The consensus of that video was that calories eaten vs. used/expelled is the primary factor behind weight gain, but that some types of foods contribute more to weight gain than others for various reasons. For example, fats are more easily p

1) There is no confusion -- the physical and nutritional calorie are the same thing (EXCEPT that the nutritional calorie is usually the kilocalorie, or Calorie with a capital c, while the physical calorie is the plain old calorie). You have

A Calorie is the energy needed to heat 1 kg of water by 1 degree. Given that the human body is mostly water, and produces lots of heat, a calorie is a perfect way to measure the energy content of food.

Actually, the board members have a fiduciary duty to the shareholders to maximize corporate performance. If the CEO isn't cutting it, it doesn't matter who he is, he should be fired.

You're right, none of those examples would be sufficient for a verdict. But we're not talking about verdicts here, we're talking about access to code, which occurs a long, long time before trial. Have you ever conducted discovery before, l

Now for the good news: SCOTUS is taking a patent case and is expected to invalidate method patents within the next year or two (which is pretty much all of the ones listed). EDIT: Now for the best news: Most of those patents are not America

Plants absorb water, and the water may have chemical contamination. It's exactly the same way that it works in animals. Different plants are affected to different degrees.

Quite simple: a plaintiff is not required to have complete proof of the defendant's wrongful acts prior to suing them in court. The burden would be too high, and most aggrieved plaintiffs would be unable to recover the harm caused them by

The use of the patented device/method/whatever, whether or not it is sold, is the infringement. Unwitting infringers are not subject to very harsh penalties, if any (unlike ignorance of the law, ignorance of a patent is a mitigating factor

The only solution that will make an OS virus free is to not ever release or use the OS. Indeed, even programming the OS itself could result in the introduction of viruses, so it's probably better to just leave it on the drawing board withou

That sounds just like ActiveX...which did not end the world. In fact, ActiveX is mostly just ignored today. So, by "doomed" I'm assuming you mean "not affected in any meaningful way".

That is patently false. The US allows dual citizenship with any allied or non-hostile nations. US citizenship is only lost if the person expressly disavows US citizenship when or after becoming a citizen of another nation. (US and inter

Free is not, and never has been, a defense to antitrust. Indeed, free offerings are generally considered very good evidence of antitrust: the company at issue is abusing its market power in one market to increase its market power in anothe

Studios already do that with smaller artists. You just don't hear too much about them...b/c the money scales directly with perceived commercial value. Studios chase whales because in a hit-driven industry, one successful whale will pay for

California gets back only 80% of the tax money it pays to the federal government. That amounts to several 10s of billions of dollars, given the population and wealth of the state. Put another way, California would not have a deficit right n

Weight gain is primarily induced by over-eating. That's fact . - Most post-menopausal women are not obese. Indeed, most do not gain much weight post-menopause. - Drugs, by and large, do not result in weight gain. A few drugs do, but only

MS didn't make the wrong processor choice to begin with; it was never stuck, so it didn't need to make that change. Game consoles have been around as long as, if not longer than, personal computers. For the past 10 years straight, the top
