AMC's pricing becomes better if you take advantage of premium offerings, namely IMAX, Dolby, and 3D options; some tickets will go as high as $20 for a single screening. However, I just find it better to take advantage of their $5 Tuesday Tickets --- there tends to be less people overall, and most movies by then will have passed the opening-weekend-surge.
For me, there seems to be a different psychological effect between AMC's approach ($20/month --- watch LOTs of movies) vs Cinemark's approach ($9* ticket/month). The former feels like I have to force myself to watch 3-4 movies a month just to "break even", while the latter is more "Oh, I can watch a new movie, and pay the same price if I want to watch another".
*Cinemark MovieClub bills you $9/month, which gives you 1 movie credit â" access to regular/premium screenings. Credits roll-over. All subsequent tickets are also $9.
I agree. The improvements in battery tech from one generation to another is significant, in that it can be lifestyle-changing. Range anxiety can be a real and frustrating issue to deal with.
I helped a friend go a different approach for an EV-as-a-commuter/second car option: Buy used, and the price drop from a lot of off-lease vehicles can be significant (e.g. Fiat 500e, Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Volt, Mitsubishi i-Miev, BMW i3, etc).
Some back-of-the-napkin math using a Nissan Leaf as an example:
2017 lease: $229/month for 36 months + $2,000 at signing = $10,244 + taxes + etc
2014 off-lease purchase with ~32K miles: $8,500-$11,000 using Kelly Blue Book / Private Party valuation
Some areas even give additional incentives, even to pre-owned buyers (e.g. $500 PG&E Clean Fuel Rebate), and older EVs may still have the Clean Air Vehicle (CAV) sticker that may eventually phase out in January 2019 in California.
If you're patient and do your research, you might find a very good deal that may work to your advantage. My friend ended up getting a 2013 Fiat 500e with 27,000 miles for $6400 after taxes and rebates. Decent commuter vehicle, and the owner gets to enjoy company-provided charge stations (so effectively "free miles" while employed).
Dan Ariely, an economist, also has a similar story to share:
As I mention in the video, what's really interesting is that this locksmith was penalized for getting better at his profession. He was tipped better when he was an apprentice and it took him longer to pick a lock, even though he would often break the lock! Now that it takes him only a moment, his customers complain that he is overcharging and they don't tip him. What this reveals is that consumers don't value goods and services solely by their utility, benefit from the service, but also a sense of fairness relating to how much effort was exerted.
Not tipping
"No tip, you get four stars. Slam doors, you get four stars. If you start to do multiple dumb things, your rating goes lower."

I've found this pretty useful. The person ahead of me had their card swallowed for whatever reason (maybe incorrect PIN entered one too many times), so using the contactless method was a relief.
One limitation I've found is that Bank of America has restricted this to withdrawals only. To deposit cash or checks, you'd have to insert your ATM card still.
So potentially someone finishing their undergrad could start off with a USD 100K salary, when combined with this other bill. Now 100K may not be much in the coasts and various STEM fields, but then who decides which degrees/fields get priority? From what I can tell, it's almost always been lottery the past several years, even those in the "advanced degree" fields.
Independently, both bills have good intent at addressing specific problems. Taken together, it introduces another one (or more, depending on how many lawyers can take advantage of it).
This is pretty much what many reviewers and gamers point out every time a game is released on both platforms. Inevitably, someone always points out that the game runs at 1080p on the PS4 but only at 900p or 720p on Xbox One, if only to validate that they made the "right choice" with their platform purchase.
Better late than never, I suppose, but some big players like Walmart and Home Depot are trying to get chip and PIN, albeit in a round-about way by suing the networks.
An optometrist recommended corrective lenses for me as well to deal with slight astigmatism, and I gave it a shot for about 10 weeks before stopping it because it just never got comfortable. I've noticed that frequently putting them on/off causes a hint of a lingering headache, but I'm guessing that could be due to my eyes/brain trying to re-focus constantly.
These days, I've just made font sizes larger in the primary programs I use â" Terminal, IDE, mail, web browser, etc. That's made things much easier to read by taking much less effort. I've made a similar change on my mobile devices (laptop, phone). I figure every bit helps in reducing/slowing down the degradation of vision.
Only Jonathan Kuck's personal best beats out the top scorer in this competition. I'll defer to wiser minds in determining whether having a suit give you +5-10 second advantage is "fair" in this competition.
Use a password management tool (e.g. 1Password) which has your different accounts/credentials.
Prepare a document (e.g. will) that will disclose the password management tool's master password to your next of kin or designated executor.
In addition, I prepared a list of 'emergency documents' that contains all the pertinent info I have (passports, social security numbers, tax documents, etc) in both electronic and paper forms.
It's a convenience for me that I have access to all of this at my finger tips, but I imagine it would be a great convenience / time-saver for what is already a trying and difficult time.
It would really depend on your site requirements -- namely, what you want to track, how to correlate said info, etc.
You might want to check out GLPI. It covers the basics that most inventory management software does. The documentation is a bit lacking / confusing, but there're enough users out there who can help. It's pretty flexible, too, but seeing that the OP mentioned isn't a web coder, that's not as good a selling point.
On another note, I'd recommend searching SourceForge and Freshmeat for "inventory." It might just so happen that someone's written it in such a way that fits your needs. In my experience, every organization has always had something slightly different, where one works better than the other.
That's what TinkerTool is for. It hasn't been updated for Leopard yet, but I doubt it will take long. Now as to why Apple didn't do that is an entirely different story...
Agreed. I just ported my number from Cingular to Vonage. You will need to get your Account Number from the carrier which is different from the phone number (you can call customer service for this).

Comcast Business is charging me:
- $60 for 16/3
- $105 for 50/10
- $175 for 100/20
each with 1 static IP. Add $5 more and you'll get a total of 5 static IPs.

Summary doesn't mention this, but the vulnerability is in libupnp that is used by most of these mobile apps.
At least the Airport Extreme comes with 3 extra GigE LAN ports.

I'ved used my Kinesis Advantage keyboard since 2004, but I know it saw some use before I took ownership of it.
It's my trusted keyboard that I've brought along different jobs. I have my friends and former coworkers to thank for in turning me onto this device.
Emery Lehman, highest scorer for the US, on the Men's 5000 meter competitions:
Salt Lake City USA (2013-11-17): 6 min 19.86 sec (personal best)
Sochi Olympics 2014 (2014-02-08): 6 min 29.94 sec
His performance at the Sochi Olympics is 19.18 seconds away from the top scorer.
Jonathan Kuck, second after Lehman for the same competition:
Salt Lake City USA (2013-11-17): 6 min 09.73 sec (personal best)
Sochi Olympics 2014 (2014-02-08): 6 min 31.53 sec
Patrick Meek, third in Sochi Olympics 2014, for the same competition:
Salt Lake City USA (2012-01-21): 6 min 23.89 sec (personal best)

How long until they just resort to this?
I have something like this in place:
Use a password management tool (e.g. 1Password) which has your different accounts/credentials.
Prepare a document (e.g. will) that will disclose the password management tool's master password to your next of kin or designated executor.
In addition, I prepared a list of 'emergency documents' that contains all the pertinent info I have (passports, social security numbers, tax documents, etc) in both electronic and paper forms.
