Well, it's apparently FreeAsInBeer, because the right side of the home page says " Its Free! ".-TaoPhoenix (September 15, 2012, 09:48 AM)
Pretty cool song, with sweet video, "My Door Bell":

Dude kind of reminds me of Johnny Depp.-Renegade (September 14, 2012, 10:44 AM)
I guess since it builds on Thunderbird, you do not get more security, compatibility, or speed -- so what features do you feel are a big step up?-Jibz (September 14, 2012, 07:00 AM)
For my next phone I'm seriously considering going for the smallest, lightest device available that lets me make and receive calls, that's it.

I'm more interested in discovering new recipes.-40hz (September 13, 2012, 05:36 PM)
I've also done fermented fruit with canned fruits although I no longer have the 'seed' culture.-40hz (September 13, 2012, 05:36 PM)
FWIW Amazon allows something similar. I posted a detailed and (in places) negative review of a popular tech book, which was later taken down at the request of the author. Had the same thing happen to my somewhat critical review of the book The 30$ Film School.
I gather this sort of thing happens more often than we'd expect.-40hz (September 13, 2012, 04:49 PM)
I'm a bit gobsmacked about that - that's worthy of it's own thread imo...-tomos (September 13, 2012, 05:16 PM)
It already has a thread - the one about the meaning of User reviews. If all the bad ones get taken down...-TaoPhoenix (September 13, 2012, 05:19 PM)

Now that I'm definitely gonna try. We've already got glass topped canning jars...and some nice brandy nobody is drinking. All I'd need to get is some grapes - and I have to do some grocery shopping tonight anyway!-40hz (September 13, 2012, 04:38 PM)
probably didnt have much time for family?-tomos (September 12, 2012, 05:58 PM)
Not from looking at what was said about him. The thing is, I've seen it done. I know someone that I work with that's incredibly devoted to his family, incredibly good at his job, and is incredibly involved in EVE. A lot of it is knowing how to manage the time. And I play MMOs quite a bit, and it doesn't get in the way of my family nor my job. It's very possible.-wraith808 (September 12, 2012, 06:09 PM)
This video actually gives you REAL science to back up claims, and not just some namby-pamby soft claims and BS like you usually get. (Very refreshing!)
Sugar the bitter truth
I recommend watching that video very highly. I cannot stress enough just how insightful it is, and how good the information is. Most often you get some wishy-washy BS with no hard science and no real information. This guy is hard core and doesn't dumb things down. He has actual information and explains it intelligently. That being said, put your thinking cap on as it will challenge you unless you are well educated in biochemistry.-Renegade (October 10, 2010, 03:20 AM)
Accidentally came across a very good critique of this video here:
The bitter truth about fructose alarmism.
Summary:
it's all about context/quantity. Demonising one thing/factor is not helpful for people's understanding of things. And it appears that he (Lustig) has gotten a lot more carried away than the evidence warrants.
The critique is *not* saying sugar is good for you :p
Gets very well trashed out in the comments, including some debate with Dr. Lustig (author/presenter of the video).-tomos (May 29, 2012, 06:01 AM)
Gaming... And leading a guild/alliance? How did he manage to do his job? MMOs like that are incredibly time intensive.-Renegade (September 12, 2012, 05:54 PM)
Of course there's some things I've read that made me wish more that the authors had passed out before they had written.-40hz (September 12, 2012, 05:29 PM)
I know what you mean 
I just noticed the difference between the chef cuckoo and this card game. The chef cuckoo one has more colorful cards and attractive. You really need to compete on small things like these.-mahesh2k (September 12, 2012, 03:40 PM)
Tastes cool?-Deozaan (September 12, 2012, 03:32 PM)
