If the paper's unpublished, why even consider acknowledging the source at all? No-one will ever know you wrote it earlier.
I mean, really, writing something privately and using it later is just like thinking something and using it later. The only difference is that in one, you committed the thoughts to hard copy.
If it *is* published, then a citation at least pre-empts a naive search.
Don't knock it! A well rounded medley of salad vegetables with a sprinkling of herbs and spices (chilli flakes and caraway seeds, for instance) can be very morish!
Yeah, cold meats and quorn are pretty unmeatlike generally but that's fine, I'm a veggie! They do taste nice though, even if they don't taste like anything.
Yeah, but that's still just over a third of a Mars bar; if you eat one instead of a creamy desert, *that's* when the benefit kicks in.
The 19p ($0.34) yoghurts I buy are pretty damn nice for the price and calories. You seem to assume that you can gorge yourself on "healthy" food.
I'm not advocating Mars bars over yogurts; I like yogurts and I know they *are* healthy *in moderation*.
I used to think I could gorge myself on healthy foods like yogurts, but since I can no longer get into several pairs of trousers I have realised my delusion! But having done the sums I know I *can* gorge myself on healthy food like salad.
If you eat small quantities of high-calorie food then of course you will be hungry and then pig out.
Instead, eat large quantities of low-calorie food.
The answer, of course, is vegetables! You can eat two whole lettuces at one sitting and consume only 40 calories! The same goes for cucumber, celery, peppers, spring onions, carrots, tomatos (not too many) and so on.
So make huge salads each day and munch on that. You will not go hungry, and you will be able to eat something fattening like a (little) cheese and bread supper and still be in calorie defecit.
Try Quorn cold-meat imitations. They are tasty and fairly low calory too. The "faux-turkey" slices are particlarly good, at around 50 calories a 4-slice portion.
Things to watch:
A glass of fruit juice can be around 100 calories. I used to drink a whole carton a day thinking it had only a few calories - until I read the label.
Yogurt - healthy food? Again, around a 100 calories for a LOW FAT yogurt. I used to eat four a day thinking I was helping myself lose weight. Read the label!
Seriously, don't. Find a local laundry or dry cleaners and find out how much they charge.
I pay 5.50 UKP for the washing and ironing of 5 shirts. When I iron shirts myself - and I used to iron them all the time - it took me 15 minutes per shirt (OK I'm a perfectionist). That's 1 hour 15 minutes of my life per week, just to start off. Add the time spent loading the washing machine and hanging out to dry, the cost of the washing process and the cost of the electricity to power your iron and it's a no-brainer.
And when I outsourced ironing I realised I did not need to iron any of my clothes. Properly folded and hung or stowed, there is no requirement to iron casual clothes.
I invested in two decent, identical, M&S, non-iron suits (yes I have to wear a suit to work, no I am not a suit) and so far (two years) they have lived up to this claim. Hung properly they dry from the wash with a crease and no wrinkles.
So I got rid of my iron and ironing board and freed up more space that I can live in rather than sweat in.
No-one with a job requiring them to wear a shirt should be paid so little they can't easily afford to get someone else to iron it.
I've not been around here as long as you but it's been a good few years and I used to think all the "Slashdot isn't what it used to be, the moderation system is going to hell, we're overrun with trolls" was a load of whinging.
In the time I've been here, the moderation has gone to hell, Along with the story submission policies.
And the comments - Beowulf cluster, in Soviet Russia, insensitive clod... the joke wears really thin after the millionth telling, yet is consistently moderated up.
Maybe I'm getting old. But even if I am, Slashdot is getting worse - independent of my age.
If you add 64MB of memory to this system, and those 64MB are slower, what could happen is, that no pages are swapped out.
This is the bit I was unsure about; I thought that pages which had not been used for a while would be swapped out even if memory was plentiful. I remembered I have a copy of "Understanding the Linux Kernel" and it confirms that pages are only swapped out in low-memory circumstances.
I'll give it some more reading! Thanks for your input!
I have heard about cases, where a machine became slower by upgrading it from 64MB of RAM to 128MB of RAM, because the cache could only be used for the lower 64MB of RAM.
I have heard this too, but I don't really understand it.
If the system with 64Mb needed more memory, then it was using swap.
Swap is obviously slower than memory, even without cache.
So although increasing the memory above the cacheable threshold would not reap the benefits of cache above that threshold, it would reap the benefits of not using swap.
You would see performance degrade if the operating system has a preference for memory above the cacheable threshold, but why would this be so?
File cache could grow to use the extra memory and force applications into the uncacheable area, but then you would reap the benefits of more file cache, i.e. less disk access.
I encourage all people who wear cell phones on their belts to position them as close to their crotch as possible. Three benefits:
* Set your phone to vibrate and smile with every incoming call. * Rapid access to the phone; if you're scratching your nads and the phone goes off you're only a matter of inches from hitting the "accept" key. * There will in future be fewer people who wear cell phones on their belts.

Bad patter replying to my own post but I have to explain myself - I'm three days into my diet and I am in "evangelical" mode.
Worship the Lettuce! The Lettuce is Great!

Surely if the guy was competent, no-one would have noticed. That he was caught indicates someone was looking - presumably for a reason.
Although how an incompetent got to be chair is strange. Unless he was very comfortable.

A lof of who you are is what you can do.
Or better, what you actually do.

I grasp it fine. I grasp that supply generally follows demand. So if there is a demand today, it will be met tomorrow.
You posted that there is no supply today, therefore there is no demand today. You are the imbecile.
No they can't take the criticism.

I would guess that if the codes were something other than staggeringly trivial, they wouldn't have spread so far and wide.
I can imagine people laughing, "Guess what? The code to the bombs is all zeros!" You'd want to share that nugget!
A worthless code does not inspire respect.
Mod up. This is actually funnier than it's parent. Over and out.
Informative? Living proof that the moderators are now in the late stages of terminal crack cocaine addiction.
Funny, yes. I laughed.
Have a look at this one instead, slashdot rejected me for some unfathomable rason.
Boy plots own murder on Internet chatroom

That's right, when there's no room for logical manoeuver, resort to abuse. I've seen your other posts. They're all like this.

Either way, it seems an odd claim.
Your claim is that present conditions dictate past actions. In other words, that today is the day before yesterday.
My point is you're wrong.
Of course. Markets never change. Demand is always static, supply is never short. Trend lines are always all horizontal.
New products never catch on. Old products never die out. Advances in science and technology never bear real fruit.
People are all the same.
The past is identical to the future.
It's not happpened so it never well.
Go and take someone elses throw-away comment seriously.
Not in the UK. In the UK a grill is a heat source above the food, which sits on a grill pan, generally supported by a wire rack.
The source can be gas or an electric element.
That would be what we Brits call 'grill' then.
New, improved bosses and clients.

Thanks for your co-operation.
The only solution I can see to this problem is the summary execution of the bosses and clients.
