve? It may be obvious for you and me, but not for everyone.

Do you have any more info on this? Sounds interesting!
My dad was a workaholic, he dived into work instead of working stuff out with me and the rest of my family. Maybe he could give you a few pointers.

I need to hold a presentation (~15 min) on a programming language of my own choice, for a programming languages course. The language should not be one which all in audience should be familiar with, such as Java, C or Haskell. The language presented should either be:
1) An interesting main-stream language, used in industry etc.
2) Interesting out of an academical viewpoint.
3) Historically...
