The only thing that increases muscle mass is your body repairing damaged muscle tissue. That's why you lift weights. If you've ever done bar-dips, you probably know the tingling feeling of micro-muscle tears. Supplements, steroids, it's all for the same purpose: to enable you to better wear out your muscles.
Dear god it hurts. How is it that someone so woefully missinformed manages to post all this bollocks and come away thinking he's done us a favour?
Listen Civil_Disobedient (261825), do yourself a favour, put down the muscle mags, stop listening to the idiots at the gym and go read some excercise science textbooks/research papers if you want to learn anything.
Give them a second chance if the game actually becomes good. why would you care if a game used to be crap if it's great now? Sometimes it's even good to be there in the buggy beginning. I remember I started playing ultima online a week after release and it was the buggiest game ever, with exploits mistakes and rough edges all over the place. As it turns out, these led to hillarity and fun beyond anything the game has become after it was 'fixed'. It was absolute chaos, and that made it an incredibly good game to play.
Oh, but don't give it a second chance if the game sucks. *cough* Asherons call 2 *cough*
For those who missread, they attested under punishment of perjury that they represented said game publishers, not that the information in the entire letter was correct.
If you're unfamiliar with the zeno paradox here's the traditional solution.
It seems pretty clear to me that the zeno paradox is not a paradox at all but just our inability to intuitively solve maths with infinite terms. It reminds me of those visual illusion drawings that cause our brains to make sense of things in a missleading way. Check it out.
At the same time, this does not disprove his paper since the article, is not well writen enough
to be useful in determining the validity of this work.
IMHO, the best thing about gentoo is the ease with which you can write an ebuild. This leads to a lot of software being supported and current. It's awesome. Have a small software package that's not in portage? spend 5 minutes on the ebuild and everyone can have it.
A new version of some software was freshly released? sometimes all it takes is renaming the ebuild. I hope they don't complicate this anymore than it already is; it's their greatest asset.
The question is: is this ease of packaging because the packages are mostly sources and not binaries?
Humidity is only opressive to us because we cool ourselves by evaporation which happens slower when it's humid. It shouldnt affect laptops at all since they cool their cpu by radiation conduction and convection.
I've often wondered about that. What do you do if you have a psychotic kid?
You can't discipline or restrain it because you'll get sent to jail for abuse and when they steal/vandalize/assault you'll be held responsible? that's absolute bullshit. Parents should not under normal circumstances be held responsible for what their kids do.
Ooohh, you don't wanna give me money and buy me alcohol and let me bang sluts in the 'ouse? I'll just take this baseball bat to 20-30 cars and you'll be paying off the damages for the rest of your life mom & pop"
I agree with your whole post exept for the last part.
This article doesn't pat anyone on the back. It doesn't even say anything at all. It's a terribly written piece of crap with no point and no logic. Immagine... assuming that any of us give a shit about how we all have to "save the hardware industry".
People keep saying that debian evolves far too slowly. These people, obviously, have not tried unstable.
Actually I used debian for about 6 months. I installed stable, immediately upgraded to testing and stuck with it for a few weeks. Testing was *awesome*. Nothing ever broke. Then i went to unstable. Unstable was also pretty good, only small problems every so often, nothing major.
But, kde 3 came out. And I really wanted it. I waited and waited and it never got added to debian. I tried the unnoficial packages but they were crap and kept breaking all the time, as well as being slow on updates like kde 3.0.1 - 3.1.
So after months of being stuck in kde2 or a lousy kde3 i left debian for gentoo and never looked back.

G5 Benchmark Roundup
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
Apple hired an independant benchmarking firm
No, they didn't. Independent would mean that they weren't getting paid by anyone who has anything to gain by the results one way or another. As it turns out, apple hired them and they're not independent at all. M$ hires 'independent' think tanks to issue reports and lobby the government all the time.
'research', 'findings', 'discoveries', 'developments', 'creations', 'art' or even just get people to use 'intellectual achievements'. But i think it's wrong to lump all those in the same category. Someone who performs a song has done something tremendously different from a research group who finds out how to make buckyball tubes.
Every post I have read so far is by someone who's obviously on crack.
I didn't know there were so many mac enthusiasts so completely mislead.
I too was salivating at the G5 stuff. I too was mislead by all the apple stuff on launch day. But geez. get a clue.
1: the on-stage demonstrations are meaningless
I've seen perpetual motion machines convincingly demonstrated on stage, surprise surprise they didn't work. I've seen david copperfield on stage to and it really looked like he was flying
2: It should be very clear by now that while apple didn't lie about their machine's spec scores, they totally fucked the other machines they used as comparisons.
I guess they figured it was easier to make other spec scores lower and not get caught then to inflate theirs. Oh well, that's apple for you. The one that really got to me was the quake3 score. Their 300 something fps is probably true, but the intel machine they say gets low 300's, actually gets high 400's.
What I don't get is why apple has to make statements like "worlds fastest PC" and "worlds first 64bit PC". I mean shit, it's actually neither. Why not just publish their benchmarks and let them stand on their own merit. After all, their machine is fast enough to please most people. Why do they have to 'conduct' their own intel benchmarks and compare?
If you're buying an apple, you're not doing it for price/performance or even just performance, you're doing it because you like OS10 and you like mac hardware.
Hey is someone actually *paying* for all this bandwidth?
Wouldn't it be nice if kernel.org ran a bittorrent for the latest kernels just so they save some bandwidth?
It's a joke. When i looked at the shacknews.com story earlier there was an in game screenshot of the knife.
The dude who was hosting it obviously noticed the slashdotting and replaced it with a smaller picture of his boyfriend in his most seductive pose while cooking dinner last night.
To quote the FAQ: Q Can gamers on the PC version of Halo play with Xbox gamers over XB Connect or some other method?
A No, each version of Halo will only work with its own kind.
Oh BOY. What the fruck are they thinking? There's ABSOLUTELY no reason why the PC and xbox version couldn't play nice together. The xbox is only a PC itself.
Halo is a SHIT game as FPS's go. The only and *very important* reason I have for playing it is that all my non-geek xbox-owning friends play it a lot.
They just lost a TON of halo sales in my opinion.
Maybe it's because the mouse & keyboard combined with experienced quakers from the PC would PWNT the fruck out of all the lame xbox0rz.
Is there any other possible reason for this astoundingly DUMB decision from Bungie?
Konqueror has an option to force a custom stylesheet that also makes webpages white text on black background. try it for a while together with a dark kde theme.
