I know many adults who've taken public speaking courses to get over their fear of it. And yet, kids are just told to do it by their teachers as if it's a perfectly natural rite of passage. Why isn't public speaking taught as a skill in school? It only comes naturally to a few, and I'm sure even those few could benefit from some instruction.
Likewise, no one ever commits crimes because they chance going to jail.
Right.
In real life, people are more impulsive and don't think realistically about future consequences. This is why arming everyone makes things worse. It's the ones who fly off the handle that win the draw, not the rational "good guys."
The universe is just a really big quantum vacuum fluctuation. It came from nothing and will eventually collapse back into nothing and as long as it doesn't interact with other universes it will be exactly like it never existed at all. Which it doesn't.
I'm in my mid forties. My doc told me a couple of years ago that I was just a little overweight but that I was going to have problems in ten years if I didn't lose some.
I lost 30 pounds in 2011 by just eating less but found it extremely difficult to not "cheat." I finally hit a plateau 10 pounds short of my goal and in the first half of 2012 I put 5 pounds back on. It was a real struggle; I felt I was constantly depriving myself.
Last September I started alternate day fasting, not so much to lose weight but for the potential longterm health benefits. Compared to constantly watching how much I eat, this is relatively easy since I feel like I'm only depriving myself for a single day and I feel rewarded every other day. On my fasting days I eat just 600 calories which requires planning, but on my eating days I can pretty much eat what I want without guilt or lasting negative consequences (I find I can't pig out like I used to anyway).
I lost the 5 pounds I gained at the start of 2012, hit the plateau again for a couple of weeks, then lost another 5 pounds. I was still 5 pounds short of my goal but I was happy at that weight. My doc was too. I crave healthier foods now on my eating days and my sense of smell is stronger, to the point that a lot of junk food I used to like now smells and tastes terrible and I have no desire to eat it.
On top of that, I discovered it was easy to get back onto my schedule after vacations and holidays, so I let myself go over Christmas when I was constantly around family and food, put on 8 pounds, got back on my schedule after New Year's and have since lost 4 pounds. I really feel I'm now in control of my weight.
For exercise, I started walking home from the train station after work a few years ago. 20 minutes of walking every weekday isn't enough, of course, so I started walking to the station in the morning as well (every work day, even through the long Canadian winter). I also set a daily reminder in Outlook to get up and move and -- whenever it pops up -- I jog up and down four floors in my office building, then snooze the reminder for an hour. I can't always get up when it goes off, but it sits there on the screen until I can take a break. Again, it's not a lot of exercise but it's more than I did before, and I discovered after injuring my foot and taking a break from my little jogs that even with the fasting I need that little bit of exercise to maintain my metabolism and lose weight.
Finally, I needed to do something for activity in the evenings and on weekends, so I set up hourly reminders on my Ubuntu workstation at home (alarm-clock.pseudoberries.com), the idea being if I'm not at my workstation I'm already moving around (or, if I'm watching TV with the family, I get up at the end of each show). I haven't found the perfect exercise plan yet, but currently what works for me is lifting weights (three to eight reps, only one set, arms one week, chest and back the other week) on eating days, then 20 situps and morning glories (with weights) on non-eating days. It's about five minutes out of every hour... not likely the best plan for serious bodybuilding, but I am looking better and feeling great, I'm moving, my blood pressure dropped to a healthy level, and most of all I find it fairl
The OP wants a solution that works on OSX 10.4 and Teamviewer does not.
So much modern software does not work on 10.4, though, that I considered it a lost cause and upgraded my kids' iMac rather than try to continue to support it. The OP may want to cut his/her losses and do the same.
One thing I took from BSG and that I think applies to Lost is that good television is like life; appreciate each new episode 'cause the ending's gonna suck.
Yes, protecting electronics from solar storms and nuclear explosions is impressive and all, but what I really need is something to stop the brrp-brrp-brrp-brrp from my BlackBerry.
As my enjoyment of the album increases with each listen I may buy it again to reflect it's true worth to me. I think this could be a viable business model for a lot of other established artists.
But your statement that Radiohead achieved this with no marketing help from a major label is misleading. True, no label was involved in the marketing of this album, but Radiohead is an established act thanks to the marketing efforts of their former label. I purchased In Rainbows because I developed a taste for Radiohead after they were forced on me via radio, TV, and movies. I'm pretty happy that happened, but while looking forward to the demise of the current music industry I pause to wonder who's going to weed through the millions of mundane acts to find the real gems and direct me to their websites? I can't possibly listen to them all.
And lets not forget all the religious fanatics [...] panicking, and causing social unrest or upheaval around the globe What? Just for a change, you mean?

Seems like a waste of neurons that I still remember entering G=C800:5 from DEBUG to run the low-level format utility on the hard drive controller ROM.

Hopefully NASA has a better contingency plan than they did with their car-sized Venus Probe that ran amok in the '70s: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4st0a0gWp0
Sorry, my fault. Been working on the global warming thing.
Let's just see how the snake population changes when the females no longer have headaches.

[...] they are going to send a live audio stream from the trial. It will be broadcast without editing or translation.
Thanks, but I'll wait for the torrent.
... but I keep it sedated with chocolate.
They already do. You just have to start smoking them when you're really young.
... read the headline and thought it said "Cancer-Fighting Beer" and... wait... what? OH MY GOD!!!!

Anyone who has ever used a public toilet in Sweden would know that this has been in development for some time.
... said I was daft to build a tower on a bog, but I built it all the same, just to show them.
