    Getting In Shape

    lucky you :) interesting you mention the sit-ups, i think this is a common line of thought. getting a visible 6-pack is almost exclusively about low body fat, not exercise. the more you exercise the larger the stomach muscles will be, but without low body fat they will remain hidden. my...

    Getting In Shape

    well it sounds like you were unhealthy during the relationship as well :/ exercising requires you to actually do something. dieting requires you to do even less! :)

    at 4% bodyfat you would have an easily visible 6 or 8-pack how were your measurements taken?

    Getting In Shape

    3% everyday? i'm not buying that. that would be pure minimal essential fat. a friend who was a bodybuilder and still works out daily / looks great said that pro, competitive bodybuilders would hit 3% on competition day and then go pass out, and that most are around 5+% regularly. and those...

    Getting In Shape

    it's not an explicit case of 'eat 100% muscle until you lose fat' - or anywhere near that really - but it is true that if you don't exercise in general, especially while dieting, you will tend to lose muscle mass. i would contend that if you're over 300lbs this is the least of your worries. it...

    Getting In Shape

    again, i'm not anti-exercise. i'm sure it's a very good thing, i just don't do it. the 1 in 10 million line (while obviously an exaggeration) is way off though. it is basic math, and all diets are an attempt to get people to play by the rules. you need xxx calories each day for your...

    another short blurb: not to rain on anybody's walking/exercising parade, but it's quite possible to lose weight without an ounce of exercise. i did it :)

    Getting In Shape

    i i think you hit the nail on the head their with the word 'my'. you're not in the process of breaking up - you're broken up. just like people aren't in the process of getting cut off in traffic when they come home in a terrible mood about being cut off in traffic. the event is short but the...

    i've been in a similar situation once where i was generally unhappy about my life and misdirected all my depression into this specific girl i had been with for a year and a half and broke up with. this one wasn't worth sweating, and yours may very well be, but do give consideration to the fact...

    Marvell SATAII

    like a direct bridge connect...? this is already implemented on 875 boards for the native gige ethernet. one would suspect the same bypass will be done for on-board sata2 solutions.

    Anybody ever been broken into?

    i've had homes broken into twice by burglars, and once i was the first one in the house. i ran in and they were right there carting stuff out the back. i was hurrying to watch something on tv, which one of them was holding (and dropped, and broke). another time there was a prowler with a...

    I received this hilarious spam

    the best piece of spam i ever got was back when ebay would publish your email address. i won an auction and got something with the subject 'ebay transaction failed?' the body was: 'i hope not, because your subscription did! you are now subscribed to our mailing list' if i was a spammer...

    according to the privacy policy i read, they don't. they can't change it without notifying you via email.

    MSN Messenger account without Hotmail/Passport?

    yes, you need a passport. you don't need hotmail. your cc, personal info, etc are not in there so i don't see how it's any worse than using any other instant messenger. they all require registration.

    MSN Messenger account without Hotmail/Passport?

    when you sign up on msn messenger it asks if you have an email address, you say yes, and then you enter it. they word it to kind of direct you to hotmail, but you don't need it.

    fletch is excellent (i like it better than all the vacation movies probably) but the quotes aren't as real-world... 'peter lemonjello. your house is on fire...'

    Best movie you've seen

    coen :) and yeah, well-said. i would suggest the people that didn't get lebowski rewatch and try not to focus on the story so much, at which point the story will be more enjoyable. similar to a 'hidden picture' thing. lose focus, and it comes into focus. i think it's probably the most...

    Best movie you've seen

    that's the only coen bros movie i've seen (multiple times no less) and never got into. a lot of it may be due to the fact that i think nick cage sucks though.

    vegas? nownow... anybody know 'holiday road' was written/performed by lindsey buckingham (MALE from fleetwood mac)? i've seen summer vacation too many times to even be able to judge it. the only line that does it for me as far as i can remember is 'the moose outside should have told you'...

    Best movie you've seen

    i took requiem to be a piece of directorial masturbation. the same could be said for the royal tenenbaums, but at least wes anderson did it faultlessly :) i never saw the value in trainspotting. it was not popcorn-entertaining (think ocean's eleven), and none of the drug culture stuff was...

    my gf is getting a masters in genetic epedemiology, so she has conversations about this sort of thing a lot. she said it's going to be a long, long time before attitude-related things are going to be predictable. she also said the pulse seems to be with health insurance that the gotchas will...

    Not your Father's Cadillac

    one would have to assume there are stats that link bad credit with bad driving, otherwise they couldn't legally do it. i didn't even know they did that. i'm satisfied with the rate, it's above-average coverage. 250k/500k bodily injury, 100k property damage, 25k/50k uninsured motorist, $250...

    MP3 portable players

    i believe the consensus was/is that if you buy a western digital firewire card an ipod will work with a pc 100% of the time isn't there also pc software that just treats it like a drive? dump in mp3s, then play them.
