Skinniest part of the trunk. (64 cm) Circumference measured at the navel. (71 cm) Pants size. (varies by cut) And, they're all different. But under the Japanese rule, my waist would be 71 cm. My choice of which trousers to wear to the doctors office would be irrelevant.
You're confusing two different measurement systems.
BMI != body fat percentage
BMI= (m)/(h^2), where m is mass in kilograms, h is height in metres.
The WHO guidelines state that 18.50 - 24.99 is normal weight.
Body fat percentage is fat mass/ total mass
For men:
2--4% Essential 6--13% Athletic 14%-17% Fit 18--25% Acceptable Over 25% Obese
You're essentially claiming the "athletic exemption" to BMI, but your body fat percentage is not athletic, it's just normal. You could probably stand to lose a few pounds.
"0%" is not dead. In fact, spurious negative results are commonly reported with several methods, because of a failure of the underlying assumptions about the density of adipose tissue.
Metabolic syndrome was deïned among men and women as waist circumferences in excess of 85 cm and 90 cm [6], respectively, in addition to having 2 or more of the following components : 1) Dyslipidemia : triglycerides >= 150 mg/dl and/or HDL cholesterol ï¼oe 40 mg/dl ; 2) High blood pressure : blood pressure >=130/85mmHg ; 3) Impaired fasting glucose : fasting plasma glucose >= 110 mg/dl [6].
Waist circumference is a relatively accessible measurement-- grab a tape, measure at the navel. But you'll have to go into the doctor, and skip meals to get a Dyslipidmia and Impaired Fasting Glucose reading. Those two tests aren't something that can be administered on a daily basis in order to test whether a new pattern of diet and exercise are doing the trick either.
Myst's programmers designed a 3D world themselves and pre-rendered it using the ray tracers they could find. They then loaded those shots onto a CD-ROM or two.
If real-time 3D renderers were even available back then, they were downright crude in comparison. In fact, I seem to remember Myst looking cleaner and more spectacular than the screenshots from "Limbo of the Lost".
I used to use my laptop as a dvd player. Somehow the act of plugging everything in, turning off the screensaver, rooting around for the proper cables, making sure that the remote control's software was actually working etc really took the spontaneity out of watching a movie.

NARRATOR: Scattered fragments of twisted metal are all that remains of Thresher, the greatest submarine of her day. This footage was shot in the 1980s by Bob Ballard, as part of a classified Navy effort to survey the debris. His cover story was his search for the Titanic.
Sometimes HDTV sounds like a conspiracy to sell large screen TVs-- and that won't mesh well with a recession.
My TV is a mere 27". The proper viewing distance for a 1080p set of that size is approximately 3.5 ft, which is kind of cramped. It's 768p, which is more than enough.
Like I said, diminishing returns. A 25 gigabyte file looks slightly better than a 12 gigabyte file, which looks slightly better than a 4 gigabyte file. The better your display, and the more controlled your viewing environment, the greater the chance that you'll actually notice those differences.
For instance, my HDTV has poor black levels, It's also small enough that I'm just able to appreciate the difference between a 480i DVD of "Lost" and a 720p broadcast of Lost. (my DVD player is quite good).
I'm not going to be able to tell the difference between a 1080p encode and a 720p encode. I'm also not going to tell the difference between encodes if the only difference is to clear up some video noise in dark scenes.
On the other hand, if I ever start an HD media collection, I'm going to want pristine, error free discs that will look good on any HD displays that I might buy 2--3 years down the road.
The 5th Element has already been released twice on Bluray. Once in MPEG-2, once in H.264. Owners of the first bluray release could trade in their discs.
Ok. Thanks. I was a bit unclear on the concept of "cloud computing". So, essentially, these companies trust Google, amazon, etc, not to mine their trade secrets?
So, if someone who tired of your brashness decided to put put a contract on your life, you would not stoop so low as to seek assistance from the police?
Testing is important. For years, my parents thought I was allergic to shellfish, merely because a certain crab dinner produced anaphylaxis. This was an unfortunate assumption, as it kept me from enjoying crustaceans.
However, after the dinner, I had been shelling Brazil Nuts. I had stabbed a finger with the nut pick, and it was from this site that the swelling emanated.
Some time later, I encountered brazil nuts again, and the same severe allergic reaction occurred. Had the diagnosis been correct in the first place, I could have continued to enjoy lobster, shrimp and crab, while avoiding brazil nuts. (It some ways, a shellfish allergy is less maddening-- it tends to be advertised, while brazil "nuts" receive less mention on packaging. It's a good reason to develop cooking and baking skills.)
A battery of tests could rule out Wi-Fi as the cause of the chest pains and other symptoms, while identifying the real source of the symptoms, if it's not psychosomatic.

I suspect it's cheaper to make it yourself.
Oh, add yeast if you don't want to care for a sourdough culture.

I have three different "waists".

I surmise the new law drew on studies such as this one:

Yeah the 30 gig movie file is all padding, and compressing it down to 4 gigs does not degrade the picture or audio quality.
Increasing the bitrate beyond a certain point brings diminishing returns.
1080p only matters if you have a screen that can display it, and the screen is large enough that you can actually see the difference.
Of course, if your compression algorithm is overly aggressive, resolution is the least of your concerns,
I can barely stand to watch SDTV now.
Does that extend to DVDs?

Ok. Thanks. I was a bit unclear on the concept of "cloud computing". So, essentially, these companies trust Google, amazon, etc, not to mine their trade secrets?
Or is strong encryption some how not in keeping with the cloud computing metaphor?
Ah, context is everything.
I imagine the correlation is random.
That's why we have statistics.
So, if someone who tired of your brashness decided to put put a contract on your life, you would not stoop so low as to seek assistance from the police?
I was assuming that /. readers
a) were well-versed in statistics
b) could read a headline
or
c) could click on a link.
Why attribute to malice what could be attributed just as easily to laziness?
