I also agree with this one. Just under two years ago I was a porky 117 kgs (257 lb) and did almost no exercise except for a few token visits to the gym each week. Bought a push bike and haven't looked back since. Down to 87 kgs (191 lb) and falling. I'm now getting up at 5am for my daily commute to work and some extra training. After joining the local cycling club I've also started bike racing on the weekends. Also... endorphins, better than sex (which coincidently is much better now), they last longer.

An anonymous reader writes "Suppose a commenter posts a libelous comment here at Slashdot. Can Slashdot and its owners be sued for defamation? A federal appeals court just held that no, they cannot. The court noted that a federal law was designed to ensure that 'within broad limits, message board operators would not be held responsible for the postings made by others on that board,' adding that, were the law otherwise, it would have an 'obvious chilling effect' on blogger speech."
