90% of getting into shape is nutrition. Stop eating pizza, and have a chicken breast and some rice or something. Also, if you're trying to gain muscle, divide your current weight by 1.5, this is the number of grams of protein you'll need a day to gain muscle most efficiently.
I use Isopure. It's the *ONLY* product that is totally 100% ion-exchange whey protein. Other brands have whey protein concentrate and totally suck compared to isopure. Also, you can mix it with a spoon, you don't need a blender.
You *may* want to look into taking Creatine if you're not seeing results in the first month. It works for some, but not for all. I'd read up on it before you take it. Creatine and protein powder are probably going to have the most effect for you. Of course, you need to eat right too. If you eat 6 small meals a day instead of 3 big ones, it will raise your metabolism and you'll lose fast quicker too.
ATT Wireless has this now with their M-mode service. You give friends permission to locate you, and they can just go to "location services" on the phone, and it tells where you're at. It's accurate to within a block.
Their "find businesses" thing can use it too, so you can find the closest gas station, restaraunt, or strip club.
These have been around for awhile. We have them in some of our conference rooms, and we got them over 2 years ago. They're pretty cool for playing Q3 on the 12 foot screen.:) It's very easy to aim with it as you just hold down the trigger and point it at what you want to shoot, much easier than moving a regular mouse to aim.
There are a ton of card counting techniques, and I believe it was in the rec.games.blackjack FAQ where I saw some payoff percentages associated with different methods.
I wonder how easy it would be to make a genetic algoritm that would find the "optimum" card counting technique.
Live in the dorms, or find someone who does and hang out there a lot. My first year in college sucked because I lived by myself and I didn't know anyone. So I ditched that place and answered an ad for a roommate with 3 other people. Yeah, it detracted from my study time, and it definitely hurt my grades. But I'm probably a better person because of it.
Oh yeah, Frats suck, don't waste your time. After a year or so, you'll start to notice how much people despise frat boys, you don't want to be one of them.
The people stealing and selling the stolen phones are breaking the law already, what makes anyone think they won't break this new law and change the IMEI number. Stupid.
Barefoot Tourists: Hi there! We forgot to tell you about the great built-in GPS module
Actually, with ATT Wireless, you can locate other GSM phone users. It's accurate to within a block or so. I have a T68i and a few people I work with have them. The locate feature is sweet. Just go under mMode -> Location Services. You need to "ask permission" to the people you want to locate before it will let you.
It's HP's own damn fault the flaw exists. And now they are trying to squash out legitimate publication of it. All they are doing is driving the exploit underground where only script kiddies will have access to it.
If the security community doesn't know about the flaws (and workarounds to fix them), and the script kiddies do, they are biting their own asses because they are going to have a really shitty insecure product that is going to have a reputation for being hax0red.
Yeah, the flaw was released without telling HP first, but who cares... HP needs to FIX THEIR SHIT and stop the bitching.
Ok, so I want a desktop that takes advantage of my 3d card to do cool effects, specifically this:
Imagine a desktop which is twice as wide as your screen, it is bent inward and anchored to either edge of your monitor. Apps that you are not working in are plastered against the curve, but when you make a window active, it brings it forward and sticks it to the inside of your screen. Sort of a virtual desktop like feature, but you can see the whole thing at once rather than having to go into each one.
I've had a couple motorola phones in the past, and all I can say is that they have sucked. Maybe the i95 is an exception, but motorola's UI systems have always been crap, and battery life is shit. 45 hours of standby and 2 hours talk? C'mon, that sucks ass. My Sony Ericcson T68i has 480 hours standby and 7 hours of talk time. Though reality is a little less, but not much.
Plus, the T68i is $149, not a whopping $399. It has all of the features that the i95 has except that walkie talkie crap. I can sync the thing with my PIM via IR or bluetooth, I can run a little outlook plugin thing just like the guy writing the article and access all of my Outlook crap in real time, or I can even load some pr0n on the phone to view when I'm bored or send to a friend who's feeling down.
$399 for a phone with poor battery life does not seem like a good deal to me. And that price is *with* service, if nextel is discounting this phone like most providers do, this thing is an insane ripoff. Save yourself the money and get a T68i with ATT, Voicestream, or Cingular service. It has the same features, in a ligher package, for less, and with the best battery life of any phone I've ever had.
"Traffic lights, pacemakers, appliances -- all subject to outages and interruptions because in the future they're controlled via Internet, declares Schmidt.
Pacemakers? What a dumbass. Although, it would be kinda cool to have cron job which turned grandpa on and off.
Releasing OSX for x86 would most certainly kill Apple's hardware business. However, if they could convince Dell to sell Dell branded Apple machines, they'd gain a ton of marketshare.
