I've heard it said several times that there is a Plateau effect for gaining muscle mass. Is there a similar plateau effect for losing weight?

Would you say that neurons and synapses are digital? analog? both? My understanding is that it's kind of both. That a neuron has to receive or "build up" a certain number of neurotransmitters in order to fire. The receiving of neurotransmitters being an analog threshold before firing and that firing can be seen as a…

ICS was created to break the divide between tablet only OS and phone only OS. 4.2 would be a horrible step backward if it was tablet only. I don't believe that.

I stole the idea from a friend, but I started naming mine after the pac man ghosts. I don't have enough to use all the names, but my server is Blinky, my "used to be a laptop, but now use as a second server" laptop is Pinky, and my day to day use laptop is Clyde. I should name my phone Inky... hmmm...

I linked to a blog post of mine where I talked about all my college hacks including being able to scrap SSNs from the school's websites. Full article here: http://coreyogburn.com/post/Idle-Hands.aspx

I'm having trouble finding an android to-do app I really like. I'm looking for an app that will keep tasks in order and allow for subtasks. I tried using astrid but when I reformatted my phone and it synced, all the subtasks were seen as regular tasks and sorted alphabetically.

All sorts of good hacks were submitted, and you chose a simple shutdown script as the winner? I may be a little biased because I entered and didn't win, but I think most of your honorable mentions are better than the winner.

I posted a list of all the hacks I pulled on my school on my site. I know it's a large wall of text and some of it is specific to the university's site, but still, there's some bad stuff in there.

Maybe not near the top, but somewhere in the next 23 miles it would.

Accidentally posted twice, but I can't find a way to delete this comment. That's a little messed up.

I vote he wears a squirrel suit when he jumps.

I vote he wears one of those squirrel suits.

Is it just me, or was it supposed to be Dec 21st 2012, not the 12th? Not that it really matters. IF the world were going to end (and I'm not one to say it will), 9 days would hardly make a difference.

If cars didn't destroy themselves in the process, they probably would be.

I plan to buy a gun because other assholes have guns. Just because I don't think they should have a gun doesn't mean I won't have my own. That being said, even if there was absolutely no gun violence (hypothetically) I would still buy a gun because I really enjoy target practice.

I was 12 and a commercial on tv mentioned a website. It was some website that wanted to sell their product, but I thought "somebody had to make that website" so I typed in to Yahoo! (ha) 'how to make a website' and I found a horrible, gaudy, yellow website that started teaching me about HTML tags. At the bottom of…

Rationally is how I'm approaching it. I don't need their piece of paper to get a job. I have a great job and have no need to go back to college other than my personal desire to research and learn. I have done what I can by myself and with a few friends, but the connections made in a Master's or PhD program would…

I'm not worried about a job. I have a great job, but I want to learn. I want to research and expand on human knowledge with peers in my field. The easiest way to achieve that seems to be going through Masters or PhD courses, and getting the degrees wouldn't be so bad.

In my 5 years at OC doing undergraduate courses, the only class I learned anything of note, anything that actually stuck with me, was in Psychology and was the beginning to the Emotional Intelligence research. My community college, Francis Tuttle, was a "learn at your own pace" kind of establishment and I sped through…
