If people don't want to use it then nobody else can force them. Or care, come to that. I'll continue to use it no matter how specious the arguments for not using it become.

Yes but that's an even stupider name.

Nothing inspires more confidence in a complex cryptographic system than a name like "CipherShed.'

At least they did not call it The Gimp.

Well, that's one way of going over your manager's head (that is to say, through it)

Actually, coffee may be part of that.

Turns out that coffee delays the build up of some chemical that makes you tired... i.e. it makes your body clock run slow, when taken in the morning.

However, if you take it late at night, before you go to bed, then the level of that chemical goes down more quickly and you'll wake up earlier the next day. Surprisingly it doesn't make it that much harder to go to sleep either, although if you're not already tolerant to coffee, all bets are off on falling asleep promptly.

Other things that affect the body clock are light, and food (big breakfasts are good for waking up early the next day, skipping breakfast = super bad).

So when do you ride down Electric Avenue on that Harley?

I was going to respond only to your first paragraph, but your last paragraph proves what I'm about to say.

Abstinence education can work, when you encourage critical thinking along with it and do not try to use ignorance to protect innocence. I took what I learned after I was married in Catholic NFP classes, and am using it to teach my special needs son about sex. Being well aware that his body will outpace his mind and critical thinking skills on this issue, I started early with my form of abstinence education- about age 5. Now at 11, he is both protective of his own eyes (hiding during certain scenes in Big Bang Theory, a show he otherwise enjoys) and protective of other people's modesty (necessary, since mommy runs a daycare) . He's already run into homosexuality at school, and handled it by coming to adults with the issue rather than attempting to dissuade a rather aggressive same-age predator on his own.

I have no doubt whatsoever that by high school, he'll be a leader, not a follower, when it comes to sex, and will be armed with the ability to make the correct decision when it comes to abstinence before marriage.

But only because we've talked about it, and because I've been honest.

How much math does it take to use a slingshot?

Yeah, can't figure out how a gender studies major ever gets anything other than the type of job gender studies are supposed to eliminate.

Realizing there's a commercial opportunity to take advantage of, you mean?

Just because my phone is traveling in a vehicle, does not mean that I am driving or even IN said vehicle.

Just on Oracle employees and board members instead of HP.

Because sharks are too unreliable, and you always need a bigger boat than you think you will.

Interesting note: There are countries that provide universal health care where the government owns all the hospitals and clinics and there are countries where it doesn't. Universal health care doesn't require that the government own the health care infrastructure. The government only needs to take over the primary health care insurance market.

Another interesting note: Many of the countries with universal health care still have for-profit supplemental health care coverage for the things that are not covered by the universal system.

The Christian Right are just harmless buffoons. ISIS are murderous fucks just need to die, already. That's it - nothing more to talk about. Shitty Muslim death-cult with nothing to offer, going nowhere fast.
