I'm not talking about "gout", I'm pointing out that arthritis is when the body stores poisons within itself instead of eliminating them. So (1) stop eating so much poison (i.e. meat) and (2) give your system a boost by consuming a bitter herb (Senna) that we no longer get enough of in our modern diet.
As to uric acid issues, quantity is the deal. Humans are capable of dealing with vegetarian sources of uric acid (including our own creation of it). Meat has ten times what we can handle -- we lack the short "refuse tube" of carnivores, meat takes up to 24 hours to transit our system and so we re-absorb the toxins before it does leave.
Any other myths you would care to add? Maybe it causes people to vote Republican, for example.
Seriously, I've used it for almost 25 years, no change in dose. Never diarrhea, let alone chronic. _If_ it caused diarrhea, one could see electrolyte and nutrient loss. I've never noted a withdrawal effect....Just checked my fingers and toes and it looks like Shrek's job is safe.
As to that bleached colon of mine, guess I'll have to start swallowing White Strips.
Some like quest games, others like to blow things up. I like hand-eye coordination games like pinball (may I recommend 3D Ultra Pinball Thrillride) and arcade games like Centipede and Arkanoid. If you want more from us, you have to narrow your question.
[And if you don't want arthritis, (1) give up meat and (2) improve your elimination -- I take senna leaves daily.]
A few days back someone announced that the web wasn't dominated by porn sites. Now we have a single porn site with 9,000,000 pages. I've run some big non-porn sites, and they were just a few thousand web pages. Maybe the porn tale does wag the iDog...
I've played the silver ball for 36 years and with one exception I would agree with you. That exception is 3D Ultra Pinball Thrillride -- a video game that plays better than a pinball machine. It is as good as any pinball game in terms of game play, variety and realism. It is better because you never have to clean it or replace worn out components. I picked up a surplused copy for about $10. Much as I love ST:TNG (the show and the pin), a $10 product that never wears out, is fully mute-able and is legally/easily backupable beats it by a mile.
On reading the article and seeing that Eudora development is going to stop I decided to upgrade from 6.0.3 to 7.1.0.9. A big mistake from a performance point of view. Program loads several times slower and even just scrolling Tools -> Options screens is noticeably slower (i.e. enough to be a PITA, several seconds to display the next screen, versus instantaneous before). And this is after turning off the mailbox indexing thingy.
I upgraded for better handling of spam -- some were crashing 6.0.3 -- but it seems I have lost performance in the process. I am tempted to speculate that they left debugging code in the EXE, but we don't make those mistakes these days, do we? It has to be ironic that Google can send me its answer to a custom query spanning the world's 10 billion web pages faster than I can show the next screen of options on a locally running program.
I imagine available RAM is measured in megs, but the space to store a list of songs played would be measured in smaller amounts -- say 6 digits per song, in a string like "000001 000004 000008..." -- that would come to 7000 bytes for 1000 songs. Sounds like a pittance. Yet even if this cramped the style of a single digit of megabytes device, at least it would solve the problem for my 60GB one. And I would wager that the majority of devices have gigs rather than megs.
Wouldn't this solve the problem completely? Every song that gets selected for play is removed from a stored list. Once the last song is played off the stored list, start again. Man, I'd...I'd...I'd even consider giving up my 78's for this feature.
If we are talking about a way to relax, what better way than to obtain your preferred beverage and kick back while the machine does the work? Given that premise, here are some of my favorite MAME replays:
(1) 6 million+ point Mr. Do!
(2) Any 9,999,999 point game of Bubble Bobble
(3) 7 million+ point Rygar
(4) Any complete game of OutRun with the music turned up
(5) Any complete game of R-Type (ver. 1, 2 or 3)
With an honorable mention for any 7 million+ poing Raiden replay.
BTW, where have the mame.retrogames.com.INPs gone?
Today happens to be garbage pickup day where I live. Our garbage container, like most in the area, holds about 70 pounds of garbage. The average family around here has a little over 2 people in it. 2 people * 5 pounds/day * 7 days = 70 pounds. And the garbage cans are always full. Some have 2 or 3 times as much garbage sitting beside their one can. Not counting the recycling -- we can put out as much recyclables as we want -- and this can run to 25 or 50 pounds per household. Not counting leaves, grass clippings or other yard waste -- put out in special (enormous) yard waste bags. These can run to several hundred pounds for some houses.
"2.3 kg" (i.e. about 5 pounds) per person for personal waste production sounds exactly right to me. Without mentioning the waste created when 400 ton mining trucks remove mountain tops to tap veins of coal and other resources.
