If a device has antennae wrapped around the outside of it, and its signal strength gets screwed up when you bridge the two...why would it matter which network the phone was on?
:-) It's all right, I'll usually try to post +5 insightful or informative posts for a few days, then just act like a dick for a day or two. It's fun:-) I still have yet to dip below "Excellent" Karma since I first hit it though, so::shrug:: I must be doing something right.
Working out a lot" by definition means you spent considerable time doing a sporting/physical activity, rather than spending all of your time at academics/computers/etc.
On the contrary...most of my working out was spliced with gaming. Loading screens, traveling during MMOs, etc. Instead of just sitting there, I'd pick up a weight. Or, if I was doing some serious weight training that day (three times a week), I still only worked out for 30 minutes or so. Nearly every second I didn't spend exercising was spent playing games, reading comics, doing brain teasers, taking things apart to figure out how they worked, etc...I assure you, I was quite nerdy:-)
You might as well have said "they key to not getting beaten up is NOT be a nerd" - ie. have some outside interest beyond typical "nerd" activities.
I always scheduled physical activity around nerd activities, not the other way around:-)
It should be noted that this only works if you are just looking to get laid. Obviously, if you are looking for an actual "companion", my advice won't work.
Keeping that and the fact that I never got in a fight in mind, I may have been a dorkus malorkus in high school...but I still got my fair share of the ladies:-)
To any high schoolers reading this who want tips on how to be more popular with girls: give them three times the attention they give you, in all areas. You'll be in like Flynn.
In our school, the jocks were actually really cool people (as evidenced by the fact that a short dork who was as strong or stronger than them was still allowed to work out in the same weightroom at the same time). The people that did most of the bullying were the true outsiders...the "cool" rejects didn't want them because they were assholes, and the popular kids didn't want them because they weren't popular.
My buddy Mike used a similar tactic. 6 foot by the time he hit 9th grade, had horrible acne (ironically, he now has model-like good looks)...basically, a punching bag for a lot of people. He got tired of it one day, and as a kid was pointing and laughing at him, he grabbed the kid's finger, bent it back (obviously breaking it), then hit the kid in his face with his own hand, breaking his nose.
People left him alone after that.
It's just like prison...either you mess someone up, or you become a bitch. The choice is yours.
I have to admit, it was great to know that I could walk around the halls nerd-snorting about something with impunity. Since I hung out with both the "popular" nerds as well as the "reject" nerds, many of them were protected simply by proximity, which they appreciated.
I found the whole thing to be amusing, personally.
I remember getting into one of those kinds of arguments in kindergarden, and my response was "my dad would turn your dad inside-out!"...which grossed out both of us, lol:)
Work out. A lot. Throughout middle school and high school, I was a huge geek (and dressed like one)...but I was also huge. In high school, at only 5'6", I weighed around 200 pounds, and could lift what the varsity football team lifted in the weightroom (and, in some cases, even more.)
I was a dork, but no one dared fuck with me. A good thing, too...I had no idea how to fight:p
Wait wait wait...a company is quelling discussion about how their product has an easily demonstrated hardware issue, and you see nothing wrong with that?
That's...that's a bit unsettling, Shivetya. I recognize that it's their site and that it's up to them, based on their forum guidelines, to control certain messages...but come on. You can't possibly think this is a defensible act.
Make ANY tablet able to function as a Wacom or Cintiq, including the pressure sensitivity. You will lock in the Internet Comic business almost instantly.
There are other things required in order to be a true mainstream hit (which the iPad is, admittedly, fairly close to fulfilling), but creating a niche product that has been requested by pretty much everyone in the industry would certainly be a smart move.
Guess what. Iraq has been won. Why? Because the people of Iraq themselves decided Al-Qaida were the bad guys, and started helping the US. The same is true for Afghanistan.
So if we've won, why the fuck are we still sending billions of dollars over there? Why are people still being killed on a daily basis?
However, the remnants of the Taliban have been able to establish a new base of operations in the borderlands of Pakistan, and are recruiting new members from the local population there.
If the Taliban were our enemy, and they are still fighting, then the war isn't over numbnuts.
If you have somehow convinced yourself that the wars have been won when we're still throwing money and blood on the ground in both countries, then you and I have nothing else to talk about.
Oh, so now I'm only allowed to express my opinion when I vote for one puppet or the other?Fuckin' hell I'm glad you aren't in charge of things over here. Seriously.
You want my true, honest, complete opinion? Because you aren't going to like it.
I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
A ground war in these territories is clearly impossible to win. Unless we wipe out every last al-qaeda and Taliban member in the area, then we will never be able to leave. Destroying the whole place is the only 100% surefire option. We need to either ignore what's going on over there, stop playing policeman, and figure out a way to make this whole thing work...or we need to nuke the entire middle east.
Like I said, you wouldn't like my answer, but there it is all the same.
Woopdeedoo. Why go there over somewhere like Burma, or Sudan, or any other dozens of other places on the globe who are under just as much terror, if not more? Why the Middle East, where our very presence increases the risk on our own soil?
So, if you are trying to convince me this was a noble cause because of the reduction in civilian death, why choose the middle east over other parts of the world?
The attack came in the wake of the intervention of a Multinational Force, made up of Western countries, including the US, in the Lebanese Civil War, to try and restore order and central government authority.

From your link:
These letters made three demands: an end to all US aid to Israel, an end to US diplomatic relations with Israel, and a demand for a pledge by the United States to end interference "with any of the Middle East countries' interior affairs." He stated that the attack on the World Trade Center would be merely the first of such attacks if his demands were not met. In his letters Yousef admitted that the World Trade Center bombing was an act of terrorism, but that this was justified because "the terrorism that Israel practices (which America supports) must be faced with a similar one."
See a pattern forming here? Not defending their actions, I'm just saying they never attacked us just for the hell of it...agree with their reasons or not, they believe they had sufficient reasons to carry these attacks out.

I'm fine with the -1 offtopic...but no one has gotten the reference? Sad Panda :*(

So I should be a good little citizen, fall in line with our government, and back them 100% regardless of whether I agree with it or not?
Thanks for the tip, Commissar.

You think all that's going on is the US military bombing homes?
What I think is going on is irrelevant...our enemies think all we're doing is bombing homes, which certainly doesn't help lower their bloodlust.
