Also cold increases brown fat wich is not fat that makes you fat but active tissue that increase metabolism.

I think that pushing out water is not so expensive. However loosing all that water will make you lighter.

Reaction pathways in body are complicated. It will convert all kind of nutrients to needed molecules. To make it more complex there is many different kind of inhibition mechanisms to limit conversions. Chemistry and physics is well understood but it will take time to map and understand all cumulative reactions.

On the other hand human kind is proven in practise that you can survive with crappy diet quite well. I don't think caveman's main reason to die was crappy diet but rather diseases and accidents.

However nowdays it is necessary, not just to survive, but feel good and make optimal procress and have good energy levels trough day.

To my experience eating less calories then you use will make you thiner. But it will also make you hungry if you eat energy rich foods. If you switch low energy foods you can eat more and it will stretch your stomach more wich tells your brain that you are full. Therefor you are not hungry anymore.

Making things even more complicated, people are not clones. Then there is the human mind screwing things and making shit up.

Google has been manipulating search results in past.

I think it is good thing to stop this kind of thing happening. I do care from business rights to do their own choises and business models. But at the same time, I do not want to live in the world where everything can and will be controlled with money.

There is expected behavior of products. Consumer can't make in depth analysis of companies all to time to figure out all their connections. Just to find out which way he/she is getting screwed this time. Protecting the consumer rights is good thing, they have rights too.

In USA corporations have way too much power. At the same time I'm very happy by not being the one who has to draw these lines.

What is thinking anyway, you go your options through pretty quickly. I think, most of the time it is just making yourself accept the situation or solution.

My weight has gone up and down trough all my life. While it has never been a big problem. It has been something I have to sometimes pay attention to. This is pretty much the formula I use to loose weight (+exercise). Stomach is pretty stupid. When it has enough food in it, it is satisfied and vegetables are good way to fill stomach. It will take time to process those foods and after three hours you are allowed to eat again.

That is actually good point. This is the problem that is going to fix it self, trough evolution. This will affect so heavily on procreation and general health, that problem will fix itself trough time. Lets just sit back and wait few million years.

Punishment is often mixed with revenge. There is no need to hurt these people or take their lives. They just need to be kept away from normal nice people, if they are not capable to follow rules. With smaller crimes there should be possibility to return society, in case they are grown up and ready to follow rules (yes this sometimes happens).

Laser beams and microwave dishes are the latest weapons in an arms race to shave milliseconds off dealing times in the shadowy world of high-speed, computerized financial trading.

Microwave signals travel through the air about 50% faster than light through optical fiber.

This law exists mainly for avoiding corruption. Not saying all those laws are good or working, but Finland is one of the least corrupted countries in EU (or bribes the right people).

It makes perfect sense, shared common data. Why keep one independent lausy dataset, when you can make one large good one together. Is this not whats open source is all about?

You DO NOT talk about FIGHT CLUB.

So who's up for a job? We need some robinhood spirited cracker to steal that data and upload it to piratebay.

Now, that would be a real world stress test for torrents ..may want to upgrade your ADSL first.

So .com is only acceptable? They have used .ms before.

Few times I have installed OS with wrong keyboard layout. This is not big problem normally. But when you switch your layout after install. You better to remember run passwd too. At least if you have many special characters in your password. Luckily I had one root shell open both times. Visible password would have prevented this close call.

No! It was coordinated exercise. Like NATO newer publicly admitted if red team had won.
