   For what it is worth 50Lbs of grain (in my case 2-row barley) fit neatly in two 5-gallon home depot buckets. And is enough base grain for five 5-gallon batches of beer.

   So worst case scenario, someone could have hacked my profile and "upgraded" my account since I just have the basic account. Oh and they could have harvested the spamgourmet email address that has boarders.com as the exclusive sender.

    Some of the comments at the article site seem to be from the author. One of them says they selected 400 articles from the featured articles and at the time that was 0.013% of all the articles.

    Interesting. I have a Google voice number and a Sprint account but there is a question I don't see an answer to, although I haven't dug around in the fine print yet. If I switch my Sprint number to Google voice, are mobile to mobile calls

    Well, to start off with the initial SDK was just HTML5 and CSS. Later the PDK was released to enable actual native level coding, most of the higher end apps are PDK apps. As a side note, the original iPhone was also all web technology base
