Hey, guess what? This is how war is truly waged. This is how wars are won. You don't wage war the way we do it now and you don't win the way we do it now.

@Tills13: I think that "character by character" feature really took away from the collaboration part of it. It always felt strange to form your "draft" of a thought publicly. (And yes, I know you could turn that off.)

I started dual booting Linux Mint a couple of weeks ago and noticed that everything looks better in Mint. Sharper.

@xsbs: Those "genetic mutations" or the people you describe as being unable to lose weight no matter how little they eat are so rare as to be statistically insignificant. There are probably more people with some sort of hormonal imbalance, but still a small percentage.

@somidscr21: Hopefully.

@Wireless Joe: LOL. A fatty back then would be barely average size now.

@stre: We truly did evolve to run: [goo.gl]

@xsbs: Those who are "genetic mutations" are rare, almost by definition.

@zakany: They died younger not because of their lack of health, but because their occupations were more dangerous. They were welders and miners and farmers and ironworkers, not web designers and gamers and marketing gurus.

@rebeldevil: +2!

@xsbs: Click through to the article where there are many more pictures. Find the fatty in one of them and post it here. You will have to look long and hard to find one.

@studlee1a: At 6'4", 180, you must have lean body mass. Just like the people in those photos. Your weight is likely quite healthy for you, try to keep it that way.

@38thsignal: How do you sleep Scandi-style?

@spivak26: Black people working in a field do not automatically equal slavery. Not in the '30's, anyway. For all we know, they are working in their own field, growing their own food.

Not one fatty in any of those pictures. People worked too hard. No iPhone, either.

@StupidSimple: How dare those nasty, evil rich guys choose for themselves what to do with their own money? How dare they put it to use for the common good?

Sometimes Gmail recognizes the tracking code and shows you a link on the right that goes straight to the results page of the carrier.

I hate to see it go, I think it holds great promise. Maybe a bit ahead of its time. I hope they roll many of the features into Gmail, or simply build it into Apps. I imagine it took a lot of bandwidth, too.

Wait, so the seas aren't rising? You mean Chile won't be underwater next week? Has Al Gore heard about this?

I wonder what all that hardware cost to buy and what it costs to maintain and keep training up. Must cost in the hundreds of millions.
