   Totally. Which is why I said "thanks for downvoting". I'm happy disagreement resulted in deserved punishment.

   Is the book relevant for vegetarians and vegans as well?

   Cheap? Definitely. Unethical? Its in their policy. I pay the annual Costco membership after all.

   I'd love to explore this option at one point (Vespa drooling time). In the meantime there is the ebike and ordinary bike options too. Until you need to grocery shop for a week or two ahead that is.

   If there is an opportunity to have something you temporarily need and likely wont need beyond the given project, then how is that not simply utilizing the system in place? It's a life hack.

   I'm a student so the return policy way is really the cheapest out there. As to why people feel OK doing it, why shouldn't we? Costco, in particular, offers an unusually long return policy. I don't exactly return underwear or dirty plates, b

   I'm sure the practice won't be greeted here with open arms, but I often 'rent' items from big chain stores with long return policies when I need to and just return the items before the time goes up. 90% of the time I don't keep the purchase

    Ok, just to reiterate: there is a gym and a pool on board.

    I wouldn't get so fired up quite yet: the way HN rates comments is very bizarre.

    I like to daydream about a scenario like yours, but by and large it's an exception to the rule, and one that is even most frustrating in light of high education costs.

    Wow man, you seriously like Spoon. I thought I was die hard. The last album is a bit of a disappointment for me though. Let's be friends though: last.fm/user/imissmyjuno

    I'm going to print your comment out and sign it in blood. I'm still shocked I have a 6GB iPhone data plan that includes tethering. That's a much better deal than the 20GB cable Internet capped at under 5mbit, p2p traffic shaped, with incons

    My dad always took black and white photos, even through the 90s. So I suppose you're not.

    You know what's sad? That you can't save anything in Audio Tool! I spent at least 2-3 hours tinkering with it only to discover I can merely immortalize my efforts into an MP3.

    Not at all. I wanted to see how people work and what speeds they do it given their approach to the combination of thinking+coding time.

    Agreed. Thanks to everyone responding to the question! The insight is invaluable.

    Of all these, the universal problem is only number one, and still only due to the amounts of food. Portion sizes have nothing to do with carbs being evil on their own, and are definitely something one can restrain self on. Anything in large

    While the whole "people did it for ages" argument never works I must admit I'm rather puzzled how one would give up potatoes, rice _and_ bread. How exactly are they evil? What is so dangerous about carbs? Aren't snacks to blame? In a typica

    I've been curious about this for a while: how would one cut out carbs? They're the most easily absorbable form of energy available. Without carbs you would have to bring in energy in the form of fats which can't be good in the long run.

    What causes cancer outside of factors brought about by human intervention?

    Agreed, but the main point still stands: there can definitely be factors outside of our knowledge and control which we will simply not be aware of until it is too late. The old "life would be so much easier without this little nature's i

    Two words: population control. There are too many of us now for them to keep up though.

    You're so right! Let's drop our phones, iPhone apps, and run off to sell Android applications where the soil is fertile and customers just don't know what to do with all of their cash.

    Bundling as standard your own proprietary plugin which you know no one else will bundle is definitely not pushing innovation, and is little different from ActiveX, DirectShow filters, VBScript and the rest.
