Well, if you do it right, your villagers should be able to take care of their own micro-management. If you do everything for them, they get lazy. If you let them suffer a little bit, they'll go "hey, we're hungry. Let's go find some food." If you bring food to them all the time, they won't even bother trying to go out and farm/hunt.
1) Not all carbs are created equal. Refined flour, sugars, when combined with lots of calories and fats, lead one to a big fat ass. It's not as much so with complex carbs.
2) The Atkins diet was designed for fat-loss. If you're an elite athlete, presumably you don't need to lose fat. Elite athletes train for hours daily, and you need carbs to sustain this amount of activity. Thus, the Atkins diet would not work well for serious athletes.
3) True, elk meat does not have a lot of fat, most of it is comprised of protein. Protein is a Good Thing for fat-loss and for building muscle tissue.
4) Eating foods that contain mostly fat and protein make you less hungry that foods containing the same amount of calories but consist of carbs. So it is easy to eat less while on a protein/fat-heavy diet.

Shouldn't that be "Port it to *nix:)"? Anything that can be ported to Linux should be able to be ported to Solaris, *BSD, etc. with minimal additional effort.
There are other Unix's out there besides Linux, you know..
Parent post is referring to an incident where MIT students made a fake police car (but real looking, lights and all) and placed it on top of an administration building at MIT on April Fools day.
Apparently, those "hacks" are, or used to be, commonplace at MIT.
and you're not paying for only that stuff either... most bands do not sell many records. In order for the record company to make any money off those bands, the costs of the cd's must be high enough to cover all those losses, plus pay off all the artists, recording studios, distributors, sellers, etc.
It's similar to the movie industry, where most movies lose money, but a few make a great deal. So in the movie publisher's accounting, they spread the cost of making all the movies over everything. In other words, a successful movie pays for the expenses of the failed movies, which means that successful movies don't make all that much (according to the movie studios), which does unfortunately screw the successful's movie's writer, if he/she is getting a cut of the "profit."
Linux part: It's a freaking joke... whenever any hardware's mentioned on this site, "Does it run Linux" pops up eventually.
And the link isn't an article... it's a link to the product's page.
Next time, think, please.
small businesses make up the bulk of the US economy
Not to nitpick, but it's corporations that make up the bulk of the US economy. True, there are more small businesses than corporations in the United States, but corporations have a much higher impact on the economy than small businesses, due to their (combined) huge revenues which drawf those of the (combined) small businesses.
I know!! I'll send a link to my auction to Slashdot (along with the standard nostalgic reminiscing bit about how much I remember Transformers from the old days).
Hey, doesn't anyone remember a Wired article a couple months ago about this guy? It talked about that robotic wheelchair thing, and then went into great detail about his work on a personal hovercraft. It supposed to look like and operate like a UFO.
1,000 bucks says that's what it is. And the information in the article seems to support this theory, like having the zoning laws changed, it being kind of humorous, etc.

Those examples have to do with trademarks. This has to do with patents. Big difference.
Couple of things.

First, the response rate from Sourceforge was 34.2%, which is not representative of most of sourceforge.
A 1/3 sample of any population is a very good estimate of that population, statistically speaking.

Word might run fine on 32 megs of RAM, but I bet that it's taking of swap space like crazy.

Poor kids....

Then again, 90% of all teenage guys play video games and view porn, so that statement doesn't really mean anything.

Is it just me, or does $150,000 sound really cheap for something that only five are produced each year?
Dammit, my case isn't clear. I feel so oldfashioned now. I'll probably get last place at the Computer Fashion Awards Show. My life is over.
Yes, but a lot of these viruses send copies of itself to people on your contact list.. and presumably, people on your contact list know who you are.
What one might consider to be bloated are the applications that come with Linux. Emacs, LaTex, Netscape, etc.

That way, I'll be sure to get some bids!
Now that's just plain silly. Honestly.

Or at least that's what I read in Kurzweil's The Age of Spiritual Machines.
That would be a thing called "Quantum Paradox." Virtually everything dealing with quantum theory has some type of a paradox in it.
Didn't the article say that some researchers had created a Quantum Computer in 1998?
