  1. Re:lack of excercise and obesity AND PLASTICS on Testosterone Tumbling in American Males · · Score: 1

    but too much anabolic steroid supplements makes the testicles shrivel or atrophy, however. big beefy muscles today, raisin nuts tomorrow...

    oh?, tests were done in late 80's, late 90's and then recently, for 40 year olds and up obesity has been a growing problem (and diabetes too) just as with other age groups, and decreasing physical activity.

  3. Re:lack of excercise and obesity AND PLASTICS on Testosterone Tumbling in American Males · · Score: 2, Informative

    yup, google estrogen and "nonyphenol" or "bisphenol A" (there's others too) heating in microwave ovens likely increases the dosages, never thought of that until now. crap.

  6. lack of excercise and obesity on Testosterone Tumbling in American Males · · Score: 3, Interesting

    testosterone drops in a body that doesn't excercise (true for male and for the much smaller amount the female has), it drops in an obese body and moreover body fat produces a female-hormone like steroid

    Shakespeare used "hoist with", though: in Hamlet, act III, scene 4, lines 206, 207: "For 'tis sport to have the engineer/ Hoist with his own petard".

    those weren't cloned potatoes, there were four types of potatoes involved, though that is a lack of diversity compared to the number of types available.

    that's funny. Just for more fun, I think the grammar of four hundred years ago when the expression originated would have been "to be hoist from", but I'm not sure.

    you missed a comma between "it" and "steve", grammar nazi.

  13. the US system on IBM's Counterclaim 10 Outlines 5 Ways SCO's Wrong · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Very sad that european courts can deal with utterly absurd claims so very quickly in corporate cases (and have done so for SCO's), while the SCOX vs. IBM and SCOX vs. Novell still drag on even though by the judge's comments it's clear they know the thing is a farce.

  14. Re:Argg... AS/400 mumble... on Impressive GPU Numbers From Folding@Home · · Score: 1

    well, the new ones do by virtual of power pc, but the old cisc as/400 never will, they don't have a memory management unit and IBM won't give out the specs for them. YOu write to a virtual machine on the old critters, not the real processor, which is why the reliability and robustness. Really more like an old 8080 in that there's no memory protection or process protection in the real hardware.

  15. Re:po' ahab's behind: fatima was a chick with a st on Real-Time Computer-Based Translation in Iraq · · Score: 1

    maybe no one finds out. I'm just saying.... but then alot gay guys will do just what alot of straight guys do in how they talk or check out someone or someones body they find interesting. most gay people are obviously so, it's been no suprise nine out of ten times to me or anyone else to learn that certain people among my relatives or in school or work were gay. bi is harder to tell, or guys who prefer transgendered-into-female folk. anyway I was just making a statement about particularly strict arab cultures, certainly not about who can do what for a living. I have similar observations about women in combat who get taken prisoner in arab countries, going to be really bad for them too ('cause Mohammed by their beliefs was cool about raping slaves and enemies' women). I'm not saying women can't be good warriors, just you don't want to get imprisoned being one in certain places.

  16. po' ahab's behind: fatima was a chick with a stick on Real-Time Computer-Based Translation in Iraq · · Score: 1

    even in some strict muslim countries, homosexuality is ok and permitted as long as it stays in the closet. I'm just saying you really, really don't want your translator to be found to be gay. YOur troops may not be safe then.

  17. Re:Solution on Does Your Employer Still Use SSNs? · · Score: 1

    or we could have a society in which the government can't id or track people at all. They only check that x number of unique people voted in the last election, maybe by retina scan or whatever. If someone gets arrested they get a temporary tracking which only lasts until conviction or acquittal/release. No income tax in such a world, obviously.

  18. Re:What won't be making it into translations on Real-Time Computer-Based Translation in Iraq · · Score: 1

    If the U.S. military kept its Arabic translators in their ranks instead of firing them based on their sexual orientation

    believe it or not, another part of arab culture is that they will in fact take a very dim view of your using a flaming gay translator to speak to them.

    I for one am glad that I have no social gestures or skills to lose. And I've always been absent-minded anyone because the mundane things of everyday life aren't interesting enough compared to science/engineering things for me to waste much brain effort on them. So, like most slashdotters, if I ever get Alzheimers or other senile affliction no ones even going to notice, the change will be so small.

    the changes in earth's orbit and tilt (and of every other of our planets) are quite predictable, millions of years into the past and into the future. There's no sudden surprise changes short of collision or near miss by massive object.
