Body weight is genetically determined, as tightly regulated as height.
Genes control not only how much you eat but also the metabolic rate at which you burn food.
When it comes to eating, free will is an illusion.

Today's conservatives [in the U.S.A.] differ in one crucial aspect from yesterday's conservatives: the latter believed in small government, but believed, too, that a country ought to pay for all the government that it needed.
The former believe in no government, and therefore conclude that...

Do You Know What It Means to Lose New Orleans?
By ANNE RICE
La Jolla, Calif.
WHAT do people really know about New Orleans?
Do they take away with them an awareness that it has always been not only a great white metropolis but also a great black city, a city where...
''I think it puts into question all of the Homeland Security and Northern Command planning for the last four years, because if we can't respond faster than this to an event we saw coming across the Gulf for days, then why do we think we're prepared to respond to a nuclear or biological attack?''
In this Salon article "No One Can Say They Didn't See It Coming" the author makes reference to a 2001 FEMA report that described the three most likely disasters to stike the US.
Can anyone provide a WWW reference to the original FEMA report? I've performed a variety of Google searches but I...
Folks, I need to replace the exit rollers on a 9 year old HP LaserJet 4M+ printer. I purchased the exit rollers and I've got instructions to replace the existing ones.
I want to blow out the paper feed mechanisms while I've got the printer open. Must I use real compressed air (literally...
Folks:
If I burn an iTune song to a CD is the DRM "key" also written to the CD?
I'm lead to believe that I can strip the iTune DRM "key" from a song by burning it to a CD and then ripping that CD. I'm trying to figure out if the DRM "key" is:
1. removed when the song is burned to the...
Are there any meters I can plug into a household power outlet to determine the power being drawn from that circuit in realtime?
Ideally I'd like a meter that plugs into a household electrical outlet and has a female 3 prong connector so that I can plug devices into it.

I have a Windows XP box with 2 hard drives installed on IDE primary using cable select as master and slave.
Both source and destination partitions have been defragmented. The source file is located contiguously on the source drive. When I use XCOPY to copy a large (13GB) file from one disk...
I have an ISO (SQL Server 2005 June CTP) that is too large to burn to a CD. I'm unable to burn that ISO to a DVD using Nero 6.6 Ultra Edition (upgraded online from Nero 6.3 OEM suite). My DVD burner is an HP 300i (DVD+R, DVD+RW).
I am able to burn data and video DVDs using this version of...
Hi folks:
I currently have a bunch of (i.e. more than 4) machines, all dual-monitor equipped, connected to a pair of KVMs that drive my dual monitor setup. I'm investigating migrating from my dual 19" analog CRTs to dual 19" DVI-based LCDs at some point in the next year. The major issue with...

I own three of these motherboards. My goal is to eventually populate each of them with 3GB of RAM. I believe I can do that only with PC2100 or PC2700 RAM.
Given that goal and the fact that I'll never overclock these machines or modify them in any way what-so-ever, which of AMD's processor...
I want to install more RAM in a friend's Dell Dimension L550r computer. Dell recommends PC100 SDRAM for the machine. On Crucial's website they say the machine accepts either PC100 or PC133.
Can anyone verify that this machine in fact accepts PC133 SDRAM? In reality I'll be mixing PC100 and...
In this article the Inquirer describes AMD plans to release an Athlon 64-based CPU configured for Socket A.
Can existing Socket A motherboard owners expect to see any performance improvements by installing one of these processors? Won't the existing chipset limit any significant performance...
At what point will vendors start shipping single processor AMD 64bit-based motherboards that support more than 3GB of RAM? Significantly more, i.e. 8GB or 16GB.
I'm specifically thinking about 939 pin-based boards so that registered DIMMs aren't needed.
The subject line says it all. I need to use non-standard ports to retrieve e-mail from certain hosts but Norton 200x scans only on ports 25 and 110.
Can anyone recommend an alternative antivirus scanner that will work with non-standard ports?

Hi folks:
I want to buy a cordless phone/answering machine that has two handsets. I need a unit that has a 2nd handset with charger that can be placed in a different room from the base unit.
I don't need lots of fancy features - something simple and reliable will work OK.
I've seen a...
My requirements:
Rock solid stability

Capable of installing 3GB of RAM (PC2100 DDR is fine)

NForce chipset (any NForce chipset; VIA not acceptable)...

Hi folks:
The subject line says it all. There's at least one consumer magazine that publishes an annual issue about this topic. Does anyone know which mag it is?
Hi all:
Is DVD+R and/or DVD+RW media "speed" rated in the same way that CD-R and CD-RW media are rated?
I just purchased an HP DVD300i (DVD+R @ 4X) and I wonder if I have to buy media rated at 4X throughput to use it in this device.
