  1. Yet another whiney rich vs. poor summit... on World Summit On The Internet And IT · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Do you use yahoo.com?

    I have a few yahoo.no addresses that I use actively that get spam maybe once or twice a year. I don't have any kind of "only friends can send mail to me"-setup. I don't even recall setting anything up at all.

    I've heard complaints from people here who used yahoo.com and got a lot of spam; once they went over to yahoo.no the spam pretty much went away.

    No, it doesn't. But it makes life very very difficult for people in Norway who would otherwise benefit from mass e-mail sending. Like the HerbaFraud people. Someone a few months ago was stupid enough to send me a spam from a dot no address to one of my dot no addresses. She was even stupider with her cattiness towards me when I pointed out that she was breaking the law. Nooooo, it wasn't me who signed her up for the Atkins diet (as a 1.60 m / 150 kg woman) and a few other websites where placement of e-mail address equals spam, spam, spam! I don't do things like that! Hah! See how she likes it! Grrrrrr!

    It's kind of like the diet industry. You try the newest hottest spam killer that will guarantee getting rid of all the spam, like trying the newest hottest diet that will guarantee getting rid of all the kilos. You lose the spam like you lose the kilos, and then, after a few months, it all comes back twofold. So you try the next newest hottest spam killer, the next newest hottest diet, blah blah, it comes back threefold. Then you try the next...(ad nauseum)

    The really sad part about this is that Sunde is a self-proclaimed expert in computer crime. I would think any "expert" in computer crime AT THE VERY LEAST would know what an algorithm is. According to information passed on to me from someone who was in audience at the trial opener yesterday, she has learned *nothing* from the mistakes she made last time, and it's almost as if her knowledge (or lack thereof) has digressed. She seems to think that as long as Windows has something or other, that you don't need anything else. (And remember last year she compared Linux users to gang bangers!)

    This is a "save face" case for the prosecutor more than anything else. She was badly shamed during the first trial, having lost the way she did. I sat during part of the trial last year.

  20. Re:What will happen? on Hackers On Atkins · · Score: 0
    Well, doing cardio won't put muscle on you, and in the long run it might actually make you lose muscle mass (there are plenty of great fitness sites on the web that will tell you this). Try pumping some iron combined with high-intensity interval cardio training (for example 30 sec. at 11 km/h + 30 sec. at 15 km/h for 12 minutes on the treadmill). Very effective for getting rid of that extra fat.

    And just a bit of information - I'm over 25 and have no problems packing on the muscle sans roids, and I'm a geekgirl. It's a matter of working out correctly and eating correctly and getting enough rest in between.

  22. Re:What about the dangers? on Hackers On Atkins · · Score: 0

    Here's some information I pulled off one of my bodybuilding groups: Int J Sport Nutr Exerc Metab 2000 Mar;10(1):28-38 (ISSN: 1526-484X) Poortmans JR; Dellalieux O Department of Physiological Chemistry, Institute of Physical Education and Kinesiotherapy, Free University of Brussels, Belgium. Excess protein and amino acid intake have been recognized as hazardous potential implications for kidney function, leading to progressive impairment of this organ. It has been suggested in the literature, without clear evidence, that high protein intake by athletes has no harmful consequences on renal function. This study investigated body-builders (BB) and other well-trained athletes (OA) with high and medium protein intake, respectively, in order to shed light on this issue. The athletes underwent a 7-day nutrition record analysis as well as blood sample and urine collection to determine the potential renal consequences of a high protein intake. The data revealed that despite higher plasma concentration of uric acid and calcium, Group BB had renal clearances of creatinine, urea, and albumin that were within the normal range. The nitrogen balance for both groups became positive when daily protein intake exceeded 1.26 g.kg but there were no correlations between protein intake and creatinine clearance, albumin excretion rate, and calcium excretion rate. To conclude, it appears that protein intake under 2. 8 g.kg does not impair renal function in well-trained athletes as indicated by the measures of renal function used in this study. Z Ernahrungswiss 1995 Mar;34(1):10-5 (ISSN: 0044-264X) Manz F; Remer T; Decher-Spliethoff E; Hohler M; Kersting M; Kunz C; Lausen B Forschungsinstitut fur Kinderernahrung, Dortmund. Bodybuilders often prefer a high protein diet to achieve maximum skeletal muscle hypertrophy. In this study the effect of a high protein diet on renal acid load and renal handling of proton excretion was studied comparing dietary intake and urinary ionograms in 37 male bodybuilders and 20 young male adults. Energy intake (+ 7%), protein intake (128 vs 88 g/d/1.73 m2), and renal net acid excretion (95 vs 64 mmol/d/1.73 m2) were higher in the bodybuilders than in the controls, however, urine-pH was only slightly lower (5.83 vs 6.12). In the bodybuilders renal ammonium excretion was higher at any given value of urine pH than in the controls. In a regression analysis protein intake proved to be an independent factor modulating the ratio between urine-pH and renal ammonium excretion. The concomitant increase of renal net acid excretion and maximum renal acid excretion capacity in periods of high protein intake appears to be a highly effective response of the kidney to a specific food intake leaving a large renal surplus capacity for an additional renal acid load.

    Another thing about fat, simply put, is that you need to eat fat to get rid of fat. If you don't eat enough of it, your body will do all it can to keep the fat that it has. I know people who have broken their dieting plateaus by putting olive oil vinaigrette on their salads.

    Part of the problem is that the people who DO know about the workings of these sorts of things don't educate others on the matter.
