CowboyNeal confirms, Apple is dying!COWBOYNEAL CONFIRMS - APPLE IS DYING
El Zeiko - Gnaa, Nigeria.
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Apple community when Slashdot pie magnet CowboyNeal confirmed that his baseball bat has dropped yet again, now down to the fragile case of his worthless Apple Powerbook. Coming on the heels of a recent GNAA survey which plainly states that CowboyNeal has finally LOST calories due to his savage beating upon his shitty Apple Powerbook, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Apple is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by CowboyNeals powerbook being smashed into pieces like Rob Malda's anus at a GNAA press conference
You don't need to be a CowboyNeal to predict Apples future. The smashed casing is on the wall: Apple faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Apple because Apple is dying. Things are looking very bad for Apple. As many of us are already aware, Apple continues to be bat raped. Sweaty enraged blubber flows like a river of blood.
Apples Powerbook is the most endangered of them all, having been smashed to a bloody pulp by resident obese slashdot editor CowboyNeal, who was quoted as saying, with sweat and fat streaming down his several chins, "FROM NOW ON THE ONLY MACS I'LL BE BUYING WILL BE BIG MACS". The sudden and unpleasant departure of his unwanted and crippled powerbook only serves to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: Apple is dying.

Mods - get the whole joke?
This was an obvious joke, but I'm not sure if moderators really get it-
Ads really are going on baseball bases. Spiderman 2 has bought the rights to put some logos on baseball bases in the next few weeks.
Next thing you know, corporate sponsors will be buying insightful or funny slashdot posts.

Re:Canadian law?
- since most of the calories in fast food usually come from fat
Are you TRYING to piss off as many Atkins people as possible? Are you also trying to make our argument easy? (eg. practically the definition of trolling)
- McDonald's Large Fries -- 234 calories from fat, 272 calories from carbs
- McDonald's Large Milkshake -- 189 calories from fat, 464 calories from carbs
Secondly, I'd argue that caloric density of specific components of your food, or even the total caloric value of items of food dosn't really matter a whole lot. What really matters is enjoyment per calorie... if something is 100 calories and you enjoy it a whole lot, and it takes 200 calories of something else for you to be as satisfied/full, then you'd want to eat more of the first thing.
And until we get people to start thinking that way, and generating scientific data to back it up, we're going to have to resort to diets that people have emperically determined to work, even if they are a little bit crazy.

Big $$$ in WiFi @ Mickey D's
Some time ago, the news media began reporting that McDonald's was to going to provide wireless access in their restauraunts. That service, according to McDonald's itself, would in some places be for pay.
McDonald's giveaway will promote its for-pay WiFi access. iTMS is the market leader of downloaded music with, according to a 5 November analyst conference call held by Apple, over 80% market share. McDonald's will be able to "give away" US $0.99 tracks to, in some cases, sell US $2.99/day WiFi access.
I wonder if some of those Happy Meal freebies will include a day's worth of free WiFi.

Re:MSG is evil
but they will happily go to McDonald's and wolf down some of that shit
Wow, I was gonna call bullshit on you, but how wrong I was!
At least they admit it, but here's a list of McDonalds foods with added MSG:
Chicken McGrill
Hot 'n Spicy McChicken
Grilled Chicken Bacon Ranch Salad
Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad
Grilled Chicken California Cobb Salad
Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddles
Sausage McGriddles
Sausage McMuffin
Sausage Biscuit
Sausage Biscuit with Egg
Spanish Omelete Bagel
Sausage
Big Breakfast
Sausage Breakfast Burrito
The sad part is, a decent Sausage Biscuit with Egg would need no MSG at all, it's full of meaty favor, but apparently they can't help themselves.
I mean, 4 salads with MSG added? -
Re:McDonald's
They do. McDonalds has a little advisory regarding MSG on their own site, sugar their buns to cause cravings (do a google search), and use recipes/flavors designed to return the best return on the investment possible at the expense of their customer's health (read fast food nation).

