Do you not find that misleading to the other users on the site? People come along expecting links chosen by the wisdom of the crowds and end up just getting things two guys find interesting?

I've found myself slowly slipping away from iTunes to manage my library and I'm not seeing anything that's really going to hold me for much longer.

It's a shame as I remember being excited when I started using iTunes way-back-when.

While I'm not Microsoft sympathizer; A side note, using "M$" really doesn't your argument. It looks childish

Given s_henry_paulson's sadness enough to comment, I'd say it's likely he has donated. Funnily enough I don't see why it's necessary for you to be outright rude to him.

Edit: I'm glad you've dropped the threat nonsense.

Unnecessarily rude. I suggest you think twice before posting again, Daniel.

I think the people looking to buy drugs and guns would disagree.

I'm failing to see how you've made that jump? How does recognizing words, translating them and displaying the result compare to mapping a naked body from only uncovered skin? at best, you could get the correct skin tone on a model.

You are right that you have to adjust for metabolic rate; and while the content of your diet will have an effect on that rate (meaning getting an entirely accurate assessment of your expenditure is near impossible) the kcal value maintains;

I suppose it's my mentality that you adjust your eating habits based on your diet contents and its effect on metabolism, to match the kcal values, rather than viewing the kcal as an inconstant value.

Thank you, by the way. I enjoyed the opportunity to think though this

While an interesting read, it feels like I just read some long winded analogy describing metabolism?

In the parent comment, I'm including bodily factors like metabolic reactions within "expend". The degree to which this makes a difference in overall expenditure is the un-quantifiable part; but adjusting your diet further to counter this lack of expenditure will still have the same effect. It still is a numbers game in my mind.

It should be noted that a kcal /is/ still a kcal; The adaption your body takes after being given different levels of macronutrients doesn't change that if you eat more than you expend, you will put on weight.

Also, I'm surprised that they didn't trial a 60% protein, 20% fat and 20% carb diet!

With respect, you're over simplifying it. Achieving and maintaining good proportions (the usual goal of those starting out) is going to take more than Olympic lifts + pullups. Similarly 3x8 on one muscle group once a week isn't a catch all; it's my opinion that a work out should tailor to your ability and goals.

That's before we even get into diet. Planning exercise without diet (or vice versa) is a recipe for no progress.

>For what it's worth, if there were an app that helped me know WTF to do when it comes to building muscle tone/size

I'm working on an app to tackle this problem right now; I've just started development though.

If you get the time I'd love to hear what features you'd like to see in an app like this. You can respond here or my email is in my profile :-)

It might just be me, but I don't usually trust cultofmac.com with reporting my unbias Google news.

What's stopping you doing that now in your free time?

Even considering the 6-degrees of separation,

>but more often than not it’s a friend of a friend whom you’ve never met before

Wouldn't this require a significant number signups to offer this on a daily basis? Without this (great) feature the uncomfortable nature of online dating, which already plagues other online dating sites, will really take it's toll. I can see an awful lot of no shows and disappointment.

not to answer for roger, but in my eyes: You're right. Being immoral isn't black and white, in this case it's a line drawn in relation to your relationship to the friend you're considering stealing from. Now it's clear he obviously holds some value in the friendship since he's willing to fully disclose his ideas to you, ideas which he likely plans to do work on. By stealing his ideas you're not only robbing him of something he cares about and a potential income/customer base etc, but you're also betraying that friendship.

Your example of waiting 3 years is a valid one, the reason why the morality changes is because after 3 years he likely will care less about the idea (I mean he didn't do anything with it for 3 years, right?) because it's become apparent he doesn't care much about it, the robbing and betrayal have less of an impact, to the point where it's so much less of a deal that it's just overwritten by you friendship

I was under the impression there was? Regarding quality and quantity of protein, impact on hormone levels and allergy risk. I'm pretty sure I even read something on dementia linked to tofu, but I couldn't be sure.

Perhaps you could be the one doing the enlightening?

What a horribly pessimistic view. It's clear that they were working hard to help, what's your reasoning for thinking like that?

I'd argue that a user looking to configure the settings of their search, are likely to think about looking in the search settings.

Just a quick reminder for some, a diet as a means to an end very well may have a strange set of meals in order to meet the criteria for weight loss/mass gain. As nice as it'd be to eat 2000kcals and have a steak and potatoes for dinner everyday, you may instead have to eat that cup of avocado and a glass of milk for its nutritional value:kcal
