(Amazon CloudFiles too, but again, you need to upload files to them).

In addition, if you are just using GeoDNS to load balancing between two US east/west locations, the big wins with GeoDNS are really about users in Australia, Asia or Europe, for closer localities, the only way really is to use an Anycast base CDN, because the odds of an ISPs DNS servers not being close enough for GeoDNS are far too high.

I recently evaluated the state of the art in node.js frameworks for a project and came to some similar conclusions.

(fab) is incredibly cool, but lacks some maturity and the code is very dense and hard to reverse engineer.

geddy looks like a very solid framework, but I prefer having something a little more configurable and pluggable ... these types of things are coming, but geddy is a little too opinionated for my taste.

connect and express are what I am going with - in terms of heritage these are much more akin to sinatr/padrino, where geddy is a bit more railish. express/connect has a solid development team, burgeoning communitt and an agile and flexible underlying philosophy.

In a world where the dust is yet to settle on a default stack, I think having fewer opinions is actually a win ... as time progresses and there is a clear choice in node-land this will be less of an issue. but for now, loose coupling and high cohesion are the order of the day.

Fruit is delicious and digestible in its natural state. It attracts us with its appearance and smell. It has incredible amounts of sugar and nutrients. We should eat mangos and the like.

> I prefer fish to meat

As much as I like fish, and though it is in general good for you, commercial fishing is emptying our oceans at an alarming and unsustainable rate. If humans keep fishing at the current rate, we'll have emptied the oceans of fish by some time in the later half of this century. We'll be left with jellyfish, worms and krill as our only seafood.

Do you want your grandchildren to eat fish? Only buy sustainably sourced seafood!

I would just like to point out that oatmeal has a glycemic index of about 50 (out of 100). That's for plain oatmeal with nothing added, not the instant stuff or the sugar laden version most people end up with.
This is why I used to love playing EVE Online (in Goonfleet). Since ship loss (and now monetary loss) is permanent and fully sanctioned by the developers, it's way more thrilling and nerve-wracking than just dying and going on a corpse run. Not to mention the hilariousness of blowing up someone's shipyard hours before their Titan finished building (back when they were rare and represented months of an alliance's resource output).

I guess the closest thing in real life would be playing high-stakes poker.
Can somebody summarize what he "lets it all loose" about? I am too lazy to invest the time in watching a video unless I have a vague sketch that it will actually be something I'm interested in.

How Moore’s Law Has Spoiled Us for The Energy Revolution
Easy.

Eat food that our bodies (as hunters and gatherers) are designed to consume.

- no processed/fast/junk food

- no soft drinks, etc

- food that has low-gi carbs (quinoa, buckwheat, whole grains) to prevent insulin spikes, etc. Insulin spike is fine after a heavy workout.

- food heavy in fiber (such as whole grain food above)

- my typical meal: side of veggies, quinoa and wild salmon

Do a month where you only drink water. I typically don't drink anything except water or tea (green, etc).

I used to weight lift, so I researched heavily what kind of food I should be consuming.

Sugar is pretty much your enemy due its insulin spikes and glycogen storage. High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is evil.
We've been modifying and breeding plants and animals for thousands of years. All that's happening now is the process is speeding up. We know that sometimes it doesn't work (see Banana's), but in general things get better.

Better == What we optimize for. Which lately has unfortunately been appearance and shelf life, not taste and nutrients.
Where does sustainable start? I was looking into farm raised fish today and it seems they cause problems for wild populations, AND are worse for you. One example I read was about farm raised salmon having almost no Omega-3 and lots of Omega-6.
Is "player-initiated obstacle" a euphemism for murdering lower-level toons and taking all their loot? If so, I don't see where the fun comes in for most people.

The thing about games is that, even when they're challenging, there needs to be thought and care put into balancing the challenges. Griefers don't do this. That's why they're called "griefers" rather than "funners."

The reason this is an especially big problem in RPGs (more than, say, an FPS) is the defining quality of the genre — character progression. To my level 3 bard, your level 100 demon master is much more than an obstacle, he's the equivalent of the 256th level of Pac-Man. Game over, instantly.

I used to think the way you do, because it really does sound nice in theory. But it requires a very special kind of community to make work, and most gamers do not have a place there, and I don't know any way to apply the right kind of social pressure to make sure everybody is dedicated to making the game fun at the expense of winning.
I accidentally pressed Ctrl+A in Chrome on Win7 and can do nothing about it.
When you are targeting multiple platforms, it pays to choose an abstraction framework like titanium or phonegap. Using these frameworks, your app can easily be ported.
Bigger problem with the cannibalism: so much of the human livestock around would be poorly fed. Just as corn-fed cattle are less healthy than their grass fed brethren, so too would the many unhealthy humans around provide for poor meals, I think.
The USDA recommendations are almost universally considered wrong, perhaps even exactly backwards.

