I've never seen anyone use that ridiculous contraption. In fact, didn't they disable them ?? For some reason or another, I thought that they were just there was paperweights now.
I'm saying that the article tried to make it out to be that the only geeks who would play Everquest are pimply-faced teenagers. Just because someone is a "professional" does not make them less of a geek.
Here's two excerpts from the article that I'm pointing to:
The findings dismiss the stereotype of a pimple-faced teenager locked in his bedroom.
Instead, today's player is just as likely to be a well-paid professional - male or female - aged in their 40s.
Just doesn't seem like enough to declare Everquest is not just for geeks. *shrug*
I admit, I agree with the article that it's not just "pimply-faced teenagers." However, this does not reconcile the geekiness factor of the players. Last year, I had a CS professor who always talked about playing this game and I have to admit, he was a loser -- great teacher, but loser nonetheless.
Just because a lot of people are taking part doesn't mean it's not just all the geeks. In fact, the world probably has more geeks in it than non-geeks.
"People think genes are an absolute cause of traits. But the notion that the genome is the blueprint for humanity is a very bad metaphor," he says. If you think we're hard-wired and deterministic, there should indeed be a lot more genes."
I admit he's much smarter than me, but couldn't it just mean that each gene carries so much information as to make it deterministic?
Why not #5? It's what I've been doing for the past year and a half. Maybe I worded it wrong.
After training, it is essential that you replace the depleted carbohydrates. Your body is in demand of carbs at this point, so it's a good time to give it what it wants.
It just seems like saying that companies have done it in the past isn't a good argument of why it should be allowed. Just because something is the way it is doesn't make it right or proper even if it is good business practice.
I guess we should just let Microsoft be and buy up all the companies and rights that they want to.
the company behind the Xbox is offering an undisclosed amount of money to id in exchange for the right to make their latest game an Xbox-only title as far as consoles are concerned.
Does this rub anyone the wrong way? It seems like they're trying to buy people out in exchange for control of the market.
Just out of curiosity, aren't all carbo-hydrates sugars?
Yes. I meant to put a "bad" modifier in front of the sugar I was talking about. Here's the way I look at a nutrition label:
Total Carbohydrate (X)g
Dietary Fiber (Y)g
Sugars (Z)g
My rule of thumb is that less than half of the total carbohydrates [Z less than or equal to X/2] should be from the "sugars" category listed on the label. If it's more, then I consider it to be too much of a stress on my body.
It's just a simplified way for me to choose what I indulge in day to day. Easy to remember and use this method and it works for me.
True. I was being just a bit facetious, as you probably could surmise. In any event, I think that any type of project needs the go-to-guy who is going to make decisions. Without it, you get a lot of hee-hawing about what to include, what to take out, etc.
I think people get all bent out of shape about weight loss.
The real key to a healthy lifestyle is your body composition folks! At 5'11", 225 lbs, I'm considered obese according to height/weight and BMI standards, but that doesn't take into account my body fat percentage.
Ask those same people what will happen if you sit around eating twinkies and drinking mountain dew all day while playing everquest nonstop and they will say "you will get fat" but you won't ever hear "you will get skinny" to the less calories + more exercize fact.
It's human nature to choose the easier wrong over the harder right. . .
A lot of people don't realize that resistance training is essential to losing weight -- even more so than regular cardiovascular, aerobic exercise.
I get a lot of funny looks when I mention this (especially from women who want to not bulk up). However, the key ingredient to weight loss is an increase in your resting metabolic rate (how much energy your body consumes on a regular basis). The only true way to do this is to increase your muscle tissue because muscle burns more energy than fat.
Obviously, resistance training is essential to increasing the muscle tissue and resting metabolic rate.

Oh how I miss Screech and the gang!
The college years starring that oaf Bob Golic weren't the same *sigh*

I just wanted to second the notion about FileZilla. I won't use anything else now.
Whenever I played that game, I always wanted to mess up the phrase on purpose, so I guess I DID have a hidden agenda.
Fine. He's a social loser.
After all, he does play Everquest!

I just noticed this, but isn't the "cut" phase supposed to be when you are getting ripped. I think you've got it backwards.
Yes. I understand that. However, after a resistance workout, carbohydrates will be immediately transferred into muscle glycogen.

Because hydrates are still a mysterious substance, there are many scientific and engineering obstacles that could make the process cost prohibitive.

42.
I suppose you've lost your copy of the book, too?42.
For more info go here. Last line of the song says it all.

Sounds kinda totalitarian to me. . .
ha ha ha..
Well, it all depends on genetics and how your body is structured. Some people just weren't meant to be big. . .
I get a lot of funny looks about the no juice thing, but all the carbohydrates in a juice are sugar.
Well, once again, it all depends on your personal story.
I definitely lost nearly 35 pounds by lifting and eating a little less.
The weight training makes the diet cut that much more effective in burning the fat from your body.

Get a copy of Pumping Iron and watch it every day. :)
I think you might even be able to get a shady DVD somewhere on the net. . .
