Where is the essay? o.O

That is correct - A calorie, biologically, is defined as how much energy is required to increase 1 gram of water 1 degree celsius. It doesnt defy any thermodynamics at all - remember, the majority of your body consists of water.. so 10,000 calories would be enough to heat 10,000 grams of water...

Yeah, credit checks are idiotic. Even apartments are doing this.. some places refuse you unless you have a 720 credit score or higher.. its RIDICULOUS! Unfortunately there are no laws protecting us against this kind of discrimination. Someone needs to push new legislation :>

Ahh, allrighty then :) It's certainly a good idea, the controller shell.. I'm not much of a gamer, though.. I LOVE quake, and am drooling over Q4's release for the PC. Actually I'm wondering about Q4.. since they've made Q3 opensource.. hmm!

Addendum to my previous post - There are a few medical conditions that cause people to be overweight - like malfunctioning thyroid glands. But these are actually quite rare, and saying you're "big boned" isnt a medically proven reason for being fat, smile.

People are brainwashed into thinking they HAVE to be part of a dieting or exercise program in order to lose weight -- it's not true! All we really need is a little exercise. The human body has gone through a few million years of evolution, and has thrived -- I doubt we'd have survived past...

The atkins diet specifies that you can eat all the meats you want - fatty or not - as long as you severely limit and regulate your carb intake (ie: bread, crackers, etc). Which people misinterprete, and think that its OK to eat ANYTHING at all - including bacon :) This results in alot of...

I'd post mine but I'm on linux. So I'll cat /proc/cpuinfo instead :> [root@somewhere]# cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 4 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.00GHz stepping : 1 cpu MHz ...

Yeah well it only took me 10 minutes to do, so its not like I'm trying to fool anyone ;) I'm a programmer, not a graphic artist.

I added the girl in this picture. Can you tell? :) everything in the pic except the girl is original.

Hmm, I doubt that bush is planning any invasion.. This is his last term in office, he's not going to start something he can't finish. He wont get any benefit out of this. Most presidents, in their last term in office, tend to focus on getting (their) legislation passed, and try to make things...

Atkins diet is not a godsend.. It works, but boy does it give you cholestrol. So basically Atkins is solving one problem but giving another :)

Gyroscopic devices have always had problems, thats why they havent been too popular (among other reasons not related to this). However, from what I've read, they dont rely entirely on gyro sensing to tell position - apparently the units come with 2 infrared receivers at each side of the unit...

Actually thats not a mockup. I found the original pic posts on a gaming news website (didnt copy it before i closed the window sorry!). Those are authentic images from Nintendo. Not sure why IGN stamped their watermark on it.. thats a no-no!

HAHA.. :rofl:

:fruit:

Nope, not going either.

Actually theres a statute as to how far you can lie or cheat or steal, before it becomes against the law :) You cross the line, you can go to jail for a long long time. Just so happens there's no legal definition either for or against gays.. thats currently being churned out by the courts as...

Ugh.. AllDeaf is starting to feel like Gallaudet -- everyone's talking about being gay or bisexual or lesbian.. STFU!!! o.O move on.. new topic! issue's been killed and buried 203423948234 times. :giggle: :werd: :sure: :wackit: :whistle: :ugh2: :OP: :nono: :buk: :Ohno: :roll: :rl...

That controller doesnt look too comfortable to use, nor intuitive.. its like reconfiguring a car, replacing the steering wheel with a keyboard and the petals with a foot trackball.. you'd have to relearn everything, in that sense. Also, the fact that it's IR-based -- thats going to be tiring...
