    I have no idea what your problem is! None of our surviving customers has ever complained about our product!

  2. Re:So what do you drink now, instead? on Coca-Cola To Fund Research That Shifts Blame For Obesity Away From Bad Diets · · Score: 1

    My "secret" is watered down juice, but WAY watered down, so it's like water with a shot of juice added for flavor. Keep it as watery as possible.

    Does this fat make me look fat?

    No honey, you look... hot. (I will turn the AC down a few more degrees.)

    How do I get a poop transplant to deal with obesity and type II? Presumably this will clear my stress hormones too.

    Since it's a pretty new thing, I imagine you'd either have to join a trial, or find a back-alley donor.

    You probably don't want to know that freeze-drying poop and putting it into capsules and then taking it orally has been shown to also work...

    Um, wouldn't that be a "back-door" donor? This is Slashdot, and we must be precise..

    i switched from 5 or 6 cokes a day, to 5 or 6 beers per day.. my weight hasn't changed at all -- but i feel MUCH better. Go figure, right?

    You're doing it wrong! Whiskey has far fewer calories than beer or sugary soft drinks. Just watch it with all those unhealthy mixers.

    (Disclaimer: I totally made this up, and despite my moniker, I am only a doctor on the internets.)

    And Dennis MacAlistair Ritchie, to who pretty much everyone in the tech field owes something. Including Steve Jobs, too. They passed away with just a few days of difference. There wasn't worldwide candle lighting events for Ritchie.

    Yes, but the true geeks know who the real rock star was.

    Generally, I go with trepanation. Pretty much a cure-all. 94% of surviving patients agree!

    Nevermind that the Navy's own Laser Weapon System's performance has actually been rather lacklustre.

    No, they are exceptionally competent and successful... at spending large sums of money.

  16. Oh, and the answer(s) may not even be right and has to be checked using classical methods anyway.

    One of the primary characteristics of NP problems is that solutions are hard to find but easy to verify. It will take longer than the lifetime of the universe to find the best solution to a thousand city travelling salesman problem. But it takes less than a millisecond to verify that it is better than the previous best known path.

    Solution: Keep N=1 and nobody gets hurt! Done! ARE YOU LISTENING TO THIS NOBEL COMMITTEE??? You can just send me the big check now please.

    "Caravans"? Um, we don't call them that here in the US. The "Breaking Bad" vehicle would be called an RV (recreational vehicle), and a trailer would be called a trailer. Anyway, cheers mate!

    They usually like to blame music or video games. Can we blame cable television this time?

    In fairness, this is pretty much all Obama's fault.

    I haven't been on campus in... 25 years or so. I seem to recall the special projects building having something to do with money production, as in paper money.

    But really kids, safety first! I am ashamed at the apparent lack of proper lab procedure. We must demand only the best meth labs in the nation at NIST! I'm writing a letter to my congressman.

    I'm torn between wishing it was my (former) group and wishing it wasn't. I think the stories will be much better if robots were involved. In any case, I advise BLAMING THE DEER. Always blame the deer. Or the geese.

    Well yes, there's that uncomfortable fact, but we accept a certain percentage of failure in medical procedures without question. It's understood that once you start cutting/fusing/etc, well, you can't uncut.

    Anyway, I can type all day on this, but the gist is: for any condition there is a continuum of care and intervention. In any of the medical/therapeutic professions there are good and bad practitioners, and lots in between. "Your mileage may vary."
