The big thing for most people I've talked to about Ruby 1.9 is not so much when the next 1.9.x release will be, but when will most of the frequently used gems be compatible with 1.9?

The potato consumption example is hardly a contradiction. It amounts to at most speculation by a Wikipedia author as to why the "glycemic effect" may be lower in South America, with no substantiation. Potatoes are bad for people, but in S

I was not claiming benefits of the "Western diet", but instead asking for evidence that humans in history ate mostly meat instead of plants. I came up with the 95% number as an estimate based on what you wrote, as the food sources you liste

It would be good if more drivers had these advanced skills. I was amazed at the level of detail one of the referenced how-to's had on how to escape from a sinking car . Someone really thought that through, to the extent of mentioning to a

> They didn't have vegetables like potatoes or corn. It's textbook knowledge that this is an incorrect claim. Corn was developed in Central Mexico at least 7000 years ago and eaten throughout North, Central, and South America since. ht

Dr. McDougall offers for free all the information necessary to follow his program. It is linked from the front page. Direct link: http://drmcdougall.com/free.html > Pretty much contradicts everything said by the page on glycemic ind

Glycemic index is not the only determining factor of a food's worth, nor has it been shown to necessarily carry much weight at all. Glycemic load has been considered by some to be more important. Chocolate cake has been measured to have a

Nobody will escape death, but death does not have to be prolonged, painful, and miserable. Everybody has to die of something, but if people were able to pick, nobody would pick the most common causes: heart disease, cancer, and stroke. If d

Yes, it seems he really went against the establishment thinking in those early years of his work, and even his own assumptions, as he grew up on a dairy farm. He and his team initially set out to "save the third world" by providing high qu

I agree with your comment, and I want to clarify that Dr. T. Colin Campbell, author of "The China Study", is a Professor Emeritus at Cornell University, not MIT. He is likely the foremost nutritional researcher, not only of our time, but of

Do you mean naively pessimistic instead of optimistic? The interview indicates that he has a negative view towards the use of technology to replace traditional media.

Do you have a source for this? I did not know axod held similar conservative family values as myself. I am now more interested in supporting him.

Perhaps not the work alone, but the networking a standard job provides can give valuable insights into marketable ideas, through discussions on the job or at lunch.

More problems with milk: 1) It is highly allergenic. 2) Many people, such as 80% of those of African descent, cannot digest the lactose in milk. Cow's milk can therefore hardly be demonstrated as a food required for good health, when such

Perfect sense hardly appears to be an appropriate description here, when 1) No other animal drinks the milk of another animal. 2) No other animal drinks milk after being weaned. In nature there is no model for the consumption of milk of ano

The high protein itself is likely a problem, and as T. Colin Campbell's research team has shown, the casein protein found in milk is particularly linked to cancer. But there are health issues linked to milk besides cancer. For example, it i

I am well aware that some cultures do drink milk from other animals, goats being most common, but my point is that to us, drinking cow's milk only appears normal because it has been done traditionally. However, objectively, to our physiolo

by hachiya 17y ago
It is as appropriate for us to drink cow's milk as it is to drink milk from a horse or rat. T. Colin Campbell has shown very persuasively that one of the biggest problems with milk consumption is a particular protein it contains, casein.

Now if only bitlbee would add support for Facebook chat so that those of us who prefer screen+irssi for our IM contacts can keep in touch with those friends who are on Facebook. That's the #1 feature bitlbee is missing, IMHO.

This is very nice. I am interested in whether or not an open source library was used for much of the processing, or if it was written from scratch entirely. If there is no open source library available to convert stylesheets+HTML to inline

Yes, I was agreeing with you, and commenting on your parent post. Craigslist chose to exercise their right to not allow a free-for-all on their adult section.

Not everyone is aware that the First Amendment, like all the Amendments, apply to government. It prevents the government from restricting our speech, and does not dictate what kind of ads a private enterprise may choose to allow.

Is this truly crawling the sites, or querying each site's search service? e.g. for Twitter, are you crawling all the Twitter users' URLs (seems difficult to do - how do you find new accounts' URLs?), or are you fetching results from search.

They could use a proxy to "spoof" their IP. But there is no known way they could use IP spoofing to use any old IP address, as the voting app runs via HTTP, which runs over TCP, which requires a full connection, and the known spoofing atta

With an average difference of only 3 IQ points that this study found, these children appear to be missing out on little with regards to intelligence. I would be more inclined to believe any differences in intelligence, if there really are

This is a good point. If we compute the # of calories per dollar obtained from a fast food meal, it is much cheaper than the # of calories per dollar obtained from fruits and vegetables. $1.00 for a burger and fries vs $1.00 a grapefruit;

By the looks of the "ladies" in that photo, the concession stands are recession proof too. Is it just me, or are Americans more obese than ever? Not just overweight, but morbidly obese?
