I've read that you ingest huge daily amounts of vitamins, minerals, and possibly other supplements. Would you share the specifics of what you ingest and in what quantities? Are your choices based on research or something else?

ndverdo writes "Cree just announced production power LEDs reaching 200 lumen/watt. Approximately doubling the previous peak LED light efficiency, the new LEDs will require less cooling. This should enable the MK-R series to finally provide direct no-hassle replacements to popular form-factors such as MR-16 spots and incandescent lighting in general. The LEDs are sampling and it is stated that 'production quantities are available with standard lead times.'"

This fake info was posted by a government shill. The point of the post is no different than Operation Fast & Furious--find those behind the lines.

What have they done with those 5 patients since then?
however, it remained impossible to establish any form of communication at the bedside.
Sounds like all they've done is frustrate the hell out of them, but I hope I'm wrong.

mykepredko writes "All this chatter about Felix Baumgartner and his remarkable space jump, but where's the love for this brave little Lego man. Just because he's physically incapable of suffering from ebullism, going into a flat spin, or bleeding out through his eyes doesn't make this guy's faithful recreation of the space jump any less remarkable. Two fearless pioneers — one, a person; the other, plastic — plummeting from amazing heights. In the case of the Lego Man, that means about 365 feet, according to the video's "Scale 1:350" note."

Why Do So Many Liberals "Like" Mitt Romney On Facebook? 376

pigrabbitbear writes "Mother Jones reports that, 'In recent weeks, a host of liberal types have complained that their Facebook accounts have erroneously "liked" Romney's page, and some are floating the theory that the Romney campaign has deployed a virus or used other nefarious means to inflate the candidate's online stature. This conspiratorial notion has spawned a Facebook community forum, and its own page: "Hacked By Mitt Romney" (cute url: facebook.com/MittYouDidntBuildThat)' So what's going on? Is the Romney campaign engaging in some tech wizardry to hijack Americans' Facebook pages? Seems unlikely, but Romney did somehow manage to acquire millions of fake Twitter followers. But it looks like the Romney campaign isn't behind this one — Facebook and its mobile app is."

Yeah, and how about those Microsoft Wifi routers from years ago? e.g. Microsoft MN-700. Were those rebrandings or genuine MS?

Use Jenkins for deployment. You can automate the entire process. For example, imagine automatically deploying after checking in a revision that contains the word "***DEPLOY***" in the commit comment.

Yes, you can stream just fine. Some of these services block torrenting. Some services offer free trials, too. So instead of spreading FUD, why don't you try one first?

I've had my Fire for 6 months and don't have any battery problems, including when WiFi is turned on. All day is not a problem, although I do not watch video with it. I'm guessing your battery doesn't hold a full charge anymore. Can you swap it out?

coondoggie writes "If you have been on a commercial airline, the phrase “The use of any portable electronic equipment while the aircraft is taxiing, during takeoff and climb, or during approach and landing,” is as ubiquitous but not quite as tedious as “make sure your tray tables are in the secure locked upright position.” But the electronic equipment restrictions may change. The Federal Aviation Administration today said it was forming a government-industry group to study the current portable electronic device use policies commercial aviation use to determine when these devices can be used safely during flight."
