That's why I usually skip the fries and soda when I eat at McDonalds.
Not only that... it's usually fun to watch their faces when you say you don't want fries. A lot of them look like they're debating whether to call security.

I still don't really know how to talk to someone who's going to die.
I saw Kevin Mitnick do something like this last July. He was giving a talk and asked for two people in the audience to give him their phone numbers. He typed them into his laptop and a couple of seconds later one phone received an SMS from the other one.
Couple this with a few premium-rate phone lines and thieves basically have a license to print money.
OTOH there's absolutely no need to spend double on 'organic'/'bio', foods. The difference between them and the other stuff is mostly marketing. 'Organic' and 'bio' are just meaningless weasel words put there to put the price up. Notice they're not claiming it's 'more healthy' on the packets - that would be illegal, because there's zero evidence for it.
The single best thing you can do to improve your diet is cook for yourself and see what goes in there. Basic foods are really easy to prepare, they don't really take much time, it's way cheaper and you'll end up eating a lot more variety. Some of my favorite recipes (the ones I get asked to make most) have only four ingredients in them and take ten about minutes to make. I can make a pizza and be eating it before the pizza delivery guy arrives, and it'll be nicer, too.
The only real trick is to have some ingredients in the cupboards when you get home. Always have loads of rice, pasta, flour, fried tomato, garlic, olive oil, etc., in the house then buy extras when you do the weekly shop. e.g. What will you throw in the rice this week? Sausages, bacon and fried tomato or broccoli, cashew nuts and soy sauce? Frozen vegetables are good to have, too. get a cheap steamer for cooking them - ten minutes of steam will cook almost anything if it's chopped up in little pieces.
Also: Don't bother with cookbooks. They mostly complicate things by needing weird ingredients that you never heard of. The trick is just to look around the store for ideas. Experiment. Grab stuff you like the taste of and mix it up with other stuff. Think about things you've eaten in the past then try to reproduce them.
I'm starting to sound like Jamie Oliver now...but it's just because it's so stupidly simple to cook. Makes me want to grab people and shake them when I see them buying "instant microwave food" crap that tastes like greasy cardboard (and usually takes them as long to prepare as real food!), especially when they've got children in tow.
I find it mind blowing that the official food guide pyramids still promote fast carbs so much.
The official pyramids aren't based on what's good for you, they were produced after the second world war when some foods were plentiful and others were scarce. The idea was to get people to eat what was most available.
There's also reason to believe that certain agricultural representatives had an 'influence' in what's in them.
Exactly right. Anyone who has the skills to write a BASIC interpreter will also be someone who thinks BASIC is a POS, and won't have any interest at all in doing such a thing.
A piece of hollow copper pipe works best due to the extra skin effect.
Plumb the pipes as close to your amplifier and speakers as possible then bridge the remaining couple of inches using 30A electric shower cable. I did this last year and the improvement in sound was remarkable. Even my wife noticed.
The magnetic data is analog. so, it's less 1's and 0's than 1.0031 and 0.073... Overwriting with zeros could leave some evidence of the previous data eg (w/ a 1/100th retention: 0.010031 and 0.0073).
So Manning certainly knew about this kind of thing, but either didn't do it or didn't do it correctly. I wonder how difficult it is to mess something like that up?
Depends on the method used.
If you just "cat/dev/null >dummy.txt" then there'll be a bit of data at the end of each incomplete file cluster which isn't overwritten.

I bet they make more on the soda...with fries a close second.
(hence all the upselling when you order - note that the burger stays the same size, only the fries and soda get bigger when you 'upgrade')
I've visited the USA and I can let you into the secret: Portion sizes.
Everything there is served in huge amounts compared to other countries.

Fact: You and everybody you know is going to die.
Knowing that, how do you want to be spoken to...?
Happens to me too. My spelling is fine, it's my typing that's a bit wobbly.
What's the difference if it appears on your bill?

Does it make less sense to you than, say, religion? The two things seem pretty similar to me.
Arent online payments actuallt cheaper for them?
Um, yeah ... don't apply for any jobs in marketing or management, ok? You're not cut out for it.
Yeah, but they won't. And Verizon knows it...
So...don't eat junk.

Germs may be OK-ish but watch out for molds. Molds can leave nasty toxins behind.
That doesn't change the fact that the food pyramid most people have been looking at all their lives isn't based on real science.
You could pay based on how close a person eats to his calorie target (eg. 2400 calories/day), bonus multiplier if it's got lots of variety in it.
Why is pizza bad? Is it bad at all?
Pizza eaten in moderation? Nothing wrong with it.
Pizza every day? Regularly doing all-you-can-eat pizza until your guts are bursting? Not so much.
Most foods on the market are contaminated with chemicals
Um, all food is made of 100% chemicals.

Humor. You don't have it.
Stand at an intersection some time, count how many seconds the average driver brakes for.
Whatever, let's call it two (or three) for the sake of argument. What exactly should you do?
The magnetic data is analog. so, it's less 1's and 0's than 1.0031 and 0.073...
Overwriting with zeros could leave some evidence of the previous data eg (w/ a 1/100th retention: 0.010031 and 0.0073).

Watching the workprint was the best part. It's interesting to see the behind-the-scenes stuff.
My thoughts when I read this story: "Sounds interesting, where do I get a copy?"
Nope. When enough sensors fail it automatically disengages the autopilot and switches to more direct control (ie. control inputs work directly).
Or you can flip a switch and get direct control whenever you want.
Airbuses are stable and can even glide. They aren't like unstable fighter planes where the computer is necessary to keep the thing in the air.
