    Of course, all the best intelligence they had at the time points to the existence of hidden stashes of P2Ps. How could they have known?

    Well, if you run an open relay, you'll get put on all blacklists shortly. Then you won't be able to send anyone email.

    If you run an open AP, (I actually have a MAC whitelist, but anyway) as far as I can tell, everything continues to work fine. I fail to see the connection.

    Furthermore there is no correlation between body mass index and the number of calories used!


    Body fat isn't magic. It comes from food you eat. If you are exercising more and still have more weight, it means you are eating too much. People need to stop looking for excuses.

    And yes, BMI sucks.

    Damn. That's crazy power. I can hold 320W for 5 minutes, or maybe 10 if I'm in shape. How much do you weigh?

    I refuse to learn to drive stick because it *is* more complicated and adds no value for me. I have no problem attempting and failing, but I won't bother attempting if there is no possible gain. I think that is the reason most people don't drive manual.
