"From what I understand, the body does consume fat during a fast, however I have not heard about the cell killing abilities you mention. But it should seem pretty obvious that the body would go after it's fat stores when you are not eating. Water, juice, clear broth type fasts all do this fat burning exercise. The primary benefit I have heard is that the body starts to consume stored fats. Which helps detox, since a lot of bad stuff is fat soluable and stays with you for a while. For example artifical sweeteners which break down your DNA and eventually MIGHT cause cancer cells. With the chances being different for each individual based on overall health and other contributing factors also trying to create cancer cells. Such as smoking, or toxins in general, some of which we get in our food and water." - Chris Clark

zestor on One of my professors described evolution as “only a theory”, “not proven”, and “something you can choose to accept or not”. He has not given us this warning for any other scientific theory. I want to send him an email, what should I say? - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"You don't know what you are talking about. THE scientist who led the team that cracked the human genome is to publish a book explaining why he now believes in the existence of God and is convinced that miracles are real. Francis Collins, the director of the US National Human Genome Research Institute, claims there is a rational basis for a creator and that scientific discoveries bring man “closer to God”." - Chris Clark

"Evolution is nonsense. If life were abundant there would be contact with another life form. Even if space travel is hard, we would have expected to detect the life form via transmissions. The Fermi paradox is the apparent contradiction between high estimates of the probability of the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations and the lack of evidence for, or contact with, such civilizations." - Chris Clark

zestor on Anyone have any idea what's wrong with me? The hospital doesn't. - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"Sounds like stress and anxiety. I suggest you exercise. Nothing makes you worry less about your heart than exercising and getting your heart rate into 60-80% of maximum. Max is 220 - your age. So for you that's 200 beats per min. So I think 120-190 beats per minute. Completely abandon soda and weed. Start eating lots of fruits and vegetables 5-6 servings (a serving is 1/2 cup) per day. Also start taking some nutritional supplements. One a day vitamin, COQ10, Vitamin C, Omega-3 Fish Oil" - Chris Clark

zestor on Is being slutty bad? - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"If you are comfortable with yourself, then no. If you don't like who you are then yes. There is nothing wrong with dressing slutty or loving sex. If you get right down to it, most people love sex. Reminds me of the old addage. Girls play sex to get love. Boys play love to get sex." - Chris Clark

zestor on Açaí Berry. Myth or Miracle? - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"I don't see any downside of taking it. Acai berries are a good source of antioxidants. "No side effects or interactions have been reported. At the time of writing, there were no well-known drug interactions with acai." http://health.med.umich.edu/healthc... Studies show that the Acai is absorbed by the human body. "In the first research involving people, the acai (ah-sigh-EE) berry has proven its ability to be absorbed in the human body when consumed both as juice and pulp. That finding, by a team of Texas AgriLife Research scientists, was published in a recent issue of the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry." http://www.sciencedaily.com/release... "Some studies have demonstrated the potential effects of acai in inflammatory diseases, such as autoimmune disorders and allergies." http://www.mskcc.org/mskcc...

zestor on I am 18 years old, I want to be a programmer, and I can't go to college. What do I do? - http://reddit.com/r...
"I have been doing computer programming for a job for 15 years. I have been everything from junior programmer to Chief Technology Officer. Here is my advice to you. Even, if you are the best programmer, you are going to have a hard time finding jobs. People want to hire people with some experience. Use the services like guru.com and elance.com to pimp yourself out. PHP/MySql, Wordpress, iPhone development are popular skills. Don't start bidding right away. I recommend you take some of the smaller project descriptions and try to develop the solutions on your own, WITHOUT bidding on the projects. This will get you to challenge yourself and build a library of code you can use for future projects. Once you have developed a few programs and feel comfortable estimating what it will take to complete a project, then start bidding. Get some track record delivering projects using these services." - Chris Clark

zestor on Bad year for Billionaires. Do you give a shit? Are there any billionaires reading Reddit? - http://reddit.com/r...
"As in dollars? Or Oddles of Noodles? Or gold in World of Warcraft? If you are really a billionaire in dollars, you might want to sell that shit for euros. Oh yeah, I'm a billionaire too, I write this as twenty somethings bring me fruity drinks on my tropical island while I sit here with my feet in the sand. If I spelled something wrong, I'll have to fire that asshole sitting next to me who it typing this, because I am too rich to type." - Chris Clark

