I'm so glad there are people out there that are willing to protect you by killing the life you were too ignorant to keep from creating and now to irresponsible to bear.
After all, it's more of a matter of convenience to you than killing innocent people.
I tried this sig but it was too big: This sig has been removed in the name of Political Correctness so as to not offend people - be they men, women, both, or neither.
I will also no longer celebrate Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, American Independence, V-E Day, V-J Day, D Day, or Labor day to keep from offending Pagans, Wiccans, Native Americans, Jewish people, Muslim people, the British, the Italians, the Japanese, the Germans, or the unemployed.
If you feel you are offended because you have been excluded, please by all means, let me know.
The point of my sig is that, in relation to this website, most people aren't whistleblowers, victims of abuse, etc. So if they're going Anon Coward it's because they're probably trying to be trolls or have opinions but their convictions aren't strong enough to stand behind them. And if that's the case, your opinion probably isn't worth sharing so why waste everyone's time.

If I'm not mistaken, wasn't one of the things about communism that the same jobs all got paid the same money? Or do I have that confused with Marxism?
I mean, it's great you got Communism summed down to a one liner - dictionary.com does the same thing with Marxism. But if I'm not mistaken, Marx wrote more than one line about his theories.
Either way, "equal pay for all" is still an impossible concept.
I beg your pardon but someone will always be paying below average wages.
See the thing about averages is that there's a bottom, a middle, and a top. Or a left, middle, and right. Or maybe a better way to put it is that to graphically represent an average there has to be two points on opposite sides of the represented average.
If Walmart paid higher wages, then someone else would be paying "below average" wages, etc etc.
And I know some people aren't taught this, but, there's always someone at the bottom.
Low pay is not illegal, it's not even unethical. If Wal-Mart raised their pay rates, they'd have to fire people. So ask yourself, do you want fewer people making more money, or more people making "less than average" money?
I think the real problem most people have when doing a light cardio session or two per day is that they are not changing their diet enough to stop gaining weight.
Between all of the advertisements for certain supplements and the "eat all the bacon you can!" diets it doesn't surprise me a bit that Americans, atleast, can't lose weight. But even when they do it seems they think "Oh I'm all better, back to my previous ways!" and eventually the weight comes stacking back on and they can't figure out why.
I acknowledged to one of the first responders that I was a bit quick to post and not edit or re-think. What most people consider "cardio" is what I was referring to. The 10-20 minute jaunts on a bike or running that, over time, increase your metabolism but in themselves don't really burn any calories.
In all honesty my workout regiment is 6 days a week with a mix of cardio and weight lifting due to the importance of cardio in a workout and in health in general.
95% - I am looking for the source for that number and if I can find it I will post it. I just read it within the last few days so it's likely I misread a statement that was trying to emphasize that for most people it's the calories you burn the 23.5 hours you're not working out that matter more than the few you do while working out.
My cardio is 15 minutes on a bike at what the bike probably labels as "medium difficulty" (I don't know the brand/make, but it goes to level 20 i think, I average level 10 - peaking at level 20 twice and dipping no less than 7) over 15 minutes then do a light 10 minute jog followed by a lot of stretching. Unfortunately for me I don't have a partner for any of my working out and - I lost my iPod:-( so not even music while i work out.
I started out at 235 pounds about 3 years ago. Running got me down to about 215, dieting got me down to about 200-2005, and then combining those two with weight lifting I dipped down to 190. Unfortunately I graduated college, lost access to the gym, and moving 3 times in 3 months killed my ability to diet (I never knew where I was going to be so grocery shopping was never a good idea). I just started the "Abs Diet" by the editor of Men's Health and I've lost 4lbs in a little over one week.
if I could go back and edit and my post, I would because I was bit quick to type and submit.
Hell I personally owe weight loss to running.
I was targetting people that do very little running compared to you (which includes me these days).
But I know a lot of people that only run 10-20 minutes per day or less and expect to lose weight that way. It's good for their heart, and it'll bump up their metabolism a bit, but the amount of calories they burn during that small run isn't enough to work off a snickers bar or their morning cup of coffee.
The hours you dedicate to working out (which is a little bit more than me) is a lot more than other people dedicate to it because they all expect the equivalent of a get rich quick scheme. Because of the hours you dedicate to cardio you burn a very large amount of calories and in turn maintain a high calorie diet. That rocks, and I support it wholeheartedly. Lord knows your aerobic and endurance capabilities are probably 10 times that of mine right now.
So I apologize for my incorrect blanket statement.
BTW, it's very easy to contribute your weight loss to your exercise regime - You worked out atleast 3 hours a day for 5 days a week plus whatever on the weekend. That's just crazy good. Most of us don't have the time to do that.. or prefer to do other things with their time.. either way _congratulations_. It isn't easy and anyone with the determination to change their physique deserves a hearty pat on the back
I don't make my pro-health speeches from a "Always have been and always will be skinny/ripped/Ahnold" point of view. I played sports until high school and then got sucked in by the whole "Linux" thing and by the end of my freshman year of college was a nice 6' 235lb fatty. Took me two years of eating less + eating healthier and *running* as well as lifting weights to get down to 200lbs.
Now I'm moving to a much more focused diet, more focused cardio program, and better lifting workout.
You'll lose weight when you build muscle because your lean muscle mass burns more calories per day than you could possibly burn during a 30 minute workout. When I do my 4.5 mile "strenuous" bike ride at lunch I still only burn about 150-200 calories. Considering I eat about 2000-2500 depending on the day, that's nothing.
It's also much more important what you eat instead of what you don't eat. Sodas are the worst thing on the planet since they're so many calories and do absolutely nothing to fill you. And even if you lost weight but were still eating like a horse, that probably isn't a good thing. Just because you look like you're in great shape doesn't mean you are - Ask Arnold about his Quadruple Heart Bypass surgery... or David Letterman's Quintuple... When you consume high protein foods your body spends a large amount of calories trying to digest that food, upwards of 25 calories per 100 consumed. Whereas is burns 10-15 per 100 for fats and carbs.
Statistics show that high protein dieters are twice as likely to lose abdominal fat than other dieters. And up to 48 hours after lifting weights your body is still feeling the effects of liftweights, doing things like burning fat.
Actually 95% of the calories you burn are at resting heart beat. And for every pound of lean muscle you burn 50 calories per day. The amont of calories you burn at a work out are almost worthless. That's why the best way to lose weight is : high protein low sugar diet and weight lifting. Cardio is good for working your heart but it won't make you lose weight.
And it's very likely for him to lose fat from his arse before he loses it from his gut. Men lose it from certain parts before others. For instance, I lost it from my face, arms, and legs first. Now I'm having to completely alter my diet to lose it from my belly and chest because working out just isn't enough.

Spying? Who gives a crap about spying. I'm on the Internet, I can't 100% protect myself no matter what.
/. runs stories constantly about the "Great Firewall of China". Even your beloved Google bends to their whims.
But China does control content.
Excellent point!
Let's put them in charge of television and newspapers now!
oh wait..
That you put the government in the control of the flow of information when you let them provide you with Internet access?
Is everyone ignoring China and what's happening there?
Hey, if you want to put a Liberty Tree in the middle of my town for anonymous communication, by all means go for it.
But we're not exactly posting things here to change the world.
Everyone is going to go off on how we should pay higher taxes to subsidize medical care and be protectionists.

You missed the point of his post entirely.
Bill Gates' rise to fame and power is because of his skill as a businessman - which I'm sure can be attributed to the laywer heritage he comes from.
Kildall was a programmer - pure and simple. He didn't stand a chance on the open market against Gates.

No, you're right. You got me.
If everyone were paid the same then this wouldn't be an issue at all.
Communism now!!
Damn pinkos.

Water is the only fluid that has the ability to climb surfaces due to its cohesiveness.
It's soo much better than this. They constantly look at Europe as a bastion of perfection and what the U.S. should be...
But they don't complain about France not having overtime for employees...
Or complain about how the very protectionist politics that France uses prevents U.S. software that they make from being sold in the U.S....
I could go on, but who cares since I'll just be mod'd a troll for disliking France.
Or the IBM adapters that have been recalled?
Right except this plot goes like this:
Beloved Spare Marine discovers the UAC is responsible for the death of his parents and there's a love story involved.
WTF? That's not in the game. Game involved killing, killing and more killing. Not parents and women.
Leave women to the Duke Nukem movie!

Oh well, hey thanks for the discussion.
You can thank the Democrats for the lack of education though.

No, you just ban things you think people shouldn't do like..

But you support the things you do do, like drugs.
Neither one is good for you, but since *you* do those things it's ok.
