I'm with you. I'm going to wait until the sharks are swimming around my ankles here in central Victoria, Australia, before I stop pumping CO2 into the atmosphere.
It has to be sharks too. Angry sea bass aren't going to convince me. There are plenty of non-global warming explanations for why sea bass could be swimming around my ankles, and so that alone should not be taken as hard evidence of climate change.
And once I'm finally convinced that the climate is in fact changing, the presence of sharks swimming around my ankles isn't going to convince me that my CO2 has anything to do with it. It could in fact be the anklesharks causing climate change for their own reasons.
Show me an IT monkey who could tell the difference between two standard network adapters, one of them fine and the other containing a counterfeit MAC/PHY IC that's been fucked with by Chinese intelligence services...
And for the time taken to vet the laptop for such things, you might as well throw it out.
On the other hand, if you actually did want to get government personnel using subverted hardware then I think just sending it to them anonymously is probably not a good way of going about it... so maybe the criminals aren't that smart. Or maybe that's what they want you to think?
If your body, for whatever reason, allows you to outperform others without the interference of artificial performance-enhancing substances, congratulations. You win.
Not so fast there Mr/Ms everything-is-either-black-or-white. The whole point is that we separate mens and womens competitions so that each body type can compete on a (more) level playing field. If her body type better belongs in the mens competitions (genetics aside) then she really should be competing there instead.
Besides, nobody drives front panel LEDs with 20mA unless they're trying to blind somebody.
So true. We installed an 8 port IP-KVM switch in a rack recently, and the on light was _bright_ blue, to the point that 20m away it felt like it was boring a hole in my head. I cut some paper into ~1cm square pieces and taped a stack of 3 over it, and it still looked excessively bright. I don't know what the designers were thinking.
Do you really think you are passing that much extra food?
It's not impossible. My daughter has coeliac disease, and i've been tested (blood test only) and come back negative but it's not impossible that I have something like that going on.
+2 degree c fever
A lot of the time when I take my temp it is around 37.5-38. The same thermometer (the type you stick in your ear) measures my wife at around 35.5. I'd say my baseline body temp is a bit higher than average... would that make much of a difference? I always feel the cold much more than everyone else...
I remember watching a doco on low-carb high protein diets. They found that atkins was on to something, not with the low carbs but with the high protein. The group that had to have a lot of protein but could additionally eat anything else they wanted didn't actually end up eating much of anything else. The high protein seemed to cut down the cravings for snacks, snacks being what ruins most otherwise good diets.
Simple equation: energy in == energy consumed.
I don't think it's quite that simple for everyone. I've been through periods of eating really badly (high fat takeaway for lunch every day for weeks on end) and then really healthy, with identical exercise level (~none), and my weight never moved outside the 69-71kg range that i seem to have been stuck at for the last 5-10 years. I've added up the calories I intake vs the exercise I do (next to none) and by all calculations I should be a balloon. 69-71kg would be about right for my height if there was a bit more muscle on me.
If I don't eat very regularly (eg breakfast at 8am, i'll need something fairly substantial by 10am) I get the shakes and start feeling really really spaced out and crave sugar. If I continue to not eat it kind of settles down and I start feeling a bit normal again but a few hours later i'll get a horrible headache that won't go away for days even with painkillers (although something with a lot of caffeine helps at bit if it goes that far). I've been tested for diabetes and hypoglycemia several times over the years and nothing has showed anything out of the ordinary... i assume i'm just a bit more sensitive to small drops in blood sugar levels than most people.
I was a kid when I played them, and the storylines were pretty linear, but I loved "It came from the desert", and "wings". It would be nice if they could be given an updated retelling...

Does it get more MPG than the Aptera?
I think that GPM would be a more sensible imperial unit of measure for such a vehicle.
And players of any sport, unless they are personal friends, are boring.
Clearly you aren't acquainted with any sport that involves girls dressed in very little clothing then.
If I wanted 3000 bugs swarming inside my computer i'd run Windows.
Ah. So maybe it's being tired that causes Alzheimer's. If you're tired you can either have a sleep or have a coffee.
Genetically engineer a variante of that grass that is resistant to herbicides and infest your "favorite" competitor's/enemy's fields.
And then take your enemy to court for violating your patent
Yes. Those of us that survive don't need to play violent games. We've lived it!
There's a cat that seems to be able to tell when someone is about to die.
I'm sorry sir... but according to your latest cat scan, your death is imminent.

This story is about *linux the kernel*, the only real linux and not "linux the operating system"
Actually this story is about Windows and KVM...
Yes. Me. :)
How is this new news? Xen and VMWare have had PV drivers for Windows for ages...

Got any links to projects that use those? I'll almost certainly never get around to it but it would still be fun to read about others doing it
I never really considered Godzilla as an argument for nuclear reactors in airplanes.
And this lack of foresight is why you have no place in todays military.

My theory: Say you start putting on extra weight. That is more weight you have to carry around during your normal activities.
I think your theory is wrong. All the stuff i've read says the more muscle you have, the higher your baseline energy consumption is.
On that basis, with very little muscle I am ultra efficient :)
Low or no-carb diets are bad.

the kernel was so perfect that it thought it was god and it condemned the rest of the OS to hell
Windows is a good example of an OS that _thinks_ it is perfect. Fortunately Microsoft's idea of hell is my idea of heaven :)
I thought any sufficiently complex system was impossible to prove correct.
Then obviously this OS is not sufficiently complex.
I was a kid when I played them, and the storylines were pretty linear, but I loved "It came from the desert", and "wings". It would be nice if they could be given an updated retelling...
thanks for that. I need a laugh :)
Not a problem. We'll just use more photocopiers so we can print more batteries. You're not thinking outside the box.
