I agree with the general advice, especially with the Starting Strength recommendation, but the milk advice (also from this book), speaking from own experience, is a recipe for disaster unless you are aiming for a powerlifting physique, with plenty of muscle hidden underneath plenty of fat or unless you are __really skinny__. "Starting strength" is great for exercise technique, but go also get a good nutrition book and make sure you are actually following a nutrition plan in the same way you are following an exercise program. It's easier to do it then it is to loose the fat belly afterwards, or to get rid of the stretch marks from a too rapid weight gain.
Afaik this isn't a man in the middle attack. This was only possible because the host was infected, allowing capturing of the token before it was sent over a secure (eg SSL) line.

Capturing the token wouldn't really be necessary. The Attackers could just use the session created by the user to do their stuff (use the infected machine as a proxy). Capturing the token is just simpler, that's all.

Losing fat isn't all that hard. You keep lifting heavy weights and subtract ~250 kCal a day from your diet. If you aren't losing much [1] weight, you subtract another ~250 kCal/day and so on.

They heavy weights are there to persuade your body to hang onto muscle which is metabolically expensive and therefore eliminated if not used.

I'm curious how much you were eating to wind up with loads of fat. I've put on ~40 lbs in the last year and still have a six pack [2].

[1] much is a maximum of 1 lb a week.

[2] In favorable lighting.

The absolute fastest way to do an I-can't-believe-its-not-a-wire-transfer is to get your US bank to issue you a debit card with the Mastercard or VISA logo on it, and then take that to an ATM in Jamaica. You'll get soaked like a foreign tourist but, hey, no waiting on the money.

You can also give your US bank instructions to wire transfer it to you. Some of them will let you do this online (Citibank does -- you'll have to clear their Know Your Customer hurdle but otherwise it is fairly routine) and most major ones will do it over the phone (again, if you can clear Know Your Customer).

Know Your Customer isn't that scary, although people make it out to be. Basically they'll ask you for a passport and government issued photo ID.

For a post that describes the "hacking" ethos of the game that I wanted to bring out, try my wife's atheist, petless, genoless, wishless wizard ( http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.roguelike.nethack/m...? ). Putting together all those conducts meant she had to be creative in identifying curses, acquiring holy water, coming up with a viable end-game weapon, and fighting certain dangerous enemies. The sequence of confusing herself to read remove curse and make holy and unholy waters so she could bless the polymorph book so she could polypile for fireball so she could beat the quest boss is the sort of "using every corner of the rules to your benefit" thing that I love about nethack.

This is once again just mind-boggling.

They didn't copy or reverse-engineer stuff. They didn't abuse any existing copyrighted works but instead invested a lot in creating their own non-commercial sequel of the game.

They made a completely new game, with their own storyline and engine. The only reference to the King's Quest is that made it a sequel to the original series. Oh, they even dropped the name King's Quest almost a decade ago. In essence, the new game is an original copyrighted work by them.

There's something horribly wrong with that.

You shouldn't be able to "own" characters or a plot or a storyline: you should be able to own actual works based on a set of characters, the plot, or the storyline.

Merely continuing from where the original ended should in no way imply a derivation of works.
While I agree in general with the content of your first paragraph, your second paragraph has some inaccuracies that I found bothersome.

1) You claim that "weighted dips and pullups" combined with "jogging up hills a few times a week" amounts to a complete exercise regime. As far as dips and pullups go, the average person would benefit much more from a simple weightlifting routine like Starting Strength. Additionally, HIIT(High Intensity Interval Training) is a far more effective than steady-state cardio.

2) You state that the average person should pursue Olympic lifts if they want to "take it further". Olympic lifts are some of the hardest exercises to perform correctly, and can be dangerous when attempted by untrained novices. While this makes for good competition, this is impractical for the average trainee. The complex movements involved in performing Olympic lifts can be broken down into more isolated sub-movements, e.g. military press and the power clean rather than the entire clean and jerk. These sub-lifts are far easier to master, and thus more worthwhile to any trainee not looking to compete in an Olympic-style lifting competition.

