Like crap -- just got over a month of bronchitis and now have it again.
I quit smoking about 8 years ago but the damage of smoking for so many years is rearing it's ugly head.

Nasty - I feel for you. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)
But think of it this way: if you hadn't given up, it'd probably be even worse. I gave up in '04 and am damn glad I did - especially when I look at how much they cost now!

Was the best decision I ever made!

Gave up drinking and smoking at the same time so I definitely am saving money now.

It took me a few more years to give up drinking - I'm a slow learner sometimes.
Worst decision I ever made: to start smoking. Stupid, stupid, stupid ...

I hope you will get much better soon - very soon...
You should try these things:
* use a 'humidifier' while resting/sleeping
* drink a lot of fresh lemonade with honey
* cut a big onion and put away in honey for 24 hours - eat 3-5 teaspoons of the juice 3 times a day

Someone is finally putting those pre-medieval obscurantists in their place. Kudos to both women mentioned in the article for standing up to be counted!

I don't know why such events have to be organized in these stone age countries (w.r.t Govt & policies), in the first place.

Saw a documentary by Simon Reeves about Turkey, and although tourism has suffered in the last years, the so called "Halal" hotels are booming.

Absolutely not. Their religion is as "pre-medieval" as some forms of Christianity, and when you visit such folks like that you do your best not to offend right? Or otherwise would you be happy for visiting bushmen to ignore your local culture and slaughter animals in front of your children? Or have Germans, in whose homeland public nudity is allowed, to visit your grandparents naked?
When in Rome, ... those women, everyone, should be sensitive to local culture.
Your comment is plain stupid, and even more using it to degenerate another's religion hugely offensive.

Among other charming features, the culture that you are defending is degrading to women in general and to the women mentioned in the article in particular. Said women have decided not to stay silent in the interest of professional expediency, but to speak out. They find the hijab offensive, and have therefore decided to stay at home. What is wrong with cheering them on?

The fact that beliefs are sincerely held does not immunize them against ridicule.

I just do one question:
Do they adapt when coming to other countries?
The rest... is Soapbox material

To answer this is soapbox material as well.

I was just attempting to find out how to mathematically break down the chromatic musical scale* we use in western music so I googled, of course.
I found this page : Musical Scale[^]
Last updated 09/21/1996!!
That's a pretty cool hit, right there.
I am always amazed to see what people have shoved in a closet and left there for over 20 years. 
*Not near as simple as you may think and yes, it is a very obscure thing to google.

There are a lot of things that really should be removed, or at least ignored by search engines. Now maybe you want a deep search, but that should be an option. I know I look for events, and generally getting something that is old does no good. To make it even worse sometimes not even sure what year the event was supposed to have taken place.

That is the worst thing to me.
Even with large companies like Microsoft you may look up a specific function or something and you just can't tell if it is the latest thing or 10 years old.
I just heard of this Silverlight thing and I'm trying to get it working. 
It really is a problem though.
