Coca-cola is the only one that is good to drink after a double-cheese burger.
Then I guess your problem is not only in the cola. I try to keep myself thin and healthy. A double cheese burger is my work lunch only once a year, or so.
And most of the time I drink tap water. It's cheap and healthy.
Why don't you just scrap insurance companies and just create a public, universal health care service like the rest of the developed world? That way, they can't deny treatment.
I love adblock but if it starts to interfere with my browsing with popups, I'll uninstall it immediately and use an alternative, or hack my own.
I don't even have the same perception of the Web as the other people. I can browse without having my brain cells burned by all those flashing ads and shit. Everytime I have to use someone else's computer I miss my adblock.
I know the web sites need financing and publicity is their moneymaker, bla, bla, bla. Yeah, right, but it's not my fault. If this business model doesn't work, find another. Just stop flashing those ads all over me.
I just wish I could get some other adblocks, maybe in the future:
Spectacles so I don't have to be bombed by the overdose of ads all around on the streets, roads and buildings all whoring for my attention. And now they use LED walls and plasma screens, so the billboards now flash and move!
Adblock television and radio. Commercials take more time than real programs, that's why I don't watch much TV or listen to much radio anymore. I don't have the patience for all the ads.
I don't have the time to learn about all the fantastic things they're trying to sell me, and I don't have the money to buy them, anyway.
Why do you, Americans, are also so weary of state control on anything and don't care about corporate control? Do you think corporations are less evil than the State? Think better. Compared to corporations, the states are little chubby angels.
This is outright illegal according to French labour laws.
I guess it's still illegal in any West and Central Europe countries (Not sure about UK (it's a special case) and in the Eastern countries the labour laws say that the boss can fuck his employees in the ass and they must smile and thank him.
This is one more scandal to add to many others in the resumé of the (borderline fascist) Sarkozy government. Corporations sitting on the Government table, where did I see this before? Oh, yeah! Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Salazar, just to mention the European ones. It's called Fascism, my friends. We all know the results of it.
Of course, if they get to finally push this European Constitution shit (against the will of the Europeans, I may add) the situation of Eastern countries will be the the rule in the whole EU.
To be honest, when I think that crooks like Sarkozy, Berlusconi and Barroso are running Europe, I feel we, the Europeans don't have much moral to cricticise Americans for electing a dumbass like Bush and his gang of thieves.
I hate voice mail with all my guts. I have it disabled in all my phones, mobile and fixed.
I took the decision of disabling it because of 2 recurring situations that were getting on my nerves:
People would call lots of times but leave no message, so whenever I was unavailable for some time I would have to waste my precious time listening to 10 empty messages.
Whenever I had to talk to someone and leave a message, that person would either not listen to it or listen and then ignore it. This happened to me all the time even for serious/urgent stuff.
Often people would tell me "I had an urgent issue to talk with you but you weren't available". I would ask "why didn't you leave a message?". The answer would be "I don't like talking to machines". Often it would be a shrug and "just because".
When I would talk to some people some days after I left a message and ask why they haven't returned my call they would tell me "I got your message but I don't listen to messages.", or even worse "yeah, I heard your message, but I don't care about messages".
One day I would smack someone, so I decided to stop using voice mail for good.
The same shit happens with SMSs and emails, so it's not a technology problem, but a cultural one. There is a culture of irresponsibility. Nowadays, I always try to make people commit on the phone or personally to some appointment, and even so, I often assume they will miss it or be late.
They need the money for more useful purposes, like bail out banks that will give bonuses to their executives, that will spend them in whores, champagne and expensive cars. This will get the economy running, again.
Who the fuck needs science and technology? Nothing like getting our priorities right.
I have a 400cc scooter and commuting is easy. No traffic jams, spends very little gas, I can park it anywhere. They even let me park it in the office underground parking that's reserved for directors because I can park it behind a pillar where no car fits in.
I have enough room for my laptop and a few other things I may need to carry. I even carry my groceries from the supermarket in it.
It's a bit worse in the winter but better thinking, when it rains the traffic jams are a lot worse. I almost feel pity for the poor jerks inside their cages (cars), stopped in the middle of the highway. They feel warm and dry but will be 1 hour late for work because it's raining and the roads are all blocked. I even get less wet than the caged guys, because they have to park 1Km away from the office and walk in the rain. I just ride with a waterproof suit over my clothes, and since I park indoors, I take the suit off and there I am, dry and warm.
I have a car, only use it on weekends to go out with the family.
Yeah, because we know that Greenpeace, PETA, Nancy Pelosi, the DailyKOS/MoveOn crowd, George Soros, Al Gore, and Harry Reid will make reasoned, informed decisions
I didn't know all these people worked for the US government...
I live in the south of Europe. It's highly likely that the Sahara crosses the Gibraltar Strait and comes knocking on my door. When that happens we'll all wish we have "interfered" more.
Up to the moment, the unbelievable stupidity (from politicians, companies and common people) in managing land goes to such an extent that makes me wonder if it's not intentional and there's a hidden conspiracy to turn my country into a desert.

Well, it's been happening for many decades in all the developed countries except for the USA.
Turn off Fox News and come see the world.
My doctor says i have hyper-metabolism. Which means i can eat and eat and eat, but never be full [or never be fat]
Lucky guy...
she got 'extremely' upset that we did not have any "action" for 2 weeks
VERY lucky guy! Sigh...
Yes, but it uses marijuana instead.

Who needs cola when there's water, beer and wine? They've been around for millennia.
I can't find any uses for cola except to unclog sanitaries and mix with bad whiskey to make it drinkable.
Yeah, I can see the business case right away:
Oh, wait a minute...

My lie detection works at 100% when I hear politicians on TV or radio. Never fails.
Ever heard of ASCII porn? For the GUI impaired.
You get to see some pictures of them in your emails. But they usually wear clothes, most of the time.
Don't be so modest.
Not so sure about the standard of living, but they do have plenty of sun, excellent food & wine and beautiful women.

My company develops cross-platform applications for Windows, MAC and LInux in C++. Qt is one hell of a cross-platform UI toolkit.

So much for public key cryptography!
Take it easy, France it not Italy! Yet.

Other than the propping up of a dictator.
Cough, cough...
And we all know the USA have never done that before, don't we?

Better start thinking about buying a camel.
