Citation please. If that's really true, then why do so many people see their blood pressure improve by taken blood pressure medication that causes the excretion of sodium?
Moderate salt intake is mandatory, if you're not consuming any you'll eventually run low and wind up dead or brain damaged. And, that's not as hard as people think, all it takes is a few days of unseasonable weather if you've been low balling your consumption to get seriously ill. As in wind up in the ICU of the local hospital with life threatening brain damage.
Yes, that's rather unlikely as most people consume so much salt that it would take weeks or more to run low, but it can and does happen.
The problem with salt is that it can be too low or too high. And, despite what doctors might say, it's not that hard to run low.
Bottom line, is that it's how much you have in your brain and blood stream that ultimately matters more than your consumption does. If you're eating 2x the recommended amount, but sweating 3x as much as a normal person would, you will get sick eventually.
They're pretty much equivalent processors, except for the fact that the Atom struggles to even just run Windows 7 whereas the E-350 has no such trouble.
And yes, that's a fair comparison to make, assuming the Yugo is Atom.
And good luck with that. ASCAP gets a fee from damn near every establishment where you might want to perform your music, just in case somebody uses something that is covered by the ASCAP license. Radio access is basically non-existent without a contract with a major label.
You do have the internet, but without tons of money for advertising it can be hard to get sufficient attention to build an audience.
And it's not about success, it's about the industry using their money to create success rather than advancing a better product. If they genuinely had better albums, that would be completely different. Instead we get crap.
The copyright holders are getting a free ride here. They aren't being required to pay anything to file the complaints, but the customer is required to pay to appeal the decision. Ultimately, the customers end up paying for the service that's being provided to the rights holders for free.
The way it should work is that the rights holders should have to be paying the fees and recover the money when they file suit. If they don't intend to file suit, then they shouldn't be forcing somebody else to pay a fee to defend themselves.
People who don't have a good cellular connection. I regularly use a laptop to do my video conferencing as my cell phone doesn't have a forward facing camera and the internet connection has a tight cap.
And neither does this. They're using the public right of way as well as my private walkway in order to do it. And they have other options available to them in order to distribute their books. The objective here is ultimately fraudulent, they don't want the advertisers to know just how poorly read the books are, using circulation numbers that are artificially enlarged to make it appear like the books are being used.
But, they don't work well. Watching my mother's netbook struggle to do basic things like open windows explorer where my equivalent AMD e-350 had no troubles indicates that it is in fact not something that works well. It certainly doesn't work as well as the Xeon or Core lines do in their respective market.
In fact, I have a hard time thinking of anything for which Atom works pretty well. If it can't handle basic Windows 7 stuff, I'm at a bit of a loss as to what it can do very well.
This isn't about brand preference it's about the fact that the line is so ineptly designed that it's worthless and the only reason people buy them is because there aren't sufficient non-Atom x86 compatible processors in that space.
Umm, yes I do in fact have that right, this is fundamentally no different from other unsolicited commercial messages. I don't recall the judges saying there was anything wrong with the CAN SPAM Act. Which is precisely the same thing.
The city government just said that you have to obey the wishes of the people on our list to not receive your messages or face a fine. This is not squashing anybody's freedom of speech. The phone book companies still had any number of ways in which to distribute their books, they just couldn't do so to people that were requesting to opt out.
So, you're saying, that I should have to drive or take the bus to a collection site in order to dispose of the phone book that I didn't want in the first place, because the phonebook companies choose to saddle me with the book I was never consulted on in the first place? That's roughly $20 worth of time and energy right there, even for somebody working for minimum wage taking the bus.
We have the right to free speech, we don't have the right to an audience. By your logic we could never regulate unsolicited commercial messages because you'd be infringing upon the rights of corporate entities to reach their audience.
Pretty great? Atom sucks balls compared with AMD's offerings. And it's not even close. Intel offers them so that AMD has some competition in that space, but Intel doesn't have any reason for them to be good as that would take away from their business of selling the more expensive processors.
The problem is that this was a case of the city offering an opt out for the phonebooks. It's not a legitimate 1st amendment issue, there is no right to an audience anywhere in the 1st amendment. Now, had the city made it opt in, that likely would have been different, but the courts seriously fucked up the ruling by suggesting that the people don't have a right to say no to the deliveries through the city's system.
The city wasn't making demands on what the books could contain or preventing them from reaching people that wanted copies, the city was just running an opt out list. The reality is that most people don't use the phonebooks anyways and most of them wind up being used as booster seats or tossed in the recycle bin immediately. I can't recall the last time I looked up a number in the phonebook due to the books not being any more up to date as online listings and less convenient to search.
