The metric is flawed because if anything it is likely to prove the opposite. the 25-30 range might be the healthiest range because it doesn't actually mean "overweight" as must people understand what "overweight" means.
Although the GP is right that caloric restriction and BMI are different, it would be logical that someone who partakes in calorie restriction would not be overweight but likely underweight.
Wrong. They'd probably be skinny fat. "rate of energy out" is a dynamic variable dependent on "energy in". That's why body builders cycle calories and do things to "trick" the body into keeping "rate of energy out" high while trying to reduce "energy in" so they can cut fat.
People on starvation diets usually burn most of their lean body mass and accumulate a higher ratio of fat -- skinny fat.
BMI IS broken. Why not just use a 3 minute electronic body fat measure? It's going to be more effective in measuring what we really care about anyway. What edge case cancels out the fit by "overweight" people?
I"m guessing the study had a lot of fit people that had a BMI that made them overweight and so they are living longer. But mainly it's because they are in good shape.
BMI is really stupid. Weight != fat. Fat vs height makes sense. Weight vs height doesn't make any sense. They already have a meaningful and easy to measure stat: body fat percentage.
Even if the electronic measurement is off by a bunch it is still WAY more accurate than BMI. There is no way that it is even possible for my frame at 6' 2" to get into the normal BMI range. I have a 6-pack and weigh 215 pounds and will never be below 195 pounds.
Weight is such an awful measure anyway. My weight can easily change by 4% from water weight (salt intake vs. dehydrated). BMI should be completely discarded. It isn't accurate on anyone over 5' 10" anyway.
We have far too many young girls measuring the success or failure of their diets based upon the scale. And then we get all these skinny-fat girls.
After we get rid of the harmful BMI, maybe we can smash the 90s idea that eating dietary fat makes you fat. I'm tired of arguing with people that fat is not inherently bad for you any more than carbs are inherently bad for you (ie: olive oil, poly and unsaturated fats)
4. The Access Point decrypts the material, and compares it with the clear-text it had sent. Depending on the success of this comparison, the Access Point sends back a positive or negative response.
Also, if you are referring to WPA, i'm pretty sure the handshake completes just like every other authentication protocol. Not giving any response is not the way to solve brute force attacks. Key space and dynamic keys are generally the way you mitigate brute force attacks (along with algorithm strength and other things)
Wep is broken because of the effective key space it uses along with a couple of other weaknesses.
Windows will try to get a DHCP address and eventually come up with "limited or no connectivity"..
That's the real problem. Windows is stupid at determining the problem. Why does my mac have a fast turn around speed when i screw up my wep key? I don't think the AP is acting any different, so it must be the way the OS handles failures.
What you are saying is that "using a double-check might save a few minutes" and its easier than fixing windows to detect wep key failure.
The microsoft wireless access passwords are done like that because they are complete idiots. Why do you have to type it in twice?? If it works on the first try, why use the second field at all?
How do you beg a question? What does that even mean? I know how to beg money, but i'm not really sure how you beg questions. Shouldn't he be begging answers?
I care if my $100 phone is lost or stolen. How is it a negative to care about losing something expensive? If it was the other way around you'd make fun of yuppies that don't care if their $600 phone is stolen because they are so casual with money.
Geez. Only on slashdot would you find people bitching about a good feature. God, what a fan boi. he only has an iphone because it makes him coffee and gives him blowjobs every morning. What a loser.

haha. very well. I assert BMI is as stupid as a measurement as dividing temperature by length.

except it proved the opposite. Being ripped and overweight with muscle makes you live longer. Because most people with muscle are "overweight."

I call bullshit. Let's see some references. Next you'll be telling me that we should all be on low fat diets, because eating fat makes one fat.
Fat is better for running than muscle??
They have electronic body fat measuring devices that are far more accurate than BMI and only take minutes to do without having to do skinfold tests.

Me: 6' 2"
weight: 215
BMI: 28 - overweight
I cycle 10 miles a day to and from work. Hit the gym 3-5 days a week for resistance training. I weight 215 pounds and have a 6-pack.
Oh and i asked my doctor what the lowest possible weight should would recommend for me, if say i wanted to wrestle a low weight class: 190 pounds.
The study proves that the BMI is wrong. An overweight BMI might mean in shape and active.
I don't want it both ways. I'd sooner have people flaming airport security than preventing their liberty.
because it's inconceivable that the TSA would treat someone this way...
Windows is broken in this regard.

No, i misspelled it. Are you suggesting that there is another similar word that confused you when i misspelled it?
Yes. So did you read that part or not?
Why thank you! I have been trying to stay thin, and you've noticed!

lit is now written? What does that mean?
Where you trying to make the very informative post that i misspelled "liable"? It is good you didn't make any mistakes in your post.
Did you even read the rest of the sentence that might have given you some context?
In a perfect world we'd lock up dangerous people who think it is ok to lock up people that have committed no crimes.
They've went and opened a can of yarn.

I'm assuming the school district is still libel for the actions of it's employees even if the principal got a free pass.
Strip search a 13 year old girl? They better be looking for nuclear weapons or at least yellow cake.
Python and perhaps ruby use negatives to index from the end of the list/array.