Re:Sorry....
This is also the America where consumers can ignore all of the information pummelled into them, make poor consumer choices, but then amazingly they can turn around and profess a child-like ignorance, actually suing because they should be protected from their own poor judgement.
Quality and security of software is a market feature, and if the public ignores the continual security lapses of some particularly popular software, for instance, and if they accept that there will be X crashes per week, then so be it: The marketplace has spoken. We don't need anyone protecting us from ourselves, and feigning ignorance after the fact is incredibly weak. -
Re:I like this post
This diet is popular because people want to lose weight, not because they want to be healthy. Therefore, the burden of proof is on Dr. Atkins to prove it is healthy. If you come out with some diet that you are advocating, it is your responsibility to show it won't kill you in 5 years.
Actually, I believe most people try the Atkins diet in an attempt to improve their overall health and not simply lose weight. It is part of the stated effects of the diet in his book and he talks at length about the overall health implications. Also, from what I can tell, Atkins did as much as can be expected to show that his diet was healthy and much more than almost anyone else who has produced a dietary recommendataion. It seems his patients were monitored carefully and the evidence was quite strong that his diet improved overall health. That is much more than can be said for most diets including the food pyramid. Now it's up to the doctors and nutritionists who are standing up and saying that it shouldn't be followed because it is unhealthy to prove what they are claiming. The embarrasing fact is they base most of what they are doing on little or no experimental evidence. They make the same assumptions they have been making for years about how the body works. They do not know that the diet is unhelathy. The evidence seems to show that it, in fact, is very healthy. Mostly the evidence I have heard is from doctors saying it's unhealthy because they assume it is based on their understanding of how the body works.
If you don't know fast food is bad for you then you are an idiot.
I disagree with this on a lot of levels. First, just because it's quick to prepare and serve doesn't make it bad for you. There are few people who would argue that picking up a grilled chicken bacon ranch salad and a diet coke at McDonalds is eating unhealthily. It's not 'fast' food that's bad it's the types of food we eat. I would argue that much of the blame on fast food is misplaced. Our problems have more to do with Special K and Cheerios than BigMac's and fries and a whole lot more to do with Coke than either.
It comes down to the question of what parts of the meals are bad for you. How do you pick and chose. Is it better to get a double quarter pounder with cheese (760 calories) or a Big Mac (580 calories) or simple hamburger and small fries with only (490 calories)? The people who sit there and say "if you intake more calories than you burn, you gain weight" would probably say go with the hamburger and fries. The answer is more complicated than that though. For me, I'll take the double quarter pounder with cheese. Why? The double quarter pounder with cheese will fill me up and not spike my blood sugar which would make me hungy again soon. A hamburger and fries has 61g of carbs, the Big Mac has 47g of carbohydrates where a DQPwC has only 38g. (from here) Caloric intake vs output is as relavent to weight loss in much the same way that water input vs output is to water pressure in a water system. While the rule is very true you don't get much usefull information as to how to design a good system from it.
Trying to work from calories has lead to stupid things like people not tosting their bread. Toast, you see, has more calories per gram than bread does and thus is more fattening. Of course that is rediculous since they are the same thing, but toast has less water thus is lighter and contains more calories per gram. This is an extreme example of why the oversimplified models that are commonly used by nutritionists don't work. Calories per gram is obviously not an apropriate way to analyse food'd impact on health or weight loss. Measuring a food's weight or volume is not suficcient to determine how long it will keep you full.
I believe the variables that determine how long something will fill you up will even change from day to day as the populations of bacteria in your d -
Re:100% wrong - debunking the carb/fat mythYou may want to update your dietary knowledge.
It's not that old, I'm only 26.
;)Fried foods are not intrinsically bad because they are fried. These days almost all frying is done in vegetable oils, which are good for you.
I'm not going after the heart disease angle as much as the caloric angle. You are right in general that veggie oils are better than animal - however, I would very much recommend you look further, as all veggie oils *are not* created equal. Some of them are actually downright bad (see palm oil) while others are very good for your heart (see olive oil). I would guess that palm oil isn't as bad as a handfull of crisco, but it isn't good either.
The two problems with "fried foods" are that the bulk of fast food is carbs
That's flat *not true* - I'm sick of saying this so I looked up the numbers from McDonalds. Result? That demon of carbs, the large fries, actually has 43% of its calories from fat. The quarter pounder gets 51% of its from fat. This amounts to over 1000 calories total, and that ain't good. The preakdown for such a meal is 40% calories from carbs (exactly what it should be) and 47% from fat (far too high) and 13% from protein (actually far too low). So, I would say the problem with fast food is that, while the carbs are OK, the fat is too high and protein too low. Naturally, if the idiot gets a big gulp Coke with it, this would change, but remember neither of us is advocating that. For reference, recommended values for fat are under 30%. (30% protein and 40% from preferably non-sugary carbs round that out).
frying at too high a temperature transforms some oil parts into carcinogens.
Well, yeah, but that's not making you fat, it's just going to kill you.