What is most under-reported tech story of 2008? Microsoft building Facebook competitor is one. Others, discuss:
I think this went under-reported because no one wants to use Microsoft SaaS's anymore. - Workstir
Does anyone have a link to a story about the FB competitor? - Miles
How about Intuit building a PaaS offering? With millions of Users, tons of Data, and anchor tenants (QuickBooks, TurboTax, Quicken) we will be a significant player :-) (totally guilty of full-on bias as I work for Intuit Partner Platform) - Alex Chriss
Miles: it is under-reported. I am working on one. - Robert Scoble
Maybe not enough people knowing about, or utilizing Friendfeed. Statistics for "Friendfeed" (November 2008). 566.641 visitors. Down -12.6 in growth. But, 1 year growth was 4056.7%. (Ref: www.compete.com). I see the value in Friendfeed, but this is an intellectual gathering, in a very fast paced "chunk news" world. Maybe a broader selling point of Friendfeed could be for leaders and... more... - Scott M Iseman
Alex: yes, that applies! - Robert Scoble
@Robert: You talking TownSquare? http://www.infoworld.com/article... - AJ Kohn
I wonder if that will be as successful as Yahoo's Facebook competitor? - Paul Buchheit
AN: no, I am talking about live.com and how microsoft has added nearly every feature of facebook to its 240 million msn messenger users. - Robert Scoble
Based on Intuit's past offerings and customer abuses, I am not even watching for this -- Just my biased as a screwed user who threw their finger and walked away from the abuse. - Robert Miller
@Robert: First time on Friendfeed - you finally converted me - thank you! - and if you ever want a look at what we're doing at Intuit, ping me. I run the Partner Platform - Alex Chriss
@Robert: Interesting. I'll look for your write up. Could it be that they're simply designing for a future collaboration instead of a competition? - AJ Kohn
@Alex: Welcome to FriendFeed. - Robert Miller
Microsoft had a social networking platform they just closed called Wallop: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13... - Doug Lawrence
AJ: no. Microsoft is going after Facebook. - Robert Scoble
Google Native Client (NaCl). When they came out with Chrome, people were like "OMGWTFBBQ it's an operating system that will destroy Windows!!!111" when in fact it was just a browser. But when Google released a cross-platform runtime that has the potential to render the operating system *irrelevant*, it was greeted with a tremendous yawn by comparison. Very few people seem to understand the ramifications. - Karim
@Robert: You sound ... certain. You have sources? Feel free to DM if you like. I'm interested because I think the only way Facebook gets out of things alive is by becoming a portal and leveraging search revenue via Live Search. - AJ Kohn
Subsea Internet Cable Cuts and Installation of Submarine Monitoring Stations. - Chris Clark
AJ: yes, have sources, but they will work with Facebook too. Embrace and extend.:-) - Robert Scoble
Blackberry Bold? Android? Any smartphone that wasn't an iPhone? - Steven Cains
رونوشت به داریوش ملکوت و مخمل - Mil∂d
@Robert: Fascinating. Get blogging man! ;) - AJ Kohn
Hmm, why do you say the Microsoft story was underreported? We covered the launch at VentureBeat, as did most of the other tech news sites. It kind of disappeared after that, but I'm not sure it deserved much more coverage than it got. - Anthony Ha
Anthony: I must have missed the techmeme hype of that story. :-( I wonder how you would define underreported? - Robert Scoble
Ha, well, here's what you missed: http://www.techmeme.com/081113... I agree that there wasn't much follow-up, so if I thought this was a big story I'd agree that it was underreported. But nothing I saw made me think this was a huge deal. - Anthony Ha
I read it too..not noteworthy in the tech sense - bcultral
It's interesting that the headlines always read "Microsoft goes after market X" or "Microsoft goes after competitor Y" instead of "Microsoft ships cool new product". It leaves me with the impression that the 'softies don't really care that much about what they're selling - they're not trying to ship something insanely great (to borrow a phrase from Apple), they just see other companies making money selling gadget X or application Y, and don't want to be left out. - Pat Rice
@Pat I often find that companies, when they get large, stop innovating and start reacting to their competitors and other innovators instead. And I'm far from being the only person who has noticed this, too. Even Google isn't immune to it, although they're doing a better job than most resisting the trend. - Chris, Taskerrific Guy
That analytics are so terribly flawed and how so many companies, people, etc. are completely clueless about it. Uniques mean zero without session times and repeat visitors - yet the actual internet industry/media has not even come close to reporting that way yet. - Patricia
Lot's of acquisition activity by middleware vendors around complex event processing yet not much coverage in the tech press. I hope that changes in 09. - Jim Posner
Interesting, never knew that Mark Hurd turned HP around, didn't seem to gain any news. - Alvin
It would have been more widely reported if it was seen as significant. The fact that it wasn't is a story in itself and I'm glad to see you covering it. - Greg Rollins
"...the most under-reported tech story of 2008..." is the same as in every year since 2001 ; That the 9/11 planes shown on U.S. TV had been faked.

"Make sure it's american, maybe you will find out that your car is worth less than what you paid. The government then might reduce your loan amount and give you easy payment terms with no interest for 5 years. Sorry, that only works for mortgages and credit cards." - Chris Clark
