Unfortunately, Google is using a 3+ year old map of my sub division which has had roads moved, added and renamed. http://www.ca.map24.com/ is up to date for me.
Same here, but for http://www.us.map24.com/ My parents moved into a new subdivision 3 years ago. Map24 shows it, whereas Google Maps does not.
the mouse box-zoom feature on Map24 is tres cool, too.
I've noticed this with Dell for a while now. Sometimes Dell will have different prices, sales, or coupons codes for the different stores. If you don't know of a particular discount from elsewhere, such as a coupon web site, you have to check EACH STORE. SEPARATELY.
I take it that since this irks me, I must not be their targeted customer, so I plan to buy elsewhere.
In retrospect, my comments about initial weight loss and glycogen had more to do with the induction phase. Eliminating the blood glucose roller coaster is a goal that isn't terribly unique to Atkins. "Good" carbs (complex carbs) don't cause it; it's the "bad" carbs (simple sugars).
Your description of insulin is a bit inaccurate. Insulin doesn't do the conversion of sugars to fat per se. Insulin is needed to transport glucose into almost every kind of cell. Brain and liver cells do not require insulin for this. Inside the cell insulin then activates several enzymes that are involved in glycogen synthesis. If/when the amount of glycogen is sufficiently large, the excess glucose is then redirected to fatty acid synthesis. Liver cells synthesize one part of the triglyceride molecule while fat cells synthesize the other parts.
So with regard to fat loss, the upshot is that a diet whose sugars (if any) consisted entirely of simple sugars would cause the person not to accumulate fat if 1) that person does not eat too much simple sugar, and 2) does not eat more than maintenance calories overall.
The key to weight loss is increase in muscle mass (weightlifting) and excercise, and not so much how much food you eat.
But still, you won't lose "fat weight" if you overeat.
my muscles need to rebuild from the excersice, that energy has to come from somewhere, and if i restrict my diet, it has to come from my bodyfat.
Muscles cannot be synthesized from fatty acids, but only from protein. You probably meant that your energy is derived from body fat, and that's correct.
Atkins in a nutshell: The induction period causes you to burn off your glycogen ("carb") stores. Stored with that is a lot of water. So the initial drop is weight is largely water weight. Eventually your body will have to get its energy from protein and fats. Since you are eating few carbs, the body will scavenge whatever proteins it can find in order to metabolise fatty acids. The protein has to come from your diet or from your muscles, but since the Atkins diet is a high protein diet, the potential for lean muscle loss is lowered.
Maybe it's a matter of your X config or the hardware itself. I use a compaq notebook with a Radeon 9000/9200 under xorg and radeonfb. The external monitor port just happened to be on when I first tried it. In fact, hitting Fn+F4 doesn't even turn off the signal. (btw, there's also the 'flgrx' driver, but i haven't tried it.)
I'd like to draw the topic's attention to a very recent book: "Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed", by Jared Diamond (whom many may know as the author of "Guns, Germs, and Steel.") He treats many of these ideas in detail and at length.
Thanks, this looks interesting. Here's a excerpt from one review that seems appropo:
What determines a society's fate, Diamond concludes, is how well its leaders and citizens anticipate problems before they become crises, and how decisively a society responds. Such factors may seem obvious, yet Diamond marshals overwhelming evidence of the short-sightedness, selfishness, and fractiousness of many otherwise robust cultures. He reveals that many leaders were (and are) so absorbed with their own pursuit of power that they lost sight of festering systemic problems.
Gillian Anderson is *the* Scully in my book. But some people over on fark today noticed how Gillian is looking a bit (too) lean these days. Link to article with pic.
As long as you block the public from accessing your webserver (e.g., hidden URL, alternate port (like 22)), are the cable companies really going to hound you for sharing your private gallery? I would say to try it anyway. Hopefully Comcast doesn't have the time to monitor traffic content.
So... the trick is to use some form of plain-text encryption that doesn't appear to be anything but a somewhat long-winded normal message discussing the weather or the latest playoffs.
Something like text based steganography (demo 1, demo 2)? Slashdot has covered steganography before.
I can't see the breakthrough either. IOW, biochemistry at its core is about cycles of reactions. The products of one reaction become the ingredients for the next, and eventually the system returns to the original state. Call it a limit cycle (see: physics) or an oscillatory reaction (see: chemistry), but it's applied to biology. Calling this Morse code is simply media sensationalization.
Just think of it. Roughly speaking, life is a nonequilibrium steady state, but death is equilibrium.
"Defendants' knowing misappropriation and disclosure of Apple's trade secrets constitutes a violation of California law and has caused irreparable harm to Apple," the lawsuit states.
I wouldn't necessary call a quadrupling of my company's stock price in four years "irreparable".
John Q. Public is a generic name used to refer to a hypothetical typical member of society, particularly in the USA.
He is presumed to have no strong political or social biases relevant to whatever topic is at hand, and to represent the randomly selected "man on the street". He is also known as John Q. Citizen. Also roughly equivalent are John Doe, Joe Six-pack, and Joe Schmoe. Female equivalents include Jane Q. Public, Jane Winecooler, and Ann Yone (from anyone).
In Internet culture, the generic name of choice is J. Random Something, for instance J. Random Hacker (MIT, 1960s) to refer to an arbitrary hacker or programmer. This formation is thought to be taken from the name of J. Presper Eckert, builder of one of the first digital computers.
I was introduced to ClarisWorks (2.x, iirc) as part of my mac's academic bundle. It was plenty useful, especially with the formatting flexibility I wanted at the time. When gnumeric was born, I sadly did not find a way to export the CW data. I looked at Excel for a intermediate format to no avail. That was years ago. Anyway, thanks for the great program, Bob. In a way I still miss it.
United Devices has begun a new and exciting research project -- the Human Proteome Folding Project -- in collaboration with the Institute for Systems Biology, the University of Washington, and IBM Corporation.
True story. I sent a resume printed to PDF from OO. I had previewed the PDF with PageDown, not noticing that the document was one continuous piece of paper. I sent the resume.
When I followed up with the employer, they told me they had problems printing the document and were trying to cut and paste together a printable version. (!!!) Why they just didn't ask for a new document or simply reject my application, I don't know.
Seems to me that the authorities could just burn the data to optical media. There's no need for infinite hard drive storage. In that case the police wouldn't record everyone's data, but all the data of any "persons of interest".
I've heard of running Firefox/Thunderbird off of USB Jump Drives. Then you get to keep your bookmarks too. You'd have a case that you didn't "install" anything on any lab computer
But in that case, when you cross the path of an ignorant, overzealous "sysadmin", you will get chewed out or flagged for disciplinary action for attempting to bypass security.

I still think that corn CDs are the best idea... you'll just need to reburn every once in a while.
But if they make corn DVDs, we will then have pr0n on corn.
People don't like nukes, especially nuclear material attached to a rocket that may malfunction while trying to leave the atmosphere.
Problem solved if you mined and built the nuke in space.
I don't know offhand if the moon qualifies. Short of that, I'm sure the local interplanetary WalMart might work.

it sure does seem like a waste to throw away the other 14 pieces of toast when I had only wanted 2.

Anyhoo, I still didn't get the job.
Fantastic, now we have to deal with people stopping to gawk at accidents on the road AND on the internet.
As a moderate techno-nerd, I am wondering what the delay time is between a traffic incident and having it show up on these traffic portals.
Now, for my experiment, I will need some volunteers from the audience....

What's wrong with their food replicator?
I have a laptop!
It's ok baby, I have a extra 12-cell in my wallet. I'm good for 2.5 more hours or so.
Now it can be demonstrated that "You're not thinking hard enough" is real.
