Come on along and be impressed, the alibi of broadband. Australia has to have the best, the alibi of broadband. It will connect to everyone, in every home or nearly. It's going to be a heap of fun, it's going to cost us dearly.
When the brand new broadband comes to town, it won't be that much quicker. A special filter slows it down, to catch the porn. Must ask Kevin, one thing we don't understand. With the net so full of crap, who needs broadband?

reduce, reuse, cycle. can you beat 0.59 tonnes? Actually, I score 0.45 tonnes of CO2:-)
How? Easy, just build yourself a solar powered, work from home life.
In 5 years I will be carbon negative (watching the wood lot trees grow)
while most slashdotters will still be waiting for technology to deliver cheap
easy solutions to the urgent problems of oil and CO2.
Carpe diem!

If your grandchildren are ever born, they will have short sharp lives but be thankful for the crude shelter of their mud hut.
I say, I want everyone on the planet to have SUVs and McMansions, if they choose. Technologically, we can do that, if we go nuclear power now. Everything else is just a joke. Since we will see peak oil within a decade and will experience peak copper, peak fresh water etc within your lifetime AND your children will be left to deal with peak Uranium, 20m sea level rise, vast desertification and global temperature increase of 6C, how _exactly_ do you propose we eliminate 95% of the world population?
Oh right, business as usual. Problem solved.
And then they proceed telling that the Pico-ITX board is 10cm x 7.2 cm... GARGH. What a disonant mish-mash of metric conversions.
A full-sized ATX motherboard is 12" x 9.6" (305mm x 244mm)
and Mini-ITX is 17cm x 17xcm...
Nano-ITX... is 12cm x 12cm
Pico-ITX... measures in at an incredible 10cm x 7.2cm I can easily gauge metric and ftinch measurements, so could visualize the sizes but WTF is
...the 10mm x 7.2mm footprint... It stands on a stamp sized foot?
Each time you eat, insulin is released into the bloodstream. This vital hormone, secreted by special cells in the pancreas, encourages your tissues-particularly your muscles-to gobble up the glucose surging through the bloodstream after a meal. That's good, because glucose hanging about in the blood is dangerous stuff. It can stick to proteins and destroy their ability to do their job. Blindness, kidney damage and amputations may result.
But insulin has another vital role. After a meal, it stops the liver from releasing any fat, a potential metabolic fuel, into the blood. Why after a meal? It turns out that just like glucose, these fats are dangerous if they hang about in the blood too long. They are released as triglycerides, carried within molecular escorts known as very low density lipoproteins, or VLDLs. But in the blood they become altered biochemically in a way that makes them more likely to stick to artery walls.
And of course once the arteries become narrowed by such fatty plaques, a heart attack may not be far away. These fats are particularly undesirable in the bloodstream just after a meal because the enzymes that can safely remove them from circulation are busy dealing with fat from the food youve just eaten. The road to syndrome X begins with frequent high-energy snacks, exposing the liver to insulin for long periods without a decent break.
When insulin is present for long periods, it flicks a metabolic switch in the liver that prevents it from inhibiting triglyceride secretion. Instead, perversely, insulin stimulates the liver to release even more triglycerides, carried within heart disease promoting VLDLs.
It's a vicious cycle; the excess triglycerides make muscle cells insulin-resistant, interfering with the signaling pathway that normally allows them to soak up glucose from the blood. As a result, more insulin needs to be secreted, and full-blown syndrome X is fast approaching. Eventually your adipose cells-bombarded with extra calories to store in the form of triglycerides and glucose-succumb to insulin resistance too. In a final twist, the overloaded fat cells flood the blood with fatty acids that in turn start killing the insulin-secreting pancreatic cells.
Insulin levels plummet; glucose accumulates in the blood even between meals-and a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes is made. If you fail to change your diet and lose weight, the destruction of insulin-secreting cells continues apace. Eventually, daily injections of insulin are needed just to keep you alive. Its a frightening scenario, but you can do something about it. For a start, you can exercise to use as many of our muscles as possible, and to help them use up the extra fatty fuel.
A moderate amount of daily exercise might even prevent the dramatic rise in blood triglyceride levels that happens when healthy volunteers are switched to a high-sugar diet. Your liver has evolved to cope with infrequent meals. You should try to eat less often-leaving a good 4 or 5 hours between meals and cutting out snacks. Two meals a day could be better for you than continual snacking.

Perhaps you'd prefer "thonger"?
