    Or stir fry, pasta, some curries, steak and new potatoes. In fact most good food can be cooked relatively quickly. Not perhaps a roast or lasagne but even they don't take much actual time to do, just time to cook.

    Don't eat processed food. Don't drink too many (1 a day) sugary drinks. Do eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables. Do exercise regularly, hell even walking a couple of miles a day would do to start with. Do eat wholemeal carbohydrates (brown rice, brown bread, wholemeal pasta etc.).

    Energy in = Energy out

    or

    Energy in Energy out to lose weight.

    Sorry I just don't buy that. If it takes more than 20 minutes to cook a decent meal you should look into getting better at cooking. Yes you can spend hours preparing food but really you can make good healthy meals in less than 20 minutes. Now granted that is not stick in microwave for 5 or in the oven and does require a bit of effort but really the extra effort might go some way to reducing your damn weight.

    That and I imagine lots of fat people spend a lot of time on their asses watching TV...

  6. Re:Isn't that at obvious? on Fructose As Culprit In the Obesity Epidemic · · Score: 1

    I once watched a program called the half ton man, which had the useful adage that eating 24 of anything you are going to get fat. It's the whole most things are not _that_ bad for you in small doses but overeating is bad, doesn't matter if you are eating 100kg of lard or 100kg of sugar, energy in = energy out, any imbalance you are either going to lose weight or gain weight. It really is quite simple, don't understand why people don't get it.

  7. Re:sounds like Sony's typical problems of late on Sony CEO Confirms Limited $499 PS3 Stock · · Score: 1

    You make sense, but then I like to think I have a brain. The point is that much of the 'news' we hear is not what the average consumer hears or cares about. So best hold off on any rash statements, although we would like sony to fail with their peculiar formats again. That being said Sony have made a complete hash of this one.

    So they have gone, sorry we screwed up took longer than we planned, but don't you worry we'll not be affected because we're just passing the cost straight back onto you. So yes they may have known, but that still doesn't make it right, it's not the radio stations fault the government can't actually decide anything on time.

    although to be fair I went to an apple lecture about OpenDirectory and all I thought for most of it was this is NT4 with a few tweaks, so Apple are coming to the networked party a little late. That being said you stick a Device in front of me and I'll have a play, don't understand all these die hard single focus people, it's a friggin' computer you *should* be able to do something (even defenestration).

  14. Re:Worst comparison chart EVER on iPhone Gets Better Battery, Scratch Resistant Glass · · Score: 1

    So you want some form of 'chart of tables', which you might like the ability to sort through by some attributes. You perhaps might wish to collect the information together from different tables to display on simple charts, perhaps you just want a subset. I'm sure that there is something like that but for the life of me I can't remember what that is.

  20. Re:I don't want to be pessimistic... on OLPC Project Rollout Begins In Uruguay · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I agree with you in part, regarding the studies showing laptop aided development in developed countries has little, or even negative impact. However in areas where there is no ready access to technology, and other teaching materials such as books are expensive, then the concept of having a cheap way of distributing content to children and of giving them access to technology may actually be very beneficial. Although this shouldn't be seen as the only thing we should be doing to close the digital divide.

    It's driver issues, I'm not sure that Apple will fix them properly, but they might as they might be on to a good thing with Windows on Macs. As more people will buy Macs because they can run Windows, and you will get some of those users hopping the fence. We have it happening where I work, more users are buying Macs because they do allow them to use Windows, through boot camp or Parallels (or both...). I wonder how long and what market share Apple need to become evil...
