It is common knowledge that Kermit is dying. Everyone knows that ever hapless Kermit is mired in an irrecoverable and mortifying tangle of fatal trouble. It is perhaps anybody's guess as to which Kermit is the worst off of an admittedly suffering Kermit community. The numbers continue to decline for Windows but Kermit may be hurting the most. Look at the numbers. The erosion of user base for Kermit continues in a head spinning downward spiral.
All major marketing surveys show that Kermit has steadily declined in market share. Kermit is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Kermit is to survive at all it will be among hobbyist dilettante dabblers. In truth, for all practical purposes Kermit is already dead. It is a dead man walking.
Maybe it's me, but I wouldn't take an mp3 player with a hard drive jogging.
You're not supposed to shake around a hard drive too much or else there will be a head crash on it. Ram based mp3 players do not have this problem, obviously.
I've known this problem quite well, and I've started to address it.
The first thing I did that I think has helped me out is seriously get a gym membership.
I go to 24 hour fitness. I know they're not everywhere in the US, but pretty much any gym should suffice.
Get a personal trainer. Even if just for a few sessions in the beginning. I've found it helpful to learn how to use the machines without possibly injuring myself in the process.
I've bounced around a lot in weight. The problem I've found with a routine is that I end up quitting or cutting down on things when I get injured. So having someone to help teach you the basics is vital.
Watch what you eat. I cannot stress this enough. The best way I have this figured out is to create a daily meal plan with calories, etc. Since my sister owns three Subways, I end up going to Subway twice a day to get food. I typically get a meatball at night, and a turkey during the day. For you, a regular sandwich should do fine.
Doing things around the office isn't really enough. Nutritionists and doctors say that you need at least 20 minutes of cardiovascular exercise at a time in order for the effects to really take place. Yes, climbing the stairs at work might help bit by bit, but you're cheating yourself out of something consistent.
Drink less beer! The cause of a beer gut typically is your liver increasing in size. Since the liver has an incredible ability to regenerate, if you cut down on getting drunk, your liver should be fine within 8-10 months.
Finally, quit caffiene. I know that ThinkGeek promotes it like crazy, but it's seriously not worth it. I've felt better since I've quit. I used to drink three 1-liter bottles of diet coke a day. I've been regular hours since I've stopped.
All this, and you should start noticing improvements. I started feeling better within a week of starting. Stick at it for a month, and you'll lose a few pounds. Stick at it for a year, and who knows.
Maybe I'm the only one thinking this,
but since Buffy is no longer on TV, taking up the nerd demographic, shouldn't they instead focus on bringing Dilbert back on the air?
For the most part, the stations get it. Do NOT align your shows with other stations so that you're vying for the same demographic. This was dilbert's failure, and this is why it tanked.
If / when this Tron-clone show fails, I hope it's not because of their poor choice on where to have it.

Didn't he quit NullSoft? And wasn't that story posted on Slashdot too?
Why do you have a copy of Kazaa on your computer, Clarice?
Seven of Nine, Dumbshit!
I'm sorry, but geek and pedo don't go together.... at least not all of the time :D
Seriously, imagine what kind of target this would be for terrorism.

Huh? No one on slashdot saw that movie? Nevermind...

Are you purposely proposing Clone Wars (tm)?
Another win for Captain Obvious!
I think Jon Katz posted a shorter article, but that was on April Fools Day.
Terminator 4: Election Day!

What? The goatse.cx guy can walk? I don't see how.
Thank you Nvidia. Other than a having a girlfriend, you have given me most of my dignity back.
That sounds like something that Michael Jackson would say...
If so, I guess that's the kind of glove he likes wearing nowadays.
Yes, so can I if she passed gas within 20 feet from me.
Yeah, imagine THAT as a slashdot topic of conversation in 5 years... What's next? Slashdot talk of sex and porn?
*crickets chirping*
RIGHT?
Due to the fact that you fantasize about things like this, let me guess...
Heh.
Keanu Reeves as Siddharta? The thought of it makes me bleed out my ears.
I have no qualms in worshipping Carrie Ann Moss, though.
