I smell troll.
Guess we are handling him like a pig: Fatten him and then slaughter him to get precious bacon.

You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colon."

We love to solve problems. None of us is doing it as a way to get money - We all have a day job and we don't appreciate slimy answers to our answers, especially if they were correct.
I tend to say that my answer was correct.

What is the procedure of becoming microsoft student partner?

I answered you by providing a link where you can sign up to be a M$ student partner.

A normal answer is "Thank you" or "That is not what I was looking for", but not a trollish

And you think <layer>u did something really cool! :P

Why? Because I did answer your question. Of course that is cool since it is the proof that I am actually able to answer easy questions myself (An ability which most of today's students lack of - I can say that since I am young myself) which seems pretty cool to me Cool | :cool:

You shouldn't give long explanations to prove how cool you are. Smile | :)

Best of luck for your day job.

And you shouldn't proof that you aren't able to look up answers to simple questions on the Internet.
Don't tell me that you would've been able to since that, on the other hand, would proof that you are lazy as elephant.

I will take care of the compliment.

Cravings

I did a decent run on the treadmill last evening, which was for about 45 minutes or so and I was drenched in sweat at the end. I had more energy left in me, but I had to go home as the gym was closing down early for Gandhi Jayanti (a public holiday here).

Today, I've this uncontrollable cravings to eat not-so-healthy things. Eaten a samich, which I think is OK. But about 25 cashew nuts have been consumed too, which calls for a round on the cycle and a deadlift session tomorrow. And the dinner is yet to come, which is probably ghee rotis and some dal and/or curry with raita.

Gone are the days when I was a "bodybuilder dude". Presently I am making it a point to go to the gym only out of guilt to compensate for my crazy eating habits. I'm glad at least I've that much spirit left in me, because otherwise I think I'll become one of those really fat guys who you pray shouldn't take the seat next to you on a plane.

Ah, I can smell parathas being cooked. Laugh | :laugh:

[edit] On a serious note, I've started to make a conscious effort to tone up what's left of the muscles. Smile | :)

Ok, this is Anecdotal but it is really easy to believe: After intense Cardio (45 minutes or more, and intense, not 60 minutes on a treadmill walking at 3mph talking with someone about how you are going to get your nails done later) the body crave sweets. Runners seem to get a crazy sweet tooth and unfortunately, it negates all of the gains of the run (losses : ) ).

Congrats on the run, I haven't run in a few months, ever since I got the road bike, I really need to get an hour in though to prove I still can.

OK, that's quite weird unless it truly is like that where you live.

I welcome you to my home for sampling what we eat. I'm pretty confident that your opinions will change unless you've got some kind of phobia towards food itself.

My mother makes authentic South Indian food which I usually end up binge eating, my wife makes some of the best curries and subjis of North and Western India, and I can cook some very tasty rice dishes and fast food (just ask in the GIT forum). Smile | :)

May be you're just eating badly prepared food. And the taste is just not one thing. Food can be prepared with so many ingredients and in so many flavours that it's impossible to dislike all of it.
