Thank you.

One of my favourite things is being told what the Atkins diet is by people who haven't read the book but might have observed someone eating pork rinds for lunch who is "doing atkins."

In his book Atkins urges readers to eat their vegetables with a emphasis on leafy greens. If you don't know that then either read his book for yourself or go back to watching the big bang theory and leave me alone.

Uhhhhh - for the mentally challenged, you can make a good enough approximation by just calling a meter a yard. 7000 yards would be 21,000 feet. 7 kilometers, or roughly 4 miles, since a kilometer is .6 miles. Those who are not mentally challenged can either remember the actual conversion factors, or they can use http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+many+...

With QNX, what do they get?

You should have started there and ended with this. Seriously, QNX is probably more flexible than Android.....you can use QT, or HTML5 or other GUI toolkits, for example. It has bluetooth, wifi, 3G, quality development tools....really, do some research before posting things.

Is she American?

Here you go.

In this case, she is a not a lawyer in Britain.

Which does....what to change the fact that he is most wanted in the United States, and thus might want an American lawyer? Did you come up these deep, insightful questions all by yourself?

If she didn't get strip searched (with a good cause, too), she should be thankful.

You do know you out yourself when you want the whisteblowers and anyone connected to them strung up by their toes, but don't give a shit about the lawbreaking they reveal, right? See also this.

C'mon, guys, the right link isn't that hard to find...

One of the biggest draws of satellite/cable TV is the multitude of sports related channels available. If you "cut the cord" without first checking what you'd be missing, I guess your momma never told you to "look before you leap".

This is pretty much non-news. I hear there are places where you can go to watch sports. They even have snacks and refreshments available, too!

Beyond that, in the ATV & snowmobile world, this is a readily available bolt-on mod. I fully expect the parts are readily usable on most motorcycles, too.

I expect if you want to retrofit your car, you could find a product that does just that.

This doesn't count the simple-to-set-up-yourself ones, like PC Helpware.

The government can grant privileges; it can't grant rights. It can only protect specific rights.

Well, that is the way it is supposed to work in a free country. The people are the sovereign and they hold all the rights, the government is the subject and outside a few specific roles, they are to be bystanders in our prosperity. The people are presumed to be able to do anything unless there is a law barring the action. The US constitution even makes this clear in the 9th and 10th amendments

Somehow, in modern times, we have shifted from that concept to one which seems to specifically requires permission from the government in so many ways. This is probably because of the over regulation and the use of regulation as law to avoid a public debate in congress over the so called new law (regulation with the force of law). Along with that regulation comes licensing and so on and exists at almost every level in government to some degree. If you start a business in some areas and do not obtain proper permits or licenses, you can be fined or even jailed. I remember a story about a kid's lemonade stand being shut down a while back because they lacked the appropriate health department permits or licensing and it doesn't seem to be an isolated incident.

So I can see how some people might start thinking the government grants you rights. It's just a shame that it is possible for that to happen.

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=96000+pounds+in+kilograms

Assuming the rest of the world has access to something like Google, one might do a simple conversion with a search term as follows:

96,000 lbs = kilos

Here's a working example:

http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=96%2C000+lbs+%3D+kilos

I know this isn't a perfect solution, but I'm used to converting foreign texts in a similar fashion. This works for me in edge cases like this, however YMMV.

You know what a book is, right? Well a book review is a review of a book. And you know what anodyne is, right? Well an anodyne book review is a book review that is anodyne.

LMGTFY

Who the fuck reads the article anyway? They might as well link to two girls one cup (NSFW--or anywhere else for that matter). I didn't even bother reading the summary. This is normal behavior for /. Three words (or less) from the headline forms the basis of all discussion.

God I hate newbies on /. It's like I have to splain everything to them. AND DON'T GIVE ME THAT NONSENSE ABOUT HIS NUMBER BEING LOWER THAN MINE! HE MUST HAVE EBAYED IT. awfuckitall I'm gonna click AC anyway. Thanks for the chips.

