  • No, THEY are the Stupid Ones   6 days 4 hours ago

    I've been hearing a lot about iPad, and it seems it has captured a lot of attention lately. It's like a lot of people were excited to have one! And you're definitely right, it will only give you 70% of what you want. People tend to get excited whenever there's a new thing out in the market, without even realizing what they can really get from it or if that would really satisfy them or even fulfill their expectations. The reality is a lot of people are always looking forward to get new things and be updated.

    People deserve very good life time and business loans or sba loan can make it better. Because people's freedom is grounded on money.

    is that "words mean

    just because a bunch of

    "natural selection" can be
    considered (part of) a _form_ of
    intelligent design. there is
    certainly intelligence involved
    in producing higher ordered
    systems from lower ordered systems.

  • Sendmail as SMTP AUTH client for ISP mail server relay   1 week 2 days ago

    Thx a lot for the guide. But I had to change one bit before it worked:
    In the entry for the authinfo file, I had to omit the brackets around the remote relay name. I.e. in the example above the entry should start with 'AuthInfo:smtp.bellsouth.com', not with 'AuthInfo:[smtp.bellsouth.com]'.

  • Drink Diet Coke to Gain Weight   1 week 6 days ago

    Diet Coke has been a "faithful friend" that got me through college exams and stressful work schedules over the past 15 years. At times, I was drinking 5 - 7 diet sodas daily. Three years ago I gave up DC for 1 year when I decided to get fit and be healthier. I started working with a nutritionist and fitness trainer (who's also a former Mr. America). I learned to eat "clean" -meaning avoiding processed foods, white flour, sugar. At first, I thought my trainer was nuts to suggest I quit Diet Coke. But I missed the bigger impact it was having on my health. When I finally cut it out, yes, I started to lose weight and feel great. But more importantly, my appetite was under control, cravings in check, great energy, fewer body pains. I thought it was just due to the weight loss...until I started drinking Diet Coke again and noticed the return of the headaches, cravings, appetite, brain fog and bloating. I also noticed it seemed linked to mild depression that had gone away and returned. I was not even aware of it until I quit and started drinking it again.

    My OB/GYN is also an endocrinologist and she indicates I'm allergic to artificial sweetners. I've noticed Splenda and Aspartame make me very sick. She confirms what others say about the inflammation and insulin response and cravings related to artificial sweetners.

    I'd say this isn't just limited to Diet Coke or artificial sweetners. A majority of boxed and pre-pared foods have so many artificial additives. I'm just rejecting all this processed Franken-food junk. Coupled with our stressful lifestyles it must all take a toll.

    I agree with other posts that moderation is a piece of this. Moderation just hasn't worked for me because with Diet Coke or anything with artificial sweetners. I've even noticed that if I eat something with a lot of sugar in it, I'll have a reaction that feels similar to being drunk. Yes, I'll consume these items, but I am aware of any consequences, usually headache. I typically on use stevia as a sweetner as a result, or sugar in small quantity.

    The biggest things I've learned in this experience are that eating clean, getting enough sleep, moderate exercise are the 3 keys to maintaing healthy weight. Diet Coke once in awhile, just like other indulgences, is fine. Everyone is different so some may tolerate more. This is just my experience, for what it is worth. Hope it helps someone else.

  • No, THEY are the Stupid Ones   2 weeks 9 hours ago

    But my argument is the iPad will win, right up until people want something else.

    Here is where the iPad fails: it isn't disposable. The Kindle and the other eInk "reader" devices aren't there yet, but they are on a trajectory to reach "disposable" tech -- like calculators. In another year or so they will be $70, then $30, then throwaway. The iPad wants to be a general computer, but isn't.

    People will buy it, use it, then realize they want a "Tablet Computer" and buy something better. Maybe Apple will make that, maybe they will buy an Android device. Either way, once something else does NetFlix, Hulu or Amazon video, and reads books from every store, the game is over.

    Amazon doesn't care about Razors, they sell Blades. They ship Android "Kindle" that runs on the Nook, and they don't care. They just want to sell the books to iPhone, iPad, (a throw away priced) Kindle, the Nook, whatever.

