    you can add sugar as one major problem, trans-fat and saturated fat as well.

    Combination of certain type of food have disastrous effect.

    I went on a diet that used the concept of eating certain type of foods in specific combination and i lost weight and no exercise was involved whatsoever.

    And most of this Diet did not include Vegetable or small portions of food (it's not the atkin diet).

    The sport is just good for general health but is not a requirment for losing weight, it helps that's all.

  4. Re:Somewhat odd. on Wikipedia May Require Proof of Credentials · · Score: 1

    Because it infringes on people who actually have degrees or are part of organisation that are legally authorized to discuss certain matters because they have the proper skills and or Degrees that make them authority in their respective dpt.

    If anyone can say anything and that goes into an encyclopedia then the content of that book (in this case e-encyclopedia) has no base in real life and cannot be taken into account.

    juts look at petition on the web, it has no value, why? because i could post 10 000 names with fakes e-mail addresses if i wanted to and that goes for wikipedia as well, it's not because it sounds true or fit into what someone might value as real that it is.

    When you dont control who writes what, you cant be sure that it's true. For sure i would not block anyone but maybe have separate place where knowledge base is split between REAL specialist with REAL credentials and others that may or may not be real until proven otherwise.

  10. Re:As a webmaster on Microsoft Vista, IE7 Banned By U.S. DOT · · Score: 1, Troll

    IE7 sucks like shit, other than it's a copy from Firefox, it has numerous issues with other product mainly Outlook 2003 and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

    It is irrational to install IE7 without testing it with other software, adding too much securities can seriously impair web base application and if you deploy this on a large number of user that uses those web base application, better get ready to do overtime getting that first stupid setting setup page and all the pop-up and active x blocker done, the user wont do it.

    Whatever you do in computer except maybe programmer, you'l have to do tech support over the phone, mess around computers and stuff.

    Sure there are companies who have different levels so the third level ususally doesnt do house call for basic stuff but i think in smaller companies someone can get his kicks doing all levels, menial task are sometimes fun to do because they usually dont require a lot of head bashing, just doing big server job can get to you and the stress level is moslty always high.

  17. Re:New Generation of Multitaskers on How IT Increases Productivity · · Score: 1

    Dont know about you but there are a lot of studies out there that say otherwise about multitasking, saying that spending less time on multiple projects in the long run is not beneficial, you end up doing less on all the job and maybe forgetting about some stuff while some people do the same thing better while giving a 100% percent on a task, sure there will always be side jobs.

    And what are we talking about when you say multitasking? i'm thinking that it means that at the same time you are handling several projects or doing several things at the same time talking over the phone while typing on a computer is fine but i'm pretty sure you cant handle someone talking to you at the same time while over the phone and typing on your keyboard, something is bound to fail. THAT would be multitasking.

    And if i wanted to make it sound more unrealistic i would say that only a machine with dual processor can really multitask since it has two brains processing data at the same time, you dont, speed may be seen as multitasking but all your really doing is taking one task at a time and completing it faster but your not really doing all those things at the same time.

    I think it,s a misconception on what the word means.

  18. Re:Simple answer: YES on Award-Winning Ad Taken Off Air In Australia · · Score: 1

    First you probably are not a parent and trying to explain to a two year old the difference between what's real and what,s not is a little bit tricky.

    For sure at 8h30 in the evening the 2 year old should be in bed but what about the 3,4 5 6 year old who might try to get the car keys and get into the car. This has happened and some with serious consequences.

    If you look back at your own childhood, i'm pretty sure you can find some stuff your parent told you and explained to you not to do but given the chance you would have done the exact opposite so dont blame all the parents, you can teach and explain your kids about danger and death but they dont grasp that until they are a little bit older.

    I'm not saying it's just the broadcaster's fault but when the television is open and your kid is watching it, you cant control everything that pops on that screen because your not always in front of the screen with them.

  21. Re:What's the solution? on From Bess to Worse · · Score: 1

    I think they object because they are counting on those errors, mistype and such. A lot of pornsite rely on these errors (monority i guess)

    Either implement by law the .xxx or implement some kind of tag on the website like a digital thing signaling that this site needs to be viewed by 18 year old and have that feature embedded in every known browsers so it can activated for the kids.

    O.k all companies that produces blocking software would go under since it would come with the browser but at least, that way, you could safely block anything and if a website has no rating then it is the ISP itself that breaks the law since they would be held responsible for not tagging the website with the appropriate age rating.
