Comment: works for me.

Or you can just install heating elements that come on during freezing conditions. That's how we solved that problem in Cascadia.

Most things that are perfect *are* theoretical.

Most modern encryption isn't cracked by breaking the technology used to encrypt it. Security is only as secure as the pain tolerance of the person who knows the PIN, or the size of the visor that is suppose to hide the numbers you press from the person in line behind you.

Getting a real ID for a deceased person might not even be all that hard. I remember when I went in to get a driver's license all they wanted was stuff I could obtain without verifying my identity independantly. The process could follow along these lines:

1. Find the name of a person that died very young and born about the same time as you.

2. Send a letter to the county health office of that person's birth requesting a copy of that person's birth certificate, as if you were that person. They don't bother to track if any of those people are now deceased and even if they do I don't think it'd be marked on the certificate, and you could claim to be a family member doing geaneology stuff or something.

3. Send a letter to Social Security requesting a number for your new identity. This could be tricky and is why you want the name of a deceased person who died very young. If they were never issued a SSN then it won't be listed as belonging to a deceased person.

4. Take your birth certificate and SSN card and get your state issued perfectly legit ID card.

The older you are the more difficult this can be since requesting a SSN for a middle aged person might raise some eyebrows. And the lack of a credit history or much of anything relating to that name could pose an issue for any kind of serious backgroud check.

That's a big assumption, though. Look at the current state of health in this country. Our baseline is *waaaaaay* below that. For the average overweight, malnourished, sleep-deprived adult, any one of those boring answers would result in a very noticeable improvement.

Assuming you already have someone who has properly cared for their body, my next step would be to train the mind. Try an assortment of methods to improve the efficiency with which you think. Play with things like mnemonics to help your memory, for example.

Another boring answer, I know, but I see artificial solutions as a proper choice only when you have exhausted the natural solutions. Much like the focus on muscle size. I'd rather take X pounds of muscle and learn how to utilize it twice as efficiently than ingest some random magic powder to double my muscle mass while remaining at the baseline efficiency.

If the LED's can handle additional current, what about a dimmer switch? If they can crank it up so it temporarily uses as many Watts as a normal bulb, it should generate the same amount of heat. Even if they can't get the power that high, higher brightness levels may be enough to be visible through the snow.

Actually, I was thinking something a bit different, but similar. Sometimes the fun happens in the preparation of the product rather than raw ingredient. What part of the plant was used? When the supplement standardizes specific components, are those the right ones? Do those components need other factors in a specific ratio and minimum amounts to be effective? Maybe the effects only work on Asians (given that lactose intolerance can be generalized by geographic/racial backgrounds, maybe that's not so far fetched).

Not to say that ginkgo's hype isn't overdone tremendously, or that this report isn't spot on, but the news reports of the test aren't quite right either.

I haven't seen any Ginkgo tablets or information saying it's supposed to be any good for Alzheimer's. The study does not cover younger people, rather just the old. And that's fine in context. Ginkgo will not help people overcome cognitive issues due to Alzheimer's or advanced age. Great. Save money. At least it's not contributing to a bad life. Again, the studies only show that's it's not effective in these cases, not that it's never effective.

As always, science is all about how you split the hair, and there's nothing wrong with that when presented as such. "Common sense", while a potentially helpful myth, also told us the world was flat and that we couldn't fly. Picking apart the myths and truths of ginkgo will help in finding something that does what the marketers advertise, even if it leads back to just sipping ginkgo tea in a garden.

Its varying definitions of IT. To some, IT includes software development (which I typically think of as more of engineering, not IT). It also includes help desk, as well as standard IT (supporting applications/networking/servers/backups, etc)

The problem isn't reading one book. The problem is unemployment, a lack of social ties, and other social inadequacies. The vast majority of people who put 100% faith in the Quran, Bible, or Tanakh are perfectly normal people.

The vast majority of people who are unemployed, have no ties to the society they live in, and are under significant stress from trying to cope with the every day pressures, are not perfectly normal people. Of this sub set, some are Christian, some are Jewish, some are Muslim, and some aren't any of those.

Crazy people are crazy people, regardless of which book they read.

Lobbying should absolutely be banned, I can't believe people have stood for it this long.

Found spade marks on the side of the "crater". After about an hour of examining the crater, investigators concluded it was a fake. . Okay, it's Fox news, but there are other news sites stating the same thing.
