My main problem with paleo-type diets is that they are so effective, I can't gain muscle mass while on it! I just don't feel as hungry. I'm really healthy though.
And remember, protein is what builds muscle. Muscle is good no matter what your goals are. More muscle burns more fat if you're trying to lose weight and more muscle tones your body if you're just trying to look better.
Well said. Of course, you can't build muscle by just eating protein. So start lifting those 22" trinitron monster monitors!
Correct about very low carbs and bodybuilding, it does indeed melt the fat off, though it's hard to keep it up for more than a few weeks.
You must eat fat if you want your body to remember how to burn it, your body burns what you eat, if you eat low fat and high carbs your body burns carbs, if you eat high fat low carb your body burns fat, and if you eat high protien and low everything, your body burns protien.
That is a gross oversimplification. Your body will burn whatever you feed it, and if it doesn't have enough it will switch to burning fat for low-level energy expenditure and will use your own muscle tissue up if you don't have dietary sources of protein. That's why you have to be careful when restricting calories!
When is a calorie not a calorie? When it's protein. 1 g of protein has the same calories as 1 g of carbohydrate. However, it takes your body more energy to digest the protein, so the net result is that 1 g of protein provides you, in the end, with less calories than 1 gram of carbs. That is also something to consider if you're on a high-protein bodybuilding type diet.
You've nailed it right on the head. Might want to add that our bodies were not made for pasturized milk, either.
When you think about it, in the distant past we spent most of our day doing nothing but looking for food (hence exercise) and then ate what we could, cooking some of it over open fire or coals, or perhaps slow-cooked using hot rocks or smoked.
A significant difference today is that our entire evironment is contaminated with substances such as mercury, pesticides, and thousands of others. So we can't just eat an earlier stone-age diet. We actually need to eat *more* vegetables just to help give us the cancer-preventing nutrients and anutrients that we need. Using a vegetable juicing machine is one way to accomplish it.
I hear there's this great new wireless technology that actually sends out free music through the air. There appears to be a way of supporting it through advertising revenue, but who cares, it's live broadband music streaming.
No more tinny-sounding RealPlayer broadcasts, this is high-quality stuff we're talking about. Free content for all! And the best thing is, the end-user hardware requirements are very inexpensive. I hear it's called 'radio' or something. Apparently people are working on actually sending video images in the same way. Imagine the possibilities!
From the article: Most modern programming languages do not consider white space characters (spaces, tabs and newlines) syntax, ignoring them, as if they weren't there.
A search through slashdot itself shows two other discussions (1, 2) that talk about Python's use of whitespace for syntax.
But seriously, the site does have a compiler for simple whitespace terms. You can't do a heck of a lot, but it works. Or does it?
A really good example of Python in action is Plone.
Plone is Python scripts and other bits running on top of Zope, a web application server written in Python.
Of course there's also examples of Python being used on the desktop, but as a web application, Plone (and of course Zope) are worth a good hard look. To some extent, Zope can be considered the 'killer app' for the Python language.
There is a handheld shaky video taken as she walks down the aisle, but it's hard to see what she looks like. And in the other video (goonandkissthebride.mpg) we see the back of her head!
So, tell me again where I can see a portrait of the bride?
So we get a bunch of shots of Malda striking poses for the camera before the ceremony, but no pictures of the bride at all.

Isn't the bride supposed to be the focal point at a wedding? Shouldn't she at least get equal billing?
SMPng: The next generation support for SMP
machines (work in progress). There is now partial
support for multiple processors to be running in the kernel at the same time.
KSE: Kernel Scheduled Entities allow a single
process to have multiple kernel-level threads, similar to Scheduler Activations.
New architectures: Support for the sparc64 and ia64 architectures, in addition to the i386, pc98, and alpha.
GCC: The compiler toolchain is now based on GCC
3.X, rather than
GCC 2.95.X.
MAC: Support for extensible, loadable Mandatory
Access Control policies.
GEOM: A flexible framework for transformations of disk I/O requests. An experimental disk encryption facility has been developed based on GEOM.
FFS: The FFS filesystem now supports background
fsck (8) operations (for faster crash recovery) and filesystem snapshots.
UFS2: A new UFS2 on-disk format has been added,
which supports extended per-file attributes and larger file sizes.
I'm currently running a home DSL-based server at 3.2 Mbit service in Toronto from Istop.com at C$90/month. This is fine, but in order to be reliable enough, I needed to buy a honking big UPS, a decent gateway device, and more. Hosting at home makes for other problems, such as my gf accidentally turning off the server. Or when the power was out for over half an hour (the UPS got tapped out).
So for the same price, I decided this week to switch to a virtual co-located server at JohnCompanies which is kick-ass fast, and has NO troubles with connectivity. That server is in a controlled environment. I really doubt that any home/small office DSL solution would be economically feasible for the RELIABILITY that you require, if you just need to have one server for web, dns, database and email.
Really, you're only going to be pumping out at T1 rates? That's slow. A P200 computer could handle that. Put all of your stuff on ONE decent 1.x GHz machine and save yourself the money on rackspace. If you really need a lot of processor power for the database, get a dual CPU system.
I will second that. I bought their linux server at $75/month for my employer. I liked it so much I bought another one for my personal/consulting sites!
JohnCompanies, a 3-man operation, advertises almost exclusively by word of mouth. For example, there is an excellent discussion here on Kuro5hin.org, which basically sold me on the service.
I've installed my own DNS, I've installed Python, Zope, and more. Apache was a snap to get up and running, as was BIND and other programs. The basic linux service is RedHat 6.2 with a ton of preinstalled packages, with the important ones (ssl, apache, and more) patched to address recent security concerns. I've already got 5 domains running, with both Zope and Apache, and I'm about to move over my personal sites to the second account.
