I can't imaging riding a single gear to work. I rode to work the other day (35 miles round trip) and the hills would be impossible if I couldn't shift down. That's what different gear ratios are for! While you might have to mash hard to get up hills with a fixed generally, you are forced to spin down them at a high cadence as well (assuming you are fixed cog and not a freewheel). Of course this type of riding is not for everyone... I do it for the option of track standing at intersections, not having to concentrate on shifting as well as the appeal of minimalist bikes with a bare amount of components (i.e. no derailers or shifters) for looks and efficiency. It's also good for practicing your spinning technique.
is a reasonable way of getting fit:) How about using a fixed gear or single speed bike as a commuter to save on maintenance and cost? www.sheldonbrown.com www.fixedgeargallery.com are some good sites on the topic
Maybe my sarcasm detector is malfunctioning but NES emulation is one of the most popular consoles to emulate and thus may be found on any number of platforms, including of course, Mac.

This is also known as 'Iridology' ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iridology ) and has been discounted as something that lacks any reproducible scientific basis.
Yes, that is, if one considers the iris and retina to be the same thing but this is hardly anything as occult as Chiromancy.
Does this liken Bill Gates to a sort of contemporary Capone?!
Seriously though, what might be the ramifications of pushing sub-par software and what entail those secret business dealings at MS?!! I bet if it were up to microsoft they would push data entry and databasing software in their office suites so inefficient that using them to any serious extent would bring about a case of serious carpal tunnel so severe it would require serious medical attention! Ergo your average worker bee would become hooked on a new class of meds (MS reaping the $$ somehow) spawning a new breed of addict comprising an entire class so easily mobilized politically that there's no holding back the dystopian mess that would subsequently ensnare us. Sleep tight!
So you have to go ahead and be such a big scrooge at this time of year..! Well for the love of God and everything divine, don't ever question Christmas(tm) again lest you face His divine wrath in the form of revoked mail-in rebates and parking tickets, punk!
Why shouldn't we hold these people responsible for their own actions? They aren't rats, they are people! If they are too mentally retarded to be able to figure out when something is hurting them, perhaps they should be in an institution.
Great new idea! And while we're at it, why don't we send everyone posing a perceived burden to society in those things as well!/sarcasm
Oh yeah, and what's the deal with functional addicts? Oh riiiiiight they're rich:P
Hayabusa has dropped that plaque bearing the names of Steven Spielberg and Arthur C. Clarke, and if not, might there still a chance on the next approach?!?
but seriously, regarding the average consumer I really think him/her would benefit from installing mandrake or ubuntu provided the hardware available is supported, or at least dual booting for particular needs like ms access and games...is it not less hassle to do than running ad-aware, spybot, etc and doing regular registry repair and defrags, or in the latter case minimizing maintanance on the ms side? Those distros run most things out of the box already and you may as well save the exorbitant licensing fee. Oh what the heck, all this has been noted ad nauseum on/. and the status quo recursively treads onwards.
People haven't changed much since primitive times. On a day after day basis it was not possible to work on hunting more than 4 to 6 hours a day. The same remains true today, the brain can only concentrate for so long.
Hey, I'm just following in Voltaire's footsteps (who is fabled to have drank gallons per day).
Got 6 cups measured? Then allow me to open my gullet for that sweet stream of brown nectar PLEAAASE. A little ringin' in the ears and facial flushing never stoped anyone! Besides, it functions to alleviate muscle fatigue and increase sexual vigor...or so I've heard:(

Français, mon frère , do you speak it? And aren't there degrees of ubiquity? I dunno....

And naturally they'll have to "turn left" to compete in the game, lol.

We're going to wind up with rings just like Saturn, but ours is going to be the remains of our communications infrastructure.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't space junk low orbiting though?

couldn't resist, sorry lol

LOL. At first I had thought this was parodizing the "kill list" in dungeon crawling games (e.g. nethack, or adom). Why was this marked troll anyway?
I was being sarcastic and I agree with you...guess I didn't make it clear enough ;)
