Yes both are metabolized by the liver directly from Fructose/Alcohol to Fatty Acids. It isn't exactly the same mechanism, since alchol requires some extra steps, but still leads to fat stomach or fat butt.
SUGAR also breaksdown into fructose and metabolizes by the liver into fatty acids. So sugar is no better.
What I don't understand is why people demonize High Fructose Corn Syrup. It has the same number of calories as Sugar. It breaks-down in the body the same way (fructose and glucose). There's no real difference.
(1) Danica is GoDaddy's spokesperson, hence the reference. (2) Go back 10 years and you'll see Danica was quite hot. Like Anna Kournikova she should have been a model rather than enter sports. (IMHO)
On the (very) rare times when that happens, then yes I will put the two windows side-by-side so I can follow instructions from Window 1 as I work in Window 2, but for most of my computer usage a simple copy--- switch window---and paste will do the trick to move things around.
So I keep my windows maximized so I don't feel claustrophobic (squeezed) inside a tiny window.
>>>Star Raiders wasn't that good of a game and Elite was far more fun
Yeah but Elite didn't exist in 1979, and so that's what most of us played. I personally thought Star Raiders was awesome. I probably spent more time playing that game than any other from the 70s and pre-85. .
>>>If I had to name a genre defining side scroller I'd start with Choplifter!
Barnstorming. Chopper Command. Both worthy of mention. And of course Defender. .
>>>Donkey Kong was a video game - they were avoiding video games.
Uh? Whatever that means. A computer game is a video game. A video game console is a computer minus keyboard. No. Real. Difference. But anyway Donkey Kong was ported to many many computers, so it qualifies for the list.
Good to know (although I never play any of my games except as a solo).
That's somewhat similar to how Pitfall 2 is better on the Atari 800 because it had a "second adventure" built in. This was because the Atari programmer ported it directly from the original game, whereas the C64 programmer rewrote the whole thing from scratch. The Atari programmer found porting only took half as long, and therefore he had spare time to create the 2nd level.
>>>one of those factions did eventually become the modern Democratic party
Nope.
Jefferson founded the Republicans, which later started referring to themselves as Democrats-Republicans (because Jefferson believed in the power of the Demos aka People). By the 1810s it was shorted to just Democrats.
In the 1830s a splinter group left the party completely (to form the Whigs), but the Democrats remained Democrats and continued forward to the present day. Now obviously today's Democrats are the polar opposite of the Democrats that existed while Jefferson was alive, nevertheless it's still the same party that was founded in 1792.
The reason I always point it out is because I want today's Democrats to stop and listen to the words of their Founder. Otherwise they might not.
>>>I suppose you are indirectly talking about welfare.
No I support welfare as it gets people off the streets, so I don't trip over them. Although I do think such a program should be at the State level.
When I wrote my message I was actually thinking of programs like Cash for Clunkers which are ridiculous. It is an infringement of my rights (theft of my labor) to make me pay for some guy to get a new automobile. Let him pay for it with his OWN money, not mine. (And so on with other programs for the well-off.....)
I remember when Walmart carried almost-nothing but American. But as soon as he died, that policy ended so now Walmart is just like any other store with no soul.
I noticed the same think happened to JCPenney after Mr. Penney died. He considered his salespeople to be professionals, and paid them commissions, but after he disappeared is slowly-but-surely turned into a soulless entity. Now nobody gets commissions, and the staff is mostly just high school and college kids. The management has devolved from degreed businessmen to merely high school grads.
Corporations have no morals. That's why I think directly-owned proprietorships are a better way of organization, because at least then the company is a reflection of the human being who owns it. He has direct responsibility and the company's reputation is HIS reputation.
In contrast corporate managers don't give a crap. They just count dollars.
>>>pulling out of the country sends a much stronger message.
Not really. In a few months the Chinese people will forget Google even existed, and the "message" might as well have never existed. But by staying, and having that message popup every time a link is censored, it would be a constant reminder to the People for the next 10-20 years that they live in a nonfree country.
>>>When uninsured people show up needing emergency medical care and can't afford to pay it, it drives prices up for everyone who has insurance and can pay.
That's one way of looking at it. Another way is that it reduces the salary of the Medical Corporation's CEO and other managers. I admit I don't cry upon hearing this news. Let the Corporations shoulder the burden of the poor for a change, by giving-away free ER care.
