The connotation of the word has changed, deal with it, move on. You lost this war years ago. If you don't like what it now means to everyone but you and a few others, then don't choose it as your label.
Simply put, if the masses see "hackers" as evil criminals then that's what "hackers" are. Language is determined by the masses, not by a small minority who get to determine what's PC or right.
You can see the lights from space, but you can't see the starving children.
Yeah, convenient how you can't see the parents who decided to have children which they couldn't feed. You see starving kids? Blame the parents.
Hey I live in this poor African country with AIDS epidemics and live in starvation conditions. I know! I'm going to fuck like a rabbit with no protection and bring twelve kids into this world so they can starve to death.
...and thus you burn more calories. Naturally. It's not the exercise that burns them (though it does burn a little), it's the increase in your muscle mass due to the exercise.
Muscles are metabolically active, and produce heat by burning calories every day, whether you use them or not. But if you don't use them, you gradually lose muscle mass, and your metabolism goes down.
To take your 2000 calories burned naturally per day... what if I told you by doing 30min weight training sessions, 3 times per week, you could increase that over 2200? Maybe over 2300? You'd double your weight loss at no expense to you, get stronger, and feel a lot better to boot.
Plus, exercise will make you live longer.
So writing off exercise completely is not a great idea. Just don't overdo it.
They're not supposed to be filtering based on content.
Says who? A bunch of libertarians? Come on. The ISP is in the perfect position to filter content on a regional basis. Yes, this means state- or province-wide.
If it is efficient to block child porn at the ISP level then so be it. I don't care if information wants to be free, that stuff SHOULD be censored, and the people who make it should never see the light of day again.
You didn't take into account the amount of visualization (images) a person does during a day. That's thinking too.
There are some good artists out there.

The Future of the CD

· Score: 3, Interesting
Not everything out there is a boy band.
Matthew Good makes his videos and singles available as a free non-DRM download from his website. Since free is good, you can take a look at his website.
Canadian artists really need more exposure in the states. Artists who embrace the internet also need our support. I suggest you check Kazaa for Matthew Good Band and check out the Beautiful Midnight album. You won't be disappointed, I promise.
Matthew Good's new CD, Avalanche, will be a dual-format disc, and will contain the music videos of their two new singles. In addition, you will get a key code with the CD, which will let you order a pretty cheap remix of the songs.
I was curious to how the Wayback Machine's operators view its legal status... I mean, it's not really a search engine in the broadly accepted meaning of the term. It doesn't just search what's out there, it archives entire pages of old information; And while search engine sites do this (google), this is ALL the wayback machine site does.
Surely they must know they're treading on untested legal ground. All it might take is one offended copyright holder to bring the whole thing to its knees. Basing it in a country other than the USA might have been smarter, then, given the existence of laws like the DMCA which could serve to shut the site down.
Personally I always found browsing on WinCE mobile PCs to be complicated by the fact that the browser itself likes to take up a good 35% of the screen space. Packing features in is great guys, but the first browser to give a sense of utility without making me feel like I'm browsing the net through a keyhole is the one that gets my money.
Why not produce lifeforms that can (for example) consume greenhouse gasses and produce energy? That would certainly reduce the strain on the environment.
Well several Microsoft EULAs were submitted for entry into the Library of Congress but they couldn't afford to build a new wing of the building to store them in....
Actually it's pretty smart. If it was just a popup add or banner, we could block it with an entry in our hosts file.
Ad Placements^H^H^H^HStories are a little harder to block.
Other news sites do this already, you just likely don't notice it. CNN does it all the time. I know CTV Newsnet in Canada does it on the air more than once per day.
I see people on one antibiotic, say Vancomycin, and the germs becoming resistant to them. Well, why not just perscribe 2 or 3 different antibiotics? That way if BacteriaA develops a resistance to AntibioticA, AntibioticB and C are still around to kill it, and thus it does not survive.
With one antibiotic, developing resistance is almost a certainty. With three or more antibiotics, the odds of a pathogen developing a resistance to all three at once must be nearly impossible.
Many of us have been waiting awhile for this release. Certainly I have. Perhaps this new software will solve the stability issues many users were having with the older version.
They both let the users exercise their "god" complexes. Control a virtual family, or take the power of life and death into your hands. It all plays into people's craving for power and control, something we lack in our daily lives.
If your game lets people do things they can't do in their real lives, it will be successful.

Heh, awesome. Four months later and my article still gets plugs...
I got something right.

the concept of ranking someone's "fame" by search engine results dates back to the debut of Altavista. Not new by a long shot...
So you make a system without flaws. It can be done.

do you? It doesn't seem anybody does...
They are losing something. It's not money, it's not customers... it's control. Sometimes that's more important than either of the others.
Does the publisher ship to Iraq?

For a fee, of course.
This means that we may not actually know for certain what the state of Mars was 3 billion years ago. What a surprise.
why not just have ISPs disable outgoing SMTP traffic except to their own mail servers, and throttle users to 10 emails per day?
Would you then object to software that could read "copy-protected" CDs?

Oh the irony is killing me.
