It's not advisable to take over 10,000 IU of vitamin D daily(this is the tolerable upper limit for a single, daily dose, D3/colecalciferol is suggested, instead of D2). Also, it's advisable to take calcium with vitamin D and some magnesium probably wouldn't hurt....
Various studies suggest vitamin D protects against muscle weakness, is involved in the regulation of the heartbeat, and 57% of a group of people considered low-risk for vitamin D deficiency were found to have below-normal levels.
What I think is easily overlooked is the term "routine" in the following sentence: "Nutrition experts contend that all we need is what's typically found in a routine diet." Because routine is often defined as: "A prescribed, detailed course of action to be followed regularly; a standard procedure."
I suppose if we are all trained dietitians/nutritionists that should be easy-peasy, but for the vast majority of us?
Let us not forget simple facts like salt is iodized because most people would be deficient otherwise. Foods are often fortified and enriched because we would become nutrient deficient otherwise.
It also ignores niches within groups, such as this tidbit from WebMD: "... researchers found the most effect on people who were in extreme conditions, such as marathon runners. In this group, taking vitamin C cut their risk of catching a cold in half." Perhaps stressing the importance of exercise to achieve more optimal well-being. The NLM suggests people living in very cold temperatures also stand to benefit from vitamin C supplements, and I imagine that marathon running in a cold environment... better take some C!
Unfortunately, the studies, in general, are far from conclusive and in many cases present conflicting conclusions. Many studies also appear to ignore synergies between vitamins/minerals -- that groups often aid proper absorption and misgroupings can cause malabsorption or even leeching. For instance, I'd be interested in a study that compares EmergenC to 1 gram 'plain' vitamin C, because I'd imagine EmergenC is going to be more effective. Or maybe eating an orange or some fruit/veg with a certain amount of C VS just that amount of C by itself.
Like my momma always said, "where you going to find [insert practically any single vitamin/mineral] all by itself in nature that we actually eat?!" Even sea salt has lots of trace minerals! She was all about eating right FIRST and using supplements sparingly as backup (like Vit D in the winter months, to compensate for less sun on the skin). That's a great plan, IMO, but I doubt most people routinely do that.
Opera has site preferences that include content blocking and script preferences. You don't need add-ons for these. Dragonfly is also built in, so you don't need a FireBug.
For instance, right click any web page, choose Block Content... click that annoying advertisement. Click 'Done', and you're done. There are also files available that automatically populate the content blocking with known advertisement servers.
Or right-click a page and choose site preferences, and there are options for things such as enabling/disabling of JS, etc.
Though my ISP is Qwest. I assigned a password they should not of known, yet they're still able to configure the modem remotely. I'm guessing they have a different "backdoor" method of accessing the modem/router(it runs Busybox).
My friend likes Macs.
He got his grandpa to use a Mac.
So his grandpa went to a website, that clearly looked like Windows, that told him he had a virus! So he tried to download and run the EXE, you know, to fix the virus.
Yea, so anyway, his point was something about Windows being insecure.
PWN2OWN! Mac OS X 'lost', get over it. It has already been compromised. Install software that 97-98% of REAL PEOPLE use and there's a vunerability somewhere. Stop blaming the OS(it's only doing what it was made to do). If you have a firewall and 'magically' get infected... well it was really YOUR OWN DAMN FAULT! If you don't have a firewall... STFU, you're stupid... oh yea -get one. Then re-evaluate your software.
You're welcome.
I don't think you understand Windows history at all.
Windows 95 aka 4.0 to Vista aka 6.0. Is two major versions. Compared to half that by Apple. Over a decade of development compared to about half of that by Apple.
Are you smoking crack?
Read the fucking updates for OS X. They're mostly applications within the OS!
Read my journal for over 2 dozen bugs I found in OS X.5!
I use Windows 2000, and will until at least 2010.
Come to think of it I can't recall a single bug in Windows 2000 SP4! And SP1,2,3,4 are significant updates.
Here's some examples of Apple 'updates':
iTunes logo was changed.
Mail (e-mail client)
Terminal â" the Terminal was a feature that allowed access to Mac OS X's underpinnings, namely the Unix core.
Mail â" An adaptive spam mail filter.
TextEdit â" TextEdit now is also compatible with Microsoft Word (.doc) documents.
Quicktime this and that. Safari this and that. iCal, iChat, and so on.
They list HUNDREDS of improvements, like a service pack. Nothing as revolutionary as 9x to NT, or NT to Vista.
Plus there's Windows 95a,b and c. Windows 98, and 98se(the good one). Windows NT3,4,5(2k). Pro, Server, Advanced Server, and Data Center. Windows XP Home and Professional. Windows Server 2003. Windows Vista(lol). And in the works Windows 7.
To compare Windows with a tiny company like Apple in terms of development is HILARIOUSLY RIDICULOUS! As is your argument.
Microsoft probably spends more on R&D than Apple makes in revenue.
I'd say 9x to NT was a similar leap from OS9 to OSX. Now that's MAJOR! Having only used OS X.4 and OS X.5, the differences aren't major, IMO. Lots of minor things, fixes mostly(and uhm, Spaces, which is buggy and illogical). Windows SP's do these kind of mass fixes for FREE, and SP's seem more major(but mostly tons of minor fixes). Plus there are multiple SP's given for free.
All-in-all, Windows offers much more support per dollar.
I guess it's a matter of priority. I have really never needed one-button access to the start or end of a document. In programming I use home/end a lot to go to the start and end of lines. I'd say I go to the start or end of lines 100 times more than the start or end of a document. So excuse me for thinking that should take precedence, and a one-key solution. While ctrl+home/end would be a better alternative to going to the start ot end of a document. Oh wait, that's how Windows works(and probably other *nix). If +90% of users do it that way it MUST be wrong??
Huh? Buy it, Use it, discard it(upgrade/get a new meal). The 'digestion' period may be a lot longer, but they say on average one dies with 15-20 pounds of impacted fecal matter in the colon...(those programs you just can't part with no matter how much better you might feel). You're saying every piece of software you've used that you've never stopped using it?
I agree, but it's somewhat off-topic... and flamebait(I HATE ALL BIG BUSINESS!! oh well!). Ethically, I think Linspire is 'slightly' worse than Apple, which is why I mentioned them(they're also smaller). And I'm not sure if it's directed at me.... But I'm well aware of what a BSD license is. I don't take issue with that alone. It's the GPL(GNU) being married with BSD/Unix to produce the average Mac OS X desktop(the selling point) that I find unethical. Apple has substantial portions of software under GPL. If they stuck with a common license, either way, I'd have no argument. GNU (is) NOT UNIX!
I'm guessing Microsoft never, ever said this(unless you badly re-word an end of product cycle). That would be akin to Apple using truthful advertising. Or the PC-teacher guy on TV saying "Please DON'T use my product"
The superficiality is getting to you, my friend. Be like the majority of us and dislike Mac because using it is like throwing a hotdog down a hallway.
I couldn't think of a better food analogy.... I'm sorry.

That's repugnant.

I'm pretty sure IE is still integrated into Explorer.exe, which is the default shell of Windows.

Who can blame them?! No one wants their product to be compared to a Mac!
