For an 8oz cup, darker black teas and lighter coffees have 50-60mg, while darker coffees can have up to 120mg. It's interesting that all energy drinks I see like Monster, AMP, have warnings to limit yourself to 3 cans a day. |

The caffeine and other ingredients are nothing... its the "not really sugar" corn fructose (corn syrup) that is "teH 3V1L" in modern US soda pop (and probably the culprit in much of the national obesity). 6 cans of soda a day adds about 1200+ calories to your diet. When you couple that with the problem that this is one of the "false" sugars that don't trigger the brain's "had enough" signal... it means you drink it all and still feel hungry, overeating even more.
Soda can be a treat... but drink the ones made with *real* cane sugar (local microbrew soda, mexican coca-cola, etc) and you'll find you "need" much less and it will taste better anyway. LOOK at the ingredients in those "energy" drinks as well :P HIstorically, Mountain Dew was the preferred programmer drink because it had a smidgen more caffeine than other sodas. With the advent of the 'monster' energy drinks, that is no longer true.

Human lives = cost $ to support and sustain. Pretty simple from my end, so long as you put no intrinsic value on most human life.

Human resources are the most important resources in, well, human societies. Material wealth has no worth unless somebody actually gets to use it. For a pithy amount of resources these blindly selfish men within the French government contributed to an event that cost the world an immeasurable amount of what economists, those heartless number-crunchers, call an "opportunity cost." Imagine instead a stable, more free, more prosperous Angola where the chaos is. If just one of those who are now dead in the killing fields had the potential to be the "next Einstein," then the world have lost a precious thing. And even if none of them would have had become Einstein, war consumes resources and produce nothing in return. And those are just the most direct, obvious of the potential benefits, since generally so-called "pragmatists" are awfully retarded at seeing the non-obvious value of things and I don't feel like explaining the rest -- the value of culture, for example. Of course, pragmatists generally limit their worldview anyway. If France (or more exactly the French establishment) benefits just a little, then they are willing to place a greater cost on the rest of the world. That is because "they" are the French establishment and "they" won't have to pay for it. Geopolitics as understood by the power-holders of the world is more or less idiocy; blind self-interest is expensive. |

There is really no bonds to the amount of luck you can get.

Illegal downloaders face web ban
Ohh, so the UK continue to 'suppress' their people by churning out another law in an attempt to solve an issue by instant punishment. There is a thread around in the GC forum regarding downloads and penalties, tho can't find it, so i just paste link here for now. http://uk.news.yahoo.com/21/20091028...n-6323e80.html

Honestly I read some of the laws that were turned down where he used rather rational veto statements - and well those laws appeared to be of really minor importance.
