Newbie programmer here. How hard would it be to add RSS to this? It could be an interesting project to help me learn Python.

1. Avoid friends. 2. Never leave school. 3. Shoot people.

Got it.

Except that people in the State Department are actually pretty pleased with how they appear in the cables.

Seriously, I have been wondering for months now why websites no longer display their RSS feeds in the address bar.

I thought that was the post itself... very meta.

While I see the value of that advice (longer flow periods), for academic or technical writing it is often impossible. It might work for fiction or punditry, but detailed analysis requires frequently looking to citations and notes.
Are they shutting down the DRM server as well?

This is a horrible strategy.

Full-tilting might be brave, but better players are always willing to fold.

Re:Counting Calories? Your Weight-Loss Plan May Be Outdated on Wednesday July 20, 2011 @07:31PM (#2787859)
Really? Because I lost 40lbs in four months last fall by meticulously counting my calories.

* You're strategy is vague and difficult to determine compliance. How much is a "decent amount"?

* My method is quantitative. Everything I ate had a number, and that number totaled less than 15 by the end of the day.

The problem I have with your method is the idea that I need to have a huge knowledge-base to make it work. How many people do you think know if their butter is "grass-fed"? If I go to Applebees, the calorie number is listed right on the menu, yet I would never be able to find out if their butter is grass-fed.

I put off trying to lose weight for years because I thought I needed to read 10 books to figure out how. Turns out all I needed was a calculator.