I'm not familiar with the USDA recommendations, but from quickly looking at them[1] I can't see what would be so wrong.

Sounds like you're looking for CloudFront. I run a site with similar usage to yours (at least on the upload side), and I see about $6 in S3 charges and another $8 for CloudFront each month.

As the grandparent said, I just can't see why anybody would spend even a minute thinking about rolling their own CDN on their own servers for anything but the most extreme use cases. It's a solved problem, and it's ridiculously cheap.
I bought a HTC Hero thinking that it would be more open and Linux friendly as an Android device. It's not. I can't even update the firmware to 2.1 to get the cool new Google apps.
The article briefly touches on the fact that this is a Depression and not a recession. More should be said about this obvious fact as awareness of this should drive decisions made.

The article says that the solution is "more training" in institutions (and thus more debt for the unemployed) because "their jobs are not coming back".

More training in WHAT? The lost jobs were not making buggy whips, a pointless task for which there is simply no demand any longer because horse drawn carriages are obsolete.

The lost jobs have been in manufacturing which has been shipped overseas to countries with no enforced labor wage or environmental laws with which we, a country with enforced labor, wage, and environmental laws, can not possibly compete. The jobs did not become obsolete, they were shipped to a location where they can be done cheaper because they can be done without regard to human rights or the cost to the environment of dumping toxins straight into rivers and oceans.

These jobs are not gone because they are not needed. They are gone because they are being done by slave labor. Paid labor with benefits and a living wage costs more than slave labor and will always cost more, no matter how much "training" is done. Slave labor being cheaper is not a problem that putting people further into debt through "training" will solve. But it does have the effect of wasting time and effort, enslaving our own population through further debt, increasing government power as they get to control, regulate, tax and fund it all, and increase the income and power of bankers benefiting from no risk guaranteed student loans.

These buy vs rent calculators assume that any savings made from paying rent instead of mortgage is paid directly into an investment account. I.e. you sock away the full theoretical mortgage amount less rent paid into a managed fund or some such.

The reality that I've seen is that people never actually do that, or at least not to the full degree, and treat the difference as extra disposable interest. And so the money gets frittered away and the calculations are wrong.

You can't do that with a mortgage: you have to pay it, and so therefore people have an enforced savings/investment discipline. And also the incentive to sock as much money into their house as quickly as possible, to pay down the debt.

So the money side is generally better, and you generally get a better house, when buying. But it's a bit of a commitment which some people will avoid on principle.
I have been in your situation on many occasions. I have gone vegetarian, vegan, omnivore, whatever you want to call it I have been there. It is a questions that can never be finitely answered. Everyone is different and the human body adapts to what it is given. (An eskimo community in Wales eats 90% fat)

The most rewarding diet(I hate the term diet because it ensures only short-term gain) that I have found is the Paleo Diet. http://paleodiet.com/ (horrible website I know)

Pretty much you just eat what you would expect to find hundreds of years ago.

Dean Karnazes(One of the best Ultra-Marathoners) swares by this diet. Here is a PDF of his daily diet plan.
http://cl.ly/26c8cffdcda16a8dd212

I pretty much follow that regular plan, I do also run marathons, but it is definitely worth following in a normal phyical environment.

I would also reccomend the green smoothie. 7:3 fruit:greens ratio.

Usual Ingredients:

Strawberries
Banana
Water
(Ice if you want it thicker)
Greens

As you continue to get more accustomed to greens you can up the ratio. I LOVE it.

Best of luck to you man. Don't let my opinion deter you from others. Although I would NEVER follow Gary Taubes. He is also the guy who questions exercise. That's just insane.

On that note. It is important to exercise. Start small, and do an activity that you know you would enjoy.
Unfortunately I have the same problem with sources as the original poster. Nutrition science has become so sensationalized that it's hard to take any of it seriously.

I take my cue mostly from an instinct developed over years of paying attention to how my diet makes me feel. Stuff like CSIRO's book [http://www.csiro.au/science/TWD.html] do influence that instinct - I feel that their research is somewhat removed from the profit motive.

Discrimination / reservation dilemma in Brazil
> Therefore, we as a society have two choices. 1) Let people be poor. 2) Pay for them to live like human beings

This is what's known as a false dichotomy.

