Im all for Genetic Engineering in theory. The problem lies when you have to define whether a gene is valid/useful/good. If there are certain genes linked to such things as Austism and Dyslexia, then maybe we'd be killing off a chunk of potential "great thinkers" in the future...
Boolean Algebra didnt have any "practical" use at the time it was invented, if I remember correctly. Now its at the very basis of many, many applications in our world.
Building on this, the only way to get rid of fat, is to increase your natural metabolic rate which means increasing your exercise. That is, cardiovascular *and* resistance (weight) training. If you're really big/fatty then you'd probably want to do a lot of Cardio work to start with (maybe 30 mins, three times a week).
Fitness can be determined by a lot of factors, but it really is a vague word and can have differing meanings. For example, a fit person may have high stamina, or may be able to lift a lot of weight, or may just have a low body fat percentage.
My suggestion is go and find a gym that can give you a fitness test. You will be able to find out your body fat percentage and your trainer will be able to give you a exercise plan to shed those pounds! Good luck!
Sometimes when im angry, I like to have a good online game Quake III. It takes the anger out of me, because I can take my anger out on these "virtual people", if you will. I think computer games can have a theraputic effect as well as the mythical violent effect.
I've got a good idea for anti-overclocking as it were (not that I hope important people will read this email). @ Intel gets a new chip and overclocks it to as far as it'll go safely. @ Intel then relabels this as the new overclocked speed. @ People who try to overclock the already-overclocked-chip will fail.
Dont think you can get more simple than that. Thank you and good night.
As opposed to a government that decides to ditch UN- (that is, practically/intendedly world-) backing in the search for what they think is right? The country that thinks that their opinion is always right is the most scariest government there is.
I personally dont think this is the best way to go about things. Open Source should be another choice, and "forcing people to consider" it sounds a bit stupid. People should have the option to consider. However, it shouldnt be mandatory to do so.
I'm sure the more 'vocal' conservationalists have one opinion. What about mining asteroids?"
On what basis would that argument be? The cute lil' moon goblins would die because they havent got any space rock left? Aesthetic reasons? C'mon, the moon is just a fat ugly thing in the sky. And it would be wrong to claim it for your own. First come, first serve is fair. China should have the rights to mining if they want it.
Well, safety matches are (were?) the same material used in certain high-order explosives, namely Ammonium Nitrate. Some other things like those freeze packs you chuck in with food to keep it cold at the beach are full of it. Are these going to become illegal? And if not, wouldnt these be a big threat - just as much as solid rocket fuel?! While you're there, you may as well ban knives to stop murders. Hell, get rid of all those doors so people cant actually *go* anywhere. That'd stop the terrorism
1. Person gets crypto box. 2. Person figures out the type of encryption and more importantly the private(?) key used to decrypt incoming data to the shuttle. 2.1. Person could optionally put crypto box back to ensure that no theft investigation takes place. 3. Person could now possibly use this information to control future shuttle missions (or use the information for other purposes).
Its a bit of a simplification, obviously since no-one in their right mind would use the same keys twice for two different missions but you see where im going

Its from ancient times, where the leader of a group yawned to signal that they were bored of their current task and wanted to do something else. Naturally, all the leaders' followers copied this yawn to show approval.
Not sure if this is true, and I cant remember where I heared it. Not even sure if its possible for an action to become genetically(?) transferable:)
Or teleport directly to the store? To the cash point? Or teleport stuff directly to your house?
No, media probably wont be necessary, your cached copy of the latest version of Duke Nukem Forever will probably be quantumly linked with a copy on the main server.
Hmm, if I recall, doesnt a change of a property in the local particle reflect with a change of the same property in the remote particle and vice-versa? Maybe theres a weakness for cracking physical things and not needing to be there?
"...If just AOL blocked port 25, this could reduce spam by 50% (I base this figure on close examination of the headers of the spam I receive)..."
No, because surely the spammers that used AOL will merely take five to find another open relay?
The problem with blocking like this is that it'd be useless until all the major open-relays are locked up tight. Only then will we see a reduction in spam, and even then it I doubt that it would be as much as 50% (but it'd be nice if it was).
I remember when I was a kid (not so long actually... maybe a couple of months hehe), I used to play "violent" games such as Cowboys and Indians. The progression from that game to now such games like Quasar/LaserQuest and that kinda stuff, SuperSoakers (not sure if the brands are in America too sorry) and the like.
My point is that Games with depicted violence really are nothing more than these clasical "violent" games. Does the fact that we see blood make a difference? I think not.
How long is it going to be before we see books that are allowed to graphically depict violence be banned?
Violence control is A Good Thing. Many people dont want their kids seeing violent games, and im sure many people dont want to see high levels of violence themselves. Let it be included, but dont insist on making our own minds for us Mr Government.
Oh and, before I go, games do have "distribution control". Just as movies have age rated, so do games...
I do Wing Chun (Ving Tsung) which is a little like Tai Chi. It'd be cool if someone created a machine that was a little like a Mook Yan Yong (Wooden Dummy) with moving arms and AI encorporated, so it could do basic Chi-Sau. I find that most of the time I have no partner to train with. Of course, it'd take a lot of work to recreate the pressure sensitivity etc, but im sure some bored person could do it...

Oh my, i've just had a vision of people driving around in wheel barrows, bicycles, shopping trolleys and other equally ridiculous things.
It would be called "GTA3: Surreal add-on pack". Now *that* would be cool.

Indeed, and as long as this new protocol is back-compatible with SMTP, spammers will still set it to legacy mode and carry on their usual business.
Back-compatibility therefore wont solve our problem
No no no... /. cool would be telnetting into their server and getting an ASCII-version of the movie(s)

"The Linux defect rate was 0.1 defects per 1,000 lines of code, Reasoning found" (From the article).
So, ideally now that one bug in that 10,000 lines has been fixed? Ahh, the beauty of open-source...

Can I turn off themes in XPde? Or can I at least install a KDE theme?
Ha! I'd rather a 512kbit dial up connection over a 56k constant any day...
