Call me a bit paranoid, if you will. But for all those "AC Trolls" my guess will be that if you are logged in, but checking the "Post as AC" box you will be known as AC to the world but Slashdot will know exactly who the AC was. If not logged in at all, I would think that they are logging hardware adresses and IPs.
The reason they work is not beacause there's some sort of cool hack involved, but because you're almost certainly eating less calories.
Well, to use your term to your post I say "bullocks". If you've read Atkins' book, you'd know that it is a qualitative, not a quantitative diet. That is to say, you can eat as much of the permitted foods on the diet you are allowed and none of NONE of the baned foods and you will lose weight. It's all a matter of regulating the blood's insulin levels *NOT* regulating calories.
In my own personal experience calorie regulated diets do NOT work, but carb-regulated diets like Atkins certainly do. Your body stores carbohydrates in your bloodstream and in your muscles. When you deplete your body's store of carbs by restricting yourself to 20gm of carb per day (ridiculously low!) during what is known as the "induction diet" (this phase is only meant to last about two weeks) you are depleting that store of carbohydrates so that your body will turn to the next logical source of energy which is fat. And since and Atkins dieter will typically be taking in more protein than most other diets one is less likely to suffer the deterioration of muscle tissue that is likely to occur under calorie restricted diets. You can literally eat yourself SILLY of the permitted foods and still lose weight on Atkins, which is why your claims that there is calorie restriction to blame for the weightloss is ludicrous! Without going into exhausitve detail, I can say that I may eat a plate of 20 or so chicken wings with bleue cheese dressing and top it off with a bowl full of whipped cream for desert (very low in carbs, but not in calories!) every noght and I will lose weight!
The only drawback to the diet that the good doctor acknowledges is that the diet as designed is typically lacking in many of the essential vitamins and minerals that you get from eating fruits and vegetables while not on the diet. For that he recommends using a dietary suppliment. But restricted calories? Dude, seriousely. Read the book.
The Bush administration has as much control over the domestic media as the Chinese do, they're just better at not letting censorship become an issue.
Your mind is as corrupted by a polarized world view as many of the Americans you decry. People, blinded by ideology (that is either popular or runs against the grain) calling themselves "free", you see it all the time. It is a cliche. Ironically, many of the patrons of this store in New York City - called Revolution Books - would likely agree with you because they are similarly mislead and ill informed.The store does not even have a website because they are luddite leftists; mistrustful of technology. But, they are affiliated with an organization that is online: The Revolutionary Worker. Both organizations owe their ability to disseminate the leftist view to liberties that are essential to American life.
Actually, let me restate something I've said earlier in this post. Most patrons of this store are quite informed and passionate about learning from alternative news sources. But what many of them fail to realize is that a Barnes and Noble sized store that serves as a clearing house for alternative information could NEVER repeat NEVER exist in a country like China.
I am not "Ra Ra" president B0sh or our government. What I think is precious, sacred and unique to the Earth are the foundations of our culture which holds freedom of the individual as a virtue. THAT is why stores like Revolution Books don't have armed gunman storming in, shooting the proprietors and patrons and shutting its doors.
A fews years ago, a few friends and I decided to mark this occasion in what we thought was a pretty interesting manner. We, being native Jerseyites, took a trip out to the location where the "meteor" (sparking the invasion and spooking the local population) originally impacted - Browns Mills, NJ - and making some of our own "crop circles". We were drunk and not very skilled at this endeavor, but the end result turned out pretty nicely we thought. We kept at it while too and make them farily large and noticable. We did this in the dead of night, and whether or not the farmer in question caught the meaning of what we did, I'm fairly certain we gave him something to scratch his head over and ponder the next morning.
In related news, the 2.48 version of apache was also released. Was this a slashdot moment, as well? Did I miss a memo? I'm assuming I have. I recently read the O'Reilly book on this topic and two things seemed clear. 1) That the authors of the book really preferred the 1.3.x series of httpd to the 2.x series and that 2) BSD is the way to be for Apache (though Linux is an "okay" substitute.) Which really surprised me because threading in Linux is better than BSD.
So my questions are: If they are updating the 2.x series why are they *also* updating the 1.3.x series? Isn't the idea that 2.x will supplant/replace the earlier series? What do you get out of using the older version that you don't with the newer? Other than the ability to work with a tool that's more familiar to you becasue you've been using it for so long...Wouldn't the technological advantages of using the newer version outwiegh the inconvenience of yet another learning curve?
More to the point, there is no Starship Enterprise, freak.
Yet! I have seen the historical records of the future! Bear in mind we're only in the 21st century, bub! PATIENCE, my lad! And the early part of the 21st century at that! Why, we've only just gotten past the Eugenics Wars and we have another World War to get through sometime in the mid-21st century! We still have issues of crime, hunger poverty and economic plenty for all! You can't build one of these beauties over night, y'know!;P
Without any doubt in my mind, the most evil form of spyware I am personally aware of is the infamous insidious Gator. Booo, hisss!!!! I am sure there are others, but I'm sure of this: there is a special place in hell for these folks.