By the way, our "output" is about the average, except we have 5 people in the household (I married into them, didn't make them, for those wanting to jump on that). Today I have just 60% of one garbage container filled, barely a bucket of recyclables a week are put out, and no grass or leaf bags ever make it to the curb (we compost them).
The average American is horribly wasteful. Simple as that. And only higher costs will change the average American's habits. Unless they marry a Canadian, as my wife did.
I wonder what percent of the world's energy is used for video games, taking into account motherboard overclocking, graphics cards that are 100 times overkill for anything but gaming and the additional air conditioning needed to cool the gamer's house. Pretty hard to justify the answer, whatever it is, even on slashdot.
The 4 page Fry's section in the local paper works for me in that regard. By the way, are all Fry's as disorganized as the one in Wilsonville, OR? Despite or because of this I find I anticipate a visit to Fry's as much as our semi-annual camping trips.
Windows 9x/ME sucks for the simple fact of limited System Resources. They doubled the size of the two main heaps, but this is not enough to run even two Microsoft Office 2000 applications at the same time without crashes. If you are happy with 98 it is because you run one major ap at a time and no more. Or you just carry right on when an application crashes. Or you actually like rebooting multiple times per day.
I held onto my Win98 machine for a long long time (i.e. until about 4 or 5 years ago, lol) but when I couldn't run Yahoo Instant Messenger and chat in Exploder at the same time it was time to move on. I now run XP everywhere and am more than happy with it.
Upgrading to XP is also workable. We upgraded a 320MB RAM, 650mHz processor machine from 98 to XP two or three years ago and it has worked solidly since then. A little slow at times it works perfectly for web mail and the kids' video games -- they don't get to install games on the other three more capable PCs in the house.
It seems that pollution is the cause. Specifically, soot lands on snow, the snow becomes less reflective than it was, absorbing more sunlight energy and melting more.
This is causing major environmental damage (i.e. to glaciers throughout the world). Methane release is a consequence of this, but will now have its own consequences as well.
The die is cast. Humans have majorly polluted the planet and the planet is fighting back, however gradually. I predict the final score will be planet 1 : humans 0.
I think your "fill in the pipeline hole" simplification is incorrect.
HT is more "if you write your process correctly and small enough (e.g. LAME encoder) I will only use half my processor cycles to run it" -- and 50% utilization != filling a pipeline hole (that would naturally 100% the processor).
At the risk of angering BadAnalogyGuy...I would say HT is like turning off half the cylinders in a car that is cruising at a constant speed while your analogy would be like using the engine's surplus horsepower to run a sewing machine.
Personally, I like the HT model. It is like an extension of the HLT instruction, and gives the user a quieter system, and less power usage, when it kicks in. The downside is that few applications utilize HT although Intel has claimed that HT help systems that run multiple applications at once -- definitely a Your Mileage May Vary situation.
Ok, you are the unofficial Slashdot Pied Piper of 2006 for not using an A/V or firewall but before we all rush off the cliff with you, perhaps you can explain how you determine that the file you _want_ to download is not infected with something you don't want? Yes, you have outbound stuff covered with your router but you make no mention of any inbound filtering other than your apparently perfect intuition.
[Those cursed with less than perfect cranium/ESP combinations [or children] should continue to use AVG anti-virus or equivalent, along with XP's free firewall.]
The kid who gets to meet Green Day back stage has probably forked over $300 for a concert ticket that cost me $5 to $15 when I was a kid. This sounds like music industry extortion to me. Green Day should be handing out FREE albums to anyone foolish enough to pay to go see them.
HP makes great laptops. I bought 20+ computers over the years and only the Dell (MCE) was garbage. Currently I have 2 HPs, one an UWXGA laptop that I punished for half a year yet it works perfectly.
Honorable mention to IBM, based on a now-ancient Pentium III that is still working perfectly.
I wanted a reminder program for Windows some years back and checked out the shareware programs that were available. One program (xReminder, v1 at the time) rose well above the pack (by being small in size, highly configurable, and innovative in design) and I went for it. The limit was you could only have up to 5 reminders in the shareware version. I registered it and now have 177 reminders. The author has updated it about once every year or so, there have never been bug fixes, and each major update has brought new appreciated features. He has more than earned his $20 from me.
I think the key point is _how_ the shareware is crippled. xReminder allowed for full use but maxed out the number of events -- perfect for testing it. I tested it thoroughly, was happy and bought it. Another good crippling style is to have a load delay that gets longer toward the end of the trial (although I am against 30 timeouts).
