All (or at least most) of the cholesterol in your body is produced in your body in response to what you eat
How your body responds is dependent on your genetic makeup and general health, but loading your body with saturated fats and starving it in respect of minerals, vitamins etc. coupled with a lack of exercise will always make the majority of peoples bodies react by producing more cholesterol and stop it recycling what is already there...
This is largely irrelevant - on past form Microsoft will change the specification in the next version of Office and then there will be no systems that comply with the standard
Given a targeted or untargeted ad I prefer neither......Ads targeted to my demographic aren't targeted at me just people like me - but I am not a demographic
The classic ones are the "in your area" targeted ads, where they pick up on my IP address, which is registered to my ISP, who are based 150 miles away from me, so are totally irrelevant....
The Times piece probably written by a college sophomore for a newspaper... Since when did you need qualifications to write for a newspaper
Famous journalists are usually famous despite their bad journalism, and usually not because they are good writers?
Try doing this in the UK and hit the data protection act, this is personal data and so would have to be requested (and justified) for each specific user...
The Guardians who are neutral (Well there must be some non-americans who don't care)
On articles about people it is blindly enforced that unsourced unverified statements are removed immediately... it's very simple if you can't prove it remove it
...but you can ignore it if it gives you no opportunity to read the licence *before* accepting, and you can ignore it if it gives you no opportunity to refuse
So an automatic update with no interaction is very invalid ?
It might just be me but Cash is still in wide and regular use?
Most of the systems that have tried to replace it all try and be Credit/Debit cards which many people cannot be bothered to use for small transactions
The nearest so far is the Oyster card on the London transport system - pay for the journey by swiping a card that is filled up beforehand (like a pocketful of change....) anonymous and stealing it you only gets the current contents of the card (£90 maximum) so no worse than getting your wallet stolen
Most mass killings do not happen in Gun Free Zones - since there is at least one gun in the zone..... and they all happen in a gun friendly zone usually called the USA
This new camera will help with screening for knives, guns etc. that cannot be detected by a metal detector ?
The problem is yes.NET is nice but once you start you tend to get locked in.NET means you program in C# most of the time
you program on Windows most of the time
you use IIS
you program in Silverlight
you email with Outlook
you have an exchange server
you have a sharepoint server
and since these all interact so easily and have a common codebase then switching between them is easy, and switching to anything else is difficult, in the same way using the MS solution is easy and trying to replace any part of that solution with anything else is overly difficult
None of this is a problem until MS jack the price of one essential part up or on a whim decide to stop supporting one part (as they have done many times in the past) and you have to replace it with their next big idea...
Contrast this with non-MS systems that most parts can be replaced relatively easily because they are all produced by different people anyway and so have to interact via well known and documented interfaces that anyone can use, so there are likely to be several alternative applications to any one part of the solution
Mono on Linux is a red herring, and Silverlight on OSX is the same, development/assistance by MS will stop as soon as they have enough market share not to care anymore, and since much of the code is patented they can shut down any opensource efforts they no longer want to continue...
The main type of article that gets deleted to howls of complaint are new media articles, simply because they normally have few references to reliable sources, this is because they have sources but in many cases the sources are other blogs, websites etc. and are not considered reliable, so a website that gets many thousands of hits a day is not notable because it has not reliable sources because the only people who write about it are bloggers, it can only be resurrected if the old media notice it and start writing about it?
I expect it because the scheduler is supposed to be completely fair (it's in the name?) rather than biased towards processes that are highly active (which I would expect on a server)
Linux is a kernel, it is not a scheduler, there is nothing stopping anyone retrofitting the same algorithm into FreeBSD, or vice versa
Linux is not better just different same as OSX, Solaris, etc are different....
The CFS may not scale well (and this needs fixing) but this is still primarily a server benchmark
I expect (but don't know) that desktop performance and the performance of other applications would be better with CFS than the FreeBSD Scheduler?...but saying that it is nice to see that FreeBSD (which I always considered the Linux that wasn't) is a contender again if nothing else it will keep the competition on it's toes...

Extending an agreement without prior consent is illegal as well

Dogs were used in ancient times to assist in hunting
Cats were worshipped in ancient Egypt
Cats are in on great bargain ...
We feed them
We keep them warm and dry
We pay attention to them
They reduce our chance of a heart attack slightly so we can continue to look after them
Cats are simply using us as automatic can openers so they don't have to bother to learn...
