    FFS, do not do anything but the program given to you by your physio. Do not screw around only 10 weeks after ACL surgery or the next time we see you will be in a year when you are asking for lifting advice after a second surgery.

    It depends on what you think is more important. If you are going to use it mainly with office and excel, I think you should probably get a Surface 2. If apps and games are more important then probably one of the android devices.

    I agree with this, a lot actually. I once WAY overspent on a video card. When I first got it, it was overkill for any games I was playing anyway and by 2 generations, when all that extra power was actually being used, the newest ~mid-range cards were better. I would have saved a decent hunk...

    If you are looking to get stronger and put on muscle, then the advice given to men in the same position applies to you too. I recommend picking up Starting Strength, reading the book and doing the program. There are lots of good lifting programs out there, and I am sure people in this thread...

    In Win8 it saves the SS as a png, which is useful when you are doing several in a row. For just one it is probably easier to use the clipboard like you said.

    If you've been consistently eating healthy food, then your physical (not psychological) hunger level pretty much tells you if you should eat or not. So, if you eat a lot of healthy food, and don't feel sluggish, tired, or hungry, it is probably fine. Especially if you are fat in which case...

    Can you post a video? I would guess your hips are inflexible and this is causing problems, but I can't say for certain without a video. 3/4 is best, but that and a side view would be better.

    Not to mention different people have different goals for many different reasons, and being at 10% body fat is a pretty specific goal that probably doesn't apply to many people. I got out of my wanting to be "ripped" phase when I crossed into my late 20s. I have no idea if it has something to...

    She might just not be hungry, and that's fine. I really don't get hungry often either, and I usually only eat 1 snack and 1 meal a day. Is she eating other meals? Are they a good size? Big lunch and breakfast? Play a sport? There can be lots of reasons she just isn't hungry, and unless she...

    As an addendum, all the meat I buy is from a butcher and it is all local/grass fed. That is super easy to do here in Norway because everything most butchers carry is Norwegian (local) and all Norwegian meat is grass fed. Whenever I am back in the US the price of the grass fed meat at see whole...

    I really, REALLY hesitate to give advice on how to get kids to eat healthy because I don't have any and don't know what it is like being a parent. That being said, if I didn't want what my mother made for dinner she'd say that's fine you must not be hungry and I wouldn't get anything else. I...

    I, an Italian American from "Little Jersey", gave it up and I really haven't looked back. On the occasion I do have it now I make my own, and it has become a special treat that I can appreciate more. Honestly I prefer it this way.

    Jesus man, that wasn't the point. I was just trying to give a familiar example of a plant using chemical warfare and a plant that wants at least a part of it to be eaten. Would you prefer it if I specified culinary fruits and not botanical fruits? That being said, birds aren't affected by...

    The beans thing is not entirely pseudo-science. Plants often don't want you to eat them, (fruits are an exception), and since they can't run away like a deer they in usually deploy chemical weapons to discourage this. Capsaicin, the active ingredient in chili is a good example. There are...

    If you are looking to lose weight don't drink smoothies (see the last 2 or so pages as to why). You can't go wrong with eggs for breakfast, bonus points if they are from pastured chickens.

    I misread, my apologies. I do agree with you. The reason eating healthy needs to be "sold" with gimmicks like paleo is that people are highly susceptible to marketing. It works too well, which is why agribusiness uses it so effectivelty. I think, sometimes, you need to fight fire with fire...

    You can't really, so you have to try and eat foods without a label. It sucks but it is the only way I've found so far. When the food labels were redesigned (in the 90s I think?) there was supposed to be a line item under carbohydrates for "Added Sugars" but the food industry got that nixed...

    It's because a Calorie is not just a Calorie. We've gone over this on the boards many times, back and forth, some people refuse to accept this but that is where the evidence points. At this point there is lots of information out there, so you can read and make up your own mind. Here are some...

    It depends on if we are using "sugar" colloquially or technically. Technically any saccharide is a "sugar", but colloquially sugar means sucrose. The non-harmful daily dose of sucrose (or other fructose sweeteners) is very small. The number's Khane posted look similar to what I've seen in...

    It doesn't matter. You need to build a world to fit around your game-play design and mechanics. If you build a world without the game first, then all of that work almost totally goes to waste because massive overhauls will almost always be needed to make it work right.

    When someone says an EVE style game, I generally assume they mean the hundreds of people fighting in a single zone thing, which is the challenge. If you divide people up into instances and cap those instances like you guys said it does mitigate the problem greatly, but then that being "EVE...

    I meant your name :P And I agree we are having a discussion, not an argument. I know that is rare on discussion boards, but it happens from time to time. I don't think biggest challange on an EVE style fantasy MMO is the world building, it is dealing with the network traffic.

    I mean, it depends. An MMO can be anything, Minecraft could be an MMO, Diablo 3 could have been an MMO (it almost is techincally). Both use procedural generation. They are just different.

    Seamless in general is challenging because of the technical logistics of moving things around, and the dual nature of online games. Having an MMO means you have two components, the client which would handle the graphic/asset streaming, and the server which would handle all of the game logic...

    a_skeleton_03, you are completely wrong. It is very, very possible with current technology. It isn't a fix-all solution however, as procedural games have their own set of challenges that are no more or less difficult than a non-procedural game, just different.
