I aspire to be a troll of your calibre. Is there some troll association I can join which will help me develop my skill-set before coming-out as a fully-developed troll? Please advise...
As TFA mentions (paraphrasing) you get next-to-no weight-loss benefit from mild exercise.
What I'm saying is that the further you get from athletic perfection, you become increasingly incapable of anything but mild exercise - body is heavier, far more chance of messing up your knee etc. if you are running on a treadmill (or breaking the treadmill - sorry:) - the less your cardiovascular system is able to sustain vigourous exercise - the less your muscles can cope - etc. blah blah blah
So, how long till people start downloading designs to print them out at home?
Not much longer, hopefully. IIRC, the reprap project is working on this for reprap version two - which seems to be much closer to release than last time I looked...
...and then you have no claim to a refund on your ticket and you can't meet the people waiting for you at the destination. They have you over a barrel with several backup barrels lurking, and everyone knows it. I'd be happier if they just came out and said:
Hi; today we'll be dicking you around as much as we like; There's nothing you can do about it because we've got all the guns and control the laws; deal with it. By the way, the terrorist threat is simply a false-flag operation, by us, to give us a nominal reason to steal any rights we've been too incompetent to steal at an earlier date. Have a nice day.
Is it really worth buying some new kit whose sole purpose is to save money when, towards the end of it's lifetime, you will just about have saved the money you spent to buy it? How about saving yourself the time and not doing it?
Umm, isn't job satisfaction traditionally one of the factors in employee happiness? Yes, I can see that you're not saying that but for those that think ahead, maybe this also plays a part when they're selecting a career/job ?
Anyhow, the thrust of my argument is that women go into the sex industry because of cash, which is (presumably) disproportionately higher than the level of skill needed, would indicate. You're now kind of saying "yeah, sure but it's like that for all jobs."
Anyway, blah blah, it's now days later and probably the 1.3 people that originally cared have lost patience with this thread?:D
What if they look at the wage slaves whose laps they sit in with the same pity we look at a fast-food worker, or MCSE? They get to dance for a bit and go home.
Wouldn't that be just a little too convenient? What next? What if victims of assault secretly enjoy it?
You'd have a point if these women were vat-grown clones who'd be terminated if they didn't perform. The truth though is that they're free to choose and the ones who would be crushed by being there aren't the ones rushing to fill the job.
This is pretty much what I'm saying. The underclass consisting of those whose efforts are rewarded poorly, regardless of the employer, live daily on the edge of poverty/starvation. This is very close to termination. In such circumstances, someone offered almost any way out will take it; this is the choice you speak of, almost Hobson's Choice.
The reality is that tons and tons of women voluntarily go into jobs in the sex industry. The pay is excellent...
I find it revealing that the thought most closely associated with willingness is pay. You didn't say, for example: "tons of women voluntarily go into jobs in the sex industry. The sense of satisfaction from their interaction with the customer and excellent health benefits attract them in droves."

PS. Yah, I know, redundant :D
The comment referred to by the article has been deleted and the guy resigned, he wasn't fired.
Don't bother. These people are beyond help.
Be fair; you're trivializing sparklines. They're graphs with *text* next to them!

This seems to imply that Diebold are *trying* to make secure voting machines.

I dunno, seems like GP (*) has a point.
(*) Multiple personalities have their benefits :)
Yah - the further your are from athletic perfection, the more slowly you are able to move towards it. It's negative feedback.
Presumably, they'll be connected with ansibles...
OK, that was unexpected. Aren't you supposed to respond with hostility? Turn in your troll card!
By all means, go ahead and mention something we've not all seen many times before.. I dare you :P
No.
My starter for ten is "you're a troll!". How was that? :D
Also, who wants to be told (via advertising) that they have the IQ of a boiled-egg and that hypno-toad (*) says to buy the product ?
Having said that I helped my tv move out five years ago and every day my brain has clawed its way slightly further back from the brink.
(*) If only they had people as charismatic as hypno-toad in ads.
skipping ads is communism / terrorism / child-unfriendly :P
*sigh*
Maybe you forgot to check 'post anonymously' ? :D
Ahh... but did the intergalactic delivery guy beat the crap out of the recipient?
Bah; Ima print out a cyborg which will hunt down RIAA executives and drag them to mcdonalds for a lifetime of compensatory slavery / idling.

In my experience, turning a hobby into a profession reduces the enjoyment quite noticeably.
