Unfortunately, I have to agree that it's not very effective. Even using it on Wikipedia articles, on which it has likely been trained, doesn't yield impressive results. It would be more interesting if it worked well.

I'm interested to see what it looks like from outside if it's supposed to be one-way.

> if you have children, do not raise them with a vegetarian or even vegan diet. That should be classified and punishable as child abuse.

That's ridiculous. Would you not agree that vegetarian people are likely to be more conscious of their nutritian than the average person?

Here's an anecdote. I know three children brought up in vegetarian* family. All three were high achievers academically and athletically. It's worth noting that their mother was very conscious of nutrition, and did give them supplements.

*Pescatarian, actually. Though many pescatarians call themselves vegetarian, including this family.

An extention to this is to use email alerts. It's too easy to dismiss an alert and forget about it.

For example, I might but an email reminder 4 weeks in advance, 1 in advance, and 3 days before for an important deadline.

I'm surprised at how simple you've made it, excellent work.
My system triple boots into OS X, Windows and Ubuntu. I have a home partition, formatted in HFS+.

What would be the best strategy for me to use? Should I just encrypt the home volume using something cross-platform like TrueCrypt, or is it practical (an maintainable) to do full-disk encryption in such an environment?

My home partition has very sensitive data and I've been putting off creating a TrueCrypt container for this data.

Very good first version. Quick and easy to get into gameplay. About the right level of difficulty. Thanks :)

I found people had posted audio interpretations of binary files on YouTube.

What does "3 POC" mean? I'm interested in learning about methods that don't require a 3rd party.

Very good tips. I have to say that bookmarking things saves me hours. I bookmark maybe five things a week and retrieve about 2-4 bookmarks a week. I only bookmark things that would be difficult to search for so it certainly saves me time.