Office Diet plan
There was something I was doing, that worked really well for me..
I decided I was overweight at 170 pounds (5'8", average frame). My face was fat, and I wasn't particulary happy with my overall look.
On this method, I was loosing between 3 and 5 pounds per week day, but would only sustain my weight on weekends.
I went down to 150 pounds, and stayed there for a long time, no matter how hard I tried. Then I dropped to 145 recently. I've been walking more than driving. I've been holding around 145, which is about perfect for me.
First off, stop drinking soda. No coke, diet coke, whatever.. Drink water, and lots of it. Carry bottles of water to work, since most places just have soda machines. Don't drink the Dasani water. It is salted and tastes nasty. Read the label. Bottled water shouldn't have anything but water in it. Once your away from it for a while, then it's ok to have the occasional coke. I know, most people drink coke instead of water, and haven't had a glass of water in years. Coke encourages this. They encourage people to put soda machines out and make sure that they have a presence in every supermarket, gas station, and convinence store. They want your money, and don't care that their product isn't good for you (just like cigarettes).
Coke, at 200 calories per 20oz bottle, isn't really good. Ask your doctor if you should be taking in say 400 to 600 calories per day in soda. Then ask your dentist (it's really bad for your teeth too). I'm not a doctor or dentist, so ask them for confirmation.
I don't eat breakfast.. That's a rule that I've lived by since I was a kid. My metabolism doesn't support it (maybe I need an upgrade?). If I eat breakfast, I feel sick all day. Makes mornings a lot faster though. :)
Don't snack. Snacking just brings in extra calories, and if you're getting fat, then you're bringing in too much.. If you want to reverse the getting fat trend, lower your intake. Think of it like a bucket with a small drain in it.. The drain represents the energy you burn during the day. A water hose into the top of the bucket represents your food intake. If you fill the bucket faster than it drains, it gets too full (you get fat). If you fill it too slowly, the bucket will run out of water (you get think and die). There's a happy medium, where there's enough water going in, and enough water going out ,and everything remains happy. But, you have to lower your intake for a while, or increase your output, to bring the level of water (your weight) down.
My daily routine was:
8am wake up. Go to my exercise area, which initially consisted of a towel on the floor. Do stretching exercises, situps and pushups, and more stretching. After I got to 100 situps and pushups without getting tired, I got bored with it, and got weights too. I slowly worked up to 30 pounds of weights in my hands crossed over my chest, for 100 situps.. And I added a decent array of weight bench exercises over time. Don't try too hard at first, if you keep doing it, you'll see improvement. Always stretch before and after.
8:45am stop exercising, shower, etc, etc, and go to work.
10am arrive at work (this is my shift)
1:30pm small lunch. I limited myself to 300-400 calories for lunch. Don't eat fast food. If you consider it, check their web sites. A Big Mac is 580 calories. Personally, I like the Lean Cuisine meals.. The Healthy Choice frozen pizzas aren't bad either.
8pm leave work.
8:05pm, meet up with friends for drinks. 5 or 6 pints of Guinness sometime between 8pm and midnight. Ok, socially drinking every night probably isn't the best thing for a diet (or my liver), -
Re:Cry me a river - you got it!Why should I feel bad about taking a miniscule portion of some conglomerate's profits which for years has been selling me inferior music (thanks to ridiculous contractual obligations) on inferior media (originally, to save money; now to fuck me in the ass) for huge profits which go straight into the backpockets of knobs like Jack Valenti and almost none of which end up in the artists' hands?
Why should I feel bad about taking a miniscule portion of some restaurant conglomerate's profits which for years has been selling me inferior food in inferior buildings for huge profits which go straight into the back pockets of knobs like Jim Cantalupo and almost none of which end up in the farmers' and ranchers' hands?
Because taking things that have value, whether they are hamburgers or songs, against the wishes of the owner (or copyright owner) is unfair to the owner and is also against the law. It doesn't matter if you don't like the company or its practices, it's still wrong.

