Because it makes you warm, combined with being exposed to the outdoor heat. Nothing to do with exercise benefit. I know someone who's cycled to work for years and just gets fatter and fatter, can't even sprint twenty yards without getting out of breath.
People like it because it's easy and dumbed down. You can play it whilst half asleep just by banging your head on the keyboard. It'll soon be forgotten like Everquest was as there is no depth do the gameplay, just point and drool.
That doesn't work as the string only pulls when it's taut, so the closer the stone got to your hand the lower the 'gravity' would be, which is the opposite of real gravity.
I think you should have to pass an intelligence test before you should be allowed to program computers. You should show that you possess the basic common sense that ensures you won't make software that can be turned into zombies or hit by viruses or worms. Of course, this means that about 90% of the current programming population would be barred.
It's easy to find CPUs, memory and hardware that work with Linux. Generally the main problem is getting video cards, TV cards, remote controls etc that work with Linux.
I think World of Warcraft has shown that a good mix of both is a nice compromise. With simple classes (e.g. Priest, Warrior, Hunter etc) but allowing players to further customise those roles for their play style (E.g. Priest healer or Priest for damage).
That's not really a mix or a compromise, you're still pigeonholed, there are just more holes to go into. A true classless system would enable you to practice any skill and have any hybrid, with your effectiveness only limited by your stats.
Perhaps Blizzard's ability to stay in the "Shades of Grey" is why it has 50% of the MMPORPG market at the minute?
Blizzard dominate the MMORPG market the same way McDonalds dominate the fast food market: by dumbing everything down and making it as simple and bland as possible so it appeals to as many people as possible, plus a large marketing budget.
But, as I have said, if you start down the slippery slope that the media should be able to influence the courts, then you may as well let Rupert Murdoch decide all cases.
None of the concepts or technology behind mobile phones was ever conceived or even mentioned on Star Trek. I could make a TV series involving a working fusion reactor, but it wouldn't mean I could take credit for it when one was eventually invented.
I think there should be a disclaimer that George Galloway is a worshipper of Saddam Hussein, and was seen on camera wishing him good luck in conquering Jerusalem.
Also I'm sure he'd love to be referred to as English.
I know. They don't need it though. They are obsessed with superstition. Many body builders have bizzare habits they follow religiously because they think it helps them.
Actually they come to that number through actual experience and practice. I know you like to stereotype anyone who exercises as stupid to cover up for your own insecurities about being a weak geek, but believe it or not some bodybuilders are actually intelligent and can know more about their field than some skinny rake in a lab.
Actually, many former body builders do have poor bone density.
Bodybuilders have better bone density on average than the general population. In fact doctors often prescribe weightlifting to old people to prevent bone fractures.
There is more water in your muscles than protein. That doesn't mean that drinking more water than you need will give you big muscles any more than it means eating more protein than you need will.
It means you need sufficient water and protein in order to build and maintain muscle. This means avoiding a vegan diet, which is why most vegans look like they've been chained to a basement wall for the last twenty years.
Its not guessing like bodybuilders do, its scientific tests.
Actually bodybuilders methods are more scientific, as they're based on how things actually work for real, not in a lab.
You might be surprised to find out that the people who design RDAs have vested interests. Remember the Food Pyramid that was designed by the grain industry?
Then what is the excuse for the densely populated areas of America like California and New York not having equivalent Internat access to the densely populated areas of Korea and Sweden?
Btw that thing in the summary about UK broadband is unbelievable, I'm in the UK and have never heard of anything that fast, you're usually lucky to get 512k.
Guild Wars isn't really a MMORPG. And PK isn't interesting if it only happens in organised instances. It's only exciting if you can get killed in any place in the entire game, even when you don't want it and aren't expecting it.
while at the same time modifying the game to be *less* friendly to the casual player. (Adding in the honor system, adding in 40-man insane-hard raids, etc.)
You know that adding features for non-casual players doesn't take anything away from casual players? I don't see how forty geeks in a raid on the other side of a map takes away enjoyment for a casual player killing rabbits for a few minutes during a lunch break.
They are not stored however, and since even marathon runners and body builders do not need more than 70-80g of protein per day,
Actually most body-builders get at least 200g of protein a day. I suppose that after decades of experience of thousands of body builders doing that without any kidney or calcium problems, they're wrong and some ivory tower academic who's never stepped in a gym is right? I don't know what marathon runners have to do with anything considering they have no muscle at all.
Again, protein does not make you strong. Its simple one of the basic building blocks required to create tissues. Excercise makes you strong.
If you don't eat enough protein for your muscles to maintain themselves then they atrophy. Exercise can only make you so strong without the protein necessary to build muscles. Perhaps you weren't aware, but muscles are actually made out of protein?
And most americans already eat far more protein than they need, as the RDA is 50-55g for women, and 60-65g for men.
The RDA is government crap aimed at desk workers who may as well be in a coma considering how little they actually use their bodies. I wouldn't trust the goverment to change my lightbulb, let alone tell me what to eat.
At many restaurants, a single burger contains more protein than that.
If we assume that burger meat has 20g of protein per hundred grams (a very generous estimate), it would need to be a three-quarter pounder burger. Maybe they have those in America but over here a quarter pounder is considered big.
Go read any basic intro to biochem and you will see how incredibly stupid your comment was.
I'm afraid I'm not interested in ivory tower crap.
Wow. Are you on the Beef council? While the two researchers whose publications I've read (Dr. Aldana & Dr. Campbell) haven't agreed on the extent of the meat problem, both of them,
I generally disregard the advice of people with 'Dr' in their names, and have done since I read about the 'Food Pyramid'.
both of them, without exception, group red meat into the candy and junk food category.
I think it's quite safe to say that all that time up in their ivory towers has made them light-headed.
On the other hand, how much of the world's hunger problem could we solve today if we shipped the grain we feed our cattle to humans who need it?
If you knew anything about food distribution and the reasons for world starvation, you wouldn't ask that question. To save you doing any research, the answer is 'none'. Africa has enough agricultural capacity to sustain itself, and the problems in China and North Korea are entirely of their own doing.

I don't know what any of those tracks are, does that mean I can't post to Slashdot anymore?

Cycling's not much exercise anyway, so you may as well use the segway and save getting sweaty.
McDonalds gets a lot of customers. Windows has a lot of users. Lots of people went to watch War of the Worlds.
Popularity is about marketing and dumbing down, not quality.
That doesn't work as the string only pulls when it's taut, so the closer the stone got to your hand the lower the 'gravity' would be, which is the opposite of real gravity.
Actually you don't own game money, it's merely in possession of your character. The game management could just take it away, could you sue them then?
Those have very little or nothing to do with manned space travel.

Who says it's the same people buying it every year?
Sensitivity training = being paid to do nothing. You don't need to force someone to do that.
Remember that juries are full of people too dumb to get out of jury duty, or people so lazy they just don't want to do any work for a few days.

How are you supposed to get better unless you play against people better than you?
