    That's a US-based advertising issue. I NEVER saw those comments on the Swedish and German versions of the pages, becuase you're not blatantly state incorrect facts ... for example, the US-based I'm and Mac and I'm a PC adverts aren't legal in Germany/Sweden (I saw them while watching illegal NFL feeds and my German/Swedish colleagues laughed at what can be advertised in the US).

    yeah, it would take one brain cell (and a weak one at that) to know the difference ... and I say this as a long-time mac OS user.

    I'm in reasonable shape ... i did a 50-mile ride the other day at a reasonable speed and I ride a mountain-bike with the all-terrain tires on the street because i'm not changing them until i get my money's worth out of them (i.e. no tread left).

    305Mb/s ... i doubt it.

    I have 16/1 service (+tele +mobile phone) for 20€/mo and most of the time it maxes out at 12-15Mb/s and 800Kb/s.

    Not only will you probably never be near 300Mb/s, you'll probably pay huge amounts/mo as well

    you must never open word documents with embedded graphics or excel workbooks with scripts/coding or general mathematical calculations (in multiple languages where the "," versus "." for placeholders is a big deal.)

    the real thing holding back Linux is games?

    how about the fact that opening MS Office docs on Linux with one of the many "Open Office" solutions is still a nightmare?

    it's not funny, the amount of kcal burned is proportional to the weight of the cyclist (assuming that the cyclist weight >>> bike weight). of course, i'll burn less calories when i'm moving 25kg less weight (and good "kcal burnt" calculators take this into account.)

    to be honest, if you weight100kg, it's probably quite accurate. I weigh roughly 72-75kg, which accounts for the difference.

    Those are notoriously over generous with kcal burned. I do "only" 25k/day round-trip and personally (on a knobby-tired MTB at 25km/h), I'd be surprised if it was more than 500kcal total.

  22. work time is not 24h/day. on Ask Slashdot - Careers In Computer Science That Keep You Physically Active? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Bicycle commuting to work can burn 400-700 kcal/day.

    I have a colleague that refuses to schedule a meeting between 11a-noon and he runs a 10k and showers during that time.

    After work hobbies can be useful too, you may even meet other people also.

    You don't need to be "on your feet" at work ... just at some point during the day.
