    "Perhaps the judge might have ruled differently had he been shown January 1994 correspondence between Tim Berners-Lee, Pei Wei, Dave Raggett, and others"

    Then why-the-hell was this not presented at the case? If it can be conjoured up short-hand on /. the lawyers are damn incompetant for not making up a good enough reason for it to be presented in the case.

    Sorry, agreed too much info can overpower in technicalities ;)

    To quote from Arnie no less (!!), listen to your body and if you feel pain, are overly tired or you feel you are not making progress you are probably not doing what is best; so investigate, find the cause and correct it.

    It is not a tautology... I suggest you read up in your pre-med 101 physiology textbooks. You WILL NOT get diabetes unless you are pre-disposed to it, those who are not pre-disposed can eat insane quantities of suger and alchohol and never suffer (from diabetes, though there are a host of other bad effects).

    OK, this is OT by now and I didn't post the original remark, but why do you have the username of a princess but claim to have a penis?

    Sensible advice. But even 5 times 45 minutes workout can be bad if you do the wrong workout. I recommend one you have trained a muscle group not to train it for the following 2 days.

    For example: If you did pushing exercises (bench press, push up, dips) on Monday, don't do that same exercise for Tues or Wed. Same goes that if you train pulling (pullup, rows, barbell curl) on Wed don't do it on Thurs or Fri and if you did your legs (squat, deadlift, lunges) on Friday don't do it again over the weekend.

    This is because the muscle needs a couple days to regenerate and regrow (and not become damaged).

    complex carbs != sugar

    brown bread is no where like a cola or lemonade. Sugar ingestion triggers diabetes in those predisposed to it. Complex carbs do not trigger to these people. Oh, and those not pre-disposed to diabetes will never have it.

    I think that is the point... the Atkins diet has been around since the 70s yes... it has been incredibly popular over the past 2 years yes... but no long term studies investigating the increased strain low carbs put on the body. Yes this is theoretical conjuncture but as no long term practical studies have been carried out I'll stick to my varied diet, not too many calories and regular exercise, I feel great and I know the long term benefits are positive.

    I also have no bad breath, no constupation, good skin condition and no bags under my eyes - typical symptoms (and if you don't have them then good for you) of low-carb (and hence low fibre) diets.

    Surely that is even worse... conforming to the orthodox methodology rater than carrying out an independent investigation (quenching the consumers bait for blood rather than educating it)...

    My XP1900+ (not overclocked) is at 65C at the moment under a low load. Under a high load it will not peak little over 70C... it has a copper heatsink inside a case with motherboard temp around 30C. No problems at all with any components (HDs are around 20C being in the coolest place).

    I have no problems with a CPU up to 75C and expect 85C will be boarderline but on the OK side.

    I do not understand your grammar. Do you mean their instead of there? And why "'s" BIOS... that is crazy.

    If you work in IT I have no doubt why bugs/errors/exploits occur. Proper command of semantics is important. If you cannot manage your native tongue what can you manage?

    I agree.

    Of all I dislike about product activation... the efforts SYmantec engineers have gone to... "As of last night, our engineers were able to reproduce the problem on one type of machine," said Del Smith, senior product manager for Symantec. "This really has been a top priority for our product activation development team."... is hardly representative on the story blurb.

    A pen and a piece of paper is an very flexible input-storage medium. I can write ~60wpm and can type ~65 wpm. But there is lag associated with typing - you need a keyboard and a display so have to walk over to it meaning it is only useful for longer stretches on inputting.

    Also, technical writing is easier with pen and paper, as is ad-hoc illustration (scribbling arrows across lines to create cross references - something word processors even today lack is the ability to quickly cross reference text.
