I have a body-builder friend who has studied hard up on biochemistry. Anyway, he put me on a protein diet that works brilliantly. I lost 18kgs (40lbs or so) over about 12 months without being very strict. I work too much to exercise too, so I could have done an even better job.
The basics of this low-carb diet is that carbs are used for energy (running, etc) so if you eat carbs and don't use the energy then you store it as fat.
Cut out carbs and eat more fat because what you eat most of is used for your energy.
Without carbs your body will go into ketosis but you shouldn't stay in ketosis for too long. Lay off carbs for say 7-10 days then pig out on pizza and anything you want for 2 days. Then do it all over again. Some similar protein diets won't tell you to pig out once a week and that can get dangerous to yout body coz ketosis shuts down your organs.
I'm a bit of a workaholic (wake up, sit at computer for about 14-16hrs, do it again next day) and cutting out carbs makes you think much clearer and you don't feel tired after eating coz there are no carbs. You just want to sleep all day when you're on carb-days tho.
This sounds a little familiar. I invented an algorythm that allowed compressing data over and over and over. This was back in the old Amiga days. It it took like 2 days to compress an already compressed 512K file 2 or 3 times to 100K though. I haven't got around to doing it on a PC of todays speed. It was pretty amazing really but when it takes such a long time I never bothered to find out the limits it would go to.
I'm interested to see if it's anything that I have already done. Does anyone have any details on the patents?
One thing confuses me... What type of hardware? Are we talking design of chips or a project with existing, readily-obtainable hardware? When i read about open hardware I imagine ranges of circuit diagrams that people can improve upon. Like an audio amplifier, for example, where improvements can reduce distortion, etc. Is this what it's really about? I don't think I could imagine PC circuit boards being designed with surface-mounted components. I mean, 99.9999% of people couldn't build them anyway. A wide range of hardware, not limited to just computers, might be even more successful.
OK so what do you do with disposable phones? you throw them out after they are used. Think along the lines of if 30 million people used these phones in a year, and replaced the phone 10 times each during the year, how many phones will that be?
...the khtml rendered page looks better
The first thing that caught my eye is mozilla renders off the page - cutting off the last few characters to the right. Second thing that caught my eye is the text 'KDE wins Linux Community Award!' using mozilla turns into what looks like 'KDE win$inux Community Award!'
Does mozilla have something built in to slag off micro$oft after any word that begins with win?
heh
Seriously though, that would annoy the hell outa me. I'm sticking to Opera.
Well, even though the DVD Delux sounded a bit dodgy, it still had me interested... even if the games are old. Did anyone buy one? It had pretty much everything you ever want...
"The third panel shows near-infrared reflected sunlight at a wavelength where the gas methane,an important constituent of Jupiter's atmosphere, absorbs strongly."
I remember an article that talked of the US wanting to blow up the moon... imagine igniting all that methane! How long would it burn for?
heh
I hate VR because in normal life you don't turn your head around to see something. I am not a touch typist, so I watch my fingers doing the typing to make sure I don't make any mistakes. Keeping my head in the same position, I look up at the monitor to double-check my typing. You can't view things like that with VR
What I would like to see (maybe there is already) is VR that tracks your eye movement or something also.

Even a certain/. poster (or six - taco? hemos? I fogret which but probably both) should go back to 3rd grade:P
Actually, it had 256K RAM and 256K WOM (write once memory - which Kickstart wrote to and became protected afterwards). And um.. the applications on Amiga were all very tiny, requiring very little overhead. Of course, there isn't a terrible lot you can do in 256K but you could quite easily run say 100 different programs (like clocks, text editors, small animations, and more) if you wanted to. The system might slow a bit after 30-40 of them but what do you expect from 7.14MHz
Even taking it further... the A500/2000 with 512K or 1MB or 2Mb... theres a hell of a lot you can do in that on an Amiga. Nothing compares to the responsiveness and abilities the little beast could do back then even compared to now (with those that have more memory and processing power)
How would Linux perform in 2Mb RAM? What could you run on it? QNX is probably the only thing that is comparable in this way
Don't forget, how many operating systems multitask beautifully in 256k RAM that the A1000 had? It's rather sad they screwed up. Amiga could have quite easily dominated the industry:(
I must admit though, the Amiga SDK does sound like it will be as 'revolutionary' as the hardware was in 85... but let's just wait and see hey
A little bit of an easier way to make a capacitor explode is to simply reverse polarity (obviously electrolytic) and double the voltage. Did this many times in electronics class scaring the living hell out of substitute teachers:)
When I am in Vindoz I use ZoneAlarm as a firewall which asks me if I want an application to access the Internet when an attempt is made. I have never had any Office component attempt this but I like knowing if and when Word or anything else tries...
This is a Good Thing (r)(tm)(c). Any company to focus on support for Linux instead of Windows has a huge market to virtually monopolize until other manufacturers see the same potential. Getting in early can make Panasonic a 'defacto standard' for Linux systems in this category for potentially quite a substantial period of time. Panasonic could market this solely for Linux because Windows drivers are obviously available, but as more companies do this, Linux can break some new ground towards domination.
Would the same apply to stupid patents (like one-click shopping, etc)? I know patents are not exactly copyright, but it is obviously anti-competitive...

What about running djbdns in supervised mode?

This sounds similar to what Amiga is doing.
This link might make you think of either how crapy your monitor is and/or how much color correction is necessary.

I wonder if the hard drive would perform better in zero gravity.... stupid thought maybe...

I'd laugh if the exhaust was N2O
Does ipchains detect 32bit IPs?
ie. 2130706433 = 127.0.0.1
Should we setup rules to include 32bit, 24+8bit, 8+24bit and 16+16bit IPs?

Not enough hours in the day, so maybe this will compensate
