Her doctor put her on an "experimental diet" and she lost about 30# and all indicators of diabetes disappeared!!
You have raised an important point:
See your Doctor BEFORE you start on Atkins or any diet
I was on Atkins for over a year and dropped 75 pounds. The first 30 came off pretty fast and the rest more slowly. But I also ran into other problems and my initial bloodwork showed that is wasn't directly related to the diet. The only problem I had with the diet was kidney stones so make sure you drink enough water.
I can feel a difference as little as 5 pounds and damn it, I wanted it gone!
I hate skinny people. If I need to lose 5 pounds quick, I'll take a dump.
...but why is it that every Linux Desktop Environment invariably looks like Windows 98?
Simple, so you don't have to retrain every secretary in the office on how to find a word processor. A better question might be "Why does every Windows OS look like Apple's from 1985?" Have we really reached the apex of GUI design?
The Dave Matthews Band did this with the CD Busted Stuff a couple months ago. They even included a DVD with more material. All this for only $9.99 on the release date and $11.99 the rest of the week (Best Buy, Chicago).
At that point, if I were an Agent, I wouldn't want to be looking out for some lard-arse specialist, I'd like to know the guy doing the specialist work could cover my back in a firefight.
I know quite a few 'lard asses' (myself included) who could do a great job dropping the mouse and grabbing the gun. Heck, us fat guys better know how to shoot, we sure as hell can't run!
Besides, where do you think you are going to tap the LAN from? The dealer's closet? Just snake a cable downstairs or, better yet, let the gung-ho guys arrest the clown and take his computers back to HQ where you can crack them while eating your doughnuts and playing some MP3s...
I'm getting tired of the dozens of posts that obviously haven't read the article. People who do that simply show that they're missing the point of Slashdot alltogether.

What's next? Wartraining? "Look, we got on these wireless LANs while riding the El in Chicago!
Wartraining? What a great idea! If anyone does this, I'd love to know where I can check e-mail along the METRA Northwest Line. I imagine the metal train cars might make the connection difficult.
(a) A person commits an offense if the person knowingly accesses a computer, computer network, or computer system without the effective consent of the owner.
He may not have violated this law. Is there a machanism in place that identifies that this is a private network and that no access is allowed? I don't know about Texas, but here in Illinois the courts ruled the the phrase 'Please Enter Password' was an open invitation to enter the system if there is no admonition appearing previously that the system is for use by authorized parties only.
For example, if you leave a computer in a public area unsecured and unmonitored, any person can walk by and use it without it being a crime. For it to be a crime, there must be some measure of control exerted.
Try this, mark a $20 bill and leave it on a bench in a mall. Watch to see who picks it up and try and get the cops to arrest this person. Heck, even try to get your $20 back! It's a fun way to waste time at Woodfield until the cops get pissed and kick you out. Let me know if you have better results without lying.
Uh, you could either disable them, or, you could have patched when the patch came out, or even two weeks after the patch came out. You just can't sit around and do nothing...
Ok, I accept your point about having to keep things patched. But have you ever had to regression test a patch on 50 servers each running at least two applications across 100 departments in a large corporate environment? Sure it's simple if you have one server using IIS for only web pages.
Still, it was mostly home users on poorly configured NT boxes that helped the problem grow. I'll even admit that my home NT server that serves up the family webpage was hit, but I had it cleaned out in a matter of hours. I wasn't using Index Server and didn't know it was running by default. I think that was the main issue.
Hmmm... a 50th percentile adult U.S. male is about 175 pounds, and a 220-pound male is 95th percentile, so while 180 lbs could reasonably be called "typical", 230 is not even close.
You must work at a doctor's office or insurance company. Yes, average US male height is 5'10" and their IDEAL weight would be between 175-180 depending on the age of your chart. But with about 40% of Americans considered obese, your average weight rises to around 200. Note that the poster said "TYPICAL" weight and not "AVERAGE IDEAL" weight.
Don't get your undies in a bunch. This will most likely be overturned. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is the most overturned court in the nation. The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on this years ago and came to the exact opposite conclusion. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Ohio's state Motto (With God, All Things Are Possible) does not violate the US Constitution. There is a ton of case law already established.
By the way, In God We Trust was made official in the 1950's, but the motto was used on some money prior to 1860.
Under Bush's National Missile defense system, he never ruled out using a space based system, including some sort of laser platforms. So then we have weapons of mass destruction in outer space.
Hmmm. You must have some knowledge about space platforms that the rest of us lack. I seem to recall since Reagan's time, every President has backed some kind of national missile defense. The lasers on space platforms are designed to knock down airborne missiles, not blast people on the ground. Basically, it's like saying that you won't raise a hand to defend yourself. Check it out. Blocking a punch is a lot different than throwing one.
The outer space treaty is basis for the outer space policy of the United Nations, and therefore of the 189 member states of the United Nations. But obviosly we know better than all of them.
We may not know better, but we (or any marginally free country) is at least as good as a body of unelected representatives who want the world to work for them.
I think many folks aren't looking at the big picture. Being divided as we are on our own planet is one thing, but if we run into another intelligent species out there, we aren't going to be Americans or Germans or Japanese---we're going to be Earthlings.
Unless we can:
Find a way to control and exploit them for our own gain or
Convince them to join us in exploiting others
Of course, this is just an American way of thinking...
So are you advocating Anarchy or a UN government? What about Microsoft going to Mars and claiming it as property of the corporation (or AOLTIMEWARNER or AT&T, pick your favorite bad guy)? Or what if the Mormons claim it? Or the Sceintologists make it New Xenu?
There is going to need to be some kind of structure and law if you expect anything of value to be built. You don't seem to be offering any solution.

Ok, how about I create a website which allows people to submit houses that are worth breaking into and also lets other people search for those houses in their area.
Your statement is biased and has no relation to file sharing, but I think you know that. How about this as a better example:
How about you create a website that lists all the libraries in different areas. Then, index a list of materials that are available at each location and toss in the location of the nearest photocopiers (often found in libraries) and Kinko locations.
Would this be illegal? Should it be? Would you sue Kinkos, libraries and the Library of Congress (who provide a great indexing system free for anyone to use)?
This is similar to the police targetting drug dealers instead of users.
This has got to be one of the dumbest statements I've seen today. Drug users in prison outnumber dealers over 10-1 in the United States. And remember that many states have laws that say carrying two joints makes you a dealer under the law.

I know the one you are talking about in Niles. What is the mayor's problem? That sign has caused more accidents than the 'dangerous' tower.

On the plus side, someone might be able to use this to knock out the machines that are still flooding the net with CodeRed.
Besides, anyone smart has NETBIOS blocked at the firewall already, right?
