Is Sugar Toxic?

What form are you eating the sugar in? I think sugar and HFCS are the devil, but it sounds like you might be being affected by something else such as the large volume of liquid, caffeine, carbonation, etc. Do you get the same thing if you have a large "diet" drink (which I also am not convinced are any better than sugary drinks)?

A lot of the extras you mention are perfectly healthy. Bacon, cheese, butter etc. I eat these types of food all the time and I'm not fat or unhealthy. As you say, it's stuff like soda and other very sugary foods that make you fat.
I drink tap water or bottled water, and just try not to obsess over the additives etc. I'd be more worried about the plastics in the bottle than the "salted"ness. You do realise that the minerals in bottled water are generally natural "bottled at source" type stuff? Same as if you just drank out of a stream. They don't make you thirsty.
Well, Duke Nukem 3D did have a "parental lock" type mode that got rid of the blood, tits and profanity, though IIRC it was easy to get around just by editing the config file.
There's a difference between "not pretty" and "shitty". Right angled lines would have been better than freehand in MS paint. It would have taken all of 3 seconds more, and look infinitely better.
Dropbox also stores history. As does stuff like Volume Shadow Copy, though obviously it's not in "the cloud. I don't really mind putting stuff in Dropbox. I have one "sensitive" file on it, which is encrypted.
(it does depend on the context for posting the whole thing, but for just uploading an entire song/TV episode/movie to YouTube for other people to watch, there isn't much defensible there)
People really don't understand copyright - I've seen hundreds of videos with things like "I DO NOT OWN THIS SONG", "No Copyright infringement intended" etc. Admitting you don't own a song does not make it legal to copy it, and you are taking part in copyright infringement just by uploading a video you don't have copyright on. Whenever I've tried to point this out to people, I get the usual Idiocracy "you're a fag and your shit's all retarded" type responses from morons.
Or, you know, maybe I just don't like tea in the same way that I don't like mushrooms. Slightly burnt tasting filter coffee is annoying, but still much preferable to tea.
No, I live in Scotland. I did enjoy a very sugary cup of tea one time when I was freezing after swimming in the sea. The rest of the time it just tastes like.. tea.. yuck.
Ads on a DVD require active intervention to bypass though, ads on a website or application tend to require passive intervention. I used to pretty much not even see ads on websites even before I installed an adblocker.
No, he means the latter. I'd take the $25 discount if it was only 2 weeks of ads.
Seriously though, if the ads aren't there while reading the book, I don't see the big deal even if it's for the lifetime of the device. The only time I look at my Kindle is when I'm actually reading a book. Now, I don't want ads myself, but I know some people who would take that kind of discount. Some people even seem to like ads..
interesting when you want a 2 cubic diamond block and you need to find, mine and keep all those resources. Then think 'may I should cover that in gold, and that in Iron.
You have a strange definition of "interesting".. Minecraft looks okay, but I'd be more interested in doing stuff like the rollercoasters or playing about with the physics stuff, rather than just building a big block.. to me the game looked like a 3D version of LittleBigPlanet (but with flabbergastingly shitty graphics).

Hahahahah.. I didn't consider the screenshots worth looking at until you said that.. that's some extremely unprofessional interface design.. geez.
Someone should tell the RIAA/MPAA about the illegal filesharing these governments are taking part in. Will be fun to watch the ensuing apocalypse.

It's not fair use to post a whole song or video, only short clips. Go back to YouTube..

If there was someway to split out the useless bloatware and the evil ads (they're all evil by default), it wouldn't be bad.

Google Wave would probably work well as an online whiteboard, if it's still around.
And all those people switching from car to bicycle or bus should bump the figure down a lot.

I first saw the word Ceylon at the weekend, as a type of curry.. random that I now see there is a programming language with the same name.
Toodle pip.
As a human being (who happens to program for a living) I must say that tea tastes weak and sickly, and coffee is tasty.

There is a "screensaver", though of course it doesn't really act as a screensaver, it's more of a notification that the device is now on standby.

Regular Expressions are used in a lot more than just vi..
Buy it? When I played it (something like 5 years ago) it was free!
I think I'll stick with LittleBigPlanet for now thanks, not quite prepared to waste money on a gaming PC again yet..

If you pass this on to 100 emergency personnel in the next 5 minutes, you will meet your true love tomorrow! If you don't, 3 of my friends will drown!
Sort of status I'd delete within reading the first 7 words, and block that person's updates from being on my homepage!