How Much Did McDonald's Pay to Sponsor the SUN?
Take a look at what they are a calling a three dimensional model of the sun. To me it looks very much like a two dimensional model of a section of the the Golden Arches.
If this were to really be a 3d model, shouldn't the sun be sphere instead of an arch?

Simple mouse modWhy not just mod a wheeled mouse? The steps would be simple enough.
Parts Needed:
3 button optical mouse with wheel
Set of screwdrivers (prolly just need a #0 and #1 phillips)
McDonald's Straw - I am not sure if other straws will work it needs to be thermo softening while being thick enough for wear and pliable enough for use.
Personal flamethrower or lighter or soldering iron
about 30 minutes of your time.
Heres how to do it:- With the X-Acto knife make a faint score on the mouse wheel along the profile where it sticks out of the mouse
- Remove mouse cover (typically by removing 2 screws maybe 3 in your case)
- carefully remove the screw holding the circut board to the upper mouse casing
- Remove the wheel and action spring noting how they were installed.
- Trim the mouse wheel with the X-Acto knife so that it is almost flush with the mouse case (using your earlier score) - Nice thing here is you have 3 chances if you mess up at first because you can just rotate the wheel 120 degrees and have a fresh surface!
- Cut the straw latterally so as to be able to lay it flat and cut a section off which is approximately 35% longer than the exposesed mouse wheel opening in the upper shell of the mouse
- Heat the straw fragment (dont burn it) until it lays almost flat on your work surface (you do still want some curve)
- place the mouse wheel back on the curcuit board with the flattened side up (away from the board
- place the now flattened straw fragment over teh mouse wheel centering it.
- once you have things the way you want them remove the upper cover again and the trimmed straw fragment
- place a single tiny drop of krazy glue on the former wheel and immediately recenter the star fragment on it
- wait a few minutes as the off gas of the glue will cloud the optics of your mouse if you re-assembled immediately.
- Re-assemble the mouse and you now have a 3 button no wheel mouse!

Re:Nintendo?
Your friends lied. They went to hamburger university, but were too ashamed to admit it. While stumbling for an answer, they looked around the room and the first thing they saw was your Nintendo sitting in the corner. Like Jan Brady in the "George Glass" fiasco, they blurted out, "Nintendo! Um, yeah...Nintendo college." Yeah right. Boy are you gullible.

