Oh come now! What you posit requires a bit of time and an an attention span longer than that a gnat... all of which interferes with efficient, knee jerk, first snark type responses.
That won't help me much (for example), because besides having metabolic syndrome I also have a hyperuricemia problem: too much protein and some fats will lead me to gout.
So basically I can drink water. For the moment...
You might want to check with a Nephrologist. My GFR was down to 44 (not good) and seeing a kidney specialist and his dietitian put me on the right track. They are chemists, and they explain things from that point of view... it's really helpful. My GFR is now back in the safe zone but I'll be babying my kidneys from now on. I also have gout and take allopurinol and watch out for trigger foods, pork fat and something in Wyler's light drinks are two of mine. Too much protein is bad, and vegetable protein is better than animal as far as my kidneys are concerned. Beans with rice or lentils with barley give a complete protein and are much easier on the body, more on that here: http://www.wikihow.com/Combine-Food-to-Make-Complete-Protein. Good Luck.
I think it means three things: "Why do people use Mint when Ubuntu is better in every way? Some people think the only answer is 'Cinnamon' . Ubuntu should port that over so they are the awesome and Mint can die"
I agree with your interpretation. I even (unlike you, probably) kind of agree with the original author's point. I would be pretty happy if the Ubuntu team offered Cinnamon as an alternative of Unity. But of course they never will, because they specifically developed Unity to replace Gnome in the first place, thus creating all this demand for Cinnamon and Linux Mint.
and now we're telling the folks at Mint to go fork themselves? {ducks}
In the US some states use an EBT card for things like food stamps and cash assistance. I have rarely seen an ID check when those are used... but it would be a lot harder to use the iris of another person.
Interestingly, the first link really talks mostly about Linux as a target, the word Android is not on the page. I find this more disturbing than a phone attack... in an "all your base are belong to us" sort of way.
We discarded that idea do to a sneeze causing down shifting.. interestingly, an orgasm causes the car to self park and start serving streaming video...
Mine is even safer! You touch the steering wheel with your nose to change gears. This way your hands remain on the wheel at all times. There is an issue with airbag deployment while shifting but the workaround is simple, don't be the person driving at that time.
We got to the point that you have to roll your own BIOS. So we have already lost, for if we go to all that trouble, we will have the only secure machine, as far as we know... and what will we hook it to?
While I'll admit I'm a little bummed out that I'm not Tony Stark, I refuse to be sorry for the fact. If I had to be sorry for any of the real people I'm not, it would take a very long time as I can't even count the number of people I am not. If we add fictitious people to the mix then that just makes it worse...
I am gonna admit this in public... So, I just checked and I did, indeed, have belly button lint. I surely can't be the only one who checked or will I be the only one who admits it?
Oddly, it was blue. I'm wearing a green shirt and I'm quite positive that I showered today. I have no idea where/why I accumulated blue lint in my belly button. I'm half-tempted to take a picture.
See! This is the kind of data Yahoo could begin classifying... They could even get experts to tell us that the lint is not really blue, it is a color that absorbs all other wavelengths and only reflects blue light back to the... OMG.. observer!
That lint may or may not have existed until you checked! This makes a lot of sense. Whomever is in charge of such cosmic minutia had to do a rush job because they did not expect you to check... so you got the wrong color. I'm going to have to skip my meds more often... things are slipping through the cracks. Crap,now I'm wondering if someone on the other side of the cracks is collecting lint for emergencies like the one you precipitated today. Oh, forgot to say belly button lint is slightly water repellent... it can survive a shower... something you would have know if Yahoo would get back to their core business... turning investments into belly button lint so they can classify the stuff.
You know... it being a search engine company and all.
A shareholder activist is demanding that Yahoo get rid of its board of directors and sell the search engine to focus the core business on... something else.
The navel lint classification field seems to be wide open...

Forgot to mention, I do install updated drivers when needed (Hello changelog), but I don't let MS do it for me. If they want to update an Intel graphic driver, I hide the update and go look to see if it is needed.

You may be right. And stop calling me Surly.
Yes, that was over the top. While not obviously surly, you do seem a bit demanding...
Surely you agree...
I know Shirley does...

Normally I'm fairly chill about typos, but that's an awfully niche Chosen One you're pitching.
From context I'd say the furry was pitching...
and I don't want to think about the rest of it...
Dammit, you beat me to the obligatory "sexbot" comment! Wait until the Japanese get there hands on this!
Yeah... their hands...

Well that's what the box was for damit!
Some people just want everything...
"Cox Communications should take this case all the way to the US Supreme Court."
Which is now no longer majority controlled by the Oil & Pharma Party, but by appointees of the Hollywood & Lawyer Party. Good luck with that.
That's a pity. An Oil & Pharma Party sounds like more fun than the other one...
How much would it cost to print a RealDoll-type sex toy on one of these? I'm asking for a friend.
OK, printing a sex doll will cost a lot...
Printing a friend?
Priceless!

The possesive form of "it" is "its". They must have meant "its". This is a common mistake.
Indeed, its is so possessive...
How possessive is its?
Its not only wants its apostrophe, its wants all its s's in possessive!
ssh -X is seriously is the slowest shit. Barely usable on a 100 megabit LAN even with compression enabled.
Your basement stuffed full of old Pentium 3 boxes does not count.

I might suggest that is probably because you are not Canadian.
Ah, the unapologetically apologetic card, well played!

Well I'm sorry. I'm not Tony Stark.
