So, tomorrow night is my last in Las Vegas for a while, and I'm torn for dinner options. India Masala here at the Riviera offers Chicken Vindaloo at an outrageous price, while right next door, Angelina's Italian Dining offers freshly made Lasagna at a reasonable cost. It's a difficult choice, since the Vindaloo is a complete unknown, but I love the stuff, but though I haven't tried the Lasagna at Angelina's, I had the pizza tonight and quite enjoyed it; that bodes well for the Lasagna. It's a toughy...
One option is to have both. Since I get up a lot earlier than necessary for my class, and the Indian place is open 24 hours, I could - in theory - have vindaloo for breakfast and lasagna for dinner... But the accountant is bound to check the dates on the receipts. 
What would you do?

Both! (if that's what you want to do) For me the lasagna sounds good...

Vindaloo Lasagne?

If you never tried it i would go for the Chicken Vindaloo, just for the experience.
Since i´ve eaten countless Lasagna in my life and you can get it nearly everywhere it would go with the chicken
Let us know how it was :P
Hmm i wonder why its doing that......ARGHS NO STOP, ROLLBACK ROLLBACK...F*** That's how i learned to "Always Backup"!!

Does he expect you to eat only once a day?

You should come to the UK.
Indian food was invented here (ie the sort of Indian Food you get in Restaurants) and is very softly priced.
For example a selection of popadoms, then a Chicken Tandoori starter, followed by a Tikka Masala with garlic mushroom rice, a garlic naan bread, a side of Bombay Potatoes (Should that be Mumbai Potatoes now?) served with a couple of beers, works out at about £20 per person (about $30 thereabouts).
There is a street in Luton that has 2 Chinese Restaurants, a Thai, an Italian, and 7 Indians.
The competition is fierce.
I could take you on a journey into spiciness that you have likely never encountered!

Sounds lovely! Alas, the vindaloo here is about $13 a plate, and it's a paper plate of small stature...

It will probably work OK if you have the required 4TB of memory.
The way web-apps are made these days, you really need to be able to read the specs before visiting a web-site.
With many of these web-apps, I'd prefer it if the web page linked to an installer, which allows you to make decisions on the elements of the app that you want to use.
E.g. if you don't want foreign apps to store your details and send them to foreign security services, you don't install that bit; and if you don't want advertising, you just uncheck the box that installs the advertising server -- finding out what an installed app is sending where is a relatively trivial task, but let's see someone try to find out what a web-page server is doing.
As it is, if you open a web-page, you are pretty much giving the owner of the site permission to do whatever the Hell he likes, particularly with your system resources.
Perhaps that's why apple doesn't like Flash -- Flash allows you to limit the resources allocated to it -- but it's certain that the huge move toward web-apps has been driven more by "What can we force onto users theough a back door?" than "Do no evil".
I'd love to see metrics of how much/many system resources would be consumed by installed versions v. web-app versions of programs, and how much of the bloated web-app cr@p people would put up with, if they had such options to not allow it into their computers.

It's good to remember that this whole world of computing, software, and the Interwebs wasn't built by big corporations, governments, advertising agencies, or other @rseholes trying to control or steal from everyone; it was built by people like us, who were trying to make something worthwhile -- and we succeeded!
Doing everything through browsers is akin to just handing it all over to the big corporations, governments, advertising agencies, and other @rseholes.
Brothers! We must uni... Ooh! Shiny things over there!
