Wowie you are a retard. Test it on myself? No problem. No change after eating a bunch of sugar. Have you seen that 60% of the population that's obese? According to you, they wouldn't be obese. They wouldn't have been able to sit down after drinking their 2L bottle of Coke and would have burned off their excess calories. Children act crazy all of the time. They don't need sugar to do so. Sugar never affected my mood when I was a child and it doesn't now.
Maybe you need to hang out with some children to see how they normally act, without sugar. Well, maybe not, it might not be a good idea to have you near children at all.
Just a point. The effects of sugar don't cause hyperactivity. Energy does not cause hyperactivity. Hyperactivity is a very specific thing and isn't the same as having lots of energy.
Children often are annoying when they have lots of energy. Sugar is energy. Most of the "hyperactive" effects that are presumed to have been seen are due to the parents. There's no scientific evidence for sugar causing anything like hyperactivity.
You may need citation. I don't need citation on things I've seen with my own eyes. That doesn't mean you should believe what I or anyone else on the Internet says. But it means I don't have to provide sources for my own experiences.
Life does not happen by reference. You can write 50 pages on Wikipedia about love or sex, I'd rather spend the evening experiencing it.
Does that mean you are wrong? Absolutely not. But neither am I.
I can answer this; but you've answered the question yourself.
Hyperactivity is NOT the same as food having an effect on you.
Hyperactivity is real. Food is real. But correlation is not causation.
More likely thinking of the adults having to deal with the sugar frenzy, not to mention the throwing up. And I wonder whether allergies and liability also plays a part.
Sugar-hyperactivity is a MYTH. Surprising, I know; but before you react, have a think about it for a while. The same is said to apply to E-numbers. Although some people are allergic to it, hyperactivity is very unusual.
Also, I don't understand the logic of this company, they destroyed Cadbury's in the UK after closing one of their large factories here. Now they want to restrict who can buy their products. If children are out alone, surely they can buy this product elsewhere? I can't imagine any shopkeep refusing a sale because it's a chocolate cake that was "designed for adults".
Another vote for Linode here. Their customer service is astounding!
If you're looking for something cheap and crap, but with a lot more space - then Kimsufi do great deals too; but it is via OVH.
My smart phone paid for itself the afternoon I accidentally misconfigured the firewall on the company's ecommerce server (which is in a colo several hours drive from me). Misconfigured as in blocked my own IP address instead of whitelisting it. I was able to download a SSH client, open a terminal session and revert the firewall settings from my phone.
Agreed. For many people, perhaps a dumbed-down phone would save them money. However, for me, for example, the amount of time I save in being able to access email, corporate systems etc., whilst on the move means that the cost and added complexity of a smartphone is more than worth the it.
I'd agree, but even my basic Sony Ericsson W890i can do email perfectly well, and I'm able to use SSH too. It's easy to type on since I've used it for so long, and the battery life of three days is just unheard of now. Sure it can't manage VPN or webpages too well, but email, checking sites are up and SSH, and most other basic tasks are possible.
If you need that sort of functionality at random points, sure it's useful to have a smartphone. But a lot of the basic tasks are easier and quicker on a 'dumb' phone, and it's sometimes useful to *not* be able to do everything from everywhere. Having said that, I often carry a smartphone in my bag if I feel it might be useful, and for longer journeys, tether my W890i to a Netbook. Plus I don't have to worry about losing it - or more importantly, battery life.
I don't go to my high school reunions because the people who are for the most part people I am not interested in meeting again. I went to the first couple and none of the people I had any interest in seeing were there, so I stopped going.
Probably like many/.ers, I can be very socially awkward and being able to have a few prompts to know what a reunion or social gathering may be like can be really helpful.
Facebook probably has meant I've been more able to enjoy being social when I might otherwise feel uncomfortable.
You seem to have missed, "Why the fuck is that patentable?" attached to that line of questioning. It's patented in America; quod erat demonstrandum.
