I really like the idea of personalized diets and an online program. If I could ensure a program would give me realistic goals and recipes catered to my body I could be interested. You have to convince me though, and your site isn't doing it. I filled out your questionnaire but then it asked for a Paypal. I still have no idea what you're asking me to pay for. Is it a pdf? I can buy books and pdfs everywhere, something more interactive is what caught my eye. Can I see some suggested recipes from my program? Do I have access to a community? Also, I had to search a little bit to find out where I was supposed to go. There needs to be a clear flow, a quick explanation of the product, and a big link that says "BUY" or something similarly simple.

Next time, if this is legit, post a Show HN or something more rather than just a link. Don't do it anytime soon though, 2 is enough for one day. Tell us the story behind your project and ask for feedback. Maybe talk about conversions, what programs bring the most money in, etc.

OK, idea dump over. Good night!

For me it's about forcing some boredom into your life. With the Internet and TV I feel hyper stimulated all the time. To find entertainment I merely collapse into my chair, click a few buttons, and begin passively consuming.

Without something neurotically occupying my attention (ie internet) I quickly become bored. When bored I then proceed to think through everything I could possibly do, prioritize the ideas, and choose one to act upon. Even if I end up watching a television show the important thing is that I chose to watch that specific show rather than passively accepting whatever was being played at the time. I have not had TV in a long time, so that's not a problem, but whenever I've momentarily had no internet I find I eat better, exercise more, have a cleaner house, and knock more things off of my to do lists.

It's not that I want to go without internet, it's just that I do not want the internet at home. I've been without it before and really enjoyed the experience, now I just have to make the leap of canceling internet completely.

To be fair she did post something that would get her fired if posted in a truly public setting. If the parent of a student was able to see this picture then it's hard to consider her Facebook profile private. If they had a screen shot of this photo on Facebook I doubt they would require her password to suspend her.

That being said I still think it is horrid that anyone would even think of asking for a Facebook password, and the "guilty until proven innocent" thing doesn't fly with me.

1. On the internet large amounts of traffic means that you will have trolls galore. In my eyes some of those comments are normal internet fodder and just need to be moderated out.

2. You are using IP that you do not own. Memes are not public domain. Of course that is going to get people angry, particularly when there is money involved.
