    I really like your OS X in a VM on LInux approach.

    Honestly, I HATE Jony Ive's influence on the new UIs. They are terrible in clarity and readability when compared to 10.6.8 and iOS 5.

    Seriously.

    No, you don't have to hand your phone over.

    I worked on some of the technology in this.

    Can't tell you anything about it, but you don't have to hand over your phone. That's FUD.

    And if you don't believe me, you can still use your printed license if you want too.

  13. No affect on blood cholesterol levels? on US Gov't To Withdraw Food Warnings About Dietary Cholesterol · · Score: 1

    OK. I'll tell you a story.

    I was a pretty fit guy and during the day, I'd leave me company, walk next door and get these lovely ham and egg croissants.

    I'd do it twice a day.

    At my yearly checkup, my blood free cholesterol evel was up to 326, a good number for a fucking batting average.

    After thinking about what could have caused this, I asked the cook how many eggs were in the croissants and was told that there were 2 per croissant.

    I was eating 4 eggs with their yolks each day.

    I changed my twice daily request for croissants to be with egg whites and ham.

    With that dietary change alone, my blood cholesterol level dropped to 190.

    Nothing else. Just getting rid of the egg yolks dropped my blood cholesterol by 130 points.

    With this one data point in mind, I'm not so sure that dropping this warning is a good idea.

  23. I spent one summer working in a factory in the Fresno desert. It used evaporative cooling to cool the plant.

    I can tell you that there is a point where evaporative cooling fails and then the air just becomes hot and sticky.
