		<title>Comment on Creatine FAQ by when to take creatine</title>
		<link>http://thinkblog.org/2006/11/14/creatine-faq/#comment-179904</link>

					<description>There are many trains of thought on creatine; what it does, and what it doesn't do - and what it may do are the subject of much debate.

One of the most common methods for taking creatine is using a 'loading' and 'maintenance' phase, and, I recently wrote an article to advise people on what tends to be the most effective way of using creatine this way.</description>

		<title>Comment on HowTo: Thunderbird RSS &#038; Digg 3.0 by Michael</title>

					<description>Hey there, just wondering:

What Thunderbird displays depends entirely on the feed data available.  In some feeds, you have nothing but a title and a link to the website (in this case, Digg); in others, it is possible that you'd see the entire Digg page.  (Last I checked, this was the behavioral difference between Digg's RSS 2.0 feed and its Atom feed.)  On the other hand, all feeds that link to, say, Perry Bible Fellowship, the online comic, have ONLY a title and nothing more; this is to drive traffic to the webserver interactively.

That said, at this point, if you need integration with Microsoft products and Exchange servers and so forth, you would do well to consider Evolution .  Frankly, I've been using 64-bit Linux on my personal machines and 32-bit WinXP Pro at work, so I use GMail and Google Reader to keep track of this sort of thing these days for the sake of cross-platform compatibility.

Also, thank you for your troubleshooting help with the layout--I'm revamping the site to use a Drupal backend instead of this old clunky WordPress interface.  I still reply to comments, though, so feel free; and I'm the only person who sees your email address when you enter it, so I'll of course be glad to correspond with you off-ThinkBlog.

Be well and thanks again.</description>

					<description>Well, it's been a couple years, but maybe you'll still read this...

If I had a digg account -- which I don't and do not want -- assuming everything else was set up properly according to your above instructions, would clicking on a message in tbird open the ultimate destination site, or just open the digg page with all the useless comments and advertsing, wherein I would have to then click the link to open the destination URL?

I am just curious, as, if the behavior was the former, that would upgrade my chance of ever making a digg account to &quot;snowball's chance in hell&quot;, from the current &quot;zero, and I mean ZERO!&quot;  (If the behavior was the latter, I think that would somehow actually reduce the probability to below zero!!!)

BTW this text box I am typing in right now has bad behavior under IE6.  Keeps expanding beyond the right extent of my screen.  (If I open/close the 'favorites' pane, it resizes to the proper size when the document pane is redrawn, but as soon as I type a character, it expands again.  Also, if u are trying to recreate, I am running 1600x1200 desktop resolution, and I had the favorites pane open when I first came to the site.)

(Yes, I know IE6 is the bastard stepmother of all browsers, but I need a MS browser for work and IE7 sucks 10x worse.)</description>

					<description>I feel the same pang of loss, but I wonder if it's not ill-placed.  If we know as we are fully known, then perhaps we will have that kind of bond with everyone.  Being close to everyone in that sense while still in a fallen state fairly reeks of falsity, codependence, and orgiastic ritual; but once There, I think it's reasonable to expect that we will know others and ourselves on a level that is much deeper than we can ever achieve here.

On the other hand, perhaps all that pang of loss is the result of a misdirected love in the first place, since Christ is to be the Alpha and Omega; but I find myself despairing at this kind of thought (this is a difficult word; who can bear it?).

Thanks for your input!  I hope you'll keep coming back once the site is revamped.</description>

		<title>Comment on Zero Factorial equals One by Alan Bruzzi</title>
		<link>http://thinkblog.org/2006/10/24/zero-factorial-equals-one/#comment-157000</link>

					<description>I do not think that God had anything to do with zero factorial being
equal to one.  I managed to write a 7-line, QBASIC program that
automatically computes 0! to 1.  I wrote this program back in 1999,
and, while it doesn't have multiple-precision (double-precision instead),
it can compute 100 factorial, or even larger factorials, instantly,
using scientific notation.  Here it is: don't ask how it works, because
I forgot how, but also please excuse the line numbers.

10 CLS:  PRINT &quot;FACTORIAL CALCULATOR&quot;: PRINT
20 INPUT &quot;ENTER NUMBER: &quot;; N#
30 U# = 2
40 FOR T# = U# TO N#
50 U# = U# * T#
60 NEXT T#
70 PRINT &quot;THE ANSWER IS: &quot;; U# / 2</description>

					<description>[...] Now, Walter, being the good ENFP that he is, is a charmer through and through. He&amp;#8217;s socially intelligent, and he knows how to sell you on yourself: he&amp;#8217;ll put ideas in your head and make you think you thought of them. That&amp;#8217;s okay, because he uses his powers for good (and I like to think I do, too!;)). But this didn&amp;#8217;t feel like one of those times. Though we disagreed, there was a respect here between Walter and myself; there was a genuineness that begged for the other person to speak their mind. This, in turn, cultivated the reciprocal, which is that when the other wanted to speak, we really, truly wanted to listen. [Incidentally, this was the note that I promised to expound on in my post &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m Wardriving.&amp;#8221;] [...]</description>

					<description>Very thought-provoking pieces on romance vs friendship and Platonic love.  I am wondering about &quot;specific&quot; love, the love (whether for a lover or a friend) that is attached to a specific person, delights in that person, and desires to be specially loved by that person.  Would you call that eros?  I do sometimes think of it as &quot;romantic&quot;, even in cases where it is not sexual.  

When I think of eventually being &quot;like the angels&quot;, loving all the other Divinely-created souls, I feel a pang of loss for this &quot;special&quot; love, this feeling that I am essential to someone else, that that person wants ME, in particular, to love them and be there for them.

Clearly, there is something wrong with my conception, one way or the other.  I just feel that there is something valuable in this kind of attachment.

Any thoughts?</description>
