Example: MSG. It is used to make rats obese so that diabetic supplies can be tested on them. It is also highly addictive. If you're trying to sell more of your product, you want it to be addictive, so you add MSG. The side-effect is that MSG causes obesity.
I may not be in shape, but even without exercise I'm pretty thin (my BMI is 20.5--5'6" and 127 lbs). Know what I eat? Vegetables, lots of them. I'm a vegetarian. If I eat a store-bought veggie burger, it's the Boca veggie ones (not the try-to-taste-like-meat kind). They're the healthiest. Usually I eat homemade lentil burgers though. Sometimes it's Subway veggie patties on wheat bread. I leave the cheese off, add spinach, tomatoes, and cucumbers, and just a little light mayo (never use regular). Chocolate soymilk is my favourite drink. It tastes like chocolate milk with an extra scoop of Ovaltine, but it has less fat than cow milk. Vanilla almond milk is really good too. I almost never eat ice cream (lactose intolerant), but I do eat a lot of chocolate (*reaches for the bag of Whoppers*). I don't live on salad, contrary to popular belief. In fact, I don't really like raw vegetables all that much, and I despise carrots, celery, and iceberg lettuce. Just keeping a nice mix of brightly coloured vegetables, fruits, and those fruits you think are vegetables works. Tomatoes, eggplant, and zucchini are probably the vegetables I eat the most. Sometimes lunch is replaced with an all-fruit smoothie, and breakfast (when I eat it) is usually a chewy granola bar. Becoming lactose intolerant meant I dropped from 5 ice creams a day to 0. I went from 140 to 125 lbs in a year without exercise on the basis of that dietary change alone. I gained a few lbs when I was eating extraordinarily large burritos with more guacamole and sour cream than is healthy on a near-daily basis, so I went back up to 130. In the last month I dropped 3 to go back to 127 thanks to school starting up (I have to walk to classes which I didn't have to do during the summer).
I am a junkfood junkie, but I do eventually either run out of chocolate or get a stomache ache from all the sugar. That's when I pull out real food. It fills my stomach, keeps my mouth occupied, and it gets rid of that sugar-pain. This bag of whoppers is almost gone. Crap.
Since when to jocks have a reputation for smarts? Maybe meatheads spend more time on exercising their body than their brain, and fat people are fat because they don't think about what they eat. It could work.
Is that the movie where they use eye scanners every time you enter a subway or anything and to get around that he steals someone else's eyes and has them put in his own head?
I've looked in the boot options in Grub (had to, I had a kernel that didn't support my ethernet card and had to boot on an old one for a bit), and there's no "single user" option in there. A password on the BIOS isn't hard to do either though. But I'll agree, stealing the hard drive can make anything easy.
On Ubuntu, you can't get past the "log in" screen without a password. If you walk up to a computer that's already logged in, you'll get a password prompt if you try to do anything administrator-ish. Either way, they only way you're getting is if you know the password.
Ah, yes IE4Linux. That's a great tool to have around when you're wondering if that nice site you coded to web standards is going to work in IE (it won't).
I got two IRL (one was my bf kidding around, the other was a guy I work with) for the comp-geek thing before, though. Well, the guy I worked with asked like 10-15 times. First cuz I speak Japanese, second cuz I have no trouble with binary, third for Linux, fourth for wireless security (oxymoron? eh...), fifth for Kismet, sixth for wanting to be a CEH...plus a few more based on music choices. That's not counting creepy old (at least 35-40 y.o....when I was 17) guys in Barnes & Noble who ask you out if you're a female programmer.
Okay, I know you're being pervy, but I heard before that it actually will. Like, if you have sex on the rag, supposedly the resultant protein will block the opening at the top of the vagina (where it connects to the cervix/uterus) and form a little wall, stopping the bleeding temporarily.
apparently japanese fonts dont work on/. for some reason....that's weird...
there's no unicode encoding on this site or what?
