Well, yes, but that weakening should be done by progressive overload of weights and not by, say, running for an hour and *then* doing a leg workout: they will be tired and weakened, sure, but the end result will be that you will have to *decrease* the weights (compared with a normal session). I'm assuming the goal is to gain muscle mass.

It's a bit like - but of an different nature of course - not eating or not sleeping... the muscle will be weakened but you will only lose by not being able to do a proper workout.

I agree of course with the warming-up part and the importance of avoiding injury. I usually use 5-10 minutes in the rowing machine to get thing started.

This is not a different binary, simply a flag.

One thing that I use alot is Elscreen (http://www.morishima.net/~naoto/software/elscreen/index.php.en), which basically extends the regular window/buffer functions and adds different "tabs", just like GNU screen does for the shell.

This allows me to have my editing session in one tab, my IRC session on another and my GNUS state in yet another, each screen with his own frame arrangement.

The Emacs Wiki site is probably the best site to find out similar packages and useful tricks (http://www.emacswiki.org/). The sheer breadth of what Emacs provides makes the "vi" comments redundant.
