If you buy local you're much more likely to get beef that is grass fed, and not factory farm raised beef that is fed corn and lives in their own filth. You know in order to kill bacteria in ground beef, they actually use an ammonia bath, a

Sous Vide sounds interesting, but I don't relish the though of eating known carcinogens that are leeching into my foods. BPA is a serious risk, and the FDA so far has refused to take much action on it. It seems that corporate profits trump

A great way to cook a steak if you have good ventilation is to use a cast iron skillet and heat the skillet in an oven to 500 degrees. Brush the steak with olive oil ahead of time, and make sure it is room temperature (not fridge temperatu

Very good point, but a lot of the whole grains I eat are things like organic lake wild rice, which is actually a wetlands grass plant that has probably been eaten since before modern agriculture was invented. Do you do a paleolithic diet?

You don't need to be so restrictive on your caloric intake. I still eat about 2000 calories a day (I'm 6'1" and 168 pounds now, was 188 when I started). You just need to eat the right calories. The hardest thing for me was cutting out th

If you really want to understand why it's difficult to lose weight, and "hack" your body like you hack on computers, I highly recommend a book called Ultrametabolism by Dr. Mark Hyman. In the last 3 months I've lost 20 pounds, just by doing

It sounds like he also found the job on Craigslist. I've found that most of the jobs on Craigslist are wishful thinking... must have 10+ years of CSS/JS/HTML5/J2EE/C/C+/C++ - salary is $15/hr.

It's a really terrible press release. First they talk about a collaboration to develop a PCI-based SSD card. Then they start talking about the limitations of USB 3, which shouldn't even apply to a PCI-based SSD storage solution. They eve

The spray on version would probably have to be used by people in full hazmat suits with breathing apparatus. I can't see this being approved for the general public.

Interesting. It seems like an amazing material, but I wonder what long-term health problems might arise due to exposure to nano particles of silica.

Easy fix for this: If you have Slashdot mod points, browse at 0; if you don't and just want to read good comments, browse at +3 or 4.

Cydia, the app store for jailbroken iPhones has a backgrounder app. Give it a try. What they don't tell you is that it sucks, maybe because the iPhone doesn't really have the ram to run apps in the background or maybe because the iPhone OS

As a developer for Android devices, i must say this article makes me really sad. How can a developer be satisfied with limitations and just put the "but it's how it is to be more secure" stamp on it. I find it ironic that an Android devel

The reason why is that Qualcomm and most 3G chip manufacturers bundle GPS, as it is required by federal law for 911 service. Just adding a standalone GPS module to the Wifi version would probably cost about as much as adding a 3G chip. Btw

I've been doing something like this for a LONG time when I have long running jobs and want to run down to the pub for a beer: # dosomething;mail -s "Job is done" XXXXXXXXXX@mobile.att.net That way I can be anywhere and just wait for a text
