That's not remotely true. I don't know where you got that idea. In Catholicism, the doctrine is that Jesus Christ had a dual nature, both human and divine. I'm unaware of any Catholic tradition that speaks of the Eucharist as the "Body of Jesus" instead of the "Body of Christ." If you were to find one, I'd be highly skeptical that they are in communion with Rome.

Australia is about as far East as it gets. And anime/manga porn is legal in the United States, regardless of whether it depicts children or adults. That's not to say that most Americans think it's a good thing. Most, including me, condemn its existence. But a government can't prohibit books and text and illustrations unless it has the authority to prohibit books and text and illustrations, and a government that has that authority is an inherently dangerous one.

If your concept of code reuse makes the code bigger, you're doing it wrong.

If your concept of code reuse makes the code less legible, you're doing it wrong.

You ate the sandwich on the hot dog buns and the hot dogs on the sandwich rolls?

Wha?

Yes but as someone who reads Slashdot regularly, the problem is that the ratio of users who know how to use ratios vs those who THINK they know how to use ratios is approx. 1,000,000 to 1.

Which wouldn't actually be a problem, except that you're the 1.

1. Customers paying $100/mo think they are entitled to $100 worth of network services and reliability

Fixed that for you.

My MBP just turned 3-years-old a couple weeks ago, and it's in like-new condition. 2.16GHz, BTO 2GB RAM (I might upgrade this to 4GB at some point), 120GB hard drive (also an upgrade candidate).

I guess laptops don't really count for this question, since it's nearly impossible to perform a "big" upgrade on a laptop - just minor upgrades like adding RAM or a larger hard drive.

And frankly, without the large educational sector in Boston, the city would be a run-down industrial dinosaur like Pittsburgh or Detroit. There would be no thriving biotech or IT sector in Boston without all the educational spin-offs and a large pool of skilled labor.

Yeah, seriously. Kendall Square is a hugely important part of the Boston economy.

Carnegie Mellon is not a state school. Their tuition is $40,300 per year. http://www.cmu.edu/hub/sa/sa_tuition.html

It's often best to know what you're talking about before opening your mouth.

Whoops. I'm a dumb***

as long as Alfred is the only one who can use it

It does when numerous other courts since then have held opposite conclusions. If NO court had used Miranda for 20 years, and every court that had heard a Miranda case said that Miranda didn't apply, then Miranda would be probably no longer be considered good law.

No. It doesn't.

This post is extremely misleading and dangerous. Why anyone would want to propagate this lie is beyond me.

Exercise does lead to weight loss. The article cited clearly says it does. It's just that a small amount of exercise -- aerobic exercise for short periods over a mere three months, without strength training or diet changes -- is less effective than you'd want it to be. Well duh. But even in those circumstances, with all those factors stacked against weight loss, the participants still lost some weight.

A counterexample: A mildly overweight or average person, who has no heart problems and is otherwise healthy, can engage in much more vigorous exercise. An hour on the elliptical can burn approximately 700 calories. An hour in an intense gym routine can burn more (ever see those ads for LA Boxing touting the one-hour 1000 calorie workout?). Lets say you do an hour of 700-calorie cardio every morning and dont change your diet. That's an additional 3500 calories you're burning per workweek. If you give yourself weekends off and don't change your diet and don't strength train, you're still losing a pound a week, mostly of fat. If you add in proper diet -- not calorie restriction per se but just switching from soda to water or cutting out one or two greasy meals a week -- you're doing better. Add in strength training and you're be doing amazingly.

But it's not enough to just diet. The health benefits of good cardiovascular health and muscle strength are important in their own right. Things like the Hacker's Diet work to lose weight, but they are very unhealthy, even possibly dangerous. It condones a quantitative instead qualitative approach; the Hacker's Diet seems to take the position that you can eat microwave pizzas for every meal as long as you keep it under about 2000 calories. What it doesn't tell you is that in the process you'll be failing to provide muscular support for an aging skeletal system, adding cholesterol to your body, hardening your arteries, and atrophying major muscles.

I think you mean that Canada is America's toque, and America is Canada's chesterfield...