Support is good, usually I get a response within a few hours. Occasionally for some requests, such as adding more zones for them to slave, it's taken a few days, with an apology. But they've always come through, and they know the answers.
In the November 16 edition of The Economist, page 16, they hit the nail on the head, with a lot of humor, too:
Too Farsighted The dangers of too much vision
EARLIER this year, Tom DeLay, a Republican congressman from Texas, accused NASA, America's space agency, of having a "lack of vision". He is not the first person to make this criticism and he certainly won't be the last. But what such critics actually mean is not that the agency has no vision--but that they happen to disagree with the one it has. In the case of Mr DeLay, his expressed dismay at the "anaemic" financing available for human space-flight was more a call of "Houston, we have a funding problem."
Such accusations of a lack of vision should not sting NASA, because they could not be more wrong. For one thing the agency already spends the lion's share of its $15 billion annual budget on human space-flight. For another, if there is one thing that sums up what NASA has suffered from over the past three decades, it is too much vision, not too little. And the symptoms of this are most visible in the bloated, late, over-budget and largely useless human space-flight projects that it has been pursuing since the Apollo programme.
Vision express
After men landed on the moon, NASA needed to find something else to do, so it decided to try to put men on Mars. But Richard Nixon turned down this grand vision. And so, according to Roger Pielke, director of the Centre for Science and Technology Policy Research at the University of Colorado, Boulder, the agency simply broke the mission into three more easily sellable parts: the shuttle, the space station, and then Mars (see article). It was then left in the impossible position of having to justify each step on its own merits alone. This led both to the overselling of the shuttle and to the thin veneer of "science" that has been arranged around the space station.
It is true that science can be done in the space station. But science can also be done dressed in a clown suit atop a large Ferris wheel. The argument ought to be over where is the best place for it. Performing experiments in microgravity does not require a $100 billion platform. Moreover, much of the work that can genuinely be done only on the station is justified through another magnificently circular leap of logic. Research into the effects of microgravity on human health and the growth of soya beans, for instance, is useful only in the context of a manned mission to Mars.
The only good reason for NASA to be involved in human space-flight is to lay the ground for opening space up for everybody. It takes a vast leap of imagination to detect this reason in NASA's present strategy. Fleeting visits to the moon (or, one day, to Mars) would turn the agency into little more than an elite travel agent. But for decades there has been a huge pent-up demand for flights into space. Although the private sector is finally making some progress towards this, NASA should have been there years ago. What is still needed is research and development on economical and safe space transport for the public at large. Space, like the Wild West, can be truly opened up only by the private sector. NASA's central goal in human space flight should be to make that possible.
Until NASA swaps its destination-driven thinking for a science-based approach focused on such objectives, the post-1960 generation that has grown up hoping to travel or even live in space will continue to feel betrayed. Several years ago, an organisation called the Space Frontier Foundation observed bitterly: "Thirty-six years after sending John Glenn into orbit, NASA has finally achieved the capability to send John Glenn into orbit." NASA must find a more practical reason for the human space-flight programme. Sending people to eat all those soya beans cannot be it.
One of the best things about SC2 was the thumpin' music. My friend had the Gravis Ultrasound card and the music totally ROCKED! In the PC version, the music was done in Amiga MOD format, a four-track music system based on sound samples. It was amazing what could be done with just four tracks. MODs were featured heavily in the demo scene for a while.
Apparently the theory behind Empire was that it could be displayed as a piece in a gallery..
And Leif Inge says this about the immediate future of 9beetstretch: (source: Sonoloco record reviews)
"I actually will use the sound in an installation in a bedrom in a gallery in Oslo in September (2002), making the symphony into bedchambermusic. People can lay down and listen (and maybe drift)"
Perhaps this music would accompany Empire very well.
The instruments in it sound great when timestretched!
I'll bet that a large choir would also timestretch very well. But timestretching a single voice might result in some problems.
Oh, and here are the lyrics that you were thinking of:
O Freunde, nicht diese Töne! Sondern lasßt uns angenehmere anstimmen Und freudenvollere!
Freude schöner Götterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium, Wir betreten feuertrunken, Himmliche dein Heiligtum! Deine Zauber binden wieder, Was die Mode streng geteilt; Alle Menschen werden Brüder, Wo dein sanfter Flugel weilt
Wem der große Wurf gelungen, Eines Freundes Freund zu sein, Wer ein holdes Weib errungen, Mische seinen Jubel ein! Ja, wer auch nur eine Seele Sein nennt auf dem Erdenrund! Und wer's nie gekonnt, der stehle Weinend sich aus diesem Bund
Freude trinken alle Wesen An den Brüsten der Natur; Alle Guten, alle Bösen Folgen ihrer Rosenspur. Küsse gab sie uns und Reben, Einen Freund, geprüft im Tod; Wollust ward dem Wurm gegeben, Und der Cherub steht vor Gott!
Froh, wie seine Sonnen fliegen Durch des Himmels prächt'gen Plan, Laufet, Brüder, eure Bahn, Freudig, wie ein Held zum Siegen
Seid umschlungen, Millionen Diesen Kuß der ganzen Welt! Brüder! Über'm Sternenzelt Muß ein lieber Vater wohnen. Ihr stürzt nieder, Millionen? Ahnest du den Schöpfer, Welt? Such' ihn über'm Sternenzelt! Über Sternen muß er wohnen
It's really amazing! I'm listening to section 4.1 right now. It sounds like a complete orchestra making very long, slowly changing notes, such as background music for a movie.

The entire dowethics.com website is a parody. The submitter of the slashdot story itself says that he got taken in by it. Obviously you did, too.
You must be a scientist type, then. An engineer would say 25.7M (Example, for ten megapascals an engineer writes 10 MPa, not 1.0E7 Pa)
