Humanely killed from whose perspective, ours or the animals'? I'm guessing if we could ask, most animals would prefer to live regardless of how painless their death would be or how enjoyable their lives were up until that point. I eat meat

"Wolanyk's attorney said that TSA requested his client put his clothes on so he could be patted down properly...". If this is true that is the most ridiculous request I have ever heard. If I show up to the airport in a speedo bathing suit a

Sure it could have, but that would have made the TSA look even worse imo. I suppose if you go as far as asserting your rights, you have to be prepared to go through whatever comes up.

It's good to be aware of these signs, but sometimes there really is just no warning.

They still have the "other e-mail service" option, I imagine they just moved the functionality to there.

Unless he's kept detailed records then he's working only from memory which is much less reliable than people think and apt to find patterns in mere coincidences.

I might have been inclined to buy the physical book before Amazon came out with the Kindle DX with native PDF support.

That is certainly the impression I have. I wouldn't expect him to be writing production code anymore but I do wonder if he hacks on anything personally or if any of his kids do.

I often wonder why nobody ever asks Steve if he codes when he does an interview. Maybe I should e-mail him.

I think the idea that everyone has some thing that they are deeply passionate about is rather flawed. I think it's nice to have it but it's not necessary and nobody should let it stop them if they don't.

"I've found that the best projects to launch are projects that turn other programmers off" Such as? Just curious to know if the things that turn me off are the same things that turn other programmers off as well.

Then I might suggest you start with this, much smaller, more focused book. You can probably read the entire thing in about an hour or so: http://www.amazon.com/Procrastinators-Digest-Concise-Solving... The authors of both books are good f

Most likely because they didn't bother to actually look at the available evidence.

That is not too surprising. One idea is that the war on drugs is one of those easy sell issues that's always good to have in your back pocket to pull out when you need to be seen taking a strong stance on something. This works for both repu

It's fine to be against something but I think this comes down to basic adult human rights. I have a theory that if it is regulated, kids would actually have less opportunity to use it because in order to get it they would have to find someo

"But be aware that you're missing out." People who choose not to marry or have kids may be missing out on certain aspects of life, but that does not mean their lives will be any less rich.

All of the people I know, myself included, whoever smoked pot went on to become successful, well-adjusted people in society. Do I take that as evidence that people should smoke pot in order to become well adjusted, successful citizens? Of c

I'm not advocating any kid or anyone try anything or be told they should. I'm advocating a policy of drug legalization based on facts, not fear or the assumed "common sense" of the current prevailing religious hedegmony. In any case you are

Is there hard data on what percentage of people who try these drugs become addicted? I think we need to start there. In school we were told of the many supposedly devastating effects marijuana use had but I see now that was clearly a misinf

What is the definition of a "dangerous" drug? If it's addiction you are talking about, I would be willing to bet that most people who try drugs, even the supposedly highly addictive ones, probably do not become the hopeless addicts that peo