...sigh. Okay, I keed I keed and I know I'm going to get modded down for posting some actual spam I found in my inbox. But I have actually heard of this problem before. I wish it would just go away along with the majority of our obsessivly consumerist culture. But thank god, though I have seen some folks accuse Slashdot of being in bed with some of the product manufacturers it features in its stories (an accusation I don't actually subscribe to), I have NEVER seen blatant spam (that wasn't a blatant troll) mixed in with the blogging on this site. Could it be that the lameness filters are admirably effective in blocking this sort of content? Or have, I wonder, the spammers not figured out how to interface with Slashdot as of yet? Repeat: yet?
We all swear we'll go back and complete [games] but the sad reality is most of us will - most likely - never get around to resuming our valiant quest to conquer these epics...For the majority of gamers, squeezing in the time to play games means - pretty much - not spending much time doing anything else in our leisure time...
Yeesh, what a spoiled, whiny brat! So, you don't finish a game? Don't do anything else with your free time, but play a game because it's long? Who's fault is that? Because you have a short attention span and can't manage your time effectively you want the game designers to change the way they make the games that I'm playing? Why stop there? You could just as easily say "You see, I really liked Snow Crash, but lately that crazy Neil Stephenson's books are so darn long! He should write shorter ones!" Please.
Here's a word for you: moderation! (and not the/. kind!) Don't break open the piggy bank for a new game just because the graphics are flashy and the advertising has brainwashed you into believing this is a game that you "can't live without!"
Personally speaking, I play a game...ONE game and that's it, until I'm through with it. Right now, I am really enjoying KOTOR and it's precisely because of it's length, depth and complexity that I am! I've never finished playing a number of games, but at least I'm not blaming other people for my lack of follow through! When every thing else in our culture is being dumbed down for shorter and shorter attention spans, it's a huge relief to see a segment of the electronic entertainment industry that's *NOT* trying to do this! And if games are long or short whatever they end up being will be because that's the way consumers are voting with their dollars!
I've always been sort of intrigued by,a href="http://www.top500.org/">Top500. Has there ever been a good comparison written about the similarities/differences between a 'supercomputer' and the lowly pc sitting on my desk running Linux/XP? At what point does the computer in question earn the title "Super"?
The only flight sim I know that is free (as in beer) and penguin compatible is something called "FlightGear". It seems pretty cool, but I hear it's not quite up to X-Plane standards, which I believe to be neither free (as in beer) nor Linux friendly. I wonder what is available, besides FlightGear, for the open source crowd?
You can purchase new music using the unit's built-in LCD display and hear it 'instantly'. No PC required.
It's always amazed me how high tech gadgets are marketed as being "not computers" when that's exactly what they are! Things like the "Earthlink Mailstation" that allows you to "check your e-mail without a computer". I'm pretty sure I've even seen advertizing for TiVo claiming that it wasn't a "computer". Amazingly, Joe Blow consumers seem to not even think of gamingconsoles as computing devices! I realize that this is done so as not to scare away the technilogically illiterate, but I still reserve the right to incredulity every time these claims are made! Seriously, without computing technology how do people think these things work? Little men with pointy shoes and long beards reaching to their knees inside the case?

Not sure if it's quite up to Maya's strospheric standards, but Blender 3D is a Free (as in beer) modeling and rendering tool that stacks up pretty well against the competition.
Another really nice aspect of Blender (aside from having the sources) is that you have a wider selection of platform choices than Maya ever likely will.Win32, MacOS X, Linux, LinuxPPC, FreeBSD, Solaris, and NetBSD. Bet THAT!
The Maya Personal Learning Edition is for Mac OS(R) X and Microsoft(R) Windows(R) 2000 Professional and Windows XP operating systems and is available with online documentation. Japanese online documentation can be obtained at the Alias Japan web site, www.alias.co.jp/mayaple.
What I want to know is, can you save your work? I'm assuming that was what the watermark was for - to hobble the app just enough to make you shell out for the full version. And I'm assuming that the watermark is now gone which is what makes this such a big deal...Bummer it doesn't appear to be available for Linux.
Pop that sucker open (unplug first!) and there should be a little black button on the lower front of the logic board. "Reset pmu" will be printed on the board somewhere near the button. Push it for one second and only press it once. Let the box sit for roughly 5 minutes unplugged and then turn it on.
That sounds like the procedure we used to do on the old pre-blue-n-white PPC macs. Is this 'PMU' button another name for the CUDA button? I haven't seen a mac motherboard in a while. Even the most knowledgable mac guy I've ever known couldn't tell me what CUDA stood for, however. Generally I've known that this is a good idea to do after installing new ram and whatnot, but I am a little unclear about the function of the CUDA button. Except that I've heard it described as a "deep pram zap".
