I walk absolutely everywhere I can to make up for not exercising; if I find myself with an empty evening, I force myself to walk an hour down the mountain to the grocery store instead of taking my bike or sitting around at home in front of

The only really good piece of advice I've ever seen about writing a novel is "Write." Everything else is wildly variable; if it's broken, you can fix it after you get it out of your head. But if you don't write it, it'll never be written.

The Game is an interesting book for a lot of reasons; I don't agree with the idea of picking up tons of random women or some of the methodology he espouses, but it's a powerful book for making people sit up and realize that yes, you can cha

Atlas Shrugged (Ayn Rand), In Memory Yet Green/In Joy Still Felt (Isaac Asimov), The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (Robert Heinlein). Those books are probably what made me into a self-sufficient human being who wants to stand on his own and keep

The article makes it sound like its his financial irresponsibility (not paying a loan for 20 years!!) and that the robbery was just the icing on the cake, despite the sensational headline that makes you want to say "WHAT, refused because of

It refers to the Atlantic Seaboard, so it's not "Mid(dle of the) Atlantic (Ocean)," it's "Mid(dle of the) Atlantic Seaboard."

I wanted to see if the numbers still applied for people who are naturalized US citizens, but I couldn't actually connect to the site.

Why not change majors to something relevant to your goals that could help you? For example, go for a business major and an accounting minor, or something that seems completely unrelated but could be helpful, like History/Philosophy. I don't

Thanks for trying!

No problem -- I didn't realize that was you! Definitely update us at some point with your progress; I'm always interested in hearing how people have surpassed it and led successful lives.

It's not so much the length as the sound. I'm profoundly deaf and can't really understand video.

It does have speed dial, so you could put in the most frequently-used numbers.

Amazing. I need to get one of these for my grandfather.

I don't want to sit here trying to strain to understand a one-hour video and the site linked in the video description leads to a car loan ad site. What's the low-down on this technology?

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not looking to build apps (or anything specific to the iPhone, which still has very low market penetration here), but normal websites.

It wouldn't be associated with an authenticated user, though, so you wouldn't be able to show other posts by a given author... Why not just use pastebin or something?

If you'd accidentally rubbed the metal eraser binding on a tooth while doing that, it probably would have done some damage. How did it taste?

The biggest grudge I have against Google is that their support is absolutely terrible. I have been unable to use AdWords for over half a decade; I have been unable to create a blog at Blogspot for a few weeks now. Their support is useless,

I'd probably sink a lot of time into going to libraries and reading; I'd subscribe obsessively to various periodicals to try to reach the depth and breadth of knowledge that I'm used to (read: addicted to) getting online. I might also try t

It used to be quicker -- I was saying it was an example of one of those sites that was better before the "Web 2.0 redesign."

It's not so much the design aesthetic as performance for me. Sometimes browsers just seem to choke or take more time on complicated AJAX for something as simple as making a comment. Hacker News is great in that respect -- it's all simple an

DocType is the most useful for me; DesignFloat tends to be pretty random/useless sometimes since it's an aggregator and the links it has don't always directly pertain to design.

I liked slashdot more when it was plain, quick-loading HTML. I liked most sites more when they were plain, quick-loading HTML. Ain't It Cool News is the only other one coming to mind at the moment, though.

I've also heard the tip of wearing pantyhose to keep your inner thighs from chafing, but if you're running a marathon in shorts and/or you're a guy, it's not a very appealing solution. It also works for horseback riding.

From the headline, I thought this was a script to compare present and past Cabinets of the Prime Minister due to the ridiculously high turrnover rate. Oops.

"I'm sorry, but these are the rates I offer to non-profit agencies. Please understand that these rates are already much lower than my standard rates and as such, are non-negotiable. If you decide to pursue either of the two solutions we hav
