Yes, they all drowned in the wave. Read more

Whitson's got a nice post on that coming up later today, complete with a video walkthrough. :) Read more

If you really really want that and you have a faster machine you'll probably do fine upgrading early. But if you can wait a couple of weeks for the first bug fix update I'd wait. Read more

I think that's a pretty good policy. Personally, I wish I hadn't upgraded to Mavericks and think it's worth waiting here, but then I did it on both a personal and work machine. :) If I'd only done it on the personal machine I probably wouldn't care. Read more

Haha probably :) Read more

Over the course of two weeks a desktop and a laptop showing similar issues. I've been polling others (friends and followers) for those two weeks as well. I didn't just dump those issues in here because I found them on one computer. I also checked to see if the same problems are occurring in forums and they are. … Read more

Or you could just run about a mile every weekday, which takes at most 15 minutes, and then you'd be exercising. That'd also get you the same distance as 10 marathons a year. Not that you want to sit down all year or anything, but you've got options. :) Read more

Yeah the batteries in these things ought to be a bit bigger. They're usually like 3,000mAh. I'd rather have a chunkier drive that can power itself for a good eight hours than something a bit slimmer that won't last. Read more

Yeah, the PogoPlug is a nice, underrated device. Great for a home web server, too, if you feel like hacking it. :) Read more

We're looking into this, actually. I'm going to test out a few options with apps and see if any are good. There will be another post in a week or so if anything works out. :) Read more

A lot of newer routers are supporting this out of the box, too. I haven't had an occasion to use the feature yet, but both of my routers (one is an access point for signal extension) have it built in. Read more

What we're saying doesn't really differ much from what Dr. Lustig has said for years. He says (in that talk, in fact) that sugar is bad, it's especially bad when injected into places it doesn't belong, and that HFCS and standard sugar aren't really that much different. HFCS is worse, but it's worse because of where… Read more

You can find studies that show just about anything. Many studies, however, draw big conclusions based on very small bits of evidence discovered in small sample sizes and/or by just inflating the results to make a controversial claim. And if the study doesn't do it, the media does and that's how these myths come… Read more

I don't really think that's a problem with #4 seeing as that point is clearly made in the conclusion of that myth. Read more

Seeing as we can't account for every different kind of genetic issue or health problem a person may have, yes, this post has to assume you're in relatively good health. If you're not, you should know (via your doctor) what adjustments need to be made for you. There's no way we can alter every myth to account for all… Read more

We've actually discussed that one before, which is why it wasn't part of this post. Read more

MSG was considered harmful a long time ago when we didn't know much about it. People still freak out about it, kind of like you're doing, and turn it into a much greater problem than it is. Other countries that regularly use MSG in food do not have the sort of concerns we do in the United States. I think this is… Read more

I am not one of the experts so I can't back up my answers with a PhD or anything like that, but from all the research I've done and what I've experience myself and with others: yes, people with less body fat have a harder time losing it. Read more

So you're saying these doctors are crazy because you read a book about carbs by another doctor that said something else? I think you're missing the point here. Nobody's suggesting anyone go out and eat a bunch of carbs, but that it's okay to eat some carbs. It's about balance and moderation. It's about choosing… Read more

Writers and porn stars probably have a lot more in common than you might think. :) I could come up with a long list... Read more
