I'm sorry, I of course meant low GI. Which is in line with "less of stuff that has [...] too quick energy" and "keeping you from having cravings", i.e. keeping your blood sugars stable. But I didn't write that, so good of you to call me out on it!

Most people don't want nor need to train and look like a bodybuilder. Bodybuilders do things that might be great for aesthetics, but not always necessarily straight forward nor healthy for the beginner. If you feel that you are at a decent level of fitness and want to take it to the next level, I would first look at the strength and conditioning programs of "normal" athletes.

Some people likes the routine of going to the gym, others rather do something at home. Whatever works for the moment and keeps you enjoying it is great.

What I mean by doing the basics right is that if you're out of shape, there's no need to be guinea pig.

Eat or drink less of stuff that has too much or too quick energy i.e. fat and sugar. Avoid too much alcohol. Eat normal amounts of protein and carbohydrate with high GI and drink water, keeping you from having cravings. Exercise both anaerobically and aerobically, with warm-up and stretching. Get enough rest. Do it all regularly and measure the progress.

There's some good things and some bad in this post, but because he doesn't back things up it's basically just a list of opinions. That's what causing the problems in the first place, people relaying on catchy one liners instead of doing the basics right.

I don't see any problem with this, it clearly states that the articles are from Wikipedia. As long as they don't change the license they can more or less rework and distribute it however they like. There are also others doing similar things.

Especially when it's genuine. Christian was programming before I was born.

Also Neonode did this back in 2004/2005 with the N1. Apple's patent is a month old.

Edit: from question to statement.

This is somewhat interesting from a "games are losing their soul" perspective, but at least five years late. Also game piracy isn't new and has mostly been "solved" by consoles and online multiplayer.

Ps. Calling copyright infringement "stealing" still makes you seem, at best, uneducated.

Well, I don't know about the US. But I went from xDSL to FTTB (& FTTH) in Sweden and it's cheaper, more reliable and have less latency. I can choose between speeds ranging from 1 to 100Mbit, from eight diffrent ISPs [1]. If you want good performance you need to install new cables and, if done right, FTTP is just the best way to do it.

I also reacted before I noticed the sarcasm. The thing is that it's quite common seeing such statements that actually are serious. Sweden is also not socialist country, if anything it's social democratic (nordic model), which should not be confused with democratic socialism. Norway is quite unique because of their riches from oil.

Don't know about the last two, but some people would definitely benefit from learning table manners and fork etiquette.

English is not my first language and I find it very frustrating when people nitpick on words. The first year of my fashion studies was (more or less) devoted to the meaning of the word 'fashion', but I still manage to understand what people mean by using it.

What I meant was statement in the sense of fashion[1], which is the connotation of your clothes, 'reavealing information' as you put it. But if you are deliberately buying geeky t-shirt or 'easy' clothes, you are still making a conscious statement, for example "I'm a geek" and "I prefer comfort over fit". In the event that the selection of your clothes is not deliberate, there's still the connotation of them. For example, with 'easy' clothes some may look at you as a slob, while others sees you as laid back.

While you can be outside of the 'fashion system', your clothes still have meaning, to you and to others. If you want to read a proper simile regarding fashion, i.e. not with http headers, I can (almost) recommend the works of Roland Barthes [2].

Fashion is one of those things (like etiquette, social norms and maybe religion) that you need to understand to willfully ignore. You're making just as much of a statement by wearing jeans and a t-shirt as someone wearing a suit. For me a truly relaxed view on fashion is when, while other peoples view of you might change with your appearance, your view of yourself never does. Insight over ignorance.

You could try watching SVT (Swedish) at http://svtplay.se/t/126795/os-sandningar ('okommenterad' means 'without commentary')

For anyone who knows Swedish, I can recommend (the free) book "De som byggde Internet i Sverige" (They built the Internet in Sweden) http://www.isoc.se/index.php?option=com_content&view=art...

I'm also in Sweden, with 100 Mbit/s FTTB (Cat. 7) via OpenNet for $45/month. FTTH is present but not currently enabled. Once you have FTTx you're quite future proof, if it was installed "correctly". I use Bahnhof as my ISP, for their nice stance on privacy.

That's just the thing. The US didn't ask the EU, they just secretly subpoenaed the records from SWIFT, which had a mirror server in the US with all the records (incl. transactions inside the EU). Breaking several countries privacy laws in the process.

