Welcome to Guayaki! These guys
These guys sell yerba maté, for tea. If you currently drink tea for caffeine (instead of coffe), you should totally switch to this instead. It contains "mateine," which is much mellower, but just as powerfull as caffeine.
So you don't get jitters, but you do get the lift you need. Also, yerba maté is supposed to be really good for you, vitamin-wise. I can't be certain on that one, since every webpage seems to only quote one guy.
Anyhow, you can get the yerba maté for like $35/lb, which is way cheaper than the $5/75g that it costs in 25count bags. Basically you get one big bag of teabags, instead of 15 little ones.

Q254210 - Cannot Use Net
Q254210 - Cannot Use Net View \\Localhost Command
This article talks about a problem I was getting when I tried to connect to a one-to-one NATted box. Basically, because the IP address does not match what the server behind the NAT thinks its name is, SMB pukes. The solution was to make an entry in the HOSTS file for the address that I was connecting to, with the name that the target machine thought it was.

This site has a TCP connection "stealer" for switched networks. Basically, it answers all ARPs with its own address, and then bridges the TCP packets back to the intended destination, so as to keep the connection alive. Pretty sweet. Good for use with Ethereal.

This is a superb tool for viewing the space used by directories and files on your Win32 system. It presents a "cushioned treemap" where the relative size of files and directories can be determined by their relative size of their representative rectangle.
It helped me clear about a gig of crap off my machine at work. :)

The Gregorian Calendar - History
The Gregorian Calendar - History
I was reading this about how the Calendars of Britain and continental Europe used to differ by 11 days numerically....I thought to myself, "That's crazy, how could they have possibly have dealt with having different calendars?"
Then I realized that we aren't currently all using the same time, even though standards exist (such as UTC). *sigh* Maybe in 100 years...
I guess I kind of think that these have something to do with the speed of communication involved.

BMR/BMI Calculator This has a
This has a javascript calculator for your Basal Metabolic Rate. I'm not sure how accurate it is, since it says that I need a base of 2049 (which does not include the calories used by sitting.
- If you assume I sit for 12 hours a day, my caloric needs are up to 3057.
- If you assume I also lift for an hour, that requires another 720 calories, for a total of 3777.
If lifting burns 228 more calories per hour than running, I do not understand why women who want to lose weight do cardio and don't lift. It's just crazy. Granted, you need to do some cardio to keep your metabolism up, but it still seems like you would want to lift. Especially with the toning and whatnot.
