I noticed that too. My wife didn't think it was possible that I could be that sensitive to HFCS. But then she saw me drink a Mt Dew, then fall asleep 20 minutes later, then be totally awake 40 minutes after that. I suspect it's the fructose and has something to do with the way some people process it. Fructose needs glucose to process, so I think that when I consume fructose, it pulls glucose from blood to process it. That seems to cause a blood sugar crash in me. The effect was so pronounced that people around me thought I was a narcoleptic (it's even in my military service record).

After I cut out HFCS, I haven't had a problem with it and feel much more awake and alert all day. I don't even need caffeine anymore.

Even stranger, if you do a Google search for "search engine", Bing, Altavista, and Ask.com all show up ranked higher than the first Google-related site.

In my experience, those officers get promoted. That way, they can do less damage in the field next time.

We can do this all day long, but it won't get us any closer to the truth, scientifically. Science depends on empirical evidence to form theories, not just generalized and often conflicting aphorisms.

"You said CO2 twice."

"I like CO2."

On the day Steam is released for Linux, I'll be torching the Windows XP partition on my desktop, since I will have no further use for it.

You would seriously buy a game you hate playing just to try for a possible million dollar prize? Do you also eat at McDonald's just to play their Monopoly game?

It's not necessarily a fraud. It took them a while to verify the winner's results. If he had been disqualified in any way after they declared that a winner had been found, then the promotion would have ended prematurely, possibly without a winner.

If I had heard about this promotion in advance, I would've assumed that I'd have to buy the game the day it came out to have any chance at the prize. After a week, I would've expected there to be numerous potential winners. It's common knowledge that there are a lot of dedicated gamers out there with lots of time on their hands to beat challenges like the perfect game here. I think any reasonable person would ignore the promotion after a few days.

Merely mentioning Nazis or the Third Reich doesn't automatically Godwin a thread. One has to make a comparison of a particular post or person to the Nazis as a way of insulting them or an ad hominem.
Here's a reference.

I'm glad they told us the weight of the satellite. That sounds like really important information. There's no way we could know if the observatory was fit for science if we didn't know it weighed more than three Volkswagens.

I can understand their zeal with keeping to a consistent release schedule. One of the reasons for starting the project was that Debian releases were slowing down and unpredictable. The steady release schedule is somewhat like public transportation: nobody will use a bus or train system if it operates on an erratic timetable, no matter what the benefits are.

That said, I think you're right about letting the LTS slip a month or two here or there. But that's probably unnecessary for their other releases.

I got a Kingston 64GB SSD for ~$150 from an online retailer about a month ago. SSD prices are already coming down, just a bit more slowly than people would like. Aside from memory, it's the best upgrade I ever bought for my laptop, too.
