  1. Re:That's great and all... on The Rise of Nanofoods · · Score: 1

    Actually I'm not obese at all. Before I started working out, I weighed 240, and had very little body fat. As cartmanish as it sounds, I have a huge frame. When I was 18, I had mono and dropped to 190 and looked gaunt.

    Oh, for sure, don't get me wrong, I do enjoy getting drunk at times as well, but that's not limited to beer either.

    My point is, I like beer for the taste. The alcohol is added benefit.

    For the record, pretty sure chocolate affected your mind the first time you ate it, so how could you have liked it before that?

    Is it really that hard for you to understand that just because you don't like something, doesn't mean that everyone else who likes that thing, likes it solely for it's psychoactive properties

    Hey, I've got some non-alcoholic beer that's indistinguishable in blind taste tests from your favorite regular beer and costs half as much. Wanna buy some? Didn't think so.

    If it tastes the same, and doesn't cost alcohol tax price, then sure.

    I. LIKE. THE. TASTE. OF. BEER.

    I make my own beer so that I can experiment with flavours and styles.

    You are completely, 100%, wrong. Ignorance is bliss after all. If I drank beer to get high, then having a pint would be pointless. I'm 6'5" 280lbs. One beer does absolutely nothing in terms of intoxication, but damn do I love the taste of beer. It *IS* an acquired taste though, and yes, to start, I didn't like the taste, now, I prefer it to any soft drink. "a psychoactive substance that would otherwise get banned." Do you drink coffee? Eat chocolate? http://www.cracked.com/article_16178_7-common-foods-that-can-actually-get-you-high.html Either ignorant poster is ignorant, or obvious troll is obvious.

    It's who the others are that concerns me. When I joined facebook years ago, it was a great tool to connect with friends that live in the city I previously lived in. These are people I genuinely want to stay in contact with and know how they are doing, but I am not a phone type of person. I don't like talking on the phone, so this was a great way to stay in contact. Everything in my profile at that time was shared *only* with these people. As time has passed and Facebook changed it's TOS, more of my stuff has become available to the entire internet. This is not what I want.

    See, I'm posting this from ubuntu right now.

  19. Re:This seems abrupt on Windows 7 To Skip Straight To a Release Candidate · · Score: 1

    I have tried it, and considering that I installed it for DX10 Age of Conan (which didn't end up shipping with DX10) I must say that overall I was unimpressed with vista. Several things became more annoying, my system became much slower (C2D @2.8, 4GB ram, 9800...so not an old machine) and in general, it felt like a move backward. Now, I've installed the 7 beta, and I noticed a frame rate increase over vista, and the shitty parts of UAC have been fixed. Yes, Vista really did suck, it still does. 7 is looking better, even if it really is just Sp2, it's a good SP2.
