  1. Well the obvious supplement would be milk, however it's not a great idea to drink lots of milk if you're an *adult. I usually have a couple of glasses of skimmed milk a week. *I remember a case of a man dying due to drinking full fat milk everyday, he was only in his thirties and needless to say it was his arteries that simply couldn't take any more. Ashennell it's interesting you made the comment about managers and height, I was thinking just the other day how tall all the 'heads of' are at my place of work.
  2. Yeah, they vary dependant on manufacturer. I know some Hex of 10 or 26 characters only have 6 letters and obviously 0-9 to use. Ok there's a lot of combinations there...but with unlimited tries and a bit of logic it won't take long to start using somebody elses signal. I'm sure all this will be considered with future models.
  3. Certainly won't argue with that, unfotunately the same can be said for adults.
  4. If that's the case then there's definitely a few issues to address with regards to sex education.
  5. Great news for women, it's refreshing to have such a positive news story to wake up to in the morning. Article on cervical cancer vaccine can be found here... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/2495029.stm I believe 5 Merck and Glaxo will be the major players in it's distribution.
  6. Jealousy and envy are two different things...admittedly I confused envy with jealousy at the start of the thread, but we're now discussing what jealousy is, and as far as I can see everyone's done a fine job of explaining exactly what jealousy is. I guess the thread's a little confusing, as my example of jealousy isn't jealousy, but I did try to make that clear, so I apologise if you've been mislead. You seem to be talking about something more causal, which can make for good debate, but not what this thread is aiming to clarify. Hope that clears things up a bit ?
  7. Do you mean if we see something that isn't there it's a hallucination, if we smell something that isn't there it's a.... Or are you talking about synthesis of aromas, esters et.c
  8. What book ? You don't seem to understand what jealousy is...it's attributed to something you already have.
  9. There's definitely signs of this happening in the UK, modern especially successful lifestyles / careers require more time, so less time is available to raise a family. Whilst the lower classes receive more benefits the more children they have...it's a know fact that some mothers purposefully have children so they get a house plus benefits et.c from the government, and teenage pregnancy is rife in the UK which (unless under particular circumstances) points towards a poorer upbringing. At our present time this trend can still be reversed...I feel it's possible to find true potential in most, good education, good diet et.c Whether this will be achieved is anybodies guess. The other alternative is to have a national culling of *chavs and chavettes *See regional dialect and slang thread under general discussion for terminology.
  10. The Andean people although (from first hand experience) are not completely isolated they do indeed have a larger lung capacity to cope with the higher altitude and obviously lower oxygen levels. In a documentary a few years back (the name escapes me) the residents of an Andean village played football against a group of physically fit westerners...needless to say the Andeans ran circles round them. Although you could argue this isn't really a controlled experiment (I will try and find links to this topic) it'll be interesting to see if these traits survive. Having had the privelage of trekking through the Andes, the villages are becoming less isolated, most villages have access to transport / roads et.c and western influence can be seen pretty much anywhere you go. It's really a case of what takes precedence, preservation or westernisation. With the temptation of arguably better lives in 'the city' et.c and the effects that economic growth and western culture has on small settlements (predominantly negative effects) then I'm wondering if this will accelerate too much before we do see a new species of homo sapiens. BRB Here we go... http://jeb.biologists.org/cgi/content/full/204/18/3151
  11. You seem to be getting it the wrong way round. Jealousy is (as already stated) a 'hardwired' instinctive reaction that has a number of psychological and physiological attributes. Jealousy doesn't manifest through anger or fear, it's an inherent reaction to basically say 'hands off', and people go through the motions to reassure themselves that there is no need to feel jealous. This usually has negative consequences...and is interpreted as mistrust, low self esteem et.c If jealousy was dealt with for what it is, with sympathy and reassurance then it could probably be quashed before it gets out of control or endures throughout the relationship. (I'm using human relationships as an example as it's easier to identify with.) The consequences of not dealing with jealousy could lead to depression, but you shouldn't get the two confused. Just for the record we started to talk to each other over messenger a few weeks ago, and got on famously...typical, and I did take back that her company was similar to having a brain aneurysm . Though I'm going to get my love life sorted before I think about seeing her again...which at the moment I just havn't got time for. All this really seems very much in the past for me now. I wonder what she'd make of all this if she stumbled across this site...yeah I'm talking about you, ya daft fickle bint
  12. To protect a WEP Lan set up you have the option of a password to secure your signal from rogue internet users. There are a number of default passwords that are available which are incredibly obvious and (so I've heard) often used. eg PF1,PF2,PF3 et.c So it's in people's best interest to think of an original password...unless they have no problem with someone using their signal.
  13. My house mate who owns tropical crabs is always baffled by how they escape their tank...I was searching related topics and came across this, thought some of you may find it interesting. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/09/050929082253.htm
  14. I think peoples general outlook becomes quite secure in their late teens. The majority of elderly people I've spoken to about this, said they feel the same as they did when they were much younger. The majority of my friends are roughly the same age as me, I'm lucky enough to of stayed in close contact with a lot of people I grew up with, and we still have great nights out and share many interests, as well as humouring each other over our differences. The friends that have moved away are exactly the same every time I meet up with them. My friends span from early twenties to mid forties, and they're all teenagers deep down...they've just acquired more knowledge or responsibilty. So age is really irrelevant to who I get on with. The reason the majority of my friends are around the same age is just down to circumstance, if I started hanging out with my elder sisters friends as I was growing up the majority of my friends would be in their late thirties / early fourties. YT2095, if you don't mind me asking, is there any particular reason why the majority of your friends are quite a bit older than you ? My social circle spanned from a collaboration of music and such as I was going through school and college, so making a lot of my friends roughly the same age as me.
  15. Especially if the default security passwords are used. I take it it's illegal to sponge off over peoples signals ?
  16. I've supplied a link in my second post, though you'll probably think Marmite lovers are a bit demented. I can assure you they are the most intelligent and beautiful people on the planet
  17. Probably more aimed at the members from the UK, but Marmite...love it or hate it ? Incidentally whilst in Nicaragua a few years ago, a British lad had brought some over. We were all sat round a table for dinner with some travellers from the states, when he revealed the little black jar of yeasty goodness. The people from the states were almost angry at the thought of consuming such a tar like substance...'My God, what's the matter with you people, you eat this stuff !!!' Is Marmite readily available in any other countries ? Is this stange viscous spread only enjoyed by the British...like battered (deep fried) Mars Bars (I've yet to try these, but they sound repulsive.) I personally love Marmite, I used to scoop it from the jar as a child, though I'm the only person I know who had this habit.
  18. I was born in September apparently the sky did go black around my birth...but it was a plague of ladybirds. I guess your talking about the tragedies that have occured in September.
  19. It was actually just something I heard, so apologies for being so bold. However I found a website 'The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry' that covers that normal children hallucinate, unfortunately you have to pay for the full journal, which I'm not prepared to do for the sake of my credibility. I've just been posting a load of tosh recently. Excuse me while I bang my head against the wall until I hallucinate.
  20. Oh...well I've embarassed myself yet again. The universe has no bounds, just like my stupidity. I'll be sure to research a topic thouroughly before I start a thread in future.
