All soap is antibacterial.

Re:Fatty acid found in palm oil linked to spread of cancer on Wednesday November 10, 2021 @02:54PM (#29179734)
> Palmitic acid is the first fatty acid produced during fatty acid synthesis and is the precursor to longer fatty acids. As a consequence, palmitic acid is a major body component of animals. In humans, one analysis found it to make up 21–30% (molar) of human depot fat, and it is a major, but highly variable, lipid component of human breast milk.

At least this does not apply to all VISA wallet cards.

Would be cool if they'd release this for ARM too. The Pi, Cubietruck and all the other dev boards would run this nicely.
Re:Unity is the end of Ubuntu on Friday October 21, 2011 @10:05AM (#3139760)
There is a ppa that makes the Unity-2D launcher the same size as the icons: ppa:lucazade/ppa at https://launchpad.net/~lucazade/+archive/ppa

I use it and have no problem or crashes.
