There are two things going on: exercise, and eating. You have to get control of both, however you do that. If exercise makes you eat more, you have more work to do on the eating. If you do eat more because of exercise, at least make sure th

Good idea, congrats on executing. I don't know why, but it makes my eyes tired to look at it, as if I was looking at red text on green. Other than that it's great.

Hmmm, there are issues. I messed up the captcha, got the captcha error page, clicked the inviting link there, which brought me back to my comment editing box, but now there's no captcha, just a submit button. Of course clicking the button g

As I mentioned, you wouldn't try to compete with Facebook, since they're the de facto standard. This would be for people who want something different (like Jones Soda). It would likely work best by enhancing the attraction to something exis

I think Google could do this entirely with blogger, maybe reader, maybe Picassa, and email, and a bit of code. It would be a huge boon to Android phones. Google groups is broken for some people, and I'd stay away from using it as a building

I admit vague ignorance here. The article links to two test sites, https://www.dns-oarc.net/oarc/services/replysizetest and http://labs.ripe.net/content/testing-your-resolver-dns-reply... The dig test on the first site times out. The se

After thinking about this more, I think you're wrong. There are at least two purposes to voting. One is to help find better comments, because points are associated with the comments. But the other purpose is to provide karma to the poster