In fact, the problem with the axioms your talking about isn't that the math is wrong, its that the axioms aren't "true" of the real world.

Not that what you are saying isn't important, but you are talking about two completely different things. I mean, compare the axiom of choice to "people maximize expected utility." One of them is about the pillars of mathematics/logic, one is about how people act.

Last summer, I had the privilege of attending a talk by Mark Pincus at Startup2Startup. One of the tips he gave that really resonated with me was to "gamify everything."

For example, if users have to enter information to make your service more usable, give them a progress bar. In general, let the user "grind" - give them small, repetitive, mindless actions that are easy to accomplish and give instant, positive feedback. Above all, make the experience simplistic enough that they know what to focus on but interesting enough that they don't leave.

Reputation systems that have an effect in a community can also make people come back. Just look at HackerNews ;)

That solves one half of the terminal/GUI interaction disconnect, but I'd really like something to do the opposite too... keep a Finder window synced to my current working directory, preferably that floats above everything else* .

Why? There's a few things that you can't do with a Terminal, such as seeing and easily editing all the info from Get Info at once, or most things involving the use of a contextual menu - especially seeing what programs are in the Open With list (there may be a launch services related command, but you still can't pick one without typing another command (open -a Application file). Multi-file drag and drop is easier than multi-file cp, especially if you don't need a particularly named group of files that you can use a wildcard with - it's easier to shift-click or command-click than to type each one out individually, even if you can use tab completion.

* aliasing cd to end with an open . won't do, because that brings Finder to the front (which you can work around in bash), along with all the other open Finder windows (which you can't), and worse, it opens a new window every time instead of reusing the same one (another can't work around). The last two are because you can't, as far as I know, get a handle on a particular Finder window. I wonder if an AppleScript can get the job done. Hmm...
That read is absolutely HILARIOUS.

I wholeheartedly agree with this article. A great blog I recommend is musclehack.com. For each exercise, I do 3 sets of 8-12 reps and increase if I can get to 12 or decrease if I can only do 8.

I think one of the biggest errors I see at the gym are people NOT pushing 110%. No gains will be made unless you push yourself to the max. The way I judge a successful workout is how hard it is to lift my arms up to shampoo my hair in the shower afterward, how much my legs feel like jelly walking down stairs after, etc. I also love feeling sore the next day. It equals muscle fiber recruitment. Diet also has a big impact, but... I won't delve into that here.

I'm also starting to add in a bit of cardio post-lifting so I can get below 10% body fat (post lifting is the best time to run as your body is in the optimum state to burn fat), and just bought a pair of vibram fivefingers in preparation. Excited! Research barefoot running if you haven't heard of it, it is enlightening.

Personally, I think my tactic for identifying magic lamps counts as "hacking" according to your earlier definition.

The Solaris section is very short, but I suppose that's because SMF is very good.

Although if you do start using it, make sure your daemons fork, contrary to the advice at the beginning of the article. I've encountered some race conditions and other bugs when you use 'transient' processes which don't fork. Solaris doesn't need to poll the process list with forking daemons because it uses Contracts which keep track of a set of forking processes.
Well simply that your final paragraphs read a lot like "it's really really bad, we're all going to die".

Which is fair enough; but still worst case scenario (based on what I have read into it)
"I think one of the biggest errors I see at the gym are people NOT pushing 110%. No gains will be made unless you push yourself to the max."
This is essentialy the most important of working out in my eyes. If you're not pushing yourself to the max, you won't see any results.

Supposedly, if the rewards are randomly reinforced, they will be more addictive. Ie., if the same action sometimes creates positive feedback and sometimes negative, people will keep coming back because they are looking forward to the positive ones and can't predict when they will happen.

