I only wish academia fulfilled the role you mention, but these days it's nothing more than a corporate drone generation machine as you've mentioned.
I guess at this point I'm still coming to terms with the world's realities, and taking more and more utilitarian/cynical views on many social aspects of existence.
If you're so mentally destitute that you need remedial math classes going into college, you're likely not majoring in the subject anyway, or in any need of what would be considered "hard" math classes anyway.
How many people outside of fields like engineering and other math-specialty careers even need to be able to do much beyond the basic four functions anyway? Sure, it'd be nice to have a general populace well-versed in all subjects, but at this point in time I think that's little more than wishful thinking.
Yes, but how many corporate heads could even bother to familiarize themselves with the lingo of their target audience? I remain impressed, though you'll get moderated much more favorably than I will around these parts.
At 16, you should be focusing more on increasing physical activity levels than dieting to lose weight, but if you had 50lbs to lose in the first place, you're doing the right thing in dropping a good bit of it.
I'd suggest stopping the low carb diet once you hit somewhere below 15% bodyfat. A good indication is when what might be a spare tire turns into more of a small set of saddlebags, and you've got decent definition in your arms.
You've got at least two, probably 3 or 4, years of growth left in you, and it would be a pity to stunt your growth due to any deficiencies in nutrients you suffered losing weight you could lose later anyway.
No offense obviously, but it's quite a leap to say you were in the best health you've ever been in, and it's primarily because all nervous system cells use carbs as their only source of energy.
In a heavily carb deficient diet, the body is forced to cleave fat and send it through some extremely inefficient metabolic pathways to convert it to carbs just to keep your brain, peripheral nerves, and all of those in between running smoothly. In addition, your liver's and muscles' carb/glycogen reserves are near-constantly depleted, which contributes to a general lack of energy I'm sure you noticed, as the body always prefers to use glucose when available and other pathways aren't as effecient.
There's nothing wrong with ketosis diets for losing weight, certainly, but it's nothing I would recommend to anyone as a lifelong effort. The body functions at its peak when it gets solid doses of all three of the macronutrients.
Now this was an interesting post, and if the linked article had said something similar it would have been significantly more worthwhile.
I will admit my initial impression was incorrect, but I blame that more on the article being a technological fluff article, which unfortunately seem to be getting more and more common lately.
But current is only half the equation. To generate electricity, a cell has to churn out voltage as well.
And so far, that's where Ready's invention has fallen short. There's still too much resistance within the cell to produce the type of electricity that's needed. But he said he'll now focus on reworking the interface to smooth out the kinks.
This is non-news. Multi-layered cells have been talked about forever, and haven't they all previously run into similar issues?
Whoah whoah whoa what the FUCK? I was just playing a UrT game in which some random players I didn't recognize knew both myself and my brother, and now this?
There were some big stories in the past year or so stating something to the effect of scientists finding extremely well preserved bones that even still had soft cartilage in them, which I'm assuming is related to this.
SDBot is incredibly popular because it's open source and easily modified to sneak past most AV software with minor changes. It also has an extremely wide array of features, and tends to be very reliable.
People without the knowledge to code their own trojan/bot from scratch will naturally gravitate towards tools which allow them to make their money more easily, and it's a real time saver.
It's one thing for American lobbies to push for government regulation of the internet, given our government can be bought, and we do still control the internet to a significant degree. Just what the hell do these guys think they can accomplish?
Any laws passed in deference to these idiots will have all the power of a UN resolution.

Cleverly executed straw man!

Hey man, you're not allowed to criticize things around here, or use sarcasm.
Sarcasm is trolling. Just ask slashdot's moderators!
That's a funny way to spell dolemite.
ahahahahahahahaha ohhhh I love you, Robot Chicken

What kind of corporate head uses flame with its internet definition? Fucking awesome.
Any fights against Bush's efforts for centralization of authority have to be good, right?
I myself dabbled in pacifism once. Course not in 'Nam.

Hopefully not anytime soon, as I love stories of this type.
Seriously, what was the turnaround time from a claimed patch to another breach? Was it even 3 days ago those clownshoes were crowing about it?
Owned.
to give that man 10 more years.
:-(
The world is truly poorer for his loss.
The same place that sold him a brain with "good memory density."
If I were posting seriously, I would have.
You get a lot of blank stares in casual conversation, don't you?

Or so I hear.
So suddenly the retarded aren't protected by the bill of rights?
This is preposterous!
Slashdot: It's news every time some random feature is included in a game?
My statement stands, mostly due to the fact that Canada's government isn't irrational enough to think that a good idea and actually pass that law.
Well, one would hope.
"Go fuck yourself."
