Well, it's not as simple as you describe either. Depending on how many calories are consumed, it might take a significant decrease in intake before metabolism would show a meaningful drop. They mentioned obesity and no change in diet, so it would be safe to assume that the diets weren't optimized. More importantly, eating different types of foods can have a dramatic effect before the total number of calories are even changed. As excercise can increase metabolic rate, the takeaway from this is obvious:
Once again, effective weight management involves paying attention to both diet (amount and type of foods) and excercise. There is no quick fix. Positive effects from changes may be small but cumulative.
I hope they continue to allow the explicit paypal.com visit. Otherwise I forsee bailing out of a number of transactions due to the sketchiness of giving free access to your bank account to some random site.
That seems to be much more believable than the article's premise. Zombies(/demons/monsters) and Nazis have been a staple of shooting games for years - it's useful to have a target that no one feels empathy for. That works well in movies too, where the protagonists face many enemies for which no one will mourn when they are taken down.
Perhaps zombies have become more popular lately perhaps because the concept has gained more momentum - good movies (and games and books) attract an audience, which shows others that there's money to be made with a product in the same genre.
Note that postal mail uses the same strategy - you note the name first, then the address. While the post office looks at the last line first for the zip code, the sender likely thinks of the name first. Also, consider that name.com and name.org may be both refer to similar concepts, while com.name1 and com.name2 may be completely unrelated.
Of course, if TLDs were strict about location and content type it would indeed make more sense to be in the order you describe.
So you're suggesting everyone running a web or ftp server needs to also run a DNS server to serve that SRV info? Support for ports makes for a flexible system, because not everyone runs a commercial web server with the standard configuration. I have found using nonstandard and nonpublished ports to be quite useful, and your suggestion cannot accommodate that.
That looks almost exactly like The Ultimate Boot CD with the addition of a few pirated programs. I suggest having a copy of UBCD around - it's handy, free, and easy to obtain.
I took a feminist stance in public
That is probably the problem. Equality should be the aim point, not pursuit of a feminist agenda. Sexism swings both ways, feminism is BAD for women when it degrades into male-bashing and turns people off of the idea of promoting equality.
And shortly after this thread, we see this article regarding astroturfing. So I would suspect that they retailer is NOT free to create positive reviews of the product even if they are allowed to filter the negative ones. The OP suggested that the product is so bad that there might not have been any positive reviews by actual customers.
It seems we get a question every few months in the same vein... the mythical 'Ask Slashdot FAQ' should include a section about how long life for electronics was just a passing fad of decades past, and not something offered anymore.
So nobody else noticed that neither the blurb nor the article ever make any connection between texting and an actual crash having occured? They mention the percentage of crashes caused by distracted drivers, but they never even try to make a case that texting is a measurable percentage of those crashes.
Don't get me wrong, I don't want zombie drivers texting. I just prefer that an actual case be made, rather than just using vacuous hype to rally rabid opponents of TWD.
I can write in print far faster and more legibly than in cursive. When I took the SAT a bit over a decade ago, you had to write a paragraph in cursive to prove you were the stated person - that was by far the hardest part of the test. I hadn't written in cursive for years and couldn't remember how to make all of the capital letters.
While anyone skilled in cursive may be able to write faster for a long piece like an essay, the frequency of needing that skill is low and decreasing. For me, the time spent to relearn how to write in cursive is likely to be greater than any time saved in writing for the rest of my life.
The term "cracker" is used in within the community to refer to a malicious hacker or a penetration hacker. It hasn't really gained any ground in the public eye, so it's really much more productive to insist on "malicious hacker" which is actually quite clear when you are specifically using the term to mean that they are malicious.
Another problem with the "cracker" term is that it can also refer to encryption cracking.
Perhaps it would be prudent to have a hooker take care of the BJ. Even for those in this audience that swing that way, it's probably difficult to keep control of the gun while doing that.
Finally. Instead of me having to thumb in a message, my toilet can automatically broadcast how long I spent on the can and other vital information every time I have to go.
how many bites in a terabyte
Bytes (or perhaps bits if that's what you meant). Unless you're thinking something along the lines of how many licks to the center of a Tootsie-Pop.:)
Don't forget to install the oldbar plugin that makes the "awesomebar" operate like FF2. Absolutely the most important FF3 plugin besides NoScript (if it annoys you as much as it annoys me).
Not including the option to disable the awesomebar is a serious oversight.
Apparently, it can go both ways depending on how intact the gender-affecting part of the Y chromosome is, as seen here.
However, it's odd that the IIAF doesn't just test for the more common cases of XY and XX, and deal with the anomaly case if needed. That would have already been a whole lot more accurate than a physical inspection.
helping people recover from a dangerous psychological disorder
If this were a well-recognized disorder, wouldn't it be desireable for the proprietors have well-recognized and relevant credentials for helping with that disorder? The way this spins, it seems that they are focussing on one particular outlet of a dangerous disorder. However, it also seems like amateurs trying to help themselves to money from weak-minded individuals (they'll be professionals at that if they succeed here).
The money would be better spent backpacking through Europe.
Or, "We have always been at war with Iraq". Well, at least for kids entering first grade (and a bit older before you find one that can actually remember the start of the war).
While it's not that hard to take a drive apart with the right tools, doing so and then sanding the platters would take a LOT more effort than this machine. It's just a lever pull, which you can relegate even to employees who haven't mastered the finer motor control for using a screwdriver.

Already happened. While the defense didn't quite work, it did raise some alarms.

Any one else notice the irony of entering such a phrase and following it with proprietary information?

PETA-bit would be much better PETA's poorly chosen blog name. Seriously, what is wrong with those people?
That was my first though too. I hadn't considered clothing modification "hardware hacking" so I had to read a bit further.
