I do admit to sitting on my @ss all day, about 16 hours a day. But I do so because I am a self-employed software developer and I'm passionate about what I do: help people become webmasters and work for themselves.
I give them free education, free resources, and the webmasters are never charged. If they use our hosting services to provide for their clients, we make money off of that.
In short I spend 16 hours a day creating "jobs" for people, and good ones at that (set their own hours, write their own paychack).
While I do mitch and boan about politics (contstructively, I hope), I also strive to be part of the solution, and not part of the problem.
Science offers us so many incredible possibilities to explore, things that can greatly enhance our everyday lives, and yet our tax dollars go to things like this.
I wish there were a militarily strategic reason to find a cure to cancer, stroke, or diabetes, because they'd all be cured by now just by the amount of money and focus thrown at them.
I also wish there were a law in the U.S. that for every dollar spent on the military, a dollar had to be spent on education.
When microsoft reams the masses, they have no where to go (as much as I love Linux). Sales surge because computer sales surge, and unfortunately microsofts OS ships on almost every single one of them.
Music is a different story. Now if the RIAA starts to ream the masses, which they certainly are, the masses have a number of easy choices at their disposal:
1) Ban commercial music purchases entirely, as I have
2) Only buy music from sources where the prices are less jacked up, like iTunes, which is great.
3) Buy way less music, like the average American has.
Either way, the writing is on the wall and the RIAA and music industry are digging their own grave.
Now if everyone who got sued by the RIAA counter-sued with similar charges, you'd see these lawsuits go away entirely, for two reasons:
1) The RIAA can't stand up to intense public scrutiny, without shooting themselves (and their industry) in the foot.
2) Being sued by over 1,000 people becomes cost prohibitive very quickly, particularly considering it will be in 100's of different courtrooms spread across America.
I'm not a big fan of lawsuits, but I say good for her.
Exactly the same can be said for ANY type of live food, including vegetables and fruits.
That is why Atkins recommends, and I agree, that everyone should take a nutritional suplement. No exceptions.
There's no reason not to. "But you just pee out most of it"... Who cares? I'm better off with the 10% that remains than none at all. For the $10 a month I spend in vitamins, it's worth it. And I feel better and get sick less when I take them than when I don't.
So, we've come full circle to the fact that Atkins is a healthy diet involving a balance of food, not just meat, and eliminating the most harmful things in the U.S. diet, with an added bonus of vitamins.
Not entirely true. There is a huge difference in the Glycemic Index value of the two. And the GI is really what the Atkins diet is all about, and where 90% of this country problems come from.
Wonderbread is 77 on the GI, a bagel is 73, and many wheat/oat/bran/whole grain breads are in the 30's and 40's. THAT is the difference.
You can educate yourself on the GI, if you care (which I doubt). If you lower the average GI of all the food you eat, you'll be substantially healthier than if you don't. Period. This includes signifigantly lowering your chances and symptoms of hypoglycemia (pre-diabetes), hyperglycemia (diabetes), cancer, and most other diseases.
It has almost nothing to do with holding your terd together.
Yeah, well, tons of doctors smoke, and the average life expectancy for a doctor is 58,compared to 73 - 77 for the rest of us. So maybe we're best only consulting them if we need surgery.
I'm sorry about your Dad, but the Atkins diet is safe if you do the diet right. He may have chosen to eat beef, ribs, steak, and more beef all day everyday, and you would lose weight that way, but that isn't what the atkins diet teaches.
It teaches balance and variety, while reducing carbo-ediction (something human bodies weren't meant for, its new since the 1890's when white flour and soda pop came into play). Granted the first 2 weeks of the diet is more extreme than the rest, but done right it is very safe and healthy.
If I stayed on my previous course, I guarantee you I'd have diabetes and be insulin dependent, eventually loosing my eyesight and probably my feet. Now I feel I have a chance, and I feel great, with lots of energy. I don't get shakey and headaches now like I did before (hypoglycemic).
