Comment Re:There's another treatment that stops most T2 (Score 4, Insightful) 253

Bullshit, I've been doing it for 2 years now and healthy food is fine, it tastes like food, not random chemicals and slop.

It's actually not that difficult to cook something healthy and quickly in a short amount of time once you actually put the effort in for a couple of months, a quick and simple food routine is great.

It's called eating well, exercising and losing a significant amount of weight.
I know, I came very very close to having it. Break the sugar addiction, quadruple your vegetable intake, vastly reduce your sugar / heavy foods intake and do a little, tiny bit of basic light exercise.

In a couple of years, guess what,...?

Couldn't agree more on the kids thing, I've been following that way of thought for many years.

This quote from The Matrix is unfortunately sadly on point.
I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague and we are the cure.

Fuck them
Fuck them in their stupid assess. I don't give a shit about the "baytrail tablets and laptops" If you are purchasing 32bit only hardware in the last 4 years, fucking shame on you and if intel don't or didn't have a 64bit alternative, you shouldn't have bought intel.

32bit OS's should've been dead 5 years ago, this bullshit needs to stop.

Subject says it really. Win7 shouldn't have shipped with a 32bit version, Windows 8 definitely should not have shipped with a 32bit version and for goodness sakes, Windows 9 most god damned definitely should not be shipping with a 32bit version.

Can we finally get a single unified build here? It's time to let it go.

I already can't see the pixels even up ultra close on an iphone 5, I have difficulty on my Samsung Galaxy S3 and both of those displays are only "fairly good" by the new mid 2014 phone standard which is up to over 500ppi

You want to impress me, get OLED happening everywhere, I've done the reading, I understand the tech, the colour range, refresh rate and incredibly black blacks are awesome.

Also, 2d / 3d graphics processors are going to melt pushing this many pixels sooner or later :/

Completely unsustainable under the assumption people are allowed to continue to breed as they currently do.
If every human on earth were to have the same luxuries which many of us do in the west (I'm typing this from my 1 bedroom apt, it's heated, I'm sitting on a $1000 comfortable office chair, behind 4 monitors, I saw a doctor today for free) then the entire world would collapse in about 11 minutes.

Maybe, just maybe if the machines did all the work AND we stopped our endless population / consumption, we might be ok - while we pillage what natural resources are left - but I suspect we're all mostly fucked regardless.

It's been discussed before, it's not the end of the world.

What _IS_ fucking stupid is Google utterly ruined the SMS application for shitty hangouts _AND_ they still haven't cloned / stolen the functionality of iMessage properly. For goodness sakes, just copy Apple already. The Apple solution is how it should work, attempt IP based message, if it fails revert to SMS //__and make it fucking seamless to the end user__//

Hangouts is an abortion, honestly as someone who switch to Android 3 years ago now, I'm really getting tired of Google focusing on un-important shit and worrying about uglifying things than improving stuff.

Comment I hate to admit XKCD was right, but....goddamnit (Score 1) 116

The prevalence of the passwords requiring uppercase, lowercase, punctuation etc is ridiculous as more and more sites and servers I use are requiring it.

I'm going to make an assumption here and I bet I'm I'm right. (I have NO idea!)
The VAST majority of security breaches are due to poorly patched software / bugs / social engineering / angry staff etc.
I'd wager very very few password hacks are due to people having the password
"momspajamas2212" instead of "M0mspaJAMas22!2"

I will say I'm finding the only way to still remember my passwords on sites now is to start using pattern based passwords, example "$RFV%TGB4rfv5tgb" (try typing that) - it's not ideal but I can remember the bastard thing. (I hope this helps someone else out, I gave it out to someone recently and they adopted something similar pretty much instantly and yes, I know you could add patterns to the dictionary)