Dell's acheived the holy grail of advertising. When most hear the words "new computer", they think Dell. If Dell offered a choice of OSX or Windows when buying a machine, it most certainly would be good for Apple. Dell's advertising campaigns are hugely successful, despite my overwhelming hatred for that "Dude, you're getting a Dell" guy.
By doing something like this, Apple maintains their hardware business, AND gets a major pc manufacturer to sell products that run OSX.
Use and old desktop (free) with snort (free) and use it as a firewall.
Using an old machine is fine for a small network, but anything that does a significant amount of traffic is going to need a fast machine. Trust me, I know. I've used snort for a couple of years and checking every packet that comes in against every rule is very processor intensive.
Also, running snort on a firewall is a stupid thing to do. Snort has had a couple of buffer overflow exploits in the past which would allow an attacker to get a shell on the box. Some admins are stupid and run snort as root, which is a big no-no. And even if they don't run as root, an attacker could use his non-root shell to perform a local root exploit and gain root access. While snort is a security program, that doesn't mean it's secure.
I've tried NFR and ISS, and both sucked bigtime, especially considering the outrageous pricing.
First, Exchange allows you to use the web to access emails and calendar service? I found it to be faster than Evolution. That said, here is my own experience using Evolution.
Yeah, but have you tried using OWA under Exchange 5.5? It sucks ass. No better than a hotmail account, and slower. Now OWA for Exchange 2000 is nice. It looks and feels just like Outlook. It's better under IE since there are activeX controls for most of it, but using under mozilla is still quite nice. If you have 5.5 though, the web interface is a pig and not worth using except in a dire emergency.:)
I run a cluster of high volume mail servers that use syslog-ng to log to a remote syslog server. This reduces disk IO for each message and actually gives a very noticable performance increase. However, I noticed under periods of very high volume, I was losing nearly 50% of my log entries. Syslog-ng has the ability to use TCP for logging, so I switched, and I haven't lost any entries yet.
UDP is great for things you that aren't useful if retransmitted later, like real time apps (Quake, video streams, audio streams, etc.) But to ensure no loss at all, you need to use TCP.
Same damn thing where I work. Everyone here makes enough money to buy their own shit, but they'd rather steal it out of the fridge. Someone opened up my lunch bag one day and took my roast beef/horseradish sandwich. I complain, but no one does anything about it. All we need is a "If you are caught taking other people's food from the fridge, you are fired" email.
Luckily, I'm one of one a handful of people that has a key to the storage room, and I have an extra mini-fridge at home. Some night, I'll sneak it in there so I can lock my food up. Pretty sad.
So when I play and I die, I wonder what he's going to do when I grab the cord to the controller and start whacking the thing on the cement like I do at home.
Get a Servicat. I don't have a link handy right now, and I'm too damn lazy to find one, but a google search will turn up tons of pages.
A Servicat is half African Serval (like a mini-leopard) and half Bengal (a standard housecat, but is at least some part Asian Leopard). They are legal in most states because they are only considered 50% exotic.
I have 2 Bengals, and they rule. If they weighed like 30 or 40 pounds like a Servicat, they would be hella cool.
I used ATT and TW as an example because I know for a fact that they have plenty of capacity. True though, there are many players bigger than two I mentioned that are likely in the same boat.
ATT's "list" prices for connectivity are outrageous, but they get very competitive if they think you'll go somewhere else. TW is small now, but they have the "last mile" advantage. Since they're in bed with TW cable, they can run their fiber along side CATV routes without having to get all the permits you'd normally need to dig up the streets, and in most cases, they can get by without digging (if you don't mind your fiber being run on poles, which does keep it out of the way of backhoes). TW may be a bit player for now, but they are growing fast and they have a pretty sweet infrastructure. And from what I've seen, their pricing is very competitive.
Sidgmore said UUNet handles more than 50 percent of U.S. Internet traffic, including about 70 percent of all e-mails sent within the United States and half of e-mails sent in the world.
So, if they handle only 50% of all internet traffic, wouldn't it stand to reason that they also handle roughly 50% of all email? Given the amount of spam that I get that originates from UUNet, it's not surprising that the percentage of spam is much greater than their traffic as a whole. UUNet has been a haven for spammers since the dawn of the internet. They rarely disconnect spamming customers, and their larger "corporate" spammers enjoy a provider that won't hassle them since UUNet make a lot of money off them.
I, for one, won't feel a bit of sorrow if they go under. I don't think we'll have too much trouble. I know for a fact that Time Warner and ATT have *A LOT* of dark fiber right now, and a good portion of it is ready to be lit up because they know they're going to need to increase capacity soon. The tier-2 ISP's are going to be hardest by this since a very large percentage of them rely on their links to UUNet, hence, many tier-3 isp's will probably see issues also because of limits on their upstream providers network. For those of us with connections directly to other tier-1 providers, I doubt we'll see any problems.
I wonder if the number of spams I receive will drop if UUNet goes away...
