I'm going to assume you won't change your job or location to create more time in your life to actually do the exercise your body needs.
The next best thing you can do is tune your eating habits. Because you're fighting calories in/out imbalance, and you have no tools to improve the "out" part, you must focus on the "in" part:
* Don't buy calorie-dense foods. Slowly wean yourself completely off cookies, cake, desserts. If they're around, you'll eat them.
* Start shitfing towards a more "vegetarianish" diet. If you eat out, make sure it's a salad, bean salad, tofu dish, stir-fry veggies. Learn to skip the meat and load up on the fiber.
* Replace those 300-calorie Coolatas with a mug of low-fat low-sodium chicken broth. Broth really does kill the hunger pangs and has close to zero calories (30 calories in a 48-oz can).
If you want to avoid buying ever-larger clothes, you're going to have to re-tune your eating habits for the reality you've put yourself into. But you can do it -- it's all about being consious and making choices. Do it one little step at a time, and keep doing it.
Look...DON'T put that on your resume. At least not so directly. It's ok if it gets characterized that way in by an interviewer, but you absolutely don't want to project that karma from your core, if you are looking to move up the tech job food chain. They want a signal from the candidate that says you are MORE than just a TS grunt. And wtf, you are. So make your story fit that mold. And make them know you are hungry for a chance to do something more. If they sense some enthusiasm in that department they will be hard pressed to turn you down. There are employers who see beyond past experience and pedigrees. It's happened to me, I hope it happens to you. Good luck!
Wouldn't it have been interesting if Chris has simply added the words "VOID" on top of his otherwise fake pass, as an obvious and easily pruned after thought in the code. I wonder what would have happened then?
saying or dialing your credit card number, it is just like emailing it
Yeah, even just thinking your CC is dangerous; grabbing the resulting brain waves and decoding them is exccedingly simple too.
Get real. Yes the audio can be captured and replayed. That's doesn't make finding a spoken credit card simple. The effort involved would be enormous compared to scanning for 16 ASCII digits in emails. No one who can snoop public traffic for CC numbers is going to waste their time and resources doing this when there is a far more accessible source available.
Invariably, the system fails to understand your input, or picks up background noise or coughs as intended inputs.
Invariably the posted article makes assertions in the superlative to which the lazy will wag their heads yes. Let me tell you what is invariable.
Invariably, company call centers are an expense, not a profit. Invariably companies want to save expense, and call center automation improves over time due to improving recognition and voice application technology.
Invariably the systems that stay fielded are the ones that do the job -- 80%+ automation at 10-25% the cost of non-automated.
Invariably someone with nothing better to do will whine about a problem in broad strokes on a blog for more page hits.
Yes, switching mouse hands is the way to go, and trackball (Kensington Expert Mouse) made the switch very painless. I switched over a year ago, problem solved. And in about one month my mousing ability was the same.
I also found that wrist strecthing exercises (7th picture is the best for me) work wonders at keeping the numbness away.
...Given that, what does "Separation of church and state" really mean, anyway?
It means that you're confused.
It means that the church claims some representative connection to (some) God, and the state doesn't.
Separation of church and state DOESN'T mean one has doctrine and the other doesn't.
That X has laws and doctrines, or some unifying philosophy, does not make X a religion. We don't call what physicists do a religion. Generally some adherence to mysticism and/or belief in a "supreme being" is also required.
not because the install procedure is easier or faster, but simply because they are accostumed to doing things this way.
Exactly. That's exactly why Linux isn't easier for them. What you say though, is not a solution, just an observation. Your implication, that it is easy for users to switch well-worn behaviors and expectations, is false. That's just blaming the user, not facing reality.
,I> I don't get it, what is wrong with a store saying "Sure I will sell you this thing you really want, but at the price I want to charge. I will even include some crap you don't really want, but you still have to pay the price I want to charge"
Funny, I never see comments like this at +4 insightful when rippable audio CDs are discussed. Just a lot of casuistry regarding copyright infringment.
...1700s and 1800s? I don't know, I'm asking. Now, we have more cars and coal-fired power plants. Then, we were burning wood and coal and such in our houses for heat.
Except that back then "we" were much smaller. Several millions, vs. 6 billion now. Get real.
Why is this so purprising to you? Dentists are people who need to make a living, and "marketing" services that might be of use to you is nothing so out of the ordinary. It's true that dentists have the cachet of doctors and (at first) seem to imbue their recommendations with the same assumed trust by the patient, but really...you're a big boy, make your own choices.
Yes, much of what such dentists might recommend could be perceived as optional treatment. So make that judgement for yourself. Oral health is not a black and white situation. Some people see it as a necessary evil and just make sure there's no continuous dental pain. Others are more concerned with how their teeth and smile affect their emotional expressiveness and the image they project to others. Both are prefectly valid -- it's just a personal choice. A good dentist will make sure you aren't left behind in making those choices.
OTOH if you feel pressured by a dentist to have a certain procedure the by all means seek out 2nd and even 3rd opinions. It's usually much less expensive than just capitulating to treatment and later finding out you shouldn't have. Dentists vary widely in their competence, as I well know from experience.
Ummm....the likelihood that the laywers will collect as much or more than the license fees involved? The fact that "extortion" won't be a factor in the case?
This crap has happened for so long, the only surprise is that Apple didn't put the warnings there. Not saying Apple made a dangerous product, just that their lawyers clearly didn't do their job to protect them (assuming no significant 'idiot' warnings were included -- I don't own one so I don't know).
Put the fear... into your subordinates or you're going to end up on the garbage heap.
If the kind of organization you want to run is one where the employees do what they do out of fear, you're welcome to it.
The rest of us will just do our best work, enjoy it, and placidly take the next step with our carreers when management starts serving that flavor of Kool-Aid.

We can be indignant about IP hoarding but let's eschew vacuous arguments about creation vs. use of an idea.
And people don't need motiviation to use good ideas (at least all the people I've met).
Does the price of toilet paper motivate people not to use it? Neither is putting a dollar value on the right to use an idea a pure disinclination to use it. It all boils down to necessity. Iff the idea is shitty, its dollar value will take on an an appropriate value. And if I am in the market for ideas, knowing the price certainly helps me rank the available ones. I think that's agood thing.
