Can't recommend Kashi GoLean highly enough. Pair that with Greek yogurt and you're eating 35g+ of protein for breakfast alone, all with comparably little sugar. As for the comment about Kashi being too costly, I have a bi-monthly recurrin

The Economist published an interesting article about the device (LVADs) a week or so ago: http://www.economist.com/node/18750728?story_id=18750728 Turns out they've been around since 1994. And yes, Dick Cheney is without a heartbeat.

This is perfect. I've been looking for an easy way to find user location (city, state) based on IP address, without having to scrape a IP lookup service for it. Great find!

Does this work in the US? I've been under the assumption that with the recent switch from analog to digital signal (and the need for a digital converter box), connecting an antenna straight to a TV no longer works. Thoughts?

"It is estimated that 1 in 50 people do not have prints or prints clear enough to be registered by the fingerprint readers currently in use." Can you provide a source? I'd be interested in seeing data to back this up.

Why bother with the warning? If the site wants to monetize through subscriptions, put up a pay-wall. If it wants to distribute content freely and monetize through other means (ads, a paid premium section, etc), then do so. Threatening or
