Junk science. First, the study wasn't done on humans or even mammals. Second, they just added ONE NUTRIENT that happens to also be present in bacon.
In contrast, decades of research show a diet high in saturated fat contributes to a number of diseases including heart attack and stroke.

Ah, yes -- this supports what I have long suspected: the "3C" food group (Caffeine, Cholesterol, Cigarettes) is not only essential for the well-being of a programmer, but is generally beneficial overall. Of course, extended use of 3C can lead to the Big C...

In his movie, Sleeper", didn't Woody Allen's character find out that in the future it was considered "health food"?

This is a blog post so it's not well visible on CP but the tip is really useful for Tortoise SVN users: TortoiseSVN pre-commit hook in C# - Save yourself some troubles![^]
Sometimes there's no other way to do the job than to have some some temporary change in code which should never get into repository. You think you will remember not to commit it, right?

Interestingly, I have an Outlook rule that keeps my mail one minute in my Outbox before sending it, so basically it is the same idea but for the Email world.
This can be overruled by categorizing the email in case I want to quickly send something to someone.
And this rule saved me an invaluable amount of time.

Nice idea! How do you set it up?
|
|
|
|
|
Using an Outlook rule[^], which basically says: After sending an email, keep it in the outbox for one minute, unless it was assigned the category "Immediately". The wizard helps you setting up that rule properly. Of course, you have to create/rename the category "Immediately" ( or whatever the name you chose).
To ignore the rule, simplay change the category of an email to "Immediately" before sending it (Options->Category).

interesting idea; but to be useful for most of my coding I'd need an AnkhSvn hook.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

It looks cool, but I think building one would be a wee bit above my budget. 
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

Oh, well, that is a bargain.

If they build that then no healthcare.org version 2. 
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

I'll wait for the Chilton manual; Haynes sucks.

Yeah, but even with Chilton's you get instructions like this:
To replace planet blaster:
1. Remove Death Star outer skin, ensuring you retain clips 17A, 19D, and 22C.
2. Detach bolts at mounting points 672, 915, and 4. Loosen (but do not remove) bolts at points 10 through 42.
3. Shutdown power system to blaster and detach all couplings. Retaining rings must be replaced on re-installation.
4. Remove blaster.
Reinstall by reversing steps.

So true! 
But at least with Chilton, what directions you get are usually correct. They can be awfully sketchy, though. I spent two weekends using one to try to fix a headlight dimmer switch in a '95 Buick LeSabre Ltd, with no good results. There's a jillion little plastic bits stuffed inside that steering column, and the manual gives no clues as to how one goes about removing the plastic cowling surrounding everything; it just says to remove it, and try not to set off the air bag. I got it all back together, the switch worked perfectly for 20 minutes, then failed again. The sterring column lock has never worked since, and the ignition makes an odd clicking sound when it's turned. Sheesh - even Chilton isn't half the product it used to be!
Will Rogers never met me.

I've been through that routine with a couple cars. The best experience I had was with my Miata. I had a copy of the Mazda service manual, an after-market repair guide that had great color pictures, and a huge online community of Miata fans.
Too bad I totaled the car after only owning it for three years  .

There may be a job going round these parts that would be perfect for you;

That's funny! I very seldom drink but bought a bottle of wine a week ago and yesterday when I got the urge found I didn't have a cork screw. I just moved a few moths ago and evidently it's in storage...but where?
