How fricking complicated is it to eat less than you burn?

Like I stated above, having an office job and not exercising, one would only need ~1300 calories for equilibrium. Eating under that, let alone 300-500 calories less than that to start shedding fat is not only HARD, it may be damn well impossible for some people

East less calories? Gotcha.

The problem isn't so much "too many calories" consumed, but that the sedimentary lifestyle people are accustomed doesn't require even close to the 2000 calorie "standard diet". If you drive to work, sit behind a desk all day, go home and even do mundane, unimpactful chores, like vacuuming and wiping things down, and average person would be lucky to need maybe 1200-1300 calories as their TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure). Even drinking nothing but water, and consuming mostly calorie empty foods like lettuce/salad, you still need your macronutrients, which when adding carbs and fat now will take you to your quite low TDEE with very little food/effort.

Shit man. We had this argument about VB6 back when rock was cool. No one listened then either

You mean using C++ like it is compiled javascript? pffffffffffffffffff

If I were to do something, I'd focus on price/quality as opposed to volume

Absolutely. I love these games, but the instruments are complete shit. I have never once even had a drum set for these games that could handle the input fast/reliable enough for the hardcore levels. The buttons on the guitars are so far apart as if they were made to be used by Sasquatch.

These folks has some busted RAM, but all is good because it's ECC

How will this work for the likes of Tracfone and subsidiaries? There is never really a debt to begin with.

Wow. Senators have never lied or been flat out ignorant when testifying before congress /s

At least you will get an actual accelerated video driver instead of framebuffered X

Right, and a planet full of Hulks would kill itself off, supporting the gamma ray hypothesis.

Hulk is invincible

AVG is a Freemium minefield. May as well be WeatherBug. Serves a purpose, but ultimately adware

Eventually I fired up a Windows machine and did it in about five minutes with some commercial trial-ware that nagged me with ads when I installed it.

The reason being that Windows is more than an OS and a collection of predictable platforms. A video on Windows is a video, accessed through the appropriate API. You don't dynamically link to half a dozen libraries, hope they are there, and crash (or demand installation) when it isn't. You install the codec and now everything can deal with it.

This is ultimately the problem with linux. There is no defined platforms anywhere. Software that wants to use anything can't ever guarantee that it will be there. They aren't part of the OS, but rather, part of the users defined installation.

My youngests computer died, and I ended up replacing it with a Biostar A68N-5000. It was $70 shipped. It is fanless and draws very little power. I imagine this is just a further iteration of the technology.

GTK actually has lots of good widgets for 'data' not sure what that means exactly

It means he wants databound controls. As in, widgets that update themselves when the dataset changes and changes the dataset when the widget is manipulated
