All my computers run UEFI if possible, and all of them run Linux.

I have no problems with UEFI whatsoever; in fact, I think it's a nice improvement to the dated BIOS technology. The Microsoft thing called "Secure Boot" might pose a problem, but I never activate that anyway.

People need to stop confounding UEFI with Secure Boot.


You inadvertently proved his point:

The doctors were uneducated, he was not at all becoming pre-diabetic.


Misrepresenting much? We don't count carbs in lettuce. We generally don't count carbs at all. We just stick to eating lots of above ground vegetables, lots of fat, and only slightly increased levels of protein compared to a regular "balanced" diet.

Oh, and we avoid refined sugar for the plague it is.

But it might work differently in your part of the world.


So your reference is a guy posting stuff on a blog? Well, here's a counter for you: I've lost 7 kgs on a ketogenic (low carb, high fat) diet. I eat as much as I want until I feel full. And according to body measurement scans, I lost mostly visceral fat and almost no muscle, which is amazing.

Yeah, try telling me you get fat from eating proteins and fat.


There is already a patch out for Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1274349


Both. Squatting makes your bowels more relaxed which helps emptying them: http://wellnessmama.com/wp-content/uploads/InfluenceofBodyPo...


Interesting, we should propose a combined "squatting for work, eating and various other bodily needs" cubicle on Kickstarter ... Never leave your squatting position again.


As a general rule, women don't "hit on" men here in Sweden either. Like everywhere else, they indicate interest in more subtle ways - sometimes unconsciously. The male who is able to pick up on (and then follow up on) these cues is the male who scores.

Also, the "slutty northern European women" stereotype just comes from the way they behave abroad, when they lose some inhibitions since nobody from back home is around to pass judgment on them.


Actually, I can see it work for programmers as well; tilde is easily pressed with the right thumb instead of left ring finger, esc is more easily reached for us vim users, and I know I sure don't use caps lock, ever. The soft function keys might be a problem for some, but I, at least, don't use them very often.


Meh. In Linux, at least, you can do this: setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:shifts_toggle,grp_led:caps us,se

It will toggle between US and Swedish layout when both shift keys are pressed together (basically the only time I use rshift), as well as toggle the caps led on when the Swedish layout is activated. I have caps lock bound to ESC, for more convenient for vim usage.
