Standard C++ Moves Beyond Vapor

An Anonymous Coward++ writes "This google thread announces the first C++ compiler that can actually handle the whole language (we'd been waiting for half a decade here). The company that did it is EDG. They're a tiny outfit, but they're apparently also behind the Intel compiler (both on Windows with Visual C++ extensions, and on Linux with GCC extensions). There are rumors they can compile the Linux kernel too."

    Besides having nothing to say, you chose a sickening way to say it, the word 'sweet'.

    I bet in your head you heard it as "shweet" too, but you didn't know how to spell it. That's even more sickening.

    Coffee Enema

    by Alexandra Astakhov

    Warning: The following piece is for
    informational purposes only, and is not intended to be medical advice. Many medical authorities consider this a dangerous procedure, and it is not endorsed by INeedCoffee.com.

    The use of coffee in enemas for detoxification purposes is well known. It is a common herbalogical remedy that has been suggested by holistic and alternative medicine professionals for many years.

    Why it works

    The effects of a coffee enema are different than a saline enema. The mostimportant difference between a saline enema and a coffee enema is the presence of caffeine in the coffee. Caffeine, theophylline and theobromine, combine to stimulate the relaxation of smooth muscles causing dilatation of blood vessels and bile ducts. The effects of having a coffee enema are not the same as drinking coffee. The veins of the anus are very close to the surface of the tissue. The caffeine is therefore absorbed more quickly (and in higher concentration) than it is in when coffee is drunk.

    Liver benefits

    Additionally, coffee has a chemical makeup that is stimulative. The enzymes in coffee, known as palmitates, help the liver carry away the toxins in bile acid. The coffee is absorbed into the hemorrhoidal vein, then taken up to the liver by the portal vein. With the bile ducts dilated, bile carries toxins away to the gastro-intestinal tract. Simultaneously, peristaltic activity is encouraged because of the flooding of the lower colon. Thus, when the colon is evacuated, the toxins and bile are carried out of the body.

    Supplies

    You will need to buy a re-usable enema kit, available at most pharmacies. They are usually disposable (although they can be cleaned and reused for several months) and they are inexpensive.
    Distilled water.
    Organic coffee, any roasting level will do.
    French Press pot.

    Preparing the Coffee

    Bring 8 cups of water to a boil. Grind eight heaping spoonfuls of organic coffee. Put it in a french press pot. Pour the water over the coffee grounds and let it steep then cool for one hour. After this amount of time, the liquid should be about body temperature. If you stick your finger in the water it should be lukewarm, but not hot. Press the coffee grounds to the bottom, then pour the coffee liquid into the enema bag.

    Directions

    Follow the directions that accompany the enema kit. Lie on your right side, inject and retain the coffee for 10-20 minutes. I recommend lightly massaging your abdomen from left to right (up the left side, and then left to right just below the navel). Additionally, I recommend changing positions while retaining the coffee. After a few minutes turn over onto your back, a few minutes later switch to your left side before evacuating your bowels.

    Concerns

    Many people are concerned that the body will become 'addicted' to the enema. This fear is unfounded. The bowels can continue to function on their own after enemas are discontinued.

    My karma is going to get killed for this, but that's okay, because as of this morning I had 50. How the hell was the parent rated Offtopic? It contained a quote from the article, and cited information given in the submission. The fact that the information was incorrectly cited (since I made an obvious and stupid mistake) should not by any means make it off-topic; rather, it should perhaps make it overrated, or, preferably, just ignored.

    Just about 4 years ago, people like Patrick Naughton were telling me that I'm wasting my time with C++, and that Java would replace everything. (I heard that story before, 20 years earlier, with UCSD Pascal!).

    Today, of course, C++ is the only choice for many real-world applications, and Patrick Naughton, Sun's Java Guru, is on the "Megan's Law" list as a convicted and admitted child raper

    Now that's funny!

    I'm serious. This is not a troll.

    I've been growing my hair out for the past year. It's always been relatively short and now it goes past my ears, halfway to my chin. The problem is I have bad dandruff. I have to shampoo every other to three days or the dandruff gets really bad. The dandruff shampoos all leave my hair dry, frizzy and unmanagable. I like the way it feels, looks and styles when I haven't washed it for about week. The hair is a little thicker and doesn't have the waves in it it normally does. I need a way for it to be like that with out the dandruff problem.

    Please help, I'm a guy and have no idea what to do. Links to good websites about this and general advice would be nice.

    2) "Some large group of people really hates you." Actually, English is my first language, and I'm damn good at it. There is nothing wrong with that sentence, and it goes against your minimal intelligence that you were unable to fathom its simplicity. Try going through it a couple more times, someday you'll get it. Perhaps.

    3) What comments? Hey, just be glad it isn't "Post-Columbine Spider-Man in a Globalist Techno Geek World" so turn off the lights 'cause it's night on the sun +3 for spamming? Hmm... maybe I can pick up some extra karma too: Increase your ejaculation 800% with Ejacu-spurt! All natural, all legal, all herbal! "the" event? Which event is that?

Wil, do you sell pairs of used underwear, and if so, how much? You pedophiles disgust me. this fp brought to you buy the hardy boys...

    4) Congratulations, you have managed to bring in the ultimate buzzword: September 11th! Oh hot damn, isn't this great?

O you, as shocked and outraged as you may be, are the party guilty of flinging four pieces of shit in my direction.
