I believe so. If you stop drinking milk or any lactose containing products for a peroid of time your body stops the production of lactase the enzyme which hydrolyses or (breaks down) the lactose. I had a friend who became a full on vegan for some months and he went to the Doctor for a check-up and after some tests it was discovered he could not tolerate it anymore.

What is the largest geographic area covered by a single US zip code? the smallest? How big, geographically, are typical zip codes?

I don't know the exact answer. But it's roughly population based. So smallest, parts of NYC, largest, the empty spaces. Probably west Alaska. http://www.usnaviguide.com/

The weather is cold and when it's cold it gets harder to type. But when I put on gloves it's hard for me to touch-type. Any suggestions?

If you can type non visually (I assume you mean your android/iphone), try a hoodie with a front pocket.

No I mean on my computer keyboard. Im a very fast typer because I dont have to look at the keyboard. But I cant feel the keys too well with gloves on so I make a lot of typos.

Then my suggestion obviously does not work. If you have a roll around chair, a small heater placed a little bit away (as to not bother you or heat up the computer) could work. Just roll over to the heater from time to time?

That doesnt work for more than a few seconds. Heres an idea of the climate conditions: It's well below freezing. I'm wearing at least four layers of clothes. I'm still cold.

Turn on the heat!!

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

But then things will catch fire.

*Facepalm*

Well clean up the space around the heater.

Do you live in a tree, sir?

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

No, but I'm afraid that the curtains will ignite.

Move the curtains? Roll them up. Tie them to the side. Take them down. . .

If it's a radiator, you don't have a problem.

Get some fingerless gloves. Or cut the fingers off some gloves.

Me and some friends are making some games. What kind of stuff could we do to copy protect it? Nothing too fancy, just enough to deter the average guy from copying the game on a flash drive and putting it on another computer or something of the sort.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

You could include a manual and have them look for word 50 on page 5 or something. Older DOS games sometimes did that. But it's rather primitive.

 

[Gamemaster77]

Nah, they are going to be downloaded online, at least for the near future.

I recently got a job in computers. The problem is that after 40 min of working I lose my concentration and have to take a really long break. All the breaks take up to much time. How do you work for many hours with computers?

I take a lot of breaks.

You're going to have trouble with game-making if you're asking such high-level questions as this.

Easy answer: Publish on Steam.
