Honestly, what's the best-case scenario here? If you're at some minimum-wage turnover factory, then by all means, follow this guide. If you're in a job that you plan on keeping for a little while, then I'd emphatically recommend that you look elsewhere.

"My other rule - it's OK to feel hungry."

How would you be creating better habits regarding your impulsive shopping if you're just waiting to buy groceries when you're closer to zero? Sounds like you'd just do your impulsive shopping elsewhere and end up with crappy groceries.

Whatever happened to "Spend less on groceries by using a budget"?

Okay, fine. What was your argument, exactly?

I think that reading the dozen-plus posts that you've made on this topic may actually help me to gauge your morals on this topic, yes.

How can you know something and not acknowledge it? That seems like a leap. Thinking something shouldn't be illegal is hardly the same is refusing to acknowledge that it is, in fact illegal. As to me not knowing what your morals are, the fact that you can't understand the difference between someone who lights up a bowl…

Well, okay, I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion.

So, then your position is that since perceptions of drug users can be inaccurate, it's up to people moralizing on the internet to assist strangers through their choices?

I think we may have taken different things away from the article. Being good at your job doesn't mean that you'd be good at managing people in your job. Leadership isn't about hard work, and it's not about positive attitude (though those are clearly helpful), it's about leading people. Not only subordinates, but also…

Ultimately, if you want to advance, you need to make your superiors look good. From your desk, you know what you're doing, why you're doing it, and how it helps the company (hopefully, at least). But to management, and especially those one or two degrees removed from you, you're a resource that's performing one of a…

I think that it's a matter of rejecting an idea without rejecting the person who came up with it - or, in other more sensitive cases, going out of your way to make the person not feel attacked.

Honestly, you still may want to consider it. While you'd be able to process images faster on a beefier laptop, a desktop PC will be able to process them much faster than even that, at least, keeping your budget constant.

Why are you driving 40 miles to work for what's apparently a low-paying job already? Why not use Skype or other alternatives to driving 300 miles to see your wife? Why did you buy a new car if you make $1500 a month? If you're asking what other people would do, I imagine most would start there.

I think the simpler explanation is that HarithBK is a teenager who thinks everyone who isn't him is a moron.

I'm not saying that I don't think your solution is cool (I do!), but wouldn't it be easier, cheaper, and more effective just to plunk down $100 and install a LoJack?

Citation please? I don't think this is true.

At which point he'd look at you, roll his eyes, and walk away.

NZB indexers and usenet hosts have been getting pressured by industry groups for years. We're way. way past all this "first rule" garbage.