Banner ads are still done wrong
Banner ads are still done wrong on a lot of sites. The problem is they are too often arranged to be paid based on the number of times clicked, and ignore payment based on impression. Impression is how ads work in newspapers, magazines, television, and radio. But on the web, many advertisers saw the possibility of interactive clicking and just assumed a consumer would click on the ad whenever they wanted to find out more. Just notice how many ads don't really tell you in the ad what company or even what product/service is involved.
Unlike most of the other media, web users often tend to be motivated for other goals at the moment the ad is impressed. For example when visiting a portal like Ask Jeeves, they have something on their mind they are looking for. The ad is just a diversion and they are unlikely to go there.
But
... ad impressions still work. They just have a latent psychological effect that builds up over time. Seeing the ad once, if its something you are really interested in, might get you over to that site ... later on today. Or it might even get you to buy that product ... later on this week. And if it's something you have no interest in at all, when you see that ad (best if it's not intrusive which would make it negative) many many times, you build up "brand awareness". Later, maybe many months later, when you do have a need for that product or service, or happen to be talking with someone who does, then the brand name comes up. When shopping for that kind of product and you see several choices on the store shelves, you're more inclined to pick the brand that was more advertised just because it now seems to be the more familiar brand ... and you never even visited their web site.If you like fast food and McDonalds adds a new product to their lineup which you might like, the banner ad for it might clue you in to this wonderful new treat. But are you likely to visit their web site? A few people might. Most won't. Are you likely to pull in the next time you're driving down the street while hungry on your lunch break? Very likely.
Too many web site operators think they have to be paid for advertising based on click throughs. That's just wrong, and it needs to change for web advertising to survive (the interactivity goals based on ads was never a realistic concept).
Too many businesses in product areas, especially consumer, where there is no real value of a web site to their product (fast food, small appliances, groceries, clothing, etc) are just not advertising on the web at all because they know people won't click on the ads to visit their site (no obvious value to it). What they are missing is that the impression model still works
... or that they are afraid of advertising based on impressions because of some difficulties in accounting and auditing (mostly because its still too click-through oriented and these problems are not yet well solved).Impression ads, of course, have to be cheaper per impression than a click-through. And this won't rule out still having click-through ads. While writing this comment the Think Geek ad for Bawls is blinking away at me. I'm not going to be visiting because I have no interest today. But if next month I happen to have an interest in it, I know where to go get it. That's latent response impression advertising. But it only works when the ad makes it clear where to go (domain names help if it's an online place to go). And it only works if the web site is going to get paid even if no one ever clicks on the ad.

If this fellow had been a professional (earning money from these hacks), then he'd be living in a secret compound provided by his employers in Iraq/Korea/China. True, the internet bandwidth isn't that great there, but a good hacker doesn't need it.

Scientists say 50 grammes of sugar would keep a 40-watt light bulb lit for eight hours.
Now, what I will do, is to just connect this liposuction device with me and their innovation, turn my fat into hydrogen and fuel my car. I assume my excess kgs of excess fat will take me to whereever I want. Haha! Here we come McDonald's!

Re:Maybe its like bagels?
Talk to anyone that works in a bagel or donut shop and they will tell you that they throw away hundreds/thousands of units a week. Basically what isn't purchased is discarded. Surely we can think to give the units to the homeless/hungry/needy-cause, but there is apparently a legal reason not to do so.
My first job ever was at a franchise of a certain somewhat large fast-food chain, and it wasn't long before I asked why the food that was "QC'd" was pitched instead of held and shipped off to one of the local shelters. Liability was the primary reason...if some bum got sick off of a freebie burger, he could've contacted any of the hundreds of ambulance chasers in this town and sued the store into oblivion. It was hella wasteful...about the only thing you could do is keep an eye on production to minimize the waste, but it was nearly impossible to eliminate it completely.

Grimace, McDonalds character, dead at 13
I just heard sad news on talk radio -McDonalds commercial star/character Grimace was found dead in his McDonalds house this morning. I'm sure we'll all miss him - even if you didn't eat his food you've probably enjoyed one of his pornographic movies. Truly a purple American homosexual.

Stop crying. Microsoft just has better products.
Windows is number one because Microsoft knows marketing. OS/2 had the juggernaut of IBM behind it, which was a much bigger company than MS at the time and still couldn't topple them. How is fragmented Linux supposed to touch Microsoft? Their Linux is viral campaign seems to be working pretty well if you ask me. Face it, it's not about the product, it's about the marketing. People eat at McDonald's even though their food is crap. Microsoft has won.
