you are correct, most junk food does contian some type of animal part be it eggs, dairy or fom animal-derived protein (i.e. l-cycten or gelatin)

Not all excessive calories are converted into fat. It all depends on blood glucose level, and liver/muscle glycogen storage levels and the level of activity after the meals.

As a vegetarian, I can attest to the health aspect of it. I am more healthy than anyone I know (all meat/dairy/egg eaters). Whenever I get a checkup they always ask if i am an athlete or some weird health nut, I just say , "no I just don't eat animals."
My last cholesterol test was 113 total.

This is the best thing that could happen for the software, it will continue, as FOSS and innovate. This is a good thing.

the deal is the steering committee is now made up of all Oracle employees, no one from the community, a BIG deal for FOSS

OO will serve as a test bed for Oracle Office but it will not be innovative and free, OO will just be free.

in theory yes, but in practice no. developing such a complex piece of software is very hard to do. the pieces are there, they just need refine it.

OpenOffice was acquired by Oracle recently when they bought Sun Microsystesm and have not embraced the open source philosophy in the opinion of the greater open office community. So, since the code is open source, several in the non-Oracle community decided to "rescue" the project from the same fate as Opensolaris. Libre Office is based on OO code 3.3 and GO-OO.

better to pay the grocer now than the doctor later... a vegan diet will save you later in life
esponapule | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: What do you eat, hackers?
Mostly Vegan, 100% vegetarian
esponapule | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: What do you drink?
Water, Water with lemon, Water, some wine and then some more water. and NEVER corn water (i.e. pepsi, coke, snapple, etc...)
esponapule | 15 years ago | on: Desktop Linux: The Dream Is Dead
The main reason I am stuck with windows is because I have to reboot to play my new "windows only" games (wine cannot handle it) and, I have hardware with "windows only" drivers and I use as a freelancer CS5, gimp scribus and inkcsape just are not there as far as innovation and then people keep sending me M$ word docs and openoffice just cannot format these files 100%, in business this needs to work seamlessly.
I prefer a linux desktop but the rest of the world keeps making it "windows only."

Yes, several. In fact I just had a Kingston become unreadable (even though the hardware was recognized) after just one month, had to RMA it. I have another transcend 4GB that is now eternally locked and read only.