In Japanese however, if I want to say "The book that I read became the movie that my friend is seeing.", I could say To keep getting the same idea, you could also say (I read a book, and that book became the movie my friend is seeing) or (The book I read and the movie my friend is seeing are the same)
watashi ga yonda hon wa tomodachi ga miru eiga ni narimashita.
watashi wa hon wo yomimashita. soshite, hon wa tomodachi ga miru eiga ni narimashita.
watashi ga yonda hon to watashi no tomodachi ga miru eiga wa onaji desu.
There, that's the pronunciations of the Japanese at least
I'm good with languages. I'm studying Japanese, Russian, and Python. I used to study Spanish and Java. Learning the syntax of the machine languages is similar to learning the human language ones, but it's less complex. There is usually one way to write it in the machine language. There can be many ways to express the same idea in a human language. Now, this isn't to say that every method is the same in a machine language, just that, for instance:
for {int i = 0; i=5; i++;}
can only be written like that, maybe as i6 or without some of the spaces, but there really isn't much variation. In Japanese however, if I want to say "The book that I read became the movie that my friend is seeing.", I could say To keep getting the same idea, you could also say (I read a book, and that book became the movie my friend is seeing) or (The book I read and the movie my friend is seeing are the same) They all hold the same meaning. Programming languages don't really let you change the syntax around and still get the same meaning. They require more precision. While a person can understand someone botching their language, a computer can't. That doesn't make the human one easier though, because when someone tries to speak a foreign language which you are studying, you may only understand one way to say something and not the way they are. Since the computer syntax won't change, you can always pick through someone else's code. You have to know many ways to say something in a human language, but one will suffice just fine on a computer. Going with "getting the meaning", a computer requires that you know how to think algorithmically and can break processes into simple pieces. Human languages don't have that problem-solving aspect.
He's a good artist...who really needs to add more stuff to his deviantart account.
My site always has interesting stats. I suppose it's because I'm a doller (cartoon dolls, those little web graphics), so the other people who visit it are also dollers. Since most dollers have their own doll sites, they learn HTML and CSS and all that if they don't know it already (or get someone else to do it for them). From doing that, they learn which browsers work and which suck. From the stats of my index.html page:
78.49% use Mozilla 1.8.0.7
21.22% use Safari 419.3
0.29% use MSIE 6
Then there's the resolutions...
78.49% 1280x768
21.22% 1440x900
0.3% 1024x768
Not even 0.01% use 800x600!
They ALL have 32 bit color depth.
Mac OS X has 21.22% (ok, this is a popular number, so I think all the Macs are running Safari at that mega-huge resolution)
Windows NT 5.1 has the other 78.78% (that's XP SP2, right?)
Now, how many sites can say that less than 1/3 of 1% of visitors use IE? Very few, I'd imagine.

Well, tattoos and piercings are considered "bod mod," so why not plastic surgery as well?

Nevermind, I know what it was--Minority Report! That movie fits well here too.

But VFTs have mouths, and mimosas don't.
That's the point. IT aren't the only people who have on-call jobs and get divorces; all those other ones do too, so you can't blame just IT.
I don't know, but IceWeasel is only available as a tarball right now.
Almost all Macs are PCs, and it's been that way for a long time. If it ain't a server and it ain't a mainframe, know what it is? It's a PC!
Taxation Without Representation?Yep, that's what the license plates here in DC say.
Ah, yes IE4Linux. That's a great tool to have around when you're wondering if that nice site you coded to web standards is going to work in IE (it won't).
IceWeasel does have a few things different from Firefox. It loads faster and has more security stuff (like for cookies and redirects) built in.
I do Python, Java, and some web coding on mine...
Aren't you supposed to sit 6-8' away when playing video games?
Just one. It was during a IE7/CSS discussion.

I'm pretty sure GNU did it, seeing as it is downloadable from gnu.org and it goes with GNUzilla.
I thought RC2 was released last week. At least, I'm pretty sure I got an email from M$ saying "hey, RC2 is out, go download it".