>>>The government should regulate anything that one person's actions directly affect another person's rights. >>>
+1 insightful.
In fact the founder of the Democratic Party, Thomas Jefferson, said more-or-less the same thing: "No man has a right to harm another, and that's all the government should restrain him." By giving yourself a government-provided car, or home, or whatever, you HARM my rights. You've stolen my labor (money) as surely as a manor lord stole the labor of his serfs.
>>>it provokes a reaction from the government, and thereby shows to what lengths they will go to suppress it
I'm planning to create a website documenting U.S. government (and possibly EU government) abuses. Everytime someone says, "But government is good," it's a pain to have to scramble to gather all the info & educate them.
This way I can simply point to www.governmentabuse.com and be done with it.
>>>What's the point of having more than one window open if everything's always maximized?
On the Windows OS you can have windows maximized and simply swap between them using the taskbar. On the Mac OS the dropdown Finder window marked with an Apple serves a similar function. On AmigaOS it's done with Amiga-M and N key combo. - So yeah I keep my windows maximized too. It makes it easier to rapidly and easily flip between programs.
LTS
Quesiton: This means "long term support" right? As a desktop user do I really care that 10.0 has three years support versus the later 10.1's standard length? As long as I keep upgrading I don't see why the "LTS" designation matters? (Unless I've got an old 128 megabyte machine which refuses to run later versions.)
>>>they are pissing all over 30 years of convention that says the close button
In my experience that's how Linux works. Instead of "calc" my KDE install calls it "kalc" which may seem trivial but if your Programs menu is organized by letter, and you're looking under "c" it can be bothersome.
Anyway -
I looked up C=64 GEOS and Amiga Workbench, my earliest experiences with GUIs, and you're right. Even back then, the close button was the leftmost or rightmost button in the window. For Ubuntu Linux to suddenly move it seems odd, and will likely lead to alot of angry users who accidently click "close" and lose their work, when they really meant to click maximize or minimize.
I would stay in the Chinese market too. But I'd use it as an opportunity to educate: "This page blocked by your government. Go here to sign a petition to have the block removed: [link]"
Comply with the law, but bend the rules as much as possible so that maybe, in 10-20 years, the censorship will be lifted from google.com searches.
The People are the product of the Government schools, and the schools have been teaching them that government is good and government knows best. Naturally most of them will side with with the government.
Even a 6 year old will notice the long line at the grocery store, or empty shelves due to rationing, or neighbors disappearing into prisons because they said the wrong thing. That was the situation that existed inside the Soviet Socialist Republics.
Elite actually evolved into Elite on the NES (same game but expanded missions), then Elite II, Elite Frontier, and a few other 90s-era sequels. I've also noticed that the PS1 had an Elite style game (in 4 parts), with identical view and controls, but the goal was to follow a pre-plotted script. It was not open-ended like the original.
- Haunted House by Atari should be mentioned as the first survival-horror game. - Starship and Star Raiders were the 1st first-person-viewpoint shooters. - Also: --- Zork or Dungeon --- Last Ninja --- Donkey Kong --- Turrican (like Metroid before metroid existed) --- M.U.L.E. for the C64 (with cool music besides)
Naturally. Mmusic and movies and TV shows are the US' only viable industry left. We have to protect it, else we'd collapse even further into AA status.
>>>Sure, you could make the argument that it not being able to work on low memory systems as being a "bug", but what are the damages there? Maybe the retail cost of Vista? >>>
Yeah basically. The damage is that I (or rather my brother) bought a brand-new PC expecting to get Vista, but it failed to work properly because Microsoft basically lied when they said it would run on only 512 MB.
So then he had to go-out and spend ~$150 to get the +0.1 bugfix revision called Win7. He was duped out of his money. (IMHO). The situation is similar to this Oracle/Sun situation.
And even though people did sue Microsoft for Vista's underspecced requirements, they didn't get anywhere, so it's doubtful anyone would get anywhere suing Sun.

Even if you replaced all the HFCS with sugar, it wouldn't make any difference. Sugar also converts to Fructose, and then fat inside your body.
Actually the "idea" sweetener would be just plain Corn Syrup. It's 100% glucose and is absorbed directly into your blood stream. No fat.

Um..... these new web domain licensing requirements (business ID, photo, et cetera)..... aren't they also being implemented in the US and EU?
