With interval training you try and do as many as possible within the time period, not a specific amount or to the beat.

I have merely a passive interest in economics, but my two cents: There was an (anonymous) article a while back from someone who ran an [I believe a small] exchange, whereby he could manipulate the buy/sell prices to his advantage (driving u

It is decent advice but to be taken with a grain of salt - I've worked with developers who just dive in to the project, no plan in their head and just figuring out as they go along. What you're left with is a mess of code, hacks and workaro

The only thing that irks me here is how the cost of fuel is deducted from the cost of the lease:- If I'm paying $1200/mo for a lease, and any fuel / maintenance costs are on top of that amount. If I get an S-Class for $1200/mo, the fuel wou

Is it just me or the title is a bit sensationalist? Surely they could done it a bit better: "Facebook registration doesn't allow dates before x" - which is somewhat understandable, and yes this does indeed force her to "lie" about her age,

Used your site a few months ago and have been recommending it to everyone since! Can I make a request for "best Solutions" & possibly more exercises? Its been the best resource I've found for getting the basics down, thanks!

+1 on the custom molded in ear monitors - usually have my iPod volume on the 2nd or 3rd bar (15%?) and that drowns out pretty much everything - crying babies on flights, annoying co-workers etc. If no music is need / just silence - industri

Precisely - I still fail to understand this need to constantly add the overheads for supporting multiple mobile platforms / devices. Pinch to zoom / double tap are amazing features made precisely for this - if the text, image or control i

Actually - Hydrogen storage isn't that much of a step above the precautions already needed for LPG; which is now incredibly popular in developing countries. Shanghai, if I remember correctly, made it illegal in 2000 or 2001 to sell petrol s

I was given a 2001/2002 Honda CB500 twin (I believe it had over 80,000 miles on it - really worn piston and chamber; hence "old" to me). The carb was removed but the top had LPG injectors on the side and I was feeding it oxygen rich air (th

I agree with the statement that electric cars are not the future, but for a slightly different set of reasons. My MSc thesis / project was studying future engines and fuels - long story short: - IC engines have efficiencies of anywhere from

Off topic but how is it more beneficial to add your name to the change.org petition vs the e-petition service offered by the White House ( https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions ) / Her Majesty's Government ( http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/

A feature that may very well make me finally jump over to RoR. I've recently built quite a large site, and the only current bottle neck is when a few emails need to be sent off at the same time with attachments, and to be able to add that i

Really neat idea - I can see it working incredibly well for those of us just looking for a quick estimate when thinking about buying a car. I really hope you guys take it further, and maybe sneak in the ability to check motorcycles too? :)

A slightly off-topic question this brings up in my mind - considering the current availability of multivitamin pills, protein + carbohydrate bars / shakes, various iron/mineral supplements, is it not possible to sustain yourself using just

I quite like the new design, and I've been using it since it was in "beta" a couple of months ago. It certainly provided a couple of frustrating days before I got used to it, but I find it much more soft on the eyes - to me the old layout n

What trouble are you having with HSBC? I've just spent about an hour on the phone with them to open an account in Australia and all I'm required to do now is go to a Local Branch near me with my ID / documents - the account will be ready in

Something I always tend to ask folks: "Living the life you want to live or one society expects you to?" Fortunately I was given a severe life lesson not too long ago - certainly made me more selfish but at least it taught me to do what I en

I really don't know - it's an idea I've been thinking about. It may have the opposite affect - having a monetary barrier will force applicants to only apply to jobs they want / are qualified for vs the current state where they apply to ever

Also to add to Peroni - you can scrape recruitment sites (monster, gumtree, craigslist), get in touch with the relevant company asking if you can copy the job over to your site. Most don't mind, and some are even happy if they do get a good

I have to disagree. I've had to manage a team of around 40 people who compete nationally (not tech per se, but I believe the same applies in a work place), and it only takes one person with the behaviour you describe to completely wreck how
