    And this study basically just touches on digestive efficiency.

    Ironically, skinny people probably have less efficient digestive systems.

    You do realize that the calories out part of calorie counting depends massively on your metabolism+exercise, right?

    Wow. Just Wow.

    Let me guess. You think:

    burning off 1000 calories by running >> burning off 1000 calories by walking.

    I always ask my wife (a dietitian) how many calories I release as waste.

    All {calorie in minus calorie out} calculations completely ignore calories in your waste.

    But the idea of having my television connected to the internet and do all kinds of 'extras' apart from just displaying images, always seemed like a terrible idea.

    Replace television with computer.

    And 'run programs that I don't fully know the source code' with 'extras'.

    Other than heart rate, which I only care about when working out so could be integrated into headphones, what does it provide that I don't get with my gps enabled phone?

    Hey Mr. Enterprise CFO,
    How would you like to lower your insurance bill by tracking how unhealthy your employees are?

    There is another bit player in the field. Don't pretend like it's any more than that.

    Apple Pay has been out for a week. It's done more business than Google Wallet did in, what, 3 years? How many banks signed on to Google Wallet vs Apple Pay?

    Guess you couldn't interpret 'can you round it up to 1%' as no you cant.

    People in enterprise always forget how many people work outside of enterprise.
    ~Half the country works in a company of less than 500 people. And that the number of companies greater than 500 people is only about 0.5% of all companies out there. How many Core installs do you think are in the 99.5% of companies, made up of less than 500 people? Is it even non-zero?

    And I never said it has no value, just that it's not a significant deterrent.

    Well, PowerShell comes with the OS in Win8, W2k12, so a lot less rare than Core installs.

  19. Re:The unclassified network? on Hackers Breach White House Network · · Score: 2

    No, what you should be worried about is that the classified is the same set of systems as the unclassified, just with a layer of security. And it's the same everywhere, including the national nuclear labs.

    Find a way around the security (like $10M in someone's swiss acct), and these same measures will work on the classified side.

    No, the viruses will have the installer point to their own repos. Probably named similarly. WindowsInstllServer for example

    And how long until all a virus does is point to a different repo & install unmanaged software? Just like android & third party repos.
