I misread the post, actually.

I hardly define "balanced" an approach which divides the world in "those who agree with what I stand for" and "those who disagree with what I stand for".

> No-one internalises feedback if in their heart of hearts they don't agree with it, although they might pretend to to appease their boss.

This is not true. One may accept feedback to try a different perspective than his own, which may be effective... or not.

The reference to the wikipedia article is misleading, and practically false.

Practicing physical activity indirectly increases a series the expenditure for the basal life processes, so it increases the calories consumption more than the raw amount of energy spent doing it.

The star characters corrupted the text. The first '=' is a note after "working solution", the second after "more challenging".

Seems like to me that almost (probably) all nutrition articles try to find a silver bullet to beat obesity/overweight.

My theory is that modern culture keeps searching such illusory silver bullets because acknowledging the working solution, which is practising sports and stop eating junk food (fast food, fat food, sweets) would be much more challenging.

=of course clinical cases must be dealt separately =given a certain cultural context. in a more healthy cultural context, eating cleanly is much easier.

Happens to me as well - Amazon's service mails are marked straight as spam. Even always taking them out of the spam folder didn't stop it (I was expecting the filter to do some sort of automatic adjustment). Very curious.

Confirmed here. I've chosen a Thinkpad x200s over a MacBook Pro.

Advantages of an x200s over a MacBook Pro 13": - high screen resolution: 1440x900 - smaller and lighter - I can change the HDD very easily - one USB plug more - the x201s also has support for Intel Core i7.

Disadavantages: - Battery life, I guess - Speakers, but doesn't matter for business users - Webcamera, whose lank on TP is quite strange

DVD writer is personal preference. I explicitly don't want it in laptops.

From a strictly techical perspective, although more loosely business one, choosing a Thinkpad x20*s over a Macbook Pro 13 is a no-brainer.

I especially like a Chuck Norris fact:

Chuck Norris [...] can divide by zero.

But also the XKCD "sudo make me a sandwich" one.