I don't know whether it works in practice though.
"treating weight lifting as cardio" is intended to build muscle that can perform. take anybody who uses a standard lifting program and they'd die 30 minutes into a p90x/insanity/conditioning program. do the same cardio with weight, or weight with more reps, and your muscles adapt to more continuous strain.

if you just care about looking buff or losing/gaining weight quickly, do few high-weight reps. if you're training to be a fighter or just want to be highly conditioned, do lots of reps.

No, he is saying that if your content doesn't have a robots.txt, then everyone is allowed to index the content of the site with no restrictions whatsoever.

I have limited experience with smf (mostly, I work with people who think it's really awesome and who would punch me if I didn't at least mention it). It seems to do a lot of things, which, in turn makes the descriptors a bit more verbose than launchd's.

If you have a good resource for introducing writing one of these, I'd love to link to it. In particular, the idea of forking seems to conflict with classic process monitoring.

I haven't been a solaris sysadmin in over a decade. I'm hopefully going to be taking care of some modern solaris boxes real soon now, though, so I'm looking forward to what all's changed.

Actually doing it, is something everybody can do.

I always assumed that the additional client side DNS lookup
would eliminate the increased bandwidth advantage that the
CDNs have

CDNs offer a bit more than bandwidth advantage.
First, if you have visited a site which used one of these CDNs already it most likely means that your browser won't even send a request for the resource (if CDN sets expire time into the future).
Second, even if this will be the first request for a resource it helps to work around the "connections per hostname" limitation in browsers. Let's say your browser allows 4 connections you will be able to fetch four resources in parallel.
Using CDN (with a different hostname) allows you to circumvent that. Then your are limited only by total number of connections browser allows and those numbers differ by order of magnitude: 2(IE7) to 6 (IE8, lates FF and Chrome versions) connections per hostname vs. 20 (Opera) to 60 (IE, Safari, Chrome) total connections.

The main activity that makes your body gain muscle is to subject it to exceptional amounts of work — that is to say, a lot more work than it is used to (combined with the intake of the necessary fuel to facilitate it).

It should be reasonably simple to understand that using your own bodyweight as resistance is a very inefficient means by which to achieve this.

Not only do you need to use weights to reach a level of efficiency, you need to also continuously push yourself harder all the time, or else your development curve will flatten.

It's my favorite exercise by far. Except the way I learned it is you bring your knees to your chest when you jump (that forces you to jump high).

I do 1, then 2, then 4, etc, taking about a 30 second break in between. It does both muscles and cardio. It's super-intense. Just go until you collapse. It gives you a solid workout in around five minutes.

Ok fair point. But it's worth considering; if I were a US citizen I really dont think I would sit much longer and endure the POS channels they have there (sorry to keep picking on the US - but they are the worst offenders by far).

> I can agree that some good programming ...

Oh it's more important than that.

The BBC are meant to be politically neutral - and they do a reasonably good job of being so. Better than anyone else by far.

It also funds the BBC website - which is easily one of the best news sites around (note how often it gets submitted here, and upvoted, as opposed to other general news sites :))

Additionally it funds iPlayer - HD streaming of BBC content. Again, yet to see a commercial offering as slick.

Finally the tax funds Ofcomm which regulates all TV - I think this is one of the main reasons we aren't suffering shoddy corrupted TV :D

There is a broader benefit as well. People are used to solid hours of content with no advertising on te BBC - which means other channels cant get away with as much as certain other countries cram in. Example: Channel 5 shows CSI from 9pm on Tuesdays. It has 10-12 minutes of advertising between segments and finishes at 9:50pm. In the US that fills a whole hour timeslot - they get 100% more advertising (20m) more than us.

So, yeh, I think it's a great deal for what you get (7 BBC channels and guaranteed between 3 and 10 other, well regulated, free-to-air channels plus the BBC website). Certainly I'd never consider paying for cable channels in the way other countries do :(
"...emphasize the lowering of the weights... This helps strengthen the inverse muscle, your triceps for arm curls, and improves your overall control."
