Early nineties, XCom Apocalypse has been announced, so in excitement after playing XCom Terror From The Deep I start up BASIC and start drawing a logo of XCom Apocalypse using line commands. Well, I've ended up working as a computer programmer specialized in graphics. But I'm probably still as inefficient in getting the job done:D
From the dictionary: "to become thoroughly proficient"
I think I need an hour of CodeSpells and I can add Java proficiency to my CV; I've only spend a hundred hours coding in it, so I've set my skill as "exposed to" instead.
First of all reduce the crap that you're consuming, that's quite important as you can understand. That said, whatever applies to you:
- Walk/Cycle to work
- Use stairs whenever you find the chance (ascending only, be kind to your knees)
- Take breaks to go for a walk
- Go running after work (run to home perhaps?)
For my digital goods, I can find other... marketplaces. Without DRM, reselling issues, artificial 'used' tags and more neverending crap. Guess what, they are cheaper too.
We won't give a shit soon enough. I switched to DirectX a few years ago, as OpenGL 2.1 was getting to my nerves due to everything breaking with new drivers. Well, DX11 ain't pretty either. Lots of drivers bugs when shaders get.. hairy.
OpenGL has now caught on, DirectX is trying to push Win8 (I have it for free being a student but no thanks, not installing that), PIX is not working very well anyway for complex shaders, so bye bye won't miss you, back to GL.
Bullshit. I drink enough coffee (4-5 mugs per day), but my 'morning cup' is 3h after I wake up. And I can function just fine. I'm sure I'm not that special.
I can speak for Greece: you move out when you get married, or if you can make a living and have had enough living with your parents. The latter is more frequent when you go to a university in a different city, be forced to live by yourself, and then rediscover the 'beauty' of living with your parents. The crisis has been skewing the staying-with-mom age range, as you'd be a fool (or desperate) to start paying more than half of your wage for rent/bills while you have a house around already.
This isn't a troll, this is how many rational, educated people in government think about the elderly problem. Let's have some real discussion instead of burying real-world opinions with which we disagree.
So I assume these rational and educated people, after they retire, they would live in a small flat for a few years and would happily give their lives away to save money for the goverment? I don't think that's the case dude. Working for the better part of your life, and when you can't work you should die? Well if you support that, start with your parents. Let us know how that goes:)

FOR airlines like Delta, these are not trivial matters. A decision a few years ago to shave one ounce from its steaks, for example, saved the airline $250,000 a year. And every step of kitchen labor increases costs when so many meals are prepared daily. An entrée accounts for about 60 percent of a meal’s cost, according to Delta, while appetizers account for 17 percent, salads 10 percent and desserts 7 percent.
Delta also calculated that by removing a single strawberry from salads served in first class on domestic routes, it would save $210,000 a year. The company hands out 61 million bags of peanuts every year, and about the same number of pretzels. A one-cent increase in peanut prices increases Delta’s costs by $610,000 a year.

The only thing that will eviscarate is their profits from Xbox 720 sales.

You're missing the point
Oops, meant to say /. - damn dyslexia
What were you *thinking*?

Yes, but at what cost?
he's coming
if it's broke, bin it.
I wouldn't like to imagine what a mess it is, so that they're giving up on fixing it.
I usually have my algorithmic eurekas when I sleep, but I never seem to recall the solution when I wake up. Damn.

Seriously, why are we still using such retarded fonts?
Seriously, in terms of imaginative ways to accomplish stuff, researchers beat the shit out of everybody.
10$ : Thanks.
100$ : Many thanks.
1000$ : Thanks!!!!11 We'll even say thanks in our published papers (acknowledgements)
This model might not work as it has with games and other media.
Just sayin'
Laughable as it sounds, a datacenter worker can let his place for quite a bit of £££ during that period (basement dwellers need to ask mom first)
Saw the title and thought: "Wow, death threats in public? They couldn't be driving THAT bad..."
Lack of trust fed and driven by powers that want their subjects to remain uneducated, and thus more easily controllable.
Obviously using the Smell-O-Scope
The tastebud stuff sound like pathetic excuses..
