Run, swim, gym and yoga.
If that's too much, just join a Bikram Yoga class and stick with it for a month. It will change your idea about cardio workouts.

Why become a nurse in the first place?
Anyhow, best to step aside and let nature trim the breeding pool. Morons.

Create a Solaris ZFS NAS. Use individual VMs for each application. Do I need to say backups?

Their PR firm get a clue? I'll believe it when I hear sentencing.

Sounds like a secure place. I mean, if that won't slow them, they're screwed anyway.

You clearly have no idea about forums. They are complicated beasts to write and manage and are constant vectors of attack.
Since this sounds like a forum for me and my CS mates. get PHPBB, else IP board.

I know ./ has gone the way of flaming headlines for a while now, but this has to be the most stupid of headlines. We're not replacing a good teacher anytime soon. That said, there's tons of room for E-learning. Not until we're able to electronically download data into our head and somehow program muscle memory and everything else associated with learning a task. There's more to "learning" than we completely understand and a good teacher is worth more than that, they seed and encourage interest in a subject which no flashy visuals will ever accomplish.

As opposed to the really clever idea about windows that open on aircraft. You know, so I can easily free fall with the supplied parachutes in case the plane has an issue.

You're clueless about India. Stop the FUD. India will never "align" with China. China is its biggest threat, not Pakistan. Read up Indian history and its political stances.

How far out around us have we really seen/studied? 250 Mly seems a large area.

Take the only moving part of your PC subsystem and swap it with something that has none. Fans don't count. It is the only upgrade that you will instantly see a significant difference in response times. Seriously, ask your neighbourhood PC gamer. Since OP has issues with fractions, I'll put this succinctly, get an SSD. Whichever one you can afford. Even if you have to move software storage to a seperate disk from OS. I've never tried hybrids, but with 128 GB SSDs under $100 at Newegg, there's never been a better time to lose your HDD as your boot drive.

I'm not shy or unfit and fairly decent at talking to girls anywhere. My not so vast experience with online dating has shown that women tend to behave more picky online than IRL. First there's a ton of more guys, so they're constantly sifting thru guys trying to impress them in their inbox. Most of these girls state all they want is a "nice funny guy". No shit sweetheart. The guys typically browse these sites for an hour or so, perusing the photos and reading the profiles of girls they find attractive in photos. No denying a lot of these guys are unrealistic in their expectations. What I did find, is that the average girls, tend to behave like they're quite hot, perhaps it's their first taste of this much attention and the ability to comfortably ignore a man's intentions. I find it hard to believe they would behave the same if a guy said the exact same thing approaching them in a bar, library.. anyplace. Assuming the guy actually goes up and talks to the girl IRL. Most of my friends just gawk and comment to each other about a new girl they find attractive instead of going and telling her. I prefer the unpretentiousness of meeting in real life. Perhaps there are nice girls out there online, I don't have the energy to craft a witty opener for the 20 girls I see online or the audacity to send them the same message. I rather have an honest profile up and keep my energies focused on socializing IRL and meeting single girls there. It makes the process easier on my time and heart.

Social? Please. The majority of my friends using Facebook couldn't be trusted with advice for my new car, much less anything of more value. I'll do my own searches and filter thru TYVM.

Insightful? How? You can scale, the issue is cost.

.. everything looks like a nail. Perhaps it's time to not evaluate based on results and feedback within a political term. Expecting this unfortunately seems like a pipe dream. http://www.et3.com/ - Evacuated tube transport
