Why? Do not chicks keep their hair waxed anyhow?
Is not hair wax something that makes the hairdressers (and some chemical companies) quite rich?
I think I'll switch my daughter's the hair wax for Turtle wax - then the hair will really shine! 🙂

Oh there is hair wax, but it's for down there... 😛

Same here. I think it's cool they did the PS3 client, as they go a monopoly there and will get a lot of extra results, but negelcting the BOINC client so long is really bad. I'd do a lot of F@H if there was a BOINC app. 🙁

I would actually switch back to it for my main project. I will still keep a few token projects like chess960@home and LHC@home since they require next to nothing for crunch time or have limited WU.
 
OH CRAP :shocked:

This was a bad idea....

/me tries to cough up P4 he swallowed to simulate Orangecello

I've always wondered why someone hasn't advertised the tape worm as the next dietary alternative. People who get them do tend to lose weight.

Is that the one inside your guts which basically eats all the stuff you eat and the you **** his lose parts aka "babies"? You know, I also thought about this a couple of times. It's radical, yes, and will have no long time effect, as you have to remove the worm one time or another, but for a crash course dietary, I think it's awesome. :evil:
 
It is not. Yeah you loose weight, but the disadvantages are greater: you loose a lot of vitamins (especially B1, B6, B12, A and D), which gives you problems with sleeping, kognition (observing, thinking, reacting), heart rythm, pain, vision ... all within a few weeks before you loose weight and before you realize that you have a tape worm. Some of those critters are also more dangeros in some less than appetizing ways ... cause anemia, infections, liver damage. Also they have a tendency to spread in the family - and you do not want your kids to have them.

So: if you are single, live isolated, take a lot of supplemental vitamins, exactly know your worm and want a cure which will only last a few month ... just don't do it!
 
I guess we need a DC project to geneticly engineer a worm that will only live so long and not have bad side effects.

1. Engineer diet worm
2. Sell diet worm to Rosey O'Donnell & the like. 🙂
3. ???
4. Profit.

Who's with me. :evil:
 
I don't know... I think it would be safer to become a (temporary) cocaine addict.

Cocaine addicts loose a lot of weight fast. :Q
 
My vote is for a virtual reality eating program. You think you are eating steaks and all other wonderful things, while in reality you are just being IVed the bare essentials. 😀
 
Kokain has been user as a weight loss medication and it is effective - for a while. You have to use it daily though ...
But - and I really like being a NO-sayer - the addiction is really really hard to kick, if you use kokain. Also there is quite some risk for contracting a heart disease, hypertension or getting a stroke - especially if you are somewhat older. 🙁
I really prefer walking some 30 - 45 minutes a day. That is much more efficient, has no bad
side effects, the weight loss stays, you get better heart and lungs, sleep better, etc.

Yep... Walking home from work has made me the only person to lose weight in dispatch. LOL
 
VR-eating program? Yeah, I like that! 🙂
There is no need for iv the bare essentials, you could take them as pills. :cookie:
The only problem is the virtual taste --- we need a sensory stimulator for the the tongue, with only a thin wire to a nice computer, which simulates all the good taste. The simulator would, BTW, also add to the feeling of satisfaction and you would not feel too hungry either ... 😀
Why not wireless? Because some joker would - of course - crack the sustem and program vile taste ... 😉
