Parent is definitely right. What if the implementation of the filesystem has issues and the data is not correctly saved? Doesn't matter if you backup or not if you're using a shoddy filesystem which doesn't save correctly then the data will ultimately be lost.
That may work with smoking but getting a kid to take all the Heroin they have or Meth will surely end in an O/D. And for opposing anecdotal evidence I had friends that gauranteed addiction to smoking when their parents forced them to smoke the whole packet (they were social smokers before then). They just did it on the sly afterwards.
That Lindy Hop looks insane! That'd be great for fitness and does look fun.
I'll second Yoga. It is definitely good for fitness and meeting other people. I've seen a variety of people at a bikram yoga class (yoga in 40C so expect to sweat and sit out a lot on your first class) ranging from A-grade football stars to people just interested in staying flexible and strong. Just be prepared to open your mind to the spiritual stuff or you'll not get along too well with most I've spoken to. There are some yoga classes around here that don't do spiritual so just look around. It's also a good start to building fitness and core strength before you try more intense sports (something probably needed before Lindy Hop! That looks like an awesome workout)
The thing is that a person that is truly interested in you will not care if you are a geek or not. They will accept you for who you are no matter what. I've got tradie friends, uni friends, geeks, gamers, dancers, athletes, etc who I would all could good friends of mine and I proudly call myself a geek
Dancing is definitely a great way to meet people and if meeting women is what you want then you will find very few places better (where else can you take someone from their friends for one-on-one time without looking like a complete jerk?). It also helps build confidence and gives you a great opportunity to talk to all people. In the circles I dance in (mostly latin dancing) most people talk to anyone. If you're alone then you will find that people will often talk to you and if you become talented (IT people, especially developers, also have a mind for patterns so picking up the basics should be quick) you will have men and women coming up and talking to you. Sure this is anecdotal but I've come across a few IT workers out dancing who can relate.
Another sport which I do that I've found great to meet people of similar mind is Capoeira. That is a sport that will keep you insanely fit and is full of the more geeky of us. I also find that when you take up a social activity like these, or any which you enjoy, you will have something immediately in common with other people which is what is needed to start friendships.
And the music of the 90s was just a dirtier rock of the 70s and 80s!
I call bullshit. Whenever someone has said "Music these days is pure garbage" I always expect to read "and git orf me lorn you damn youngins!" straight after it. So your tastes don't match the tastes of the youth these days, your parents would likely have thought exactly the same. If you are a youth and you prefer the older classics then yay for you too. Music has changed over the years so get use to it. Buy your old stuff, tune into your classic radio stations and then leave the rest to us that enjoy a lot of the new music
Is that number of console units or number of game units? I'd think it'd be a bit difficult to measure how many game units are owned by customers before you've shipped it.
In Australia things that identify you are weighted. eg. A licence, birth certificate and passport is 40 points, medicare card/bank card are 30 and addressed envelopes weigh in around 20 (I think. Numbers might be inaccurate as I haven't had to produce so much id in a few years but I do remember you almost always need 3 items)
So you just produce a licence, your medicare card and your bank card (all usually within your wallet, and your licence has your address) and you can produce 100 points of id.
In Australia this isn't too much to ask for. Hell, the old consultancy firm I use to work for charged most consultants out at $150 p/h, project managers at $200 and architects at >$250. If they were in a different state they'd charge accordingly but the cheapest they'd charge any consultant out at was $120. You, however, got fuck all of that but that's how business is. You have admin staff, sales staff, rent, facilities, computers, support staff, etc all to come out of the $120 p/h (although there the support staff had billable jobs to do too)
I remember back in the mid-late 90s before bonzi buddy became the little purple ape. It was a series of short animations staring a squirrel, or something similar, that would interact with your desktop. He'd suffer relationship issues, duke it out with a regular adversary and play with your mouse (I think. I'm sure some of the episodes were interactive). He never asked for your personal details, never contained viruses and was nothing more then an animated series.
"Excess carbs" is definitely key here. Some people survive on 30g/carbs a day keto diets (or Atkins) but everybody is different. Yes, again, more anecdotal but we all have our own experiences which we reflect on. For me to cut my carbs down I just don't function the same. I can't think straight and find it harder to function so I find the insightful key here is definitely the "excess" statement. Like everything in life though "All in moderation"
Thank you. I do understand that my single anecdote doesn't even compare to research but to understand calories out vs calories in for being healthy shouldn't really be rocket science.