Again, I'm sorry about your Dad, but the Atkins diet has helped far more than it has hurt. Like seatbelts and airbags, which occaisionally cause fatalities, but prevent far, far more.
The Atkins diet doesn't suggest you do live on meat alone.
You do a 2 week induction period consisting of liberal amounts of fish, fowl, shellfish, meat, eggs, and vegetables.
After the 2 weeks (or up to 4 weeks if you choose) you can increase the amount of carbs you eat from 20 to 40 or 60 per day, as long as you maintain your weightloss.
After the diet you maintain your weight by increasing your carbs to the point of balance, no loss no gain.
Who said anything about living on meat? In reality, I'm not eating that much more meat than I did before, I just don't eat the bun, the fries, or the drink.
Amazing, I eliminate junkfood from my diet, eat very healthy, lose weight, have more energy, sleep better, feel better, and people say "Great, good for you". Call the exact same thing the Atkins Diet and they say "Oh, you're going to die of kidney failure and heart disease".
Our entire society is disgustingly fat and undernourished, and I bet you $100 I'm more healthy and live longer than 75% of them. The winner gets paid at the first funeral, see you at yours.
Ketosis is a true principle and NOT something Dr. Atkins just made up.
Your body has 2 choices in fuel: glucose from carbohydrates, or fat. Period.
If you remove the glucose, the body has no choice but to burn fat or die. I've been on the Atkins diet for a week now and lost 12 lbs, and I feel great. I have far more energy that a week ago, particularly mental energy (as a carbo-junkie I got drowsey and lethargic every afternoon).
I'm peeing like a russian race horse, which is hardly a sign of a dehydrated body. In fact, it is a sign of proper hydration.
I'd wager that of the 12 lbs I've lost, 11 of it is fat. That would be in line with the results of other doing the Atkins diet during medical studies.
Read more, maybe even try it or talk to someone who does before you spew out the first dietary buzz-phrase that comes into your narrow little uninformed mind.
Multi-function is almost always a bad idea. Unless space is REALLY in short supply you're far better off with a separate printer, separate fax, and separate scanner.
Piece of cake. Remove the wires from the motor that actually resists the yoke turning the wrong direction.
Hook those wires instead to a fan, blowing on your face. Now, the closer you get to your ~final~ destination (and resting spot) the more the plane resists, and the more you get blown on (since you're no doubt sweating, since you'll be dying for allah soon).
Screw the hi-tech stuff, it all comes down to a vulnerable motor that has to do the work and is easily compromised...
Screw hacking in the sky, it's your plane, just buy a plane, strip out all of the unnecessary electronics (including this thing, or just cut the wires controlling the motor that fights back on the yoke), fill your plane with explosives, fly til you die.
This is stupid and poorly thought out. Hack proof, what a bunch of in-box thinking idiots. What, do they think terrorists play by the rules?

I don't drink coffee (or alcohol), so during my all-night codefests I go through vast amounts of Dr. Pepper, beef jerky, and swedish fish.
It's surprising how far on can go on that combination. Even more surprising is how much of each it takes, especially as I get older (30).

It can be easily implemented into any MTA using their function of checking with an external program.
A simple perl / bash / C script can be written that returns true everytime, but only after a predefined pause.

Firebird is a different story.
Firebird == browser
Mozilla == browser + email + newsgroup + chat.
Why wait?
America, if we're unfortunate to have you in our borders, could do with far less people like you.
You clearly contribute nothing to society (a mind that can come up with this can come up with nothing of value).
Your life would be better spent hooked up to a matrix-style machine producing electricity for the rest of us to use. At least then you'd be useful.
So we don't have to resort to that, why don't you put down the mouse and keyboard, step away from the computer, and go do something with your life.
I'm sorry, but first anime and now this... there is something very wrong going on over there...
Thats funny, my linux server has been up and serving pages for 2.5 years without a reboot.
Piece of cake. Remove the wires from the motor that actually resists the yoke turning the wrong direction.
