Not long ago I had to take a friend's ferrari 599 to get the ecu reset and adjusted for the tune of $16k. I had changed the both MAF sensors and adjusted the clutch on the transmission. Fucking nuts.

I was looking for something like this. The perl code is quite easy to follow. Nice project! I will try and install it on webfaction and provide feedback for you to add to your docs. :)

Have you used the app yourself? Could you maybe talk more about what you did not like about it?

My brother in law works for P&G in their tampon department as a researcher. He is a chemical engineer. He tells me most advances come from small startups outside the US and and they are usually quietly acquired. There seems to be a lot of red tape to get through before you can even do something small in that industry. It's not like you can throw some code and have a tampon 2.0 in a weekend. Tampons are a really complex thing. He explained to me how different types of fabrics and the way they are used can be potentially fatal ti some women. Thats why the research for the common tampon is ongoing.

Absolutely! I can only be as good as the best I can be. I suck at some things, average at many, and unfairly good at handful. I love it because it never gets boring. :)

Now apply that to software and interviewing. Its mind blowing to think of an interview being like that cross-country 10K and your group of friends being in it and being judged against the guy who came in first without trying. Life sure is funny.

That's whole different adventure altogether! Our diet depends on a lot of variables. How we feel, our daily stress, relationships on/off work and whole lot more things. My experience has taken me from that very first step of not drinking anymore pop soda to almost vegetarian (I eat meat once a week in small quantities and sometimes cheese). I did the atkins, paleo, juice, fruit, and everything in between. Slowly learning what works for me. Which meant finding and way that vegetables and grains would be enjoyable to eat. Food, or its taste, makes my day. So learning how to cook and buy nutritious food that tasted good has been a process.

Best advice I can give is to see your diet as a learning experience with the end goal of living a better life. Little daily goals amount to amazing yearly achievements!

Does DDG allow building things on top of it? Like API access to search queries, for example. I'm very much into building things for fun and DDG is my choice engine (on mobile and desktop).

Until somebody manages to set up a long term camp on the Moon. It's the nature of humanity.

How good human life is for those who won the birth lottery. Everyone else gets to enjoy the mountain of crap.
