  1. Re:Mobile devices on Browser Stats For The BBC Homepage · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Also those web savvy enough to be using firefox would go directly to the section of the bbc webby they need (like news.bbc.co.uk). I find nothing particularly useful about the bbc homepage.

  4. Not new? on Australian Science Makes the Regenerating Mouse · · Score: 2, Interesting
    A quick search for Ellen Heber-Katz shows that these 'super mice' at least, have been known about for quite a while:

    We were doing an experiment and my laboratory assistant went upstairs to ear punch the mice and 3 weeks later I went to see how the experiment was doing and when I looked in the cage I was horrified to see that the mice were there, but the ear, the ear holes were not.

    I am indeed privileged to have these basic human rights (which, sadly, do not exist in some third world lands)

    like Guantanamo?

  6. Re:Ha on Fat Geeks Healthier Than You Thought · · Score: 1

    This just isn't true, it's much better to avoid those extra calories in the first place rather than trying to sweat them off.

    The average bloke burns ~2500 cals a day just by keeping their body ticking over, which makes a 2 mile run (~200 cals) look trivial.

    I lost ~60lb (~4 stone) in a year by counting all my calories and making sure i kept the daily deficit as low as i could.

    The hackers diet (loosing weight from an engineering perspective) has some useful info:
