    Is this browser any good?

    I hate to burst the bubble of all you 'pristine' MS lovers, but I could post a link right now to a script that would irrecovably crash the computer of any IE user due to known IE vulnerabilities. It's not hard. The only thing with more security issues than IE is Windows itself. Mozilla is a...

    Trading while trying to lose weight on Atkins

    This is amazing. I haven't been back here in three months and LS is still talking smack about Atkins just to gain attention. Pretty sad if you ask me.

    Trading while trying to lose weight on Atkins

    Hmm: Walnuts - 20g Sour cream - 32g Mayonnaise - 88g Butter - 132g = 272 / 10 = 27.2g Guess he actually was closer than I :).

    Trading while trying to lose weight on Atkins

    Hope you don't use this kind of math when you trade. The only fat in the recipe is from butter, and 1.5 sticks of butter = 132g / 10 servings = 13.2g fat per serving By comparison, there is about 10g of fat in 15 potato chips.

    Trading while trying to lose weight on Atkins

    Ok, a few weeks ago my wife brought home some zero carb baking mix (specifically, this stuff). I've been playing with it and siezed upon this recipe for blueberry coffee cake. After several tries I'm on the verge of the perfect formula. The stuff I changed from their original recipe (or...

    Trading while trying to lose weight on Atkins

    This methodology does make sense, and would be wonderful if I didn't HATE snacking. My whole life I operated by the principle of "If you're not hungry, don't eat," and it never failed right up until I couldn't exercise for an extended period. I am better about getting my metabolism moving by...

    Interesting thoughts about God and society

    I almost hate to dredge this up again, but it turns out my Dad insisted on emailing it to me in 30pt bold so I was forced to track it down. For those interested, here is the actual Clayson/Graham interview. Comparing the two versions we can easily declare a 90% misquote rate. Just like most...

    LOTR Marathon

    LOTR = Lord Of The Rings :) (I'll wait for the third DVD and do it myself)

    Revolutionary new Freeware!

    Someone pointed me to this six months ago or so (I notice the page for it became a lot better since then). Not having anything to do at the time I actually did attempt various methods of getting it to do something (PHP includes into arbitrarily written code to get it to produce a blank line...

    What kind of pirate are ye?

    Believe it or not, this is official "Talk Like a Pirate Day." Here's the quiz to determine how pirate-inclined you really are. :)

    Incidentally, just out of curiosity I measured my wrists and they are 7 1/4. Still don't see what that has to do with anything though.

    Trading while trying to lose weight on Atkins

    No offense taken :). My dad, brother and I all have long arms (we can come pretty close to touching our knees while standing fully upright), and my wrists and fingers have always been slender. Can't really explain it. Back when I was into boxing (yeah, I miss that heavy bag too) I always had to...

    Trading while trying to lose weight on Atkins

    That's pretty much where I sit. I don't recall being under 150 since I was 16, and at 160 I have a 28" waist. 180-185 is the best range for me as long as I'm in shape. Cripes, even now after being unable to lift for over three years I bet I can still bench 245. And Gee, my bones are none of...

    Trading while trying to lose weight on Atkins

    Man, I don't dare try golfing again for at least another year. Same for the batting cage right down the street I've been yearning for. Sucks, but that's how it goes :). I actually have a stairmaster, but I hit the same mental block with it I do with stationary bikes and treadmills: You don't...

    Trading while trying to lose weight on Atkins

    Thanks man. I'll find a way of getting her to look into it that makes her think it was her idea :D. If she liked beer I have a feeling just two or three good beers a week would fix it. Beer is an amazing low-density source of complex carbs. A couple of quick notes on me personally while I'm...

    Trading while trying to lose weight on Atkins

    Here's something interesting. I doubt it applies to many here but you might have a wife, aunt, or sister or someone you can pass it on to if need be. My wife is approaching fifty and thus is immediately pre-menopausal. We've been on this diet since early May and over the past month she's been...

    9/11 time capsule guestbook

    At http://CommemorateWTC.com there is a time capsule guestbook with the theme of "Where were you on 9/11?" It's only open today and tomorrow then gets sealed up again until next year. Just thought some people in here might be interested.

    pizza guy that blew up

    The last I heard they were still looking for people. Had two sketches. Jury's still out on whether this guy was a willing participant or not. I catch stuff about it from time to time. As far as posting the link, I think I'll abstain. I'm a Gulf vet so I've seen worse, but it will get to some...

    pizza guy that blew up

    Okay, this is even worse. We all knew there were bootleg videos of this (several news crews were filming this guy) and some wacko pointed me to a copy. Am uncertain whether to post a link here or not...

    no passage of time at the speed of light

    You might wanna nab a copy of Bentov's Stalking the Wild Pendulum. He approaches this rather extensively in various aspects. Been a long time since I read the book (over ten years, anyway) so at best I'm forced to paraphrase, but basically he shows that using Einsteinian space-time...
