    Thanks!

    I do some of the things you mention, such as eating 'good' fats. I also take generic multivitamins, oils (don't remember off hand, but its flaxseed, borage, and fish... maybe more. it covers all three Omegas), and b-complex. More trouble there as I can't sustain them long enough to form a habit of taking them.

    However, I feel that the root causes are as such:

    1. I eat VERY poorly. Lots of fast food, boxed food.
    2. I don't exercise. Occasionally I'll run for a minute or two, or lift some heavy things, but those are rare occasions.
    3. Family history of mental and depression problems, on both sides (my whole family tree basically).

    If I can manage to fix any one of these three, I can start pulling myself together. But I seem to slip up eventually, and it all tumbles back. I've tried fixing #1 and #2 above.

    Fortunately, I love the 'right' foods. I prefer weights over cardio... the only cardio I can tolerate is biking. However, I again can't motivate myself to actually go and do all these good things. I have no reasons - I can afford (it's actually cheaper) to eat right, I have the time to exercise. I don't have any physical problems to prevent me from doing either.

    Anyways, thank you for caring and writing all this information. I appreciate it. Now if only I could take it and actually do something with it, just like all the other things I've tried or can try.

    By law, camera phones must make the click noise when operated within some countries to help fight voyeurism.

    Yet more law with little real thought put into it.

    How does that stop someone from wiring in a switch to bypass the speaker? Heck, if you use the right inductor instead of a straight bypass, the device couldn't even tell.

    Just let the spam flow and crap up everything. When everything is useless, perhaps they will give up.

    Right now, they push tons of shit with the hope that the peak of it might show through. If all of it is seen, the volume might backfire.

    It sure will suck for everyone though.

    Well, they wanted to try physical excersize and a proper diet to see if they could pull them in line without using steroids or hormones, but I just seem to lack the willpower to actually follow through. I can do it for a month or so, but then I just loose it.

    I haven't yet been back to someone about it, though when I do I'm going to ask if we can try an artificial solution at the start, to give me a running start. From what I understand, most of my motivation problems are rooted in the imbalance to begin with. One of those 'vicious circle' things.

  10. Re:You won't be able to change the modem code on Google To Sell Truly Open Android Dev Phone · · Score: 1

    That's fine, because that lives in a separate system that's physically connected in the phone. Just like you don't drive a modem directly (you send it Hayes commands), you wouldn't drive that part of the phone directly.

  11. Re:FCC on Google To Sell Truly Open Android Dev Phone · · Score: 1

    I believe the wireless is a separate system, that coexists with the embedded computer. The computer can tell the wireless to transmit at an arbitrary power, but the wireless doesn't have to respect the command.

    As well, there could be physical limitations. If you broadcast with too much power, you might instead just produce a nasty odor and a useless phone with a brown spot on the board.

    I'm guilty. My testosterone level is quite low and my estrogen level is high.

    This results in all sorts of fun things like mood swings, depressive tendencies (which leads to weight trouble). I have an emotional 'period' but am lucky enough to have the wrong physiology to deal with the rest.

    That said, I am very interested in females, and find no interest in my fellows. As potentially embarrassing and awkward as it is, I should say I don't have the 'opposite' reaction to my fellows, only a 'don't care' reaction.

  15. Re:Cultural influence on Chemical Pollution Is Destroying Masculinity · · Score: 1

    Which came first, the culture or the genetics?

    I would argue that culture finds it's roots in genetics and instincts, and the expression of it is only altered by the environment, not created by it.

    You could still be put for libel, but the odds of that actually happening is the part that saves you. You would still be commiting libel, however.

    To take this to extremes to make my point clear:

    Just because nobody saw you do it, doesn't mean you're not guilty. It just means you got away with it.
