  1. Nice to see on Companies Claim iTMS, iPod Patent Infringement · · Score: 1

    It's nice to watch when the industry have to swallow it's own shit.

  2. Short answer to this thread on Staying Healthy When Working 12 Hours a Day? · · Score: 1

    This isn't directly to you (BoomerSooner) but the thread goes on and on about diabetics.

    Forget about sugar and 2000 kcal (not 2.000 cal, 2.000.000 cal). No matter what if sugar is the cause or not you should avoid it since it has no nutritional value, go for real food and then the good less processed one.

    What kind of workout are those 45minutes? I go to the gym 3-5/6 times a week and I probably need around 4000 kcal/day to still gain weight anything from it, if I would go down to 3000 and more so 2000 I would lose weight.

    The short answers are:
    * Walking before breakfast will burn most (in percent) fat.

    * High intensity interval cardio will give you the best condition and make your metabolism even more suitable for gaining muscle fat and staying lean. Go for around 20 minutes and preferably 30 seconds intervalls their you take it to the max for 30 seconds, easier for 30, repeat.

    * Weight lifting will add more muscle mass which later on requires more energy, also it raises your metabolism when your are not in the gym quite a bit. Go for heavy multiple joint exercises and a quite high tempo. Squat, deadlift, rowing and so on will help you a lot more than concentration curls.

    Remove crap food: Stuff with lots of raffined sugars, processed white flour, raffined oils, animal fats, hydrogene* veg. fats (don't know the word in english). Eat more of ray bread, beans, lentils, greens, vegetables, fruits, oat porridge, nuts, whatever is high on protein, fish or fish oil, flaxseed oils if you are vegetarian or don't want fish oil, other vegetable oils high in omega-3 fat acids and low in omega-6 (or atleast not 200 times more omega-6 than omega-3). It's not that hard actually.
    Soft drinks which contains sugar, ice cream, cookies, candy and so on doesn't have to be added in there since all people already know they shouldn't. Also you could skip juice and get water and a real fruit instead.

    Regarding diabetes, getting fat, and so on, aslong as you burn the calories you can eat them, so talking about 2000 kcals are of no value, if you work out a lot eat your 5000-6000 kcals :)

    That depends on how you train, if you use mostly compound exercised you don't have to do that many. And if you consider avoiding going to failure it's not a big deal. However with just three days in a row and then four days work i would go for failure since it's so much rest anyway. Just put legs on the last day :)

  4. Re:Slower? Says who? You? on Intel 6xx Series Reviewed and Benchmarked · · Score: 1

    I think you compare the wrong cpus. My friend also bought a k6-2 but I think most other people might still have been considering Pentium MMX, atleast that was the cpus we where comparing. I think the k6 was better in floating point performance and intel on real numbers, might have been the other way around. Anyway, back when @ ~200MHz the PII and even less the Celeron wasn't considered. Also the celeron was a nice cpu due to it's overclockability and much cheaper price due to the smaller cache memory size, nowadays it doesn't hold up that great.

    Even if Linux as in the kernel could do that there wouldn't be a distribution covering them all.

  14. Re:I love this shit on Cracking iTunes' DRM with JHymn · · Score: 1

    I've thought about that one, especially when the PSP arrived and where going to use AES encryption. I suppose you could even encrypt each copy of the software for each piece of hardware. On the other hand as long as the hardware can reach it you can probably decrypt it with the hardware and encrypt it again for another device. Or? What if the keys are in the chips and the software is "streamingly" decrypted when needed?

    Say my computer used my GPG-key, you made a piece of software and downloaded my public key, encrypted your software for me and sent it. (But I can still decrypt it and encrypt it for another person, but aren't there any way to make that part "impossible" or atleast to hard?)

  16. Radeon 9200 sucks for a $14000 computer on Price Drops For Mac mini Upgrades · · Score: 1

    Really I don't see why people complain about the memory issue, you can always do it yourself.

    However you can't upgrade the graphics and the Radeon 9200SE 32MB isn't all that great and for the price of the complete machine it sucks big time.

    That's what's holding me back the most.

  17. Please help with what is needed. on Price Drops For Mac mini Upgrades · · Score: 1

    So the mac mini is 4700 sek @ 1.25GHz, 256MB ram and 40GB HDD. An 1000 sek upgrade to something more hot might be worth it but then all my programs would be on a slow harddrive so getting an external faster one might be a better choice. So what is needed?

    * DVD-R option, since I don't want an external to and a drive + case would cost as much anyway.

    * 512MB ram, either new stick and sell/get rid of the old 256MB or upgrade.

    * Apple keyboard and mouse.

    * USB soundcard, I want digital output and microphone support. But which ones work with the mac?

    Also I don't know if I really want to spend almost 10.000 sek on something which comes with a crappy Radeon 9200 SE 32MB. Such a stupid choice.
    For the same price (add TFT-monitor) you could get an iMac but then you would have to add some things again since the default configuration sucks, and you are still stuck with the HDD (I suppose) and the crappy Graphics.
    Who do all macs have to have crappy graphics, same prices for years and expensive addons? Can't the first "price hit" be enough?

    On the second hand I have no money, but I don't want this x86 crap either.

    I don't think the ogg video format is done.

    Quicktime, DivX, XviD and RealPlayer all requires downloads, XviD is probably the least(?) pain the in ass and works on all OSes so use that.

    Either force people to actually get the codec (it's not that hard...) or just post both WMV and XVID versions of the video. No harder than that.

  19. Of course depends on the reason. on Which BSD for an Experienced Linux User? · · Score: 1

    FreeBSD would probably give you no problems at all. However if you just want something more innovative and it doesn't matter that much if some things might be broken go with DragonFly, but it will probably be a more enjoyable ride when they are closer to their goals.

    If you have any intrest in the actually code in any way and/or don't need nvidias own binary drivers go with NetBSD.

    Stay of OpenBSD. OpenBSD might have it's place in some cases but not on your desktop or even a server if it isn't for some special reason.

    I personally would go with NetBSD and wait for DragonFly to evolve.
