He warned that only a minority of people, perhaps 5% or 10%, would be able to stick to the harsh diet necessary to get rid of diabetes
That would depend. If you locked them up and pushed the food in through a slot in the door, it would be closer to 100%. Don't get me wrong, you could treat them well - soft beds, kindly guards, books to read, even internet. You'd have to monitor and filter the internet of course, to block pizza delivery sites.
The windows 8 publicity is odd. First there was the native html/js news, which set off loads of negativity, but also interest. Then Microsoft shut up, so people feared the worst but did their own analysis, so the interest has gotten onto news like the Ars Technica article, which is very positive. It's either a devious PR master-stroke or a happy accident.
Ah, who am I kidding? it's a rare case of cock-up coming up roses.
I wanna know if the diet was low-calorie only or also low-carb - depends what's in the shakes....
I can well believe 8 weeks to have a dramatioc effect - that's how long it took me to basically get rid of my psoriasis by dietary means (lots of veg, some fruit, fish [palm-sized portion only], few eggs/week, olive oil, 5 almonds/per day)
On the Windows Dev: Just for pity's sake keep a WYSIWYG for Windows apps. PLEASE!! I cannot get web devs to appreciate just how important this is (because mainly they are not used to having anything good?? [the .net web dev stuff is pretty universally judged to be actively horrible]).
I am not buliding f*ckin' UIs purely in code. It's daft. Just daft. Like asking an artist to 'paint' a picture by describing the position and size and colour of brushstrokes instead of just doing it... or a musician to compose using in textfiles of midi codes...
I just say to them, "in less than 5 years you will want it badly, in 10 you will know I am right!"
Ugh, great. More ammunition for the fat-bashers and calories-in-calories-out proponents. I would be one of those for whom restricting calories wouldn't do anything for the diabetes and would do massive damage to my mental health. I know, because of the times I've been on way fewer calories than that for months at a time and not only did I continue to gain weight at a ridiculous rate, I got very, very ill. As one might expect. But it worked for some people! so the rest of us will be (again) accused of just making excuses. Why did I read the comments on that link, why why why.
