No. There's no such thing as "enough". There's no such thing as too many. Calories are just something she's not even supposed to think about, so seeing calorie counts are a trigger that can send her spiraling downward. Recovery is about the food and learning to eat again without any thoughts of counting calories, good food, bad food, etc.
As the father of a daughter who is recovering from anorexia, this is not a good thing. Seeing how many calories is in anything is one of the worst things for her. She's in recovery and handling things much better now, but we really don't need calorie counts in our faces everywhere we go. I guess that will further limit our restaurant and shopping choices to places that don't do this.
Yes, I realize the obesity problem in the U.S. And that people with eating disorders make up a much smaller percentage of the population than overweight people. But believe me, after seeing her go through this, and now recovering, the last thing I want are more triggers all over the place to make her think about it.
I was a senior in college when it happened, and I came home from class and watched the news coverage on TV. While that was happening, the phone rang. I didn't want to answer it, but I did. It was a recruiter from the company that I most wanted to work for, telling me that they weren't going to offer me a job. A bit later the phone rang again. This time it was my Mom, telling me that my Aunt and Uncle's house had burned to the ground the night before. Thank God noone was injured there. All around, not one of the best days of my life.
* Comcast became the first service provider to launch a new Web-based Rhapsody radio service. The Comcast Rhapsody Web Radio service is currently available to Comcast's 8.1M broadband customers. The service further complements Comcast's online music offering, which also includes: Rhapsody Radio PLUS, Rhapsody Unlimited, and Rhapsody To Go. Comcast Rhapsody Radio provides 50 commercial-free, genre-based stations (www.comcast.net/music).
Thank you for that, I was going to ask if anyone knew about Comcast's support. I know they have a free Rhapsody offer, but it's been Windows only. I'll use the free one under Linux for sure. I just like to listen to a lot of different music; if I hear something I really like, I'll buy it and rip my own tracks.

That KDE is more polished and more eye-candyish but I think the Gnome crew excels at user-friendliness. Time and again, I have tried to find how to do something in KDE and had trouble, but in Gnome it just seems more like Windows.
Ok, so tell me how to raise a window in Gnome _without_ clicking on the tiny two pixel wide frame (i.e., by clicking in the middle of the window) when the focus policy is set to "mouse follows cursor" and auto-raise is off.
Simple answer - you can't. And Gnome doesn't want you to. Maybe a minor nit-picking item, but for the way I work, it's a show stopper. Sometimes I want to raise a window with a mouse click (yeah, I have a key sequence to do it too), without having to try to hit a thin window border. So for me, that one little thing keeps me from Gnome.
And even though this is Slashdot, I won't even comment on the "Gnome just seems more like Windows" remark. Ugh.
You can always find something to buy on Christmas Eve - just TRY to find a costume the day before Hallowe'en - you'll be stuck wearing a "costume" you made from a roll of aluminium foil you scrounged from the pantry and some duct tape.
Gee thanks dick. Now everyone will be wearing MY costume!

I went to see the movie a couple weeks ago with my kids. Really a very good film. But the audience _wasn't_ all kids and parents - I'd say 75% of the crowd (in a nearly sold-out theater) were senior citizens. People like my parents, who aren't into the loud action flicks of the summer, but probably aren't into the animated kid flicks either.
I suppose someone's corrected me by now, but that should be Marcus du Sautoy. Damn that Slashdot posting too soon message (that I didn't notice til almost 24 hours later!).
I just finished "Fermat's Enigma", by Simon Singh. Not real heavy on math, considering the subject, but a very enjoyable read. "The Code Book", also by Singh was good. In between those two I read "The Music of the Primes", by Marcus du Satuy. All were worth reading, IMHO.
That's why it's usually good to look for a Printable Version link on the page. Yeah, you still have to get to the page once to find it, but then it comes up mostly ad-free and all on one page. Of course both versions seem to be Slashdotted now...:)
Of course they will, that's why this is a test version. FC3 had (I think) three test releases before the final released version.

Test releases are really not for the "average tech fiddler on the street". If you're not ready to commit a system for testing purposes, then you/they really should stick with FC3 for now. A normal or finished user-based distro (e.g. SUSE, FC3, Mandrake..) would generally not have such problems with the install. FC4 will be the same way when it's done and not in testing.

If you're using gnu grep, you can use the -H option (or --with-filename) instead of the dummy /dev/null argument.
But as long as we can play Duke Nukem Forever on it, who cares?!

He was subtle too. My Dad's comment on any nice looking scenery was more like "look at the knockers on that one son!".
Be sure to read that second link in the summary as well. Looks like they have the same thing planned for audio too! DRM'd speakers, anyone?
