And if you could tell me what minerals and vitamins are in chocolate fudge brownies (my wife's latest craving at 7 and a half months) I'd love to know.
Chocolate is rich in a certain class of flavonoids as well as other anti-oxidants. It's rich in the alkaloid theobromine has been linked to fewer birth defects in rats.
Our food cravings have evolved over millions of years and are so common, they probably provide some sort of survival advantage.
Well, there The World Ends with You for DS which I thought was the most amazingly innovative and fun game square has come out with in years. The leveling up system never really punishes you for anything that I've found.
And the story is weird and very good. Let me know what you think....but there's always been stuff in every game you won't find except with word of mouth. A coworker's son was playing Super Mario Brothers 3 and I showed him the trick where you hold A+B+Down on a white block to go behind the scene and get a magic flute. Or when I was in elementary school at lunch and someone was trying to explain to me where the warp vine was in SMB1. 3 invisible blocks? Really?
Disclaimer: I really liked FFXII and played through without a strategy guide. I thought it was fun and challenging at times, but not punishing. I suppose I don't know what I missed;)
Actually this is what I think he means: But as it turned out, the [Duplo Blocks]...were compatible with the [lego blocks]...and the [whole thing]...held itself in place without any glue whatsoever."
I didn't think they were compatible until my younger brother started playing with duplo blocks and started playing around with them. Granted, this is when I was around 10, but without my sibling's interest I wouldn't have figured it out.
From your wiki link: [T]he Congregation for Doctrine of Faith ceased publication of the Index in 1966 following the end of the Second Vatican Council, largely for practical considerations
So unless this guy went to school before '66...there was no banned books list. Further on evolution anyway, the late Pope John Paul II was a supporter of the theory and believed it compatible with Catholic doctrine.
Catholicism is the IBM of religions...bad when it's dominant, but when in an a minority, it has no problems adapting pragmatic stances and using common sense to survive. And they'll both survive me;)
I grew up there (and now live in Houston -- from a job I got on Slashdot no less).
Rehobeth is a beautiful area -- Delaware's #1 industry is tourism believe-it-or-not -- and it's just plain smart of them not to have them visible. Since the state is geologically a sand bar, the beaches are extremely nice and it's not a huge tourist hotspot like Florida or Jersey. They've got a decent sized park nearby (Cape Henlopen) where you can walk from forest to beach and take a dip if you want without all those pesky tourists.
Just reminds me of driving home from my last job and having a reasonably priced pint at Arena's.
The second anyone does this, Snickers re-markets itself as a fitness bar. My dad's a marathoner, and they're very popular to eat before/after running because of the mix of carbs/fat/protein -- especially before actual fitness bars.
Cigarettes == smokable stuff that contain nicotine. Very Easy definition, impossible to market around.
You choose to have an unhealthy lifestyle, and thus there are incentives to encourage you to change.
Last I checked, I have very little control over my genetic code (still trying to invent that time machine so I can kill my father before I was born...)
That said, I'm rather unhappy that as a moderate consumer of alcohol, my insurance could group me with binge drinkers and charge me more money, even though there's evidence that moderate drinkers are healthier than non-drinkers. Who gets to decide what's science and what's not?
Seems like the smart thing to do is to just stay with AT&T
AT&T still has relatively poor coverage in some parts of the country. My 'rents switched to Verizon since they don't get signal at their house from AT&T.
For what it's worth, X-Wing Alliance was the last game in the series and has actually aged pretty well. Since it's actually entirely 3D, people have created new models for it that are much more complex than the originals and fit in well with the missions provided. Plus, they actually got Mark Hamil to do some of the voice-overs;)

Oh wise one please tell me how to update Pidgin without needing to recompile GTK+ to a current version only to have it want a new version libPNG. And after doing that, I have to put it in a new place so other programs which want an older version don't try to use it as a runtime library (unless I want to update Gnome too!)
God, you're right. It's so easy! I'm obviously just not trying.
Or else I need to download distro du jour, in this case Fedora or CentOS/RHEL! And then, as I know from experience, software Y won't have a package for my version of the distro!
On windows, I downloaded the package and hit next 5-6 times -- only through my windows expert training was I able to figure it out!./configure && make && sudo make install + dependency hell is so much easier! Thank you!
Donating $50 to a charity that helps the poor, that is more likely to succeed at getting them out of their situations...[than] the government spend[ing]...$50
This sounds rather empirical...but do you have any actual evidence this is the case?
I recall we had situations like this in the industrial revolution it didn't work too well -- remember Scrooge from A Christmas Carol? Most wealthy people kept their money causing the Gilded age.
But hey, if you've got any actual facts to back up your opinion, I'd love to hear them.
Linux "fails" to take to the Desktop because it fails to be Windows. It fails to be Windows because it is not -- it's Unix. And that means it has a completely different underlying philosophy of how things should be done that goes back over 30 years.
Linux fails because it's not anywhere approaching "easy to use" as a desktop. I find it much easier to install Pidgin (formerly GAim) on Windows and Mac compared to Linux. And MacOS is Unix. I've never owned a Mac...and my livelihood consists entirely of developing software exclusively for Linux. And GAim was developed as a Linux application.
I'm not trying to bash Linux, but really, the first step in getting better is admitting you have a problem;)
Eating breakfast is essentially a bunch of "free" calories. Since doing so ups your metabolism for the whole day. Or at least that's what I think the evidence suggests.
No matter how you slice it though, there's a huge positive correlation with eating breakfast and losing and maintaining a healthy weight.
I assume you're not honestly serious. Or that you've never used any of the programs in question and didn't bother to RTFA.
Outlook -- You didn't read the part about "fast searching" and "threaded conversations" did you?
Flash -- TFA makes the same comment as you.
Use Linux -- some of us like to play games besides Nethack, Tux Racer, and Quake 3...and might even use Word from time to time. That and the learning curve. Oh. And we need to build our own computers and/or reinstall the OS so we don't have pre installed software bundles. All so I can use firefox to surf the web, cause honestly, that's the only EXCELLENT desktop application Linux has. Otherwise, it's like using Sam's club brand everything. Like Tide? Then you'll love Tibe! Like Photoshop? Limp with the Gimp!
Organized religion absolutely requires strict autocratic control over the devout masses. Fixed that for you.
When someone can prove to me why one god is any more real than any other god, I'll believe. Not all religions have God(s) -- at least important ones. Can you tell me who exactly the Jain God is? (Hint: They're atheists)
This is why all religions have tried to censor knowledge, burn books, kill heretics, and instigate wars against non-believers. While there's some obvious ones for which this is true, could you please point me to a Buddhist book burning? Or a Jainist Jihad? If you wanted to cite a Christian offshoot, please let me know how many heretics the Unitarians have killed over their history.
I hate how people learn about the Crusades and medieval European history and generalize it to all of human history. These are the same people who forget it took a Reverend to bring equal rights to peoples of all races in the US or a Hindu reformist to bring human rights and independence to the world's 2nd largest country.

So word 97 is word -3.07?
Mmmm...negative versions!
And so vengeance is the dispassionate meting of a individually-prescribed or sub-culturally-prescribed punishment.
And then revenge is merely the above, but done passionately?
Why shouldn't the only object of justice be the minimizing of crime?
