Comment Re:Camera? (Score 5, Informative) 152

The biggest problem with cell phone cameras is that the pixels are small and not sensitive. HTC decided to go with fewer, bigger pixels that collect more light and are more sensitive. I'd much rather have a 4 MP picture with less grain and noise than an 8 MP picture with more grain and noise. After all, you only look at the pictures at around 2 MP max.

Little known fact: the President is actually the head of the executive branch of government, which contains agencies such as the ATF and DOJ. And since he's the head of those departments he can set policy for those departments within the confines of their legislation!

Mind = blown right?

Comment Lots of ways (Score 1) 212

My PCs are fully backed up to my WHS every night. The WHS itself backs up nightly to a USB drive. The WHS backup, most of the WHS data, and PC backups are synced to another USB drive that lives in my office and comes home about once every two weeks.

The WHS data is backed up online to CrashPlan, except my movies, which are backed up to another external drive that lives at a friend's house.

I also have a bunch of stuff, mostly documents and notes, in Dropbox which is backed up online, to 4 different PCs, and is included in my nightly PC-to-WHS backups.

So every piece of data I have is backed up to three places, except the movies which are backed up to only two.

They are seasoned with salt and pepper at the time of grilling. They are considered an add-on, the way mayonnaise may be.

Here's the actual McDonald's ingredient statement:

"100% Beef Patty:100% Pure USDA Inspected Beef; No Fillers, No Extenders. Prepared with Grill Seasoning (Salt, Black Pepper)."

The patties are, literally, nothing but meat of adult cow.

The USDA definition of "beef" is "Meat from full-grown cattle about two years old. “Baby beef” and “calf” are interchangeable terms used to describe young cattle weighing about 700 pounds that have been raised mainly on milk and grass."

Beef is the meat of an adult cow. Period. Nothing else can be sold as beef.

McDonald's burger patties are made of 100% beef. That is, they're made of nothing but the meat of adult cows. When cooked, they add a blend of salt and pepper to the patty.

Here is their legal ingredient statement:
"100% Beef Patty: 100% Pure USDA Inspected Beef; No Fillers, No Extenders. Prepared with Grill Seasoning (Salt, Black Pepper)."
