Not everyone can have a house. Not everyone can have a car. Not everyone can live close to all the cool stuff in a city. That definition of "sufficient" is clearly debatable.
Certainly sufficient for survival is not what was meant. Sufficient for a comfortable existence relative to history? I don't think that is what is meant either. I think sufficient in this case means "as good or better than everyone else."
This insufferable materialism is killing us by inches. There's not a lot of inertia behind avoiding it either. I've never seen so many people fall so willingly into slavery.
No. Good great jebus no... Do NOT buy nvidia stock right now. They're sitting on a product they can't sell and waiting for a buyout that will NOT get them fair value for their shares.
Consider them to be a home owner in today's market, and you buying stock in them, as investing in the financial future they can make for themselves, with what they have, in this environment.
Yoga (hire a tutor if you want) and Plyo can easily be done in the home.
Most people don't need free weights, they are all the weight they need. See here for specific exercises and examples.
Start with the Sun Salutations (lots of youtube links, but be sure an actual instructor sees you do it before you begin your practice). Flexibility and range of motion is important. Relax into the stretch, don't actively stretch. Learn to breathe (yeah, I know, sounds dumb, but most people do it wrong... diaphramatic breathing aides in relaxation among other things, and is more efficient). Move on to (any of a dozen different kinds of) pushups, canoe/reverse canoe, one-legged squats, wall sits. Start walking in the morning before your shower.
Change it up. Your body adapts really quickly to stress loads it has experienced before. The hardest part about working out isn't exertion, it's figuring out what to do and how to do it.
Also, before you start trying to get ripped by maxing out and doing pyramids, keep in mind that time under tension is far more important than percent of maximal effort, and you can efficiently tear muscle down with less injury risk just by dropping the weight and increasing the rep duration.
Supplements are a waste of money. The correct diet is safer and far more efficient. Don't overdo the protein grams. Most people get too much protein as it is (and not nearly enough fiber, dark leafy greens and good fats).
Every single component in every single computer is... MADE IN CHINA!!!! You can't compute ethically so you may as well shoot yourself. Luckily for me, I'm a hypocrite.
But they don't provide the whole internet, so they're going to provide a branded experience. A shitty experience. An experience that puts them at a competative disadvantage.
I mean. What's to stop a politically submissive cash cow from cutting off the pr0n? You think prohibition was bad? That could spark the first coup in my lifetime.
This being slashdot, I figure someone out there will have an informed opinion on the technology they plan on using to perform this task. I'm particularly interested in how they plan on preventing uncooperative isp's from using this as a competative advantage.
Please Microsoft ignore this man's plea. For the love of GOD you're advancing the plight of open source software by decades at a time with shit like this!
God let this be a huge disasterous boondoggle for Microsoft. Please please please please please. I don't even believe in you God, but if you're up there, and you're a Just God, you will hear this and smite their backups with a bolt of bitrot.
If I go into work on Monday and everyone's computer is running in "restricted mode" it will be MUCH easier to convince my boss to let me get rid of our last remaining MSSQL instance.
Who let's themselves be treated this way? You wouldn't let Ford decide whether you could shift past 2nd gear based on your lease payments being up to date. What the fuck is wrong with you people?
Encrypt everything. What's the problem with this? We already have secure protocols, just use them. Who cares how deep they inspect. All they'll see is garbage.
I can't WAIT for this to happen. Finally a return to the internet of old, where the bar to entry was high enough to keep the "ASL?! meTOO!oneone!!11" crowd off.
Smoking tobacco in and of itself does not cause cancer in the rates we're seeing today. Nicotine and tobacco are fairly benign. The delivery mechanisms that the tobacco companies have invented to get that nicotine into your blood as quickly as possible are the real killers. A lot of the radioactive isotopes found in tobacco smoke are there because of how the plant is grown. Organically grown tobacco does not have these characteristics (less ammonia per puff, fewer radio-isotopes, less cancer). Light cigarettes are possibly the worst type for you. They may be low in tar and nicotine, but your body compensates by taking much larger drags, which, it turns out, causes a hotter burn and deadlier smoke.
Personally, I buy boxes of 11 mg nicotine patches, cut them in half, and wear them during the day. The cost is about half of what smoking is, there are no breathing problems, I don't smell, I don't spit and I still get my fix. I haven't smoked a cigarette in over 5 years now.
It's too late. Places like Axciom already aggregate and sell this information. If you've bought two products from vendors that cooperate with Axciom (and they are well paid to cooperate), and you each email address on a different order, you're already hosed. They have already given everyone a number and started associated all the little bits of data they can get their hands on to form a complete consumption profile.
There are WAY too many poor people online right now. If we let them communicate freely, the marketplace of ideas will take over, and the good ones will rise to the top. Good ideas are bad for business. Truth is bad for religious zealotry. As a shareholder and a person who will likely do well in the pending fascist theocracy, I see this as a win for me and all people like me.
HP believes pretexting is "proper." HP believes that pretexting, something that if I were to do to HP would certainly NOT be considered "proper" is perfectly acceptable.
Keep in mind that it wasn't long ago that a bill legalizing pretexting was pushed by the RIAA.
Please stop buying HP stuff. Please stop buying stuff from companies that have a political axe to grind against their consumers. Please stop buying stuff from companies that consider consumers a silent, renewable, god given, right to exploit resource that simply keeps buying their dreck regardless of their political behavior.
Start voting (because you haven't been at the polls). Boycott HP.
Google is beholden to capitalism. No longer a private organization, its board can be sued for making decisions that negatively impact the value of the stock.
Google's motto should now be "Don't be evil, unless it increases our stock price."

SHORT TO ZERO. This is not a long.
I have no disclosures to make.
omg... thanks dude... :)
Just one nit to pick.
Generally, we are talking about hidden markov models. linky
this certainly raises some questions about the likelihood of successful privatization of the Space industry."
It's official. Netcraft now confirms...
ah fuckit
Wait... So they're preventing AOL'ers and their big ISP ilk from accessing USENET? Is this a return to the golden age?
This is awesome for usenet.

Also, give the Shangri-la diet a try. It worked for me.
Know what's harder than LaTex when you need math typeset correctly? Anything that's not LaTex.
The GOP will claim this is evidence that global warming is junk science.
Yeah. Once the computers know how stupid and lazy we are, they'll be compelled to take control for fear of annihilation by epic dumbassery.
