    I assume "Corrections Officer" means working in a detention center? Use the Arnold impression for bonus points. What I would recommend to prepare for the pushups: Get a five pound weight and with one hand lift the wieght from your side to straight out in front of you palm to the inside(arm...

    At the time I would have been playing a couple of hours of soccer every weekday and maybe every other weekend. I did have a visible 8-pack. On-set in fact. I still have a six-pack now except that it's obscured by the wobbly jiggly stuff. I can tell the lower abs need some work 'cause my back...

    It was the 1994 Chickamauga Battlefield Marathon. Course Map. I finished in a time of 4 hours and 50 minutes. Running this race at that time is not the smartest thing I've ever done. I only started it because a friend said he wanted to run it and didn't think he could finish it unless somebody...

    They say an exercise routine takes one month to become habit. They also say that the metabolism begins to slow at 30. If you indeed can not metabolicly lose weight then I might recomend gatric bypass surgery. I would not recommend it for anything other than saving a life. Merc, you need to...

    When I was in high school the sports trainers used to get mad at me because while I eat well and in good volume, my body fat percentage hovered around 3%. They said they didn't let the wrestlers get that low.

    What's a little more sad is that my current boss used to think you are certified just because you went to class.

    Amen. Direct eye contact goes a long way. And a little mystery. Coug, I would like to start running races again next summer. I ran a marathon in '95(?) but I've been on my my special diet since then.

    I gained about 30 lbs on my special diet of one box of Little Debbie Cinnamon Rolls a day for three years. I tried to have it accredited but no one would go for it. The food establishment is a close knit bunch. Coug, do you have expertise appropriate for endurance athletes?

    Fuel economy hits 22-year low

    I suspect most of the population does not take the chance to enjoy non-air-conditioned air like you do. Maybe you could develop something that makes the air quality inside the buildings equivalent to the air quality outside. Considering the smoking ban it would seem that there is some care in NYC.

    An open letter to Hewlett-Packard

    When we toss out a P-series printer we replace it with a 2100 or 2200. If we want to consolidate in the area we'll put in a 5000. Not enough time yet for data on longevity.

    I think you better try for the Logitech's Andy. Based on the research I did last year the prices jump from ~$70-100 to $300+ for the sound system. Essentaily because in order to use speakers that sound better than the Logitech's you will need to use an external amplifier. And a decent external...

    That's the receiver I have. I run all sounds digitally to it and then to a set of 5 Onkyo satelites. I had to also buy a sub. Andy, look into the USB speaker systems. Merc, recomended a look at them before and I'd look at them if I wasn't already invested.

    I remind you that the better the heatsink the slower/quieter you can run the fan and get the same temps.

    I have a few ppga heat sinks & fans that I would like to sell. I would bet that they are all higher quality than OEM. One of them has a copper base. I have the specs for the fans too. Let me know if you are interested and I'll dig up a price.

    OK. Megabits per second? So you watch movies faster? :P I guess that refers to the number of bits in one second of video? Does that then translate into the number of bits in one frame?

    e_dawg, I can't claim to be knowledgable about economics. If there is anything I'm woefully ignorant about it is money and it's forces. But... It is my understanding that markets work on supply and demand. If a company is able to supply something at a cheaper price due to cheaper labor or say...

    Full spectrum solar cell?

    Yes, I've considered building my house that way. Into the side of a hill is what I had in mind. But as it is a way off, I've not thoroughly considered the drainage problem, as T hints at, or the method of piping sunlight to the underground area. Unnatual lighting just doesn't cut it for long.
