And in the EU we will celebrate!
It's already high time that you get your GOP back into office, the Dollar is way to high, you are creating way too much jobs and Mr O'Bahma does nto provide us with the level of comedy the world expects of an US president.
Dubya set the stakes very high, IMHO the only thing that could match his performance would be one of these teabaggers. I think that an ideal inauguration would be the guy openly carrying an AK-47 and a baseball hat screaming "Yeeehaaa" while emptying a magazine (into the air or into an appropriately situated choir of first-graders).
God Save the USA!!! (I'm running for popcorn)
Wrong! It's perfect, it shows that he is an open person and more, it shows also that his is not like this Nerd O'Bamer !!!
And anybody saying the contrary is a Socialist Liberal who only wants to take away our guns and discriminate against Christians!
Well, we believe what we see, and what we see is a whole bunch of industries churning out stuff.
I assume that that is a valid reason for believing in the US currency, don't you agree?
OK mate, I am an European and I didn't had a clue either.
And it's not so obvious in the case of Canada, it could have been anything from an association of hobby sealclubbers to the actual national postal service.
Who knows how weird things can get in a country where the toilets flush the other way around !
I was also going to state that one of the basic premises is utterly wrong:
What is strenous? 5 mph? This is 8 km/h or 7:30 min/km (12:05 min/mile)... somebody "jogging" from 2001 to 2015 wouldn't even break sweat at this pace.
My recovery pace is 10 km/h and my heart rate isn't going any higher than 127... Please note that this is way below the heart rate that is considered an "easy" pace (~143 for somebody with a maxHR of 185)
And the more you train the faster you can go at low heart rate. Thus, why are they talking about pace at all? This makes absolutely no sense from a medical point of view: if you want to measure effort you cannot use the parameter speed, exactly as in physics, speed has nothing to do with work.
M-O-O-T
No matter the effect of the internet, this study shouldn't have been published in the first place
Not really when you consider that 15 inches refers to diameter not length. I don't think we have a word for that, well, other than "fatal".
Ever heard of Goatse mate???
Dunno.
I would like to know the implication of that.
I of course abandoned all this "evil" thingy quite some time ago but I am very (and positively) interested in how this move will affect the whole IT landscape.
At least we will see better implementations of Mono and maybe some older games and apps running on Linux
Ships can launch surface to surface missiles and torpedoes as well. Ships are still perfectly capable of killing other ships. They just don't line up and broadside each other with 15 inchers anymore.
Is it only me or does this really sound utterly gay?
have you heard about a thing called Aircraft carriers? Nope? Well, there are normally ships, and rather huge from what I have heard, small town huge.
Dreadmills kill your braincells. Makes you feel like a hamster.
I ran yesterday on one and I am starting to store my lunch in my cheeks.

This study is old as hell and it resurfaces from time to time.It has been debunked so many times that is gets already boring.
What these guys did was "normalizing" the datasets of both, active and sedentary subjects eliminating the effects of smoking, etc, etc. What is compared thus makes no sense as it is not "Sendetary vs Active" but "How would sedentary people compare to active if they weren't dying earlier do to lung cancer and heart disease" or putting it in other words "How would sedentary people do if they weren't sedentary"
The very initial premise makes no sense:
"As part of the Copenhagen City Heart Study, 1,098 healthy joggers and 3,950 healthy nonjoggers have been prospectively followed up since 2001"
How can you compare that? A "healthy non-jogger" may be anything from a runner (don't EVER call us "joggers") to a bodybuilder, cyclist or swimmer, but that's NOT a sedentary person.
By definition an individual that does some activity (and is thus healthy as defined by the standards of physical fitness) is NOT sedentary. Or what is a "healthy sedentary" then? People who just by pure random chance and without doing any sort of sport do not get fat, are nimble, strong, have good balance and don't get sick? I don't say this may
And I assume that these guys aren't going to say that a fat guy with 5 heart bypasses is "healthy"... according to what parameters? Not having got a cold in the last 5 days?
Every 2-3 years a study of this type is made and rapidly debunked... but the target of these is not the scientific or sports communities but the general public and the "Wellness" industry who is eager to give credit to these studies and sell low-ass fitness programs for everybody who is too lazy to do much more than 10 minutes of thumb gymnastics a month giving them a "valid" excuse for being lazy and not feeling guilty about it.
Anyway: This is like the joke of the guy who goes to the doctor and the doctor tells him "You are deadly sick, you will only live for a year" "Can I do something?" "Yes, no sex, no drinks and avoid excitement" "Will I live longer then?" "Nope, but it will look like a hundred years to you"
Well, more than oil what we have is proper beer, and _real_ football
oooooh yeah!!!!
No amount of careful planning will ever replace dumb luck.