The article definitely implies causation but the researcher seems to be more leaning towards correlation by a long way.
"One possible part of the explanation is that people who see they are beginning to gain weight may be more likely to switch from regular to diet soda," Fowler suggests. "But despite their switching, their weight may continue to grow for other reasons. So diet soft-drink use is a marker for overweight and obesity."
I'll take the researchers word over the way a shock article is written any day. I work in a health research institute so I think when they next run their 'diet' seminars I'll go along and ask if there are any definitive papers either way.
Having lost 40kg myself, but over longer (thanks to injuries), I always have to give props to people that lose a lot of weight as I know how damn hard it is. Was model quality in the teens then change in life style led me to being, well, a fat arse. I also started losing weight exactly the same too. The move to Coke Zero.
God damn, not this shit again. How do you tell people what they think tastes good and tastes bad? It's all up to the individual. I can't stand the taste of beer, any beer and I've tried my fair share, yet that's an absolutely huge industry so surely there are just a lot of people out there that just have bad taste right?
Your assumption that "diet" soda helps with obesity is statistically false
Can you find an article that proves this point? I switched from real coke to Coke Zero and lost a few kg's in weeks, just because I cut the sugar out. I've come across a fair few people that experienced the same. These days I watch my diet pretty strictly, which is what you do when you start looking at promo work, and it does come down to moderation and calorie control but cutting out just under 200kcal per can of coke and having coke zero for the caffiene hit becomes quite the saving. 1lb of fat can be lost by cutting out 3000kcal so don't have 3cans of coke a day but try something diet and you'll save that per week.
And yes, everyones body is different in how it burns but to say that people cutting the sugary shit out of their drinks is statistically false needs citing.
Awww man. I was hoping for an analogy. Something like 'Toast with butter on top is still really good and even though I don't have your money I plan to eat it and live long and happy' or something just as terrible =(
Wolf was also convicted of soliciting a dominatrix online for sexual services, a misdemeanor.
Definitely his choice if he wants to be slapped around like the naughty little boy he apparently is. I hope, for his sake, that he won't have to serve any amount of prison time or he'll get all the rough love he can handle.
FTFA:
David Carto, the attorney who handled Wolf's appeal, told Threat Level that Wolf was prosecuted because authorities disapproved of the material he viewed online.
"The reason he was prosecuted was clearly because of the content of what he was looking at," he said. "If somebody else had been on an internet site studying horticulture, I don't think he would have been prosecuted. It was not obscene. It was just something that was not approved of by certain elements of the city government and by the court in which he was tried. The prosecutor and the judge both treated this basically as a sex offense."
So I read this that the judge and prosecution couldn't find an adequate sex offense charge, apart from consulting a dominatrix which is a misdemeanor, so they hit him with the best they could which happened to be the poorly worded anti-hacking law.
As for NoScript's meddling with AdBlock, my personal belief is that is okay as long as the meddling involves only the showing of NoScript's as since I am using NoScript for free. I wouldn't mind if AdBlock meddled with NoScript to show AdBlock's, and only AdBlock's, own ads.
I think the GP's main point was that you say it's alright for noscript to force their ads upon you as you use their software for free but it's not fine for other content publishers to force their ads upon you. So what gives noscript the right to unblock their ads when, say,/. can't unblock ads as it doesn't have an invasive plugin but is also free to use and a good source of news and information? Personally I think that a site that is continually evolving and changing can demand more revenue then a plugin that can be written once and then simply maintained but that is another discussion.
hahaha
I'm sorry but I just had this image of a 'typical', fat, gamer geek, jumping in his mums basement, screaming for her help as he had never seemed to notice the cobwebs surrounding him
Now in a lame attempt to try and be on topic; as has been said by others I've found that I got over the fear of spiders as well. Growing up on acreage with spiders that are longer then a house brick helped. I will admit though, I still don't walk under golden orb webs as I'd say even Rambo would scream like a little bitch if one of those fell on him.

Before anyone jumps on me. L is the recipient ... I think it's too late for this
It's a sex joke. The F is male, L is female, o is a barrel
