Corporate content aggregation, and new flocks of sheep to drink from those content streams are one phenomenon.

"Entrepreneurs" re-inventing IRC every two weeks with more emoticons is another. Can we simplify every "internet innovation" into three bullets?
1) threaded forums -> TCP -> Usenet -> every news service ever (time-buffered data delivery)
2) "get hails" -> UDP -> IRC -> every chat service ever (real-time data delivery)
3) hypertext -> HyperCard -> WWW -> links (glue that connects everything)

And I'll argue "content aggregation" is just a fancy .* glob, so pre-net.

I had a very similar experience last year, gradually dropping 40 lbs over 8 months.
Very simple habit changes: exercise slightly more, eat slightly less.

Like the TFA, I found it very useful to weigh myself EVERY DAY (I used the Wii Fit.)
Checking your weight is easy; subconscious reactions to this knowledge made of lot of difference for me.

Comment Re:Non-Windows drivers? (Score 1) 179

(TFA:) ...the operating system prevents multiple graphics drivers from running 3D applications at the same time.

Multiple GPUs from different vendors could work if they ported this technology to OS X... where multiple graphics drivers have happily coexisted for years.

(Getting an arbitrary application to understand it is running on multiple GPUs is a whole separate problem...)