The courts though decided to find in favor of corporate interests again without any plausible justification for doing so.
Because computers never have bugs and people always know what the things on the screen mean. Having a person there slows things a bit, but they're supposed to be there to fix things and answer questions as well.
Also, this sort of attitude is why customer service in the US is so incredibly bad most of the time. In China, where I'm pretty sure the government mandates a minimum number of employees, customer service is good to the point of being creepy often times. You'll have an employee for ever 4 or so aisles there to answer questions or direct you to the correct aisle and even fastfood restaurants like McDonalds will have people there to clear up after you finish eating.
This is what you get when there are insufficient jobs for the people which coincidentally is the situation you get when you eliminate all the jobs that aren't completely necessary.
Depends on your voice. I have a rather low voice and often times the system just can't pick up my voice at all. It'll suggest talking louder, but that's bullshit. Talking louder only helps if you're talking unreasonably quietly, which is pretty much nobody.
But, properly implemented, a menu system can be much more efficient as it gives the technicians the information they always have to ask before they come online to help. What people hate are poorly designed systems and ones which are confusing.
It was a valid point, and anyways, it was hardly the only problem they had with the car, remember the brake failure? The one that isn't really a brake failure because apparently, having a wheel seize up isn't a brake failure if it's just the fuse. Or some bullshit like that.
And, from what others have done, the battery gauge is just as inaccurate as in any other device, remember the other feud that Tesla is having with the NYT over its review of the car?
The point is, that it was Tesla's figures that estimated how far the car would go without a charge, not Top Gear's and they have a finite amount of time in which to film an episode which requires them to schedule thing like this. The brake failure though was 100% real. Which is probably why they didn't run it around the track a few more times to fully run it out of power.
Not really, around here it was only in the last year or two that some of the neighborhoods received upgrades from 1.5mpbs maximum download rates. And Seattle was one of the most connected cities in the country. 1.5mbps is insufficient to stream with decent quality these days without spending a ton of time waiting for the video to buffer.
Every other option has a cap that would prevent access to this sort of service.
So, no, not everybody has access to basic broadband service if they want it, 1.5mbps was barely acceptable 10 years ago.
And when all is said and done, we've paid for proper access to be installed through much of the country, the companies that have been providing it have done an abysmal job of provisioning services. I could understand middle of nowhere Wyoming not having proper service, but in the middle of well off neighborhoods in the middle of cities?
I'm guessing that they're running an elaborate experiment to see just what one has to do to ruin a distro thoroughly and completely. Otherwise, none of this makes any sense.
Tabs are used to pay for roads in many places, so yes, it's very much germane to the discussion. Tabs are also on license plates, which bicyclists aren't required to have. Which is a shame because the time I was almost hit by a cyclist riding at night without any lights, I had no way of reporting it.
Doesn't change the fact that driving like that is illegal in most places. I remember when I was taking my motorcycle safety class, you're supposed to control your lane, as in not share it with anybody. Doesn't matter how large your vehicle is, driving in the blind spots is incredibly dangerous.
More likely it's just a case of use it or lose it. We don't generally start studying physics formally until high school, so we grow up thinking about the world in a way that isn't strictly speaking real. We then have to unlearn what we know so that we can understand physics if we wish to be physicists. And when you get to the quantum and relativistic areas, it's so unlike what we've conditioned ourselves to see, that it can be a hard leap to make.
I like how my previous post got modded funny, when that's pretty well established. Even our first language can be forgotten if it's left unused for long enough, the brain doesn't retain knowledge that it doesn't need because that has never led to better mating opportunities historically.
On precisely what basis are you saying that? The brain itself accounts for about 20% of the caloric needs of a person, so having a lot of neurons hanging around that aren't needed was never desirable, now we can more readily feed ourselves, so it's not as big of an issue. But really, up until relatively recently lack of sufficient food was a much bigger concern than the ins and outs of reality.
That's more a matter of the way the brain selectively ignores and forgets things which would lead to inconsistency. Which until relatively recently wasn't that big of a deal, there were a small enough set of observers that things could easily be kept in sync, and without extensive records, there wasn't anything to contradict the agreement of the folks talking.
These days though, that's changed and it's going to be interesting to see what the effects are.

We hated them already, why do you think the opt out was taken up by the city council? I'll give you a hint it's not just because they're green.

Perhaps theoretically, in practice, even with my 5mbps connection, I rarely see speeds that fast.
And considering how much the taxpayers have paid to greedy ISPs, I think it's perfectly understandable to demand something for it.
