Really. It's been a while since I went there, but they are always eagerly looking for new cures for diabetes. Please, please go to that newsgroup and tell your theory there. I'll step back and watch as they flame you to a crisp...
Thanks - no mod points for me, please mod parent up max!
Let me add: Some times a movie may show a diabetic with a "low"[1] getting an injection in the emergency room. That injection is not insulin, because that would kill him, it's glucagon, which stimulates the liver to release glucose.
The rest of us would do well to give him a non-diet sweet drink, a piece of candy, or almost any kind of food. Unfortunately some type 1s have died in police custody because cops mistake a low for a roaring drunk.
There is a word that describes people without glucose in their blood. It's "dead". It's what happens if you shoot too much insulin. Every cell in your body needs glucose, it their fuel! If you don't eat carbohydrates at all, the body will start manufacturing glucose from fats and proteins. Unfortunately the byproducts of this process are poisonous and can kill you - WILL kill a diabetic. If you're not a diabetic, I think it's called the Atkins diet and can kill you by starvation:-0
For people skipping AC post, this is what he wrote:
Umm, if you're not ingesting carbohydrates, and don't have glucose in your blood, you won't need insulin (an incredibly destructive hormone anyway), and thus, your lost pancreatic islet cells can remain lost.
Alright, you did say "most people". But some are slim, physically active people who happen to have inherited one of a large number of genetic faults that cause their glucose metabolism to malfunction. Me, for example, I have never been overweight in my life - yet I have the same DM 2 condition that my mother and her mother had. Diagnosed at the age of 54. (I could have slugged that eye specialist. He examined my eyes carefully and told me I had no diabetic damage to my retinas. As I breathed a sigh of relief, he added, "but you have beginning cataracts on both eyes". Grrr... )
No completely safe way, but setting it to reply only to senders in your address book is a first step. Myself, I'd set it to reply only to senders inside the company (i.e. same domain name as my own address). Or, don't use an autoreply at all, but forward incoming mail to someone who can handle it in your absence.
An undiscriminate autoreplier is anathema to every mailing list operator...
Well - I work for a company with ~70,000 mail addresses. Any employee who was stupid enough to set up autoreplies like that would be reprimanded and told to 1). read the manual, 2) if you still dont' understand it, ask for assistance.
Well, the Earth's magnetic field shields against charged particles, to be sure - but such a weak field has very little effect on electromagnetic waves, such as visible light, ultraviolet and infrared, and the total energy supplied to the magneto- and atmosphere via charged particles is negligible compared to the EM irradiation. No source for the latter assertion, though, but if it had not been so, auroras would probably be a lot more spectacular:-)
I haven't got the numbers, but the pricing seems to be similar to e.g. Micro Focus Cobol products - Server Express, for example.
You also pay per seat, on some platforms there is a time lock on the license: once a license to use the compiler is checked out from the license server, it is tied to the user for one hour before any other user can use the compiler again - just to encourage the company to buy developer licenses for all seats.
Cogent is supposed to provide you with a service for 4 more years, right? Since their spam support prevents them from supplying that service, just tell them "breach of contract" and get out. Oh, you already prepaid for the whole period? So sue them, "non-delivery of service".
I'm about to not renew the contract with my old ISP - they do run a very good spam tagging program, but I don't want spam filtered - I want it blocked. As it is, I still have to check the spam filter for false positives (none so far...). The money will go to pay for a fixed IP address for the ADSL connection to my home mail server, which blocks spam using CBL and SPEWS. (Or since this is a home system, just use webmail to those on my address book that block dynamic IPs. Can't blame them.)
if God made us just the way we are, how come he built us out of spare chimp parts?
Reminds me of a joke series by a French cartoonist, drawings from Eden featuring God, Adam, Eve and a lot
of animals
Adam, slightly upset, leading a chimp by the hand, to Eve: "He even made a caricature of me!"
Perhaps not unconnected with the raid on The Pirate Bay - Swedish TV news ("Rapport") was told that the raid was (illegally!) ordered from government officials following talks with US authorities. Here in Norway an ex-prosecutor turned researcher has just come up with ideas about giving the *AA gangs permission to subpoena traffic data from ISPs (and possibly break into servers) looking for "illegal files". The IFPI leaned on an ISP to remove some mp3 files which turned out to be Grateful Dead concert recordings - then acknowledged that they goofed, which is something, I guess... my Tor server is up and running:-)
Would you be opposed to criminal penalties for someone who picks the lock on your front door, as long as he doesn't actually come in and steal anything?
The DMCA criminalizes the equivalent of picking the lock on your own house, or having a locksmith do it for you.
Interesting. So it has nothing to do with Office/OpenOfficeorg, actually, it's in the user interface of the operating system.
Someone (TM) should write up a comparison list showing the corresponding features in KDE/GNOME. At first glance most of the XP features have exact counterparts in KDE, at least. I have tried text to speech in KDE, but so far it's only available in a few languages.
So what's the news in TFA? One-time cipher TTY tapes have been made since at least the middle of last century using radioactive sources as random number generators. Yes, there is a definite distribution[0] of the intervals between decays in a piece of radioactive rock, but it's still random.
[0] it's been too long, let me guess Poisson-distribution?
Actually, grandparent's spelling and grammar seems quite excellent considering that English probably is his third or fourth language. I've certainly seen worse here from native speakers - and no, I'm not a native speaker of English, either. Sometimes it shows:-)

Of course - I guess my glucose level was not quite right as I typed several posts here :-)

I'm glad posters with knowledge showed up to hold back the flood of BS

PEBKAC.

Still no cigar.
Read again - it says .05 % per DECADE, not per year. Still off by a factor of 10.

According to Spider Robinson,the opposite of terrorism is to commit random acts of senseless kindness - like handing out FOSS CDs ...
The CAN-SPAM act specifies what spammers must do to legally send spam. It does not require anyone to receive spam. But ICBW, IANAL

Please look up the difference between "state" as in "The United States" and "sovereign country" as in "The United Kingdom".
I seem to recall an alien species in a Retief book that speaks like that.
:-)
Retief holding a gun to crook's head: "The inadvisability of movement."
I am laughing out loud: Just below your post, the /. quip generator said, "Did you know - that no one ever reads these things?"