A similar false dichotomy would read, "Therefore, we as a society have two choices. 1) Let criminals rule the world and have no laws. 2) Execute everyone who commits any crime."

There's other ways.

Well, it comes down to what you would rather immerse yourself in: PvM or PVP. To me, now given our ability to create these worlds I would rather have the level 100 Demon master be a person instead of AI. Yes, that demon might lie in between to great cities which i need courier between, but never-the-less a villan to overcome.
Tips about Converting WMV to iPhone 4G/iPhone 3G/3Gs on Mac or Win
I was wondering if anyone has figured out how to play WMV videos on the iPhone. I have a bunch of videos that I played on my blackberry but I can't save them and play them on my iPhone. Can anyone help?

For Windows and Mac users, you may be able to get iTunes to convert them (in the Advanced menu, select Create iPhone or iPod version). If not, you'll have to use a 3rd-party converter to convert WMV files to iPhone.

Pretty much any coral atoll will do. Kiribati comes to mind for example. The problem with these examples is that coral atolls sink naturally, a coral atoll is what is left after the volcano it was around has finished sinking into the ocean. It has nothing whatsoever to do with rising sea levels. Everyone worldwide who is among the millions living on coral atolls today is facing "rising oceans" and salivating over possible global warming payouts from carbon tax funds. But their atolls are sinking regardless of whether carbon dioxide levels are creating warming. In fact, higher carbon dioxide levels being absorbed into the oceans (which is happening) create accelerated coral growth and offset some of the sinking effects. You might as well say that more carbon dioxide is needed as it can save these atolls. But in reality nothing can save them, all atolls sink. Building roads on them and driving to and fro is known to accelerate the sinking as well.
I didn't think so many nukes had been set off. Before knowing that fact, I'd have thought 2,000 nukes would give radiation poisoning to a decent portion of the the world.
Most fish eat smaller fish. So farmed fish are fed fishfood which is made from caught wild fish. It takes something like 5kg of anchovies to make 1kg of farmed salmon.

Sustainable fishing means taking less from the sea, adhering to quotas, not continuing to catch species at risk, and setting up sanctuaries where fish stocks can replenish.

I watched the first 10 minutes of Jason's speech and he talks about how broken the VC system was with the "pay to pitch" schemes and how he publicly increased pressure on those events until he finally started his open angel forum as an alternative.

Jason proceeds to give advice on how to get visibility with VCs, having an active and consistent twitter, blog etc presence. He then used a term I had never heard before, "FOFing" for "friend of a friend"ing as a tactic to gain access to VCs.

Then I remembered I hate sycophants and stopped watching.

Is the only goal in game making to support the most people? What about those 60k? Should no one provide for their interests because they are a smaller group than the 11 million? I would say there is very little overlap between the two groups so you can't say WoW is servicing both.

India Asks, Should Food Be a Right for the Poor?
Ah yes, use whole oatmeal instead of instant oatmeal - it actually doesn't take much longer to cook. Definitely stay away from the sugary junk.

The real advantage to oatmeal is that the fiber is quite high - this has many advantages, a big one being that you'll feel full and satisfied for the first part of the day. Also, 300 calories of oatmeal is 56 grams of carbohydrates, but only 1 gram of sugar [1]. Correct me if I'm mistaken, but I think oatmeal is pretty much all glucose-based carbs and fiber, which is the healthier form of carbohydrate. (Fructose/sucrose/sugars being the worse form)

The difficult thing is that it depends completely on the person.

Some might thrive on meat and vegetables while bread and wheat makes them lose energy. Some really need the grain and the crops and meat makes them feel ill. Some need something in between and some people balance themselves on a totally different axis. Moreover, anything you crave for is probably bad for you at that time.

Eating vegetables seems pretty universal. I've never heard of a person who couldn't eat vegetables, sans extreme cases of sensitivy or allergies with regard to specific produce. So, start with vegetables and add what you feel like.

Personally, I buy fresh ingredients and cook most of my own food. Organic, if available. Very little bread and if so, it's 100% rye: this one is easy in Finland. No processed foods unless I'm enjoying the occasion of eating out and can't really control where the stuff originally comes from.
To rephrase and reverse astrec's comment: Depends a little on what you hope to get from University: a vocational qualification or higher learning. People who are looking for higher learning are already using online resource instead of, or in addition to, existing universities.

Talks about a VC who wasn't comfortable with his valuation so he cancelled while he was on the way. He went to their office anyways.

He curses a lot while he tells this. Says he will tell everyone never to do business with you. Says you have to have a gangster attitude to deal with them.
