I know you weren't looking for an answer like this. but what can I say?. I pass most of my day sitting in front of a computer, I also have a tendency to be slightly overweighted .
I read about Montignac Diet, found the book, downloaded it, read it, got convinced by it, tried it, and now I'm a fanatic. (in the good sense). it worked. actually It's more a change of food habit than a diet "per se".
anyway, enough with the spam. good luck with whatever you decide.

I've been living in cuba for the last 6 years. I've been using linux since the slackware 100 diskettes era (about 12 years ago).

• cuba is absolutely windows friendly. everybody in everywhere uses windows. The goverment itself announced a few years ago it was going to migrate to linux. So far nothing yet.
• cuba works around the embargo thing by means of massive pirate copies (I'm perfectly OK with that).
• it's a usual thing to announce something with great fireworks that ends up in nothing, so I would have not so many expectations on this .

All this buzz about creationism, faith and evolutionism is very hard to understand for me .
I'm spanish, I've hold to a very very strong or hard line or -whatever you want to call it- believing system (also known as "faith").
Neither me or anybody I would meet in my entire life , wherever is in spain or cuba or any other country (mostly european) I've been into had any kind of the slightlest "issue" about evolutionism versus creationism.
Everybody takes darwing ok, and we look at that "US controversy" as something funny and hard to understand
Besides that, I wonder if that "previous" change that was needed can somehow be needed to a "special event" on the environment.