  • No, THEY are the Stupid Ones   2 weeks 13 hours ago
    yep

    You are completely correct. The iPad is an appliance. But it's what 90% of people want, and will one day replace the laptop for most people. That's the world we need to be prepared to live in.

  • Dumb as we wanna be   2 weeks 1 day ago

    There is no distinction between "Intelligent Design(c)" and intelligent design. Trying to make one is pretty ridiculous. The DI came up with the term, and with all the arguments for it, and everything behind it.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent_design

    Every actual scientific review has deemed it pseudoscience. You can believe in cryptozoology, esp, ghosts, id (and other creation myths), and whatever other made up stuff you *want* to believe in, for your own reasons, but that doesn't make any of it science.

  • Dumb as we wanna be   2 weeks 1 day ago

    when i said "intelligent design"
    i didn't mean Intelligent Design(c).

    and Darwins work is seriously flawed.
    (as he himself pointed out).

  • Dumb as we wanna be   2 weeks 1 day ago

    Intelligent design, evidence, nope.

    Sorry, but there is absolutely ZERO actual scientific evidence that ID "exists" or has any basis in any fact whatsoever. Despite what Behe and Dembski have said and published from the Discovery Institute (creationism advocacy group) pulpit. None of that is accepted peer reviewed valid science, none. No matter how much anyone wishes it were, it's not, science isn't about personal biases and wishes.

    The scientific community would welcome any actual contribution to the debate about how species evolve, or biology in general, but the ID movement is not interested in that. Instead they are interested in a mythical imaginary friend that "created" species, they offer no evidence as to who said creator is, they offer no counter evidence to the mountain of science backing up all of biology - evolution and natural selection, and instead their stated goal is to get creationism back into schools (DI memos and internal documents prove that in court cases).

    (And EVERY scientific theory "needs serious revision" that is the point of science -- though I would argue natural selection is one of the most solid theories we have ever had, concerning anything in terms if evidence and empirical tests backing it up. But that is a SEPARATE debate.)

  • Dumb as we wanna be   2 weeks 2 days ago

    i have no problem with intelligent design,
    i believe the evidence shows that it exists
    ( in nature ). but the evidence that "God"
    exists seems lacking. ( babel-fish, anyone? )

    otoh, the Darwinian model is in need of
    serious revision...

    Thanks dude, your article was really helpful to me!
    Indeed, Google could have done a better job documenting the database aspect of Android.

  • Dumb as we wanna be   2 weeks 6 days ago

    I am not sure who that comment was directed at, and personally would not be that harsh, but basically, yeah, I agree. Science and ID are completely separate, ID is faith, and faith and science are by definition entirely opposite things.

  • Debugging external Java processes with Eclipse (GWT example)   2 weeks 6 days ago

    I was trying to get the GWT 2.0 devmode up with -noserver option so that I could use external Tomcat server which I would be using in production.
    Everything works fine if you use the built-in server and default GWT project structure. But I have my own project setup and did not want to change it just to be able to use GWT and its devmode. With this setup I just couldn't get the debug mode to work. I tried a lot of things I found on the net, some very hairy ones too, none worked!

    Your article proved quiet useful. It's simple, neat and generic. Its not even tied to a particular version of GWT or for that matter even GWT.

    Great article!!

  • Dumb as we wanna be   3 weeks 22 min ago

    Oh my... Another ID zombie. ID and Religion are the same. The data that you are trying to interpret is nothing else than telling fairytales. Why are dino bones older than the predicted age of the earth? Because scientifically proven test methods are flawed? Or even better: Because God hid them to test our faith! Yeah... that is way better an explanation for us than Darwin's theory.

    Please, stop mixing ID with a few scientific lines to make it sound more sciency! If you want to "believe" then do it. But do not mix it with science, since these to things do not go well together.

    In fact, medicine suggests that religiuos beliefs are in fact a malfunction of the brain. Which makes sense... or do you believe in the easterbunny? No? Of course not, it is ridiculous. Have you seen one, yet?
    But you believe in a virgin giving birth to a god, who was his own father, who decided to be human, was killed and then resurrected three days later? Yeah... that makes sense... in your world...