My first instinct was to link to LMGTFY. But it's a pretty simple question and GTFY reveals:

"Aluminum in general is a third as light and half as strong as steel, or the inverse, steel is twice as strong but three times as heavy."

So, net gain in effective strength, but likely (currently) at more expense. But that was part of the point of the article, they are trying to balance all of these factors to make a durable truck that gets the best mileage possible...

Google is hard?

I don't see anyone complaining that nursing or primary school teaching is sexist, yet those professions have a definite bias towards one sex.

Really? I guess you've never actually *looked* to see if people were complaining about sexism in those professions, because there certain is lots of talk about gender inequality and sexism.

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=sexism+and+teaching

Also, your comment about "only because a lot of the 'men' in the industry tend to be about as mature as the primary school children I referred to earlier!" is interesting - in what way is that not rampant sexism?

"The industry isn't sexist, it's all these dumb sexist jerks IN the industry that chase away all the women who are sexist!"

Before you attempt to berate your intellectual betters, you should at least attempt a basic Google search. There are hundreds of stories about Utopia. Your assertion that there is only one story demonstrates your ignorance very well. It's also interesting that you separate the Republic comment out of your own complaints, perhaps due to extreme ignorance on that subject as well.

I find it extremely boring squashing your incessant, yet pathetic, attempts at trolling my posts. Perhaps you should ask your mom for things to do in the basement so that you find something of value to pursue.

Is this a joke, or are you just that dense? You even quoted the part that tells you the country.

Collaborators have created two beehive designs that can be downloaded for free and milled using a CNC machine, then filled with sensors to track bee colony health.

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=How+to+build+a+beehive%3F

No CNC machine. Just some wood and glue. Want sensors? Add them. I'm actually surprised this didn't ask for 3D printers!

Perhaps, if you want to stop bees from dying, perhaps, just perhaps, ban systemic pesticides. Ban nicotinoids. Don't want to? Well, then don't bitch all all bees are killed off.

This is exactly what I'm talking about, the realities of economics in China as experienced by actual Chinese citizens. I tell you people are being taxed years in advance, and you say "So what?" Yeah, you really understand and care about what's happening in China. Hell, you'd fit right into the Chengguan, which you probably don't even know anything about without looking it up.

GDP should contain movie production costs. Do you even know what GDP is? What makes you think making a movie and selling it is ultimately any different from making a John Deere tractor and selling it? It's the economy, stupid. Even if US GDP is fudged slightly (which could be said of practically any economic metric), the PRC's is drastic. At least 5%, and when you're talking about the second largest economy on Earth, that's hundreds of billions of dollars.

What point is there on zooming in on x or y industry? Sure there are growth sectors in any country, but we're talking about aggregates. I mentioned that the growth in usage of electricity in China doesn't match GDP because, most economists agree, electricity is one of those things that goes up in demand commensurate to the growth in all other sectors, because basically everything needs energy to run. As for specific economists, I'm not paid to be your research bitch. I've spent a lot of years following news and events in China, and if you really want to learn something do your own reading. The first several articles all deal with this issue.

I know someone who had his original work taken down by a Warner Bros DMCA bot (without recourse, naturally, since only lawyers are people nowadays).

Adults around here ride various types of pedal bikes; the push bikes are the tiny things without pedals for toddlers.

No, they're called balance bikes.

No. "Balance bikes" are known as "push bikes" That's why when you Google for "push bike" you get all those articles on balance bikes. You silly thing.

What does this prove? Well, for one thing it demonstrates that a person who thinks they are clever, and knows about LMGTFY and Google, will still fail it if he doesn't use the smarts that he thinks he has.

Define "push bike"; I don't know what you are talking about.

The lack of content on the website isn't a UI/UX issue, it's a basic design issue, and maybe, just maybe, the three programmers designing and implementing this "proof of concept" website didn't have the time/resources to include details of a few thousand insurance plans in the handful of days they threw the site together... Were I to be responsible for the UI/UX of this application, I'd ask for a link to valuepenguin.com (see above) filtered through lmgtfy.com...
