I've lost 60 lbs in 6 months doing LCHF diet. This was while still consuming the same caloric volume that I was prior to avoiding carbohydrates.
So by increasing fat consumption, and decreasing carbohydrates, yes I lost 60 lbs.
FAT alone does NOT make you fat. Elevated insulin levels + Fat/Sugar/Anything makes you fat. Control the insulin (via fasting, low carb, whatever), and cease storing fat.
Not true. It's not how much you consume, it's what you consume. If you do not understand this, you miss the entire point. LC diets change how your body gets its energy. Do some actual reading, as this DOES have hard scientific evidence to substantiate it. It is not simply calories in vs. calories out.
I agree that owners should be responsible, however nobody is perfect and accidents can happen, as even perfect owners such as yourself can be prone to the unpredictability of animals. Especially for new owners, who even armed with basic common sense, might not be able to figure out that Fido is burrowing an escape tunnel under the fence, etc. I think it's an absolutely sound option to be able to find your loved pet in the event that it does get into mischief! Which is better? Finding your mischievous animal before he freezes to death scared or finding him, bringing him back home, learning from the mistake, and saving its life? It's just another way to bring piece of mind to the owner, keep dogs from becoming strays, and reducing road kill. Nobody is saying this is a magic bullet in pet ownership and care!!!
Other than the "haha, I did X on a platform that isn't really meant for it" factor, why would any serious game developer choose the javascript-in-a-browser platform?
Probably the same reason that half of the stuff that you see on the web works. Because they "can".
At a risk of being flame bait, I say good. I hope this movie drags this over saturated franchise down to unrecoverable depths. I dream of a day that I do not see Star Wars iterated in every form imaginable. A day where even the nerds realize it's no longer cool or hip to cosplay as Darth Vader and Princess Leia, or write slash fanfic about it.
I totally agree most people (definitely myself as well) probably do not exercise the correct way. What people have to remember though is you can't overload a person with all of this when they are first starting to want to get back in shape or it just scares them off. Sure they might not be doing curls or bench presses to the ISO standard or whatever, but I think that comes later, after they have conditioned their minds back into WANTING to do all that. I just started back using a Bow-Flex with a friend 3 weeks ago that had been gathering dust in my apartment for years, and while I'm sure that I'm not doing everything correctly, as I get back into the swing of doing this, I'll gradually refine my routine. I might never do a 100% correct curl, but I can live with that.
Sure, I Ubuntu can be configured to look pretty, whether you are a GNOME or KDE fan. Compiz can turn heads of lots of people, sure. BUT -- When I take my IT gloves off and put my teeny bopper gloves on, I can end up getting Ubuntu into an unusable or locked up state in no time. Since 1995 I've dabbled with various distros off and on, starting from Slackware, to SuSE, to now Ubuntu and while they are now eons from where they once were, they still do not have the rock solid feel of an OSX and (I'll go ahead and say it) Vista feel with the UI (I said UI, not stability, ok?). Ubuntu's nice UI is only skin deep and very brittle. I mean seriously, I f*cked up my KDE appearance in minutes on accident to where a average user would be screwed (maybe because I'm raised on GNOME).
And I'm sure this is not the first time or last it will be mentioned, but if Ubuntu wants to attract more people, they need to drop the brown/orange "Human" color scheme and window decoration they've been trying to push. Or at least localize initial themes to different target audiences.
These words ring very true. I'm currently an IT employee at a paper company, and have been fortunate so far to not be displaced by EDS or others. What's funny is that the quality of work (did it really get fixed? how long did it take?) has been very bad, but the higher-ups are willing to accept that in return for less money spent.
These days we are offered the luxury of cheap storage in a variety of formats (Flash, Magnetic, Optical, Offsite/Online services).
The last thing I'd trust would be magnetic media, especially media with moving parts (portable USB hard drives being the worst offender).
Optical is nice enough, if you take care to store the media in a safe place, or offline easily. I'm not a huge fan of burning data to disk, as it's usually a task of finding a sharpie before just setting the thing somewhere and forget what's on it. (I've literally got a whole spindle of "unknown stuff" because I'm too lazy to commit to the task of doing it right).
Off-site/online backup is very convenient with software being able to automate it nearly seamlessly for you, assuming you have the bandwidth to get it up in the cloud and trust your storage providers. Assuming you do, at least you can rest somewhat assured that they have redundancy and backups which removes the worry/maintanance on your part. It's a nice "set it, and forget it!" mentality, and prices are reasonable so you don't have to worry about it.
I'm a victim of not being able to take my own advice however. I usually just fill up a 250GB harddrive, take it offline and let it hang out in a static bag in a cluttered desk drawer. I'm surprised that my QuickBasic files from 1992 migrated their way somehow from floppy to mass storage.
90% of the stuff I squirrel away is nostalgic crap however.
Uh, Snake (as much as I love the guy) himself is pretty formulaic, I'm afraid.
Colonel: SNAKE! You must destroy Metal Gear! Snake: Metal Gear? Colonel: Sigh... We've been through this. Metal Gear is a mobile device capable of launching nuclear missles from anywhere! Snake: Nuclear Missles? Colonel: Goddamnit, Snake. Didn't you learn anything in the debriefing? Snake: Debriefing?
I'll consider a breakthrough in display technology to be when you can get this on packaging and products that don't have to be self-luminating to be seen. Will I have to "turn off" all my stuff so my bedroom isn't glowing with cereal box labels, empty cheetos and Mt. Dew cans?
And why can't I clean up my room and eat better anyway?

Except none of the factors you mention have anything to do with childhood obesity.
So while these factors fit your case, we need to remember the scope of the problem. Not refuting anything you've added, just keeping perspective.
Look up dietary ketosis, please.

Dude, all 5 of your points are hyperbole and exaggeration.

Course ya do!

What do your comments have to do with the technology at all except offer the already abundant rhetoric about the company itself? Oh wait, nothing.

Some people have tons of time and are low on money.
Sounds like they need a job.
Why do convoluted questions like these ever see the light of day on the front page of /.?
Your signature is oddly appropriate. :)

Why does it have to be a sphere? I'd think a cube would be much easier to make (and measure)?
Most tape media is virtual tape these days anyway, usually to a RAID array of harddrives that are moved to an offsite location every n days.

Wouldn't that mean that MediaSentry would be in violation of copyright itself?

You're ignorant and wrong if you think that Glider is the only WOW bot out there. Go Google Innerspace+WOW.
I thought it was called bloggers.
And never set foot in a grocery store again, by that logic.
