I just spent the last year losing 60 pounds. I did so by reducing my food intake. At one point I began to exercise without reducing intake and I began to lose weight. Once classes started, I could not longer exercise as much and my weigh

>We don't know why people gain weight We actually do. In simple terms, if you eat more than you can use, you will gain weight. It is slightly more complicated. I can explain more, but the web will do a better job than I can. The talk

Maybe we don't know what exact combination of foods is most healthy, but there are things we do know. For instance, we know that carbohydrates consist of a ton of readily available energy. And if you eat more energy than you burn, you stor

I was a little disappointed it wasn't there. I am also a crunchbang user, but I think bodhi Linux uses it as well.

The biggest blunder of this article is how they convey Google. Do they know a little more about me than I like? Sure. But so does Facebook, Microsoft, and OkCupid!. The difference here is that if I want out of Google, I simply go to the

So it makes me wonder if he paid income taxes on that money. My guess would be no. I would guess the situation is similar for all those born with money. This makes this advantage doubly unfair.

So you MUST be an avid fortran developer right? Have an excellent geocities/angelfire site with marquee and blinks? Still pushing java applets? This is basically the fastest changing field you can choose. I know you must have invested a

>Everyone else has a "walled garden" why must Google be different? The FSF would beg to differ. Google does contribute to open source, claimed android to be open source, prescribed to the notion of "don't be evil", and seems to be enth

Of course this comment would show up. We get it. People overuse the word. You're offended because someone used it on you once and you only loosely fit the description. Instead of muddling the comments of every post that contains the wor

Hack is often used in the sense: Well it wasn't intended to work that way, but it does, it's a workaround, or "hack".

Once you make the mental transition from "mysql" to "SQL" and actually treat it as a language, it gets interesting.

Useful in a pinch, but I would not recommend using these. Make your own. If you plan on using the language, making your own cheat sheet is the best way to learn it. By the time you are able to make one, you know what you use, what you al

Go watch the tour of Space X. He shows their current rockets and prototypes and proceeds to explain that it was another guy that built it in his garage. Elon funded it's production.

I understand the metaphor, but my problem with it is that there are many fireplace designs that reburn the smoke. Rocket mass heaters, gasifiers, even catalytic converters combust the smoke which quadruples the heat yield from wood and pro

I love this, and I hate this. I certainly see the value in simplifying, mental and financial, but I don't think it eliminates the value of physical objects. For now, we are still physical beings. I love the benefits of digital media, and

You're seeing their failure to adapt since Jobs passed. It is slow, but their stock will fall hard soon.

It is the cycle. Apple crept up on Microsoft. Google crept up on Apple. Google will have its day to fail... Eventually.

This is absolutely ridiculous. I don't live in SF, nor California for that matter, but this comes across as "I was living in SF before it was cool. Money is evil and so is anyone with it. Especially if they are young." Every paragraph in

A tactic used by lawyers is to emphasize the maximum so that the plea bargains will seem more attractive and be more easily accepted tod keep trials as short as possible. Are we that desperate to blame someone else? He killed himself.

You know, had they implemented a pre-order option, they may have been able to better gauge demand. Instead, they decided to piss off their customers.

Let's simplify the top instructions the same way the bottom has been. The bottom is a high level view, the top is from a low level view. From the high view it would be even simpler than the bottom, owner approaches, enters, turns on. No

Assuming the point is that we focus too much on big personality rather than actual contribution, this is something that bugs me and I think about often. Ken Thompson is still around. So is Bjarne Stroustrup. Linus Torvalds is still headi
