Rubbish. I'm obese and cook 90% of my meals myself, with fresh meat and veg. I also enjoy my food too much, work a desk job, and struggle to make time to exercise enough.
To lose weight you have to consume fewer calories or burn more of them. Which makes it sound easy, which it is not.
It is easy. Very easy. You simply aren't doing it. You start by eating less, then go from there.
However, the time investment to make a jar of salsa and can it, or to make a large pot of pasta sauce or chicken stock for the next month or two is probably out of the range of time a single mother with two jobs has.
He poked the cage, repeatedly, and finally got bit. Is this surprising to anyone, let alone Sonne himself? It's what he wanted all along, to prove himself right.
The business plan of the studios that signed up to participate is literally:
1. Annoy your paying customers.
2. ???
3. Profit!!!
What actually happened is that they finally managed to make me stop buying movies. There were many close calls before, but this is finally the last straw.
They started the "Annoy your customers" years ago by putting overly long menus and transitions in. Then it kept going when they added trailers and commercials before the main menu. Then they made those unskippable. These anti-piracy ads are just the latest in a long line of "Annoy the paying customer" business decisions.
20 years ago, the Adult ticket price in Ontario was $8. Now it's $13. That's pretty much following inflation. 3D, IMAX, and other options will increase that of course, but they're entirely optional expenses.
Movies aren't $20 a ticket here, and I don't eat theatre food. Maybe I'll grab a coffee (~$2 at the most) . Haven't had to deal with sticky floors at any of the big reputable chains or the smaller indies. Never go Friday or Saturday nights on the opening weekend. My movie going experience has been very good for the most part for a very long time. YMMV.
Boo hoo. Pays your money and takes your chances. Read reviews from a number of sources before deciding to go. The world doesn't owe anyone a guaranteed good time. "I need to watch before I go" is another bullshit entitlement excuse.
LOL, the "poor student" excuse is such complete bullshit and reeks of the entitlement mentality. When I was a "poor student" we just either saw it at a second run theatre, or waited to rent it 6 months later.
Either one's a pretty huge task if you've really got eleventy-thousand photos there.
That's a whole 'nother problem altogether. Digital means people are taking dozens of times more pictures than we did back in the film days, and not everything NEEDS to be saved.
Cull. Pick a handful of the best ones, print and digitally archive those.
And ignore the morons who say "Why bother printing?"
Won't happen. It's been proven that in the NHL at least, the more armour you give the players, the more risks they take AND the harder they hit. Better helmets won't help the NFL or the players without rendering them immobile. Unless you take away all contact, there's very little to be done.
Tax avoidance is not unethical. It is in fact legally required of publicly held corporations who must operate to the maximum legal advantage of their stockholders.
Please find this law and let me know in which jurisdictions it is effective.

That's because the US laws changed in the 90s. Before then, you couldn't hold dual US and other citizenship.
That's why D'Angelo's rocks so hard: 3 sizes of subs, plus properly cooked hot subs. Hot damn, I miss Boston! :)
Yes, it's food. But why? Why do we eat McDonalnds? Because it's tasty, and it tasty because it has calories.
It really isn't tasty at all. It's "cheap" and convenient. And advertised to death.

Nice strawman,
yep, copyright would work as intended.
you'd have more money for whatever.
you'd have less business as a media mogul just selling the same old crap again and again.
you could cover beatles songs for free.
you'd have much more easier time creating new music, new interpretations.
Laffo. There's nothing holding anyone back under the current system for creating new music.
I think everyone--even those holding patents for two lifetimes--thinks that current system is nuts.
Patents do NOT last for "two lifetimes." R->C->P

I smell a sequel to "Total Recall" coming on. Hopefully they'll get Verhoeven for it.
Because the weed is just that good!

Because phones and computers are two different things?
Stop doing "lots of overtime" then.
"Toxic waste" is generally used as a substitution for "nuclear waste" once GE gets wind of it. (See "Atomic Train" http://www.nirs.org/factsheets/atomictrainfacts.htm )

Cam is a novelty and helpful to poor students.

Great link! Though I fear I've been on Slashdot too long: I misread his name as Terence Taco...
Freur beat him too it.
