  1. Mistyped? on How Do Geeks Exercise? · · Score: 1

    I think you might have mistyped?
    "Strength training destroys muscle mass: your body spends extra energy for days after the session is over rebuilding the damaged tissue."

    Actually it's the opposite but since you seem to know that already I am assuming you made a typo? I've done the same thing as you but starting BF % was lower I think around 20-22%.

    It's not a myth. http://exercise.about.com/od/exerciseworkouts/f/muscle.htm
    While at rest it's actually burning 3x more calories than fat but while you're moving around the muscle is contracting and burning even more energy whereas your fat cells aren't doing anything and thus overall the more muscle you have the more calories you are going to burn while active.

  3. Re:This will have to change... on Inside Apple's iPhone SDK Gag Order · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Me thinks you are not an Apple developer. Go to one WWDC and see how helpful the engineers are with your code and you will quickly change your mind.

    It worked for petitioning Rogers in Canada for better data plans.

    The iPhone SDK is not beta any more. The download is iphone_sdk_final.dmg

    Check out Apple's own forum where people are discussing the iPhone SDK and have been for months http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=727&start=0

  9. Re:no sale, here, then on Inside Apple's iPhone SDK Gag Order · · Score: 1

    There are at least 3 public places I know about that talk about the SDK and so far no one at Apple has done anything about it. One is Apple's own discussion forums at http://discussions.apple.com/

    The whole thing is quite puzzling especially since they don't seem to care about the conversations on their own forums.

  10. Re:Really why now? on IPhone 2.0 Jailbroke · · Score: 1

    There are still people who want to have their phone on non official carriers or people like me who are on an official carrier with an EDGE phone but the carrier only supports the newer 3G phone. That is Rogers for me and my older Rogers SIM card does not work with the activation for some reason. So, I am iPhucked for a little while until the SIM unlock comes out. Yeah I'm dumb that I upgraded but you'd think that a SIM card from an official carrier would work..

  11. Re:No Longer Relevant on IPhone 2.0 Jailbroke · · Score: 1

    For a lot of things it's not relevant to jailbreak but for me I still seemingly have to do a SIM unlock with my current Rogers SIM card even though now Rogers is officially carrying the iPhone 3G. I'm not sure exactly what the problem is but iTunes reports that my Rogers SIM card is invalid. So, something is possibly locking out older Rogers SIM cards or something. I don't have any newer one to try out yet.

  12. Re:Let's not forget corporate laptops... on Workplace BlackBerry Use May Spur Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    I have both a blackberry and a laptop from work and I leave both at work. I guess I'm maybe different because I'm on contract but I have absolutely no reason to even want to take those home. The BB is old and cracked and the incessant buzzing drives me so crazy that I turned it off. At home I have my own Macs to use so no reason to take home the Windows laptop.

    I couldn't play an MP3 on my Mac IIci which was all of 24 or so MHz. I remember exporting it to a WAV so I could listen to it and it took hours to do that.

  15. Re:I tried fring over wifi on iPhone App Enables GSM To WiFi/VoIP Switching · · Score: 1

    Yeah no kidding right? Half of it was my carrier(Rogers Canada) and the other half was AT&T charging me to be on their network. Last year's WWDC I accidentally dialed a number that only connected for about a second and since Rogers/Robbers doesn't have per second billing I got stuck with this $2.70 charge for making a one second accidental phone call.

  16. Re:extinction of zinc? on Supplies of Rare Earth Elements Exhausted By 2017 · · Score: 1

    I was thinking the same thing. It take in 30mg supplemental zinc per day due to the fact that people that are physically active require more zinc.

    Actually, it's not completely implemented due to some problems they had with some components of the OS. Check here http://www.matasano.com/log/981/a-roundup-of-leopard-security-features/

  20. Re:Reinventing XUL... BADLY on Cocoa-Like JavaScript Framework Announced · · Score: 1

    It's beta ffs, and they haven't even publicly released the framework. Give it some time. I don't see anywhere that they claim it works 100% on every browser yet.

    Good job on the framework(and the app). I can't wait until it's released so I can use it myself.

  22. Re:Feh on Cocoa-Like JavaScript Framework Announced · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So it sounds like maybe you're using IE then which is notoriously bad at javascript compared to FF or Safari. Or maybe you're using Opera in which case I don't know anything about it or it's performance in javascript. It shouldn't matter what browser you are using but when some of them suck at standards compliance or some have bad js interpreters then it does matter for now. Also, the site is likely being hosted on a single server because the company is only 3 guys in their 20s who just launched it. You should know by now that when something gets posted on slashdot the site will be slow.

  23. Re:We always find fault on /. on Cocoa-Like JavaScript Framework Announced · · Score: 1

    Well, it was just posted on slashdot so perhaps it's their server being slow responding to requests that halts the application UI thread and makes it feel slow. A few weeks ago when it was announced, I tried it and it was really fast. Also, you should check it at least on FF 3.x or Safari 4 preview or a Webkit nightly if you have access to that because both have much faster javascript engines compared to FF 2.x, Safari 3.x and IE x.x

  24. Re:fring... on iPhone App Enables GSM To WiFi/VoIP Switching · · Score: 1

    Actually it is, look at the video. It does look like it works a lot better than fring. It's publicly available but to me it looks way better than fring, which, like many of the jailbreak apps is of pretty low quality and buggy as hell.

  25. Re:Watch the UK networks disable it on iPhone App Enables GSM To WiFi/VoIP Switching · · Score: 2, Informative

    The reason it's disabled over EDGE is because EDGE is very high latency and low data rate. It would be terrible to try VOIP over it. Actually I remember when the iPhone voip app called fring first came out, the people at tuaw tried a call over EDGE and it was complete garbage.
