me and my wife are going to start this in the morning. Once I get about 2 weeks in I'll probably bump from 1 set to a second. I would like to eventually get up to 3 sets... I have a feeling that is where the sweet spot might be... a

Did you make any dietary changes at the same time you started this? Or is the workout the only thing you changed in the last 50 days. Just trying to attribute the weight loss to the right factors. I compared the first side photo to the 5

Do you have multiple small children under the age of 5? Both those activities typically take at least 30 minutes of continuity to be done right... a real challenge with a 4 and a 1 year old. After they go to bed, great. While they are aw

I see he has a cozy little room just up the road from my house. Allenwood low is an easy ride for a Federal Prison stay. So why is his reasons for incarceration more disturbing than the stuff he has done over the years? What I see is an in

Who cares if their civilization is 65,000 years old or 2,000 years old. They have clearly indicated, as a matter of their own free will, that they are not interested in our big ships, little ships, helicopters, cameras, or anything else th

Use a long enough rope and you won't be in the tree's way when it falls. Or you could do as they suggest above and use another tree to pull in another direction so you are already off to the side.

So why can't you be an observer of the sys admin when they install the software. Witness some chain of command that the software has come from an authorized source, meets a digital check-sum and is installed properly. It can then be

Stuxnet? Is it too far of a stretch to think that this could have aided in the development? Obviously I have no evidence that it actually did, but I wouldn't be surprised and personally think its likely.

I know in the article you say that outsourcing to third parties did not work out well for you. If you are willing to point other people to angieslist as an implied trusted source couldn't you use that as a way to vet your cleaners and expa

If you would spend 2 minutes to do a google search for businesses still using COBOL you'll find your answer. My statement is based on professional experience in the IBM Midrange field talking with people who still work on these systems. U

COBOL and Fortran exploded with the IBM Mainframe and the AS400 midrange computing platform. Both platforms still exist in modern versions under different names now (IBM has changed their names so many times it ridiculous). LOTS of legacy

15% for an end to end service? Citation Please! Paypal, Stripe, Braintree and those guys don't even come close to that. If you are getting charged 5% in fees in this day and age then you are doing something wrong... at least here in the

For the record, Johnson is only pulling 1.1% in Texas and 1% nationwide. http://www.google.com/elections/ed/us/results And the only state he came close to costing Romney was Florida. But even so, he would have lost it by over 3000 votes i

Your story is very similar to mine. I too was a poor farmers child growing up. But thanks to Pell Grants, Federal Student Loans, and my parents vision for me, I was able to go to college. My parents greatest vision for me was that I woul

Your statement is like looking at steel mill conditions in the early 1900's in Pittsburgh and the people on wall street saying... "Well, why are they pissed? Its not like its slavery." Just because other Chinese working conditions suck doe

This is true, there is definitely a lot of fun that people have trying to hunt down a "bargain". They like to feel like they got the best of those bastards that are always screwing them! Or did better than their friends, like a competition

Here's a question... now that we know that this is a psychological "trick" played on people to get them to spend more of their money, is it morally wrong for those of us "in the know" to price things this way? Marketers are essentially try

And the official term would be IBM i running on Power Systems. Damn IBM and their ever changing name of the most stable platform available.

I think that one of the key points here is that he did get "something". He got course credit. The college felt that the work he was doing in industry was worth "something" towards his education (which it most certainly was). So he paid f

I would say that maybe you should refine your metrics? What significance is x millions? Is that how success is defined? Or do you define success by doing something great? Typically when you do something great, in the world of products a

I'm not referring to any specific amount of traffic. I'm referring to how users expect a website to work. If the user sees a link, especially a More or Login link then the user expects it to do just what it says. When those don't work I

Paul, I really do not mean any disrespect here because you are truly a class act and first rate player in the start up world. You are also a great hacker that loves to push the limits. You've created an amazing community here that I have

Really?! EVERYONE?! Hmm, which query on the interwebs did you use to find that fact??? I better go check my registrar account because someone must have broken in and put a useless domain name in there... I hate it when that happens.
