Did you actually try it before posting?

Yep. And those benefits are pretty sweet! 
Just to sum up a few:
Vegetarian foods are a major source of nutrition for most people in the world.
Vegetarians have lower rates of heart disease and some forms of cancer than non-vegetarians.
Vegetarian diets can be simple and easy to prepare.
According to the ADA, vegetarians are at lower risk for developing:
-Heart disease
-Colorectal, ovarian, and breast cancers
-Diabetes
-Obesity
-Hypertension (high blood pressure)
You'll ward off disease.
You'll keep your weight down.
You'll live longer.
You'll build strong bones.
You'll be more 'regular.'
The list goes on...
Just saying A LOT has been said about food and a lot of that is contradicting each other.

You summed it up pretty well there.

Just about every study that has found vegetarians live longer has said it is most likely that is because they are less likely to smoke and almost certainly nothing to do with diet.

Adolf Hitler was an Austrian vegetarian.
Hmm...

Now, what did the study say about mental health? 
But then again, it could possibly be another mixup of causation and correlation?

Hello CPs
I would like some ideas and advises from senior CPs and experienced programmers. I am interested in programming and security(as in hacking). I am a novice in C++,C#,VB.NET. I learnt Penetration testing and hacking for becoming a security professional.
But my problem now is I don't know which field to choose. 1)Developer or 2)Security Professional.
1)If I am going to be a developer what kind of applications I want to develop
a)Software Applications
b)Web Developing
c)Game Developing
As you can see each field is different from each other. I really love games and want to go for game programming but I'm not really good with equations and complex calculations. But I can learn any programming language/framework and its features.
2)As a security professional, There are lot of Job titles. I think its basically Penetration testing, Administration and Analyst. I am greatly inspired by the whole hacking thing. But not a lot of startup positions are available as a hacker(White-hat).
So I am really confused here. So this is my career stating point(Fresher). So I would like your suggestions and insights on this. Because I can start shaping myself for the path I choose now. Thanks in advance friends
If this is in the wrong section, Please help to move it and I am sorry if my English is bad.

It helps to have experience writing software to really understand security. Once you've written it, you'll have a better understanding of how to hack it.
Software dev skills are definatly more transferable and what you chose to start with is not what you have to pursue for the rest of your years so you don't need to put so much pressure on the decision you make now. Things change and so will you
Good luck

Nobody is interested in security until it's too late to do anything about it.

When you are just starting out (I wish people would stop using the word 'fresher'  ), you should not think about specializing in a particular field. If you like to develop software, become a developer and stay current on security related issues, getting as much experience in the field as possible, then after a couple of years you can start specializing.
The thing is, there are not that many companies that have dedicated software security experts on staff, so if that is all you know, it could be difficult for you to find a job. Once you have experience (no serious company is going to hire an inexperienced developer as a security expert), you could find yourself in very high demand as a contractor.

Some Indianspeak...
"fresher" == college freshman (i.e. "novice")
"fundas" == fundamentals (i.e. fundamental knowledge of a scientific topic)
E.g: "For a fresher, your fundas are pretty damn good."

Yeah, I have figured out what the term means, I just really hate it.
Quote: "For a fresher, your fundas are pretty damn good."
So, the IndianTextSpeak version is something like "4 a frshr, ur fndz rock"

You racist European! Indians would say, "4 a frshr, fnds r dmn gd"

But it seems to be ok for Aussies, Brits and Kiwis to have their own words in the English language....

Don't worry, I am sure there are plenty of their words I hate as well  .
On a serious note, please don't take this as an attack on Indians - I did not know the OP was Indian and I did not know that term is specifically used by Indians.

Are you sure? I always assumed what people meant is that they are "fresh" out of college (usually an under-grad / bachelor's) and have zero experience professionally.

Yes, I'm sure. In the 70s, it was a given that all IIT freshers (freshmen) were ragged (hazed).

Okay, it's possible that recently it's assumed a new meaning. The OP does not seem to be a college freshman, and seems to be someone looking for a job.

I think the generic meaning of fresher is "noob". A fresher at university is a freshman, a fresher at a law firm would be a junior associate (who has yet to pass the bar exam), a fresher at McKinsey would probably be someone they hired right out of school, etc.
I (literally) hate to say it, but a "CP fresher" would probably be a CPian with less than 1K points.

Well said.

Do both.
Every software company needs at least one security conscious developer. This should be a plus on your side when interviewing for a plain developer job.
Also, many computer security companies provide auditing services. After the audit, they assist with remediation of any problems found. A security conscious developer is definitely needed here. In between remediation projects, you can still do pen-testing.

Well, if you're trying to eventually get into the security thing... you probably have to have a base of the technology you're trying to protect (or "test"). Knowing about networking, socket programming, and web technologies, would somewhat lay the path for that. As someone already mentioned though, it's probably going to be rare that someone will hire someone with no experience for a security position, so be prepared to start off somewhere else and try to build a foundation with your current job for your future job.
If you want to be a developer, you pretty much have to choose a technology that you don't only like but also one that has significant demand so that you can actually find a job once you're done with college. With that said, game development might be interesting and fun... but how many jobs are in that field versus how many people want to do it? I would imagine that's a tough field to get into.
