As I've said elsewhere, I've been losing 2-3 kg per month for the last 6 months. I also have a record of everything I've eaten in the last 9 months, and daily weighings. There's a very sharp turn at the point I added exercise to the mix.
Losing weight is a slow, methodical task. Worse, the slow speed means you won't be able to notice the effect. As I said elsewhere, I've been losing 2-3 kg a month for the last 6 months (for a total of about 17 kg or a bit less than 40lb), and I'm just starting to feel a difference.
There's no reason it has to stop at 15 lbs, though. I don't know where you're getting that.
If you just cut your calorie intake, your body will adjust. You have to exercise so you're body doesn't decide that your muscle mass is more expendable than your energy reserves (fat).
Your body is not a simple machine. How much you eat impacts how much you use; simply cutting calorie intake will just cause your resting metabolism to drop. Worse, you might start metabolizing muscle.
And I've been doing so for the last 6 months. I've been keeping track of what I eat in a database, and I can tell you that if you're not, you're constantly changing your diet. Eating till you're full will have drastically different nutritional values, and you're just not equipped to gauge that.
I've also been exercising. I wasn't losing weight until I did both.
I've never signed a license agreement boxed software. I have for real software licenses. Without a signed licensing agreement, a software sale is just that, a sale. It's not a license, and has no terms.
If you're arguing that it's ok to kill people for some pseudo-scientific ideas about population, then put your money where your mouth is. And a bullet.
Current gen iPods use a different communication protocol. The only way to sync them without iTunes involves jailbreaking and ssh, which is obviously well beyond the pleb's capabilities.
People who use iTunes want any new hardware they buy to work with their existing system. They want to plug it in and have it show up in iTunes. Anything else won't due for those people.
Rolling another management program, no matter how good it is, will not do. People want to plug the device in and have it work with what they've already set up. Apple knows this, which is why they're being obstructionist.
And what is still out there is continually dwindling, because manufacturers are prevented from making themselves compatible with what people already have, and the plebs are frightened by the idea of switching.
If there were viable alternatives, but for the most part there aren't. In large part because Apple uses iTunes to hold people's music collections hostage.
If they opened up the iPod communication protocols, none of this would be an issue. They could Mac up the Windows port of iTunes to their heart's content and it wouldn't matter, if people had the option to just choose something else.

Even if you're a tub of lard, the body reduce your metabolism and metabolize unused muscle mass before using fat reserves.
McDonald's hasn't been around long enough to have an evolutionary impact. Starvation has.

If I walked out of that store, and someone offered to give me an exact copy of that suit for free, I wouldn't complain.
By reading this comment, you agree to send me $5.

Or shut the fuck up.

If my doctor said virii, I'd be concerned. If my IT director said viruses, I'd be concerned.
Or no longer present articles on perl.com.
There's still plenty that's not fit even for hamburgers or "nuggets". Things like organs, and ground bone.
Grass-fed beef and organic chicken still have bits that aren't worth using for human consumption. What do you think happens to that.
The grains would be grown and left to rot regardless; farming is ridiculously subsidized.
Can you cite that?
Palm wasn't originally using Apple's Vendor ID. They only started doing so in 1.1 after Apple interfered with their media sync mode.
But it's useless for new ones.

At least not without jailbreaking and installing ssh on them.

You won't be able to with newer ones.

Apple forces people to install iTunes to access their iPods.
Package the needed libraries as a part of iTunes and no one would care.
And leave the awful player and browser plugins out.
