Someone mod this guy up. +50 Insightful.
I have owned a few cars that could be considered cool. I have owned 2 bikes that would be considered classics by many people. Have the cars or the bikes ever gotten me laid? Hell no!!!
That said, the OP also mentions getting some nice clothes. That does help.
So basic transportation, it is hard to date on public transport, and some nice clothes. Or at least clean clothes that fit properly.
Lastly, would you really want to be with a person who is into you because of something you own? Be it a car, a super bike, $700 computer case, comic book collection, or the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota?
Damn, I thought I invented this idea.
Previous job, any time I saw an unlocked company computer, I would open email and write an "I quit" email to the boss. Then leave it on the screen and lock the computer. Just in case it somehow got sent, I ended every email with "I really should lock my computer when I walk away."
For the record I am aware that BOB ran on top of Windows, which ran on top of DOS, but then WinME runs on top of DOS it is just that DOS is more hidden in WinME.
Unless said "TV celebrity" slept with me last night, I don't give a shit who they did sleep with.
This is an attitude that needs to be cultivated. IMHO
I never thought I would buy a low powered, limited usefulness netbook. But with prices having fallen under $300, this makes these devices quite appealing as a second/third computer, or just as a plaything.
I ordered mine on Saturday.
My Safeway card thinks I am a 97 year old Transsexual hooker. At lease that is to character I created when I was filling out the demographic portion of the application.
I believe you were aiming for:
It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'."
Well said Trillian.
To anyone reading this with WTF thoughts. I have known several TG women, and one TG man. If you can work around your own prejudices and accept that a TG woman is a woman, and a TG man is a man. You may be lucky enough to get to know some incredible people. I know I did.

You sound like someone with something to hide...
Is that a black helicopter behind you?
My last GF and I had an agreement it went something like this:
Her clothes == My computer stuff
Her shoes == My tools
It worked quite well until she decided she needed the child add on... I still think it is much too expensive.
Sadly, there is no such thing as a cult "so stupid nobody would ever join".

Microsoft products suck so bad that even their CEO has to admit it.
How much longer until we see MicroSoft Linux 1.0?
Plaid is USB 6.0
And of course USB 5.0 will be called LudicrousSpeed.
The exact same idiots that are against sex education/condom education in schools.
You say "just fucking nameless strangers" like it is a bad thing. :)
I need a shower after reading that...
I don't think I will ever truly be clean again.
Elitist!
vi FTW!
BOB... Enough said.
For you youngsters: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Bob
For the record I am aware that BOB ran on top of Windows, which ran on top of DOS, but then WinME runs on top of DOS it is just that DOS is more hidden in WinME.
IIRC, newspapers are censored for jurors.
Exactly:
Linux makes a fantastic server.
OSX makes a fantastic desktop.
Windows... Hmmmmm... Give me a second... Well, you can play games.
For the record I have used Linux as my desktop, and it was fantastic.

I know that prayer.
The second most common version: "Oh, God, please don't let her have the clap. Amen."

As it happens I have been running Win7 since shortly after RC1 came out, and I stand by my opinion that it is an abomination.
There is a special place in Hell for people that put that abomination on good computers.

I RTFA and nowhere in it did it say anything about Apple including IE with Snow Leopard.
