I agree. Right now I'm training an army of American hackers that are going to roll over China. Check out this video of my protege at work. That madd h4xx iz a freebie for you, the more advanced stuff (like photoshopping a cat's head onto a dog's body) will cost ya. USA #1 baby.

A young Linus Torvalds was given a VIC-20 as his first computer.
Its high accessibility to the general public meant that quite a few software developers-to-be cut their teeth on the VIC-20, being introduced to BASIC programming, and in some cases going further to learn assembly or machine language.
My first program was on a Commodore VIC-20 in 1981, I was 8 years old at the time.
10 PRINT "HELLO "; 20 GOTO 10
What happened when I ran it just blew my mind and brought me 28 years later where I am now. Instead of wanting to be a fireman or a policeman like every other boys, I wanted to work with computers for a living. Great memories.
I think, a simple interactive language like that is still the best way for a child to learn how to program.
This is really depressing.:( But at least it's still scientists doing the science and not the 66% of the population that does not even understand where we come from (evolution).
You're right. Controlled experiments shows that it's not HFCS specifically, but an excess of insulin in your bloodstream that causes obesity. Too much of any carbohydrates too often during the day will maintain your insulin way too high to permit lypolisis.
That's why we get fatter. That's why moderate-carb is healthier.
Do you all truly believe that an all loving God will not accept a person like Hawkins? Just because he did not believe while he was here??? Hell is staying away from the light of God after you died. I think Mr Hawkins will not fear to go toward the light.
You've got to read this interview with Dr Robert H Lustig MD who is Professor of Pediatric Endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco. Trust me, it's very insightful and informative!
Exactly, in fact exercise is the best treatment. The question is why does exercise work in obesity? Because it burns calories? That's ridiculous. Twenty minutes of jogging is one chocolate chip cookie, I mean you can't do it. One Big Mac requires three hours of vigorous exercise to work that off, that's not the reason that exercise is important, exercise is important for three reasons exclusive of the fact that it burns calories.
The first is it increases skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity, in other words it makes your muscle more insulin sensitive, therefore your pancreas can make less, therefore your levels can drop, therefore there's less insulin in your blood to shunt sugar to fat. That's probably the main reason that exercise is important and I'm totally for it.
"Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones."
Very insightful comment! I see it that way too:)
Then again there will be people who will tell you: If you do not take advantage of everyone else around you to make your life better, then you are an idiot, because it won't matter after you died.
I was saying this literally. We never know what sort of experiment future science will be able to do. So it is not impossible that at a point in time, we might be able to literally disprove the existence of God.

PS: Great book by the way.

If this brings us to: "The rise of the OSS". Then I'm all for it ! ;-)

LOL... Yep still in the loop. I try to keep myself in the loop, it helps in this field ;-)

A simple google image search for "Carla Bruni" will answer your question. :)

Probably as soon as North Korea launches a nuke against someone the same thing will happen.
The frightening thing is, I'm not so sure it will.
This is indeed frightening and probably true.
The first cars to reach the market will have two rear hub motors and a motor controller, that's it.
You mean there is no batteries ? ;-)
Of course ! It went bankrupt in the dot com crash. ;)

The company I worked for in 1998 bought interpass.com for 5000$ from a Brazilian squatter. A bit pricey, but the transaction went smoothly.

This is not going to help them, but here is how you can query right now.

I was actually able to try a couple queries. But now it's too slow, unusable!

That's because it's worth taking our time when we do 69. ;-)

It's how much energy you consume vs how much you use which decide if you get fatter, stay the same or thinner.
Not the quality of the food.
In fact it's completely the opposite. You need an update on the state of nutritional science in 2009.
You could start by reading Gary Taubes. Or this article here.

Hey I was born and still live in Quebec.
We are NOT all separatists ! It's only 30% of the Quebec population that's gone crazy about protecting the language.
So please don't throw the baby with the bath water ;-)

Can those of us with "Karma: Excellent" get a "Karma Whore" achievement?
Good idea !
Right now I'm just proud of this achievement.

They probably did this to save a bit of download bandwidth then. They have no other reasons for doing this.
> ... will be available in English, German, Japanese, French, and Spanish...
Different install media for different languages ?...
They never said it was a different download per language. You chose the language at install time.