Clearly reading comprehension is not your strong suit. We, too, question why you're on this site, because it's certainly not to add value.
Maybe, but even if you think all software patents should not be legally binding, this is a particularly frivolous suit from a UK company, ergo a "WTF BT" is more appropriate than than a comment on the US legal system.
Which is relevant to this discussion only tangentially, you ignorant buffoon. The litigious environment being lamented is facilitated entirely by the American patent system.
Whatever your opinions of software patents, this is a blatant misuse of those laws and a obviously frivolous case. That's means it is a fault with the company suing; and not entirely the legal system.
I don't understand why the article says this "brings it in line with the EU and UK" - since there's no laws that I know of in the UK that ban photoshop, only that an appropriate tiny message need to be there.
Please tell me why "conservatives" can seldom use a homophone properly? The lack of basic literacy skills says a lot about why the tea party, Rush Limbaugh, and Newt Gingrich are popular.
Hate to say this, but on/., at least, inability to use homophones properly seems to be spread across the political and social spectrum pretty uniformly.
Homo-phones? Maybe he's scared of Telephone HIV, and that it can lead on to Hearing Aids.
If you're allowed to use a calculator everytime you had to do a simple addition problem like 5 + 5 in grade school then I doubt you'd be very good at doing simple calculations in the future. Some things are good to internalize, it forces you to understand it instead of just being able to look it up without thought.
I'd hope most teaching staff would spot that. You probably wouldn't be able to succeed at doing the test in the allotted time, either.
I've got no problem with ANPR or CCTV in general, especially if it's used to stop users not paying car tax or having fake MoTs...
but what are the rules? Who can access this data? Is there any chance of misuse?
The article implies yes; there aren't stringent controls, and more should be done. In the UK - does anyone know?
The same applies to accessing mobile phone location data. No-one knows what security this information is kept under and who has access to it, and what the procedures are; nor what controls the employees are put under, nor what logging is done.
Is it the same in the case of DVLA and registration numbers; where it's just down to if you can afford to pay for the data?
Honestly, that's the main reason.
Sure I can make the Winkey make the menu appear; but learning all those new shortcuts? What happened to being able to customize?
Before the Slashdot crowd starts getting all fired up about history repeating itself, how Microsoft is the Great Satan, blah blah blah, let me be the first to ask, right now, in 2011:
Why does this really matter anymore?
You're right; I'm not convinced it does matter. Previously, the biggest problem was that many (generally, poorly written - or Microsoft) applications would open HTTP links with Internet Explorer, leaving users liable to exploits.
I haven't seen this happen for a long time - and there's plenty of applications which require a rendering engine (be it IE, Webkit, or XUL, etc). Would the only alternative to keep these fools happy be for Microsoft to provide two versions of the rendering engine, one for Internet sites and one for Metro and other apps? Ridiculous.
I have an Apple Magic Mouse (and a Wacom tablet) and while at first it was a bit hard to get used to and the high sensitivity of its touchpad is an issue with some games it does have its advantages, it just takes a while getting used to.
You don't play games more complicated than solitaire, do you? Otherwise you wouldn't have mentioned a touchpad in context of gaming...
What about Dawn of War, Command & Conquer, etc... hell, even I've played Battlefield on a trackpad (when desperate), and it's surprisingly not that bad; if you put up with the weirdness of it for a few minutes.
It's not PHP that's the problem here, it's the specific software package phpMyAdmin. It's software that should never be deployed on an Internet-facing computer because of its security problems: about a third of the malicious traffic on my webserver is people probing for phpMyAdmin installations.
This. phpMyAdmin has security problems. However, this was likely an authentication breach.
It doesn't matter that what software they use; the fact they have complete database management online, makes it a lot easier for user details to be taken.

Lets see, click a thumbnail, got to the third party server, which does whatever the hell it wants to with your request. Welcome to the intertubes.
I also fail to see why this is a problem.
You can set the thumbnail with the "link rel='image_src'" tags!