SWIFT has changed their infrastructure to no longer mirror to the US, So the US pressured the European Council to create an interim agreement allowing the US to access EU banking data. This agreement was made one day before the Lisbon Treaty went into effect, which gives the European Parliament increased powers. So while the EP can't cancel the interim agreement, they've now voted against the continuation of the deal.

After reading this thread, I'm just amazed how out of touch with reality a lot of the people here seem. Iraq is a war zone, one of the most dangerous places on the planet. Going there to experience the culture or the people is just absurd. There's a reason why you'll make relatively much money. And it's not because it's an awesome experience while you're there. Just the fact of being confined to a military base for a year is going to affect your life tremendously.

One example of this that comes to mind is the Xbox. When the Xbox was first released, while being essentially a computer, it was only meant for playing games and watching dvds. Later when modding became easy, and therefor widespread, people developed new applications that made the Xbox do things it wasn't supposed to do. One of these applications was XBMC, or Xbox Media Center, which from the beginning was a 'clone' of Windows Media Center. But today is the basis for startups like Boxee and Voddler, and is the (IMO) most competent htpc platform, as well as the most 'cutting edge' one. Redefining the way we think about media.

There's a similar story with the Linksys WRT54G routers. And while you might be able to jailbreak the iPad, it's just a lot less likely that a community will be able to form around 'alternative' usages.

This thread is a good example, for one of the reasons, why I try not to read HN comments anymore. (Failed this time though, as I'm very interested in serious discussions on this topic)

There's a lot of information out there for anyone who wants to actually try and understand the issues, instead of dismissing people who have though about them and claiming everything is bullshit, econ101 and stealing. How can you even have a discussion with someone that can't even differentiate between physical property and intellectual property?

Either we try and work around the issues and find solutions, or give up civil liberties in the name of stagnating business models. Incomprehension and ignorance must be the lobbyists best friends.

Yes, money is just type of incentive. You want to experiment and measure what works best, maybe even let authors choose what they want.

If you are looking to evolve the site here are some suggestions: Create an online editor in javascript or flash that lets your users create and edit cheat sheets online. Leverage a CC license so your users can print and spread the created cheat sheets (free advertising). Sell prints (photos), mousepads, booklets etc. While offering free products or a monetary reward to the authors (threadless style). Also let the author give their reward to a related organization (like the python software foundation for a python cheat sheet). Keep user participation high and the site organized with tagging and ranking features.

It's more like building a neighborhood from scratch, taking care of it for fifteen years, and then seeing the ones you handed it over to being bought by the ones who owns the rest of the city.

I don't get where people get this strange attitude from. Like you're more of a "sellout" when you build a company over time, with an open source product and don't want to be controlled by your competitor. Than if you, like most startups today, build a proprietary product with the intention of selling to you biggest competitor as soon as possible.

Not the infringement itself, and not for the consumer. My main point was that the relation between copying and copyright infringement is arbitrary(1). Someone who argues that people won't create things if there is widespread copying, needs to realize that copying already is widespread.

I do get your point though. fashion and files are not the exact same thing, but are more related than one thinks. There's also other effects of the consumer being the distributor. Even 10 years ago there where no scalable method to distribute out-of-copyright works in a non-profit way, and therefor a lifetime of copyright made more sense.

(1) Hopefully has the same meaning in English, what I mean is that it's constructed and not a prerequisite for the act of creating things. Copyright law is cultural, not 'natural', as demonstrated by the pressure of US companies and government on other nations regarding copyright law.

In industries where copying is accepted, like with cooking and fashion, the level of creativity is very high. You could argue that a high fashion brand "loses money" when a low price retailer, like H&M or Zara, produces more or less the same design, but very few do.

I recommend reading "The Pirate's Dilemma" which is available from $0.00 upwards at http://thepiratesdilemma.com/download-the-book

Edit: The difference between the high fashion brand and the low price retailer clothes are quality, perceived quality, recognition/brand, legitimacy and cost. Which is more or less the same difference as between a pirated copy and an original one.

You need to declare it to be able to have your case locked.

I didn't mean edition as in revision. It might be the exact same book, the barcode might be different or whatever. Amazon lists them the same way if you do a regular search.

Different editions and publishers, McGraw-Hill vs The MIT Press.

I really wish they would implement a feature that lists similar topics when you are about to submit a new one.

Yes, you need a detonator, but it still not "very hard" to detonate. It's actually relatively sensitive to impact, and very sensitive to explosive initiation. If you call (basically) the most sensitive secondary explosive for "very hard to detonate" (like he did) you are probably not very experienced with explosives, which was my point in the first place. And while I'm very far from an explosives expert, my experiences are not from the movies.
