I tried the Activa yogurt and it didn't do anything to my digestive tract that regular yogurt doesn't already help with (I get the IBS pretty often).
I think the 'bifidus digestivus' and 'bifidus regularus' bacteria are a bunch of marketing bullshit. As noted by previous posters, they basically took some Bulgarian bacteria, renamed and trademarked it, and marketed it.
I do believe in the benefits of probiotics, although I think they are pretty low unless your body is under specific conditions that might kill all or most of the flora in your intestine. Like if you took antibiotics. Intestinal bacteria are very important, and you gotta replace it somehow if it dies off. In fact, some doctors are seriously suggesting that shit is an organ, just like your lungs and heart and whatnot. They think it is necessary for human life and if your intestinal flora is damaged, in some cases they are seriously suggesting poop transplants. Seriously, some doctors are cramming other peopless shit into their patient's colons.
So I did some poking around and i found that the Stonyfield Organic Yogurt is the best. It has 1-3 grams of fiber (depending on the flavor) in the form of inulin, which helps your body ingest the calcium. It also has 6 live cultures, which is the most of any yogurt I've seen. Combine that with the fact that it is organic, so won't be filled with hormones and (ironically) antibiotics, and a great taste (particularly the chocolate) and its a damn healthy snack.
If nothing else, I applaud the lack of blitzball

The game is awesome, but seriously the best part is the lack of blitzball. That shit was HORRIBLE in FFX. Did anyone figure that shit out?
Its so bad that some friends of mine and I decided to stop referring to stuff as gay, and start calling it blitzball.
Like you know, Rick Santorum is soooo blitzball.

i think 30boxes is great. i really like the 'clickyness' of that application. its easy to share events and calendars. and most importantly, it uses a nice natural-language creation system.
i think the user-interface design of 30boxes was a little better than google's but you know what? they are really in the same league. the new google calendar does pretty much everything that 30boxes does. plus it integrates well with gmail. i like them both but i think i am going to stick with google's product because i like one-stop shopping, if you will.
now if only i could reliably sync my outlook calendar, my macs, and my palm pilot, then i would be cooking with gas.
nah, went there from 1997 to 1999. worked boone online back then doing tech support and whatnot. had to have food delivered (i believe on the company dime, but memory may be failing me), so usually ordered viva mexico from the delivery service, but can't remember its name. the drivers were always really cool, i knew them well from working at the subway across from the convocation center (which didnt even exist back then!)
beautiful town, but i'm glad to be out of there. the soul-crushing winters were too much, even with the beautiful winters.
Wrong! The best pinball game ever is Whirlwind. It had a fucking cool fan that blew on you, and these awesome magnetic things that blew your pinball around. ingenious!
i had a bunch of issues with buy.com returns as well. i ended up asking my credit card company to charge them back. that was the only way i got my 200 bucks back. i advise you to try the same, and then never buy anything from them again.
I was too lazy to read the whole article, but it illustrates my point perfectly. Notice that DeBeers isn't interested in these, but other companies are.

we have microcenter though.

Not exactly what you are looking for but there are a bunch of current events stories that are commented on.
Damn. When I saw there was a USA deal, I was hoping they would release their back-catalog of awesome B-movies.
Didn't anyone else love that show?
just install the google toolbar.
i installed that thing and a few seconds after i went to a website i created seconds before, google spidered it.
yeah i live like 5 blocks from there.
food is inconsistent but man is it good.
if you bore with marios, you can always do ben's chili bowl on u-street if you happen to be in dc. kicks much ass

its just too bad its SO expensive. 4.99 delivery fee + tip kills the deal.
however, having a mario's cheesesteak delivered is pretty frickin sweet.
do you live in boone?
OH CRAP.
i stand corrected.
need i say more?
The URL seems to be Slashdotted. Har har.
Seriously, they should give the money back to the cardholders.
I have one of these accounts. I ran up $3k on it. God knows how much money in interest I've paid on that.
I said I would buy shit if MBNA gave money to Linux Fund.
Gimme my money back if you aren't following my contract!
i see the problem here. noone is reading livejournal postings except google's spider.
if they blocked google, they could probably reduce their bandwidth enough to run all of those sites on a cable modem!

It stands for "Master of Ceremonies." See the wikipedia entry.
do you mean PSDoom?
Did anyone else think that sounded like something out of one of the Lemony Snicket books?
woo hoo ballston!
Ahhh, so thats why Microsoft forgot to renew the Hotmail domain! They were trying to reduce spam for their users. How nice!
If you're playing solitaire with other people, you should seriously consider getting some psychiatric help.
Maybe soon they will work out a deal with APC.
So UPS will fix my UPS.
