While I see the value of that advice (longer flow periods), for academic or technical writing it is often impossible. It might work for fiction or punditry, but detailed analysis requires frequently looking to citations and notes.
It's harder to lose a CD then a phone/ipod/computer. If you've ripped the CD to your computer the disc/case is just sitting on a shelf till next time you need it.
The hundreds of thousands of CDs stolen from cars across the nation disagree with you.
It's also easier to damage or completely disable a CD than it is a phone/ipod/computer. Short of willful destruction or storage medium failure will these devices render you unable to access your music. A simple scratch from using the CD will render it useless. How do you recover your tracks then?
The original point was: as long as the service is running and available, I can get another copy of my music. Now that the service is going down, it's up to you to have backups, the original source is gone. This was equated to losing a disc, and not being able to recover the music you legally purchased because you didn't have a backup, and the original was gone. A very good point, in my opinion.
Really? Because I lost 40lbs in four months last fall by meticulously counting my calories.
* You're strategy is vague and difficult to determine compliance. How much is a "decent amount"?
* My method is quantitative. Everything I ate had a number, and that number totaled less than 15 by the end of the day.
The problem I have with your method is the idea that I need to have a huge knowledge-base to make it work. How many people do you think know if their butter is "grass-fed"? If I go to Applebees, the calorie number is listed right on the menu, yet I would never be able to find out if their butter is grass-fed.
I put off trying to lose weight for years because I thought I needed to read 10 books to figure out how. Turns out all I needed was a calculator.
that's great you lost weight, but for me, and i assume others, counting calories is just another thing to think about in life.
forget the grass-fed butter, i shouldn't have added it in. the reason i said decent amount, is because it's not a quantitive amount. have a steak or some chicken every day.
a good diet is one that has the least work and you can stick with for life.
