Comment Re:HOLY SHIT! (Score 1) 293

the doctor told him "Bacon should come with a skull and crossbones on the label..."

Then his doctor is a retarded monkey.

Too much water will kill you, too much oxygen will kill you, too much sugar will kill you.

Anyone with more than half a brain knows that TOO MUCH (of anything) is enough to kill you.

Or perhaps the good doctor somehow believes that for millions of years the ancestors of mankind ate only fish and lean white meat?

We NEED Water
We NEED Oxygen

Bacon, not so much.

You must be one lucky individual to have never had a health
care, scare or had a friend or family member that has had one.

Breast Cancer
Alzheimer's
Cystic Fibrosis

the list goes on, but gets more depressing.

I have Alzheimer's in my family. 95% my donations go to that,
5% goes to dog specific non-profits.

And on top of that, I run a non-profit for disadvantaged families.

Comment FWIW (Score 1) 405

I got into SSD's when they just barely hit $1/gig on special as they came up on Techbargains.

I would do it again at that price. The speed up was ridiculous. 3x on my old laptop, 6-8x on my
gaming computer.

Needless to say... I had a sniiif when I started seeing them @ .50c/gig on Techbargains.... ;(

But I've been doing this a while, I've payed plenty of early-adopter tax.

I was buying $600 smartphones while 98% of people were carrying stick/flip/feature phones.

It'd be nice to have all that money back now... but meh. Yolo.

Comment Re:Wipe and reinstall. (Score 1) 320

Generally XP* and older versions of windows did not rewrite the boot sector. People would install linux on a machine and then try to go back to windows and LILO would still come up. There are ways to force it to do so of course.

Ideally operating systems would ask so you could re-install a partition and not have to mess with getting everything setup.

*for Vista and Windows 7 I think you may have to as well I have not had the issue of lately

Vista and Win7 completely EFFs up a linux install.

Always try to do the linux install last.

Recovering what they do to the grub takes a bit of Live CD finagling to get back.

I wouldn't be surprised. Sedo always gave me the impression they are a seedy operation to begin with. Rumored domain frontrunning via sister division 1&1's whois search is one of them.

I always heard Sedo was GoDaddy's way of selling off domains. Have some kinda proof about the 1and1 before I cancel my 100 domains and hosting with them?

What the fuck man.

Ridiculous question.

At no point in our evolution was it designed for us to sit a long time. Your question has no answer.
ie, the answer is, what ever position works for you and doesn't kill you.

I'm sure others have mentioned standing. But... once again... we weren't designed to stand either.
We are an animal that was expected to be on the move at all times.

Standing will give you:
Varicose Veins
Popped capillaries
Edema
and still even the chance of DVT

Only thing that can be added, take daily aspirin, 80mg or so, to prevent the stroke you are going to get one day.

(My wife died from too much sitting. Literally. DVT behind her knee, broke off, went into lung, Pulmonary embolism
was a result. Upon surgery, part of the clot made its way to her brain. 3 blockages... coma. Few weeks later, and
I'm a widow. Extenuating circumstance? None that Dr would ever admit to. My consolation prize? Nearly 100 grand
in stuff the insurance wouldn't cover. )
