I have a friend that I truly believe was guilty of a crime who was acquitted. After having witnessed his lawyer's representation, I think the lawyer believed the same. He did his job to the fullest regardless of his own beliefs.
Actually, A friend of mine was a marketing intern and turned to "slangin" as he called it. He made quite a bit of cash off the "nickle and dimers" by doing a little market analysis and identifying the non-public congregation points thereby raising his return on time and lowering his risk of being caught since most everyone there knew and could vouch for everyone else, then selling to them exclusively. He became known for delivering the desired goods in a far more timely fashion than could be acquired elsewhere and made those congregation points far more popular in the process. It was interesting to watch this occur. I observed for more than a year and rather enjoyed the constant female attention his customers lavished, you can probably see how that would work, the more you hang out with the supplier, the more deals you get.... In real life, he made a little over minimum wage, and oddly was my boss, then my employee.
Unless he invested that $300 in stocks, then he might be double screwed.

Critics say the box is empty, but it simply appears that way because we do not have the scientific instruments available to measure the esoteric energies therein. If you become attuned to these forces, you will know the truth.
(that was meant as sarcasm, but it is scary how much it sounds like I am drinking their flavor of kool-aid)
Like the gremlins under my desk, I believe strongly in the scientific method;)
Sounds like there might be some military applications after all.
I can see using this for a few things,
a full discharge at once to blind an opponent,
flash tanning machine- use microwaves for extra points,(instant popcorn anyone?)
portable painfield generator,
perhaps an application in a portable HERF or EMP gun to freeze or disable IEDs,
self contained tazer darts, no need for messy wires, and you can reload from a clip,
laserguns that charge the ultra-capacitors off a power pack,
The real age of fictional children should not count, not to mention that they are often depicted with adults giving obvious indicators of their inferred age.
That would be like saying, "I know the model was only 7 at the time of the picture, but she is 28 now!!"
Imaginary things are now real! Imaginary people now have all the rights of real people!
Sweet!!, This means I can SUE the pants off of Mortis, the undead rogue who kept camping my body on the "Emerald Dreams" WoW Server.
meant as humor, but it is only a matter of time...
Back to the main thread, I had the misfortune of seeing some of the "Simpsons porn" due to a roommate's fixation. It definately qualifies as child porn and incest as most of the subject matter involves depictions of children copulating with each other or their parents.
Not to mention, everyone knows Mickey Mouse is where the big moneys at...
The subject line actually refers to his English teacher, Miss Alice N. Wonderland-Quote.
She was an awful teacher, with many obscure allusions and inferences, calling us slithy toves and other nonsense, not to mention she was constantly getting MAWQed for her funny accent.
I met my wife at work, so there was no place for social proof. I was just my usual funny charming self.
As far as I can tell, it was not duping the chicks into thinking I was hot, since they could already see that;0), but rather allowing them to see I was already worth talking to and therefore not making me compete to qualify as hard. Also take into account I was out having a carefree fun time with other chicks. That leads to changes in your own confidence. Funny how changing how you see things about yourself can make such a big difference.
If the chicks stack the odds against you why should you not play by their own fuzzy logic? If you play WOW, you would not want to approach a Lvl 80 boss wearing greens and blues(like most of the guys out there), right? You would want a suit of Epic Purples!
On a minor note, I have had friends dupe or pay(bribe) chicks into being their wingman and it rarely works out well.
Perhaps I should clarify for that troll and of course for -You-, our illustrious reader.
Please substitute "before I met my wife" for the phrase "before I got married". With as well as I hit it off with her, I may as well have been married, and I voluntarily gave up the polyamorous lifestyle for her.
I hope that gives you a little more understanding into my personal life, AC.
Perhaps someone would like to elucidate why it is that the anonymous douchebags always focus on the irrelevant portions of conversation?
Partially due to our fast paced society(or perhaps amplified by it) people cannot take the time to learn about and judge things or people for themselves, so they use social indicators to determine worth.
For example, seeing a well dressed well groomed individual vs their unkempt shabbily dressed twin. People tend to assume much better things about the well dressed twin simply by manner of his appearance.
Another example, if you go out for drinks with an attractive coworker or friend of the opposite sex and the two of you are seen laughing and joking and having fun, your social value is increased in the eyes of the onlookers, they figure if this other person has taken the time to form a positive opinion of you, then you must have some desirable qualities, and they will be more receptive of your attention. This seems to be a mostly subconscious effect.
Before I got married, I used to have several hot chicks that I would go party with, knowing that being out with a hot chick made it easier to pick up other chicks.

Anyone care to cite references to support the view that the prime pick is stalwart?
I know the parent post is rather trollish, but it got a LOL out of me!

How Do I Manage Seasoned Programmers?
My favorite solution is to set them on fire and launch them out a window.
the trebuchet (http://www.trebuchet.com/)on the roof gains you extra points.
Launch the most vocal two and the rest fall in line quite quickly.
(funny how that works)
I LMAO till I read geekoid's comment then said, Thank FSM my wife plays WoW too and would probably enjoy this restaurant more then me.
Hmmm maybe too much more...
Time to reconsider that Single Family Income thing....
My job sucks. In a bad way.
Call it a hunch, but despite the apparent $250,000 salary for services at that retreat, the hooker's job sucks too.
Just goes to show that some shit follows you forever.

At this point, aren't they all SUVs?
Those that have the capacity to reach orbit that is.
Yeahhhh, thats a side effect of the virtualization kool-aide.
Tasty stuff, but the potentials always seem bigger than projected.
Even their manual and training for this subject feel light and fluffy compared to other offerings by them.
Next episode, why they have braille on drive-thru ATMs.
I'm sure it has to do with a goverment regulation that ALL ATMs have instructions in braille.
On a side note, I frequently walk up to the drive up ATM whent he regular one is busy.

This is probably the funniest in Russia style jokes I have seen here. Too bad you ACd it.

This would explain the Hitler mustachios on the BMWs and the elitist attitudes of the drivers
But are we not still talking Apples and lemons?

My friends and I call this "Social Proof"

People tend to be sheep.
you must be new here... he was making a reference to teh big scare about the bee population a year or two ago... but you wouldn't know that.
Actually, I would know about that, being an avid maker of meade(that is honey wine to the uninformed), my hobby requires the efforts of bees.
so kindly STFU
BTW, the bee population issue is an ongoing concern to apiarists, not a thing that passed a few years ago.
