Trying to lose weight...

Sam334: I lost a LOT of weight and most of the skin has tightened up. There are still stretch marks on my stomach, under my arms, and on my inner thighs that are noticeable up close but not from a few feet away. The elasticity of the skin depends a lot on age. I started at age 27 and am now...

Trying to lose weight...

I lost over 100 lbs and I'm 5' 10" (was 275, now 165) the safe and healthy way. I lost the first 25lbs over a 4 month period just by not eating out as much (no exercise). I lost the rest with cardio and weights over 9 months. I dropped down to 1600-1800 calories/day (but with your size, you...

Reliability vs Cost of SATA and SCSI RAID servers

We currently have a Dell PowerEdge 600SC and are in the process of upgrading our storage solutions. My current server has 33 and 66 Mhz PCI slots but no PCI-X slot. Most of the high quality RAID cards seem to require PCI-X (understandably for the performance). The server is used in a small...
