That is why vegans ends up so thin and crazy, to get necessary nutrients, the body starts to break down muscle and brain tissue.
Yeah, my uncle gave into his wife and turned vegan like 15 years ago. He started looking all thin, and frail, and had a grey complexion. Didn't look healthy at all to me. That lasted about 10 years, and I'm glad to say I helped get him him back on the food that can bite back, and off a diet made up entirely foods that can't even run away, let alone fight back.
Ohh! Where can I send you my bank account and tracking numbers?
I see you use a Yahoo! email account and believe that only strengthens you credibility, as I have seen many honest and admired businessmen use such accounts.
I am leery of sending this information via email because I understand that it is an insecure and unreliable communications method. Perhaps I could post it here, since I have never heard of a slashdot user never getting notified of a post for him.
You are confusing poor attention span with stupidity
Low attention span usually lead to difficulty learning things because they can't pay attention to long enough to learn more than sweeping generalizations. [ Which are **always** wrong.;) ]

Yes, but I suspect the neighbours had to spend a lot of $$ in legal fees.
...and moving costs, and probably sold their house at a big finantial loss, and lost wages, and lost friends, and lost neighbors (other than Mr WiFi), etc...
And counter suing this guy is probably pointless. I doubt he has the money to pay a fraction of those legal costs, let alone the rest.
X-rays are nothing like radio signals emanated from consumer electronics. Not at all similar.
Yep. Except, you know, for the fact that they are both forms of light, and forms of electromagnetism, just vibrating at different frequencies, they're not similar at all.
"Is bottled beer nuclear bombproof?... Yep... [you can drink it] without major health risks."
Yes, most people do not understand radioactivity, and believe it is contagious.
Radioactivity is only 'contagious' in the sense that radioactive dust can be breathed in or transferred from person to person and object to object. (Though a nuclear explosion creates a LOT of radioactive dust.)
Being irradiated (exposed to radiation) does not make you radioactive any more than being exposed to the sun does, it just causes cellular damage (just as being exposed to the sun does, only worse). (Breathing in radioactive dust, on the other hand, leaves that dust in your lungs, making you potentially deadly to yourself, and somewhat radioactive to others.) That is why some food companies want to use radiation to sterilize food. It will kill anything living on or in the food, but not cause the food to be radioactive. There are drawbacks though, the cellular damage cannot be limited to bacteria, viruses and parasites, so the cells of the food will be damaged too. Causing a drop in important vitamins and minerals, and thus a drop in the nutritional value of the food.
I may be the target audience for a product, but that does not mean that I am in the market for that product. Besides, I'm only happy to see ads that are relevant to what I'm doing at the time, and I'm unhappy when I'm presented with an ad that betray more than a casual knowledge about my preferences / hobbies / interests / skills. It makes me paranoid, with good reason.
But more importantly, information gathered about you for targeted ads can be used not only to rule you IN to certain advertisements, but can and will be used just as easily rule you OUT of opportunities for prizes, discounts, etc.
Targeted advertising does not only mean targeting some, it also means ignoring others. It's costly to advertise to those who will not buy your product at a profit that you are willing to sell at.
If my information shows that I am not an impulse buyer, that I do extensive research on all the products that I buy, and I always buy things based on the price/performance ratio. Why should anybody ever offer me a discount or coupon?
If I have a record of only buying something when it's on sale, a discount or coupon does not create more value (profit) for the seller, it subtracts value it!
And if I buy something with a coupon or a discount that I was going to buy anyway, again the seller has LOST money. Offering me coupons, discounts and other incentives is illogical.
Coupons, discounts and other buyer incentives are based on the concept of creating value (profits) for the seller, not the buyer. Otherwise, what is the seller's motive for offering them? The seller must at least perceive a value to itself, otherwise it won't do it.
And marketing is based on the idea of creating perceived value in the customer's mind, at the lowest cost to the seller. Again, why else do it?
The most reliable method of increasing profits is to increase impulse buying. In impulse buying the seller bypasses any normal product evaluation done by the customer by making the product appear more attractive and / or valuable. Just as a pretty paint job on a house / car can substantially raise it's supposed 'value' far past the cost of getting it painted. This makes a pretty paint-job a rational decision on the seller's part, because it will bring in more money than it cost.
If my buying decisions are based on price/performance, then why offer me any incentives to buy at all? They can't keep their profits high if they cater to price/performance buyers. Only a drop in price vs performance will attract those buyers, and that lowers profits.
Instead, why not ignore those buyers and focus entirely on those who perceive value in things that have little or no cost to the seller? That is profitable business plan. Catering to those who demand a low price v performance ratio, and who ignore low-cost "improvements" and inducements is a plan to barely scratch out a profit.

About ten years ago, i stopped eating wheat and other similar grains... I never started eating dairy or eggs again
Them's odd eggs you've got there... Can you sprout them?

He looks much healthier now.
Meh, I think I'll do it by myself, just for the fun of it.
Which? The 15 year old party or the ponies?
And why do they both sound dirty?
I've been around for about 8 years I think, probably 18 months to 2 years before I got my Slashdot account.
Wow! You must have been a precocious toddler. 18 months and already had a slashdot account!
Your parents should try harder to keep you away from bad influences!
Booo!
So if you ever ask a Korean their age, you should ask them for their 'international age' which will be 1 to 2 years lower
Oh, THAT'S why the always look so young!
What kind of a geek celebrates the 15th of anything?
A 15 year old geek?

I await your response.
P.S. Are you pretty?
In *my* country, YOU lick DOG!

"Popcorn lung"... As it turns out... the usual artificial butter flavoring... causes... progressive, irreversible, destruction of lung capacity
Hell of a price for the munchies.
Genius!
Not always, but it can happen if it's been determined to be a nuisance suit, a lawsuit with no merit, brought just to harass the defendant.
fucking unlikely != impossible
it would have to be a damn fantastic dimmer to have wi-fi.
Ask, and you shall receive. Some damn fantastic dimmers!
What kind of wireless dimmer do you want?

Acupuncture, always labeled an Alternative Medicine, does have such a study.

Sentence structure, not so much. :P
just 40 million miles closer, and we'd find out that light is, indeed very dangerous..
Just a stones thow away! ^_^
Yup, a square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not a square.
Just as X-Rays are a subset of Light, but Light is not a subset of X-Rays.
See? Public school taught me something!

Yep. Except, you know, for the fact that they are both forms of light, and forms of electromagnetism, just vibrating at different frequencies, they're not similar at all.

Is that anything like Basic Cable?
It comes bundled with a bunch of crap you don't want and will never use?
