That's the exactly same response I usually get in Real Life. The reality is that muscle mass translates into more calorie expenditure at rest. Unfit people that struggle to run for 10 minutes will be burning hardly any calories doing aerobic exercise, so weight training is a critical component of any exercise program.
The great irony of aerobic training is that the calorie expenditure only really becomes substantial enough to cause weight loss *after* the individual is already fit enough to maintain it for a prolonged period.
That's not to say that aerobic training isn't important... but most people greatly underestimate the importance of weight training. (Girls especially, in my experience. "But I don't want huge arms!", they say.)
For weight loss I would prioritise diet, weights and cardio, in that order. All are important.
It's not being manufactured any longer. It is/was a limited edition for pre-orders.
Obviously some retailers would have over-estimated their pre-orders and will end up with excess stock.
Exactly what I was thinking. Has MS forgot that a machine that is one level will change into another soon? Or is the scale going to be forever increasing so the levels can stay static?
It would be a simple system if it made any sense.
I thought a few times before submitting it (even typed it up and aborted the first time) but given that Slashdot has a Mozilla section it seemed to be appropriate.
I guess Slashdot thought so too.:)

Buy some weights - real weights, ones that you can actually add pounds to - and gradually build some muscle. Push-ups and sit-ups won't do much.
For one, it's interesting. Additionally, the news post relates the concept to open source software.

It's a suit?

Sorry, that's what I meant. You get my point anyway I'm sure.
Hah! It's a fairly common expression here on Earth meaning that a given event is nearing. ;)

Nah, it's been out a few weeks. It was a release to fix some minor security issues from memory. (Like 0.9.2, although that could merely be patched.)
Nah, penguins apparently live up to around 20 years so Tux should have a good few left yet at least.
That said, I'm not sure whether Tux *is* Linux in Penguin form, or if Tux is in fact the spawn of Linux?
If the latter is the case Tux will definitely be around a bit longer than seven more years. I admittedly don't know the lifespan of a Linux.
Odds are that with all that space there's probably more than one copy of a given song available.
