Besides, a healthy view of the world, clever sense of humour and the ability to actually discuss all things maturely is a lot more attractive than a penis of any size or quality.
I'm sad more girls don't share this point of view.
Such a thought-terminating position to take, anthropomorphizing nature, to caution others not to venture where it isn't safe. Completely disregards the very idea that we do need to find an equilibrium, and that one may actually exist. Who will be looking if we spend our time cowering because nature is a god with a temper?
So the problem with the small breasts ban? Most girls who end up with huge knockers usually have decent sized ones well before 18. And the flat chested ones? They're probably not going to increase much between the ages of 17 years, 364 days and 18.
Ageism at its best. Puberty in women is usually between ages 15 and 17. There's not much happening at the age of 18.
Spot on- I played fallout 3 for a few hours and then finally just lost interest. Not because the game looked horrible or boring, but that the story line and open world meant this was going to be a real time dedication before I actually got hooked. Whereas other games that pull you in immediately end up taking my focus for weeks at a time. I became addicted to a silly little physics game called fantastic contraption online because the gameplay pulled me in instantly... but with my busy life I don't have the time to wait around until a game catches my fansy..
I think Outlook 2007 has been the best edition so far overall (haven't used 2010) yet they still struggle to avoid going gold without the most fundamental usability issues.
So true- it wasn't till the second service pack for outlook that it became even usable. I remember syncing mail would take a god 5 minutes (whereas it was a 10 second ordeal on outlook express), and when I was syncing mail my entire computer would slow to a crawl. I almost ditched outlook altoghether, but I figured, last ditch effort, get a few updates... and sure enough it's not deathly slow anymore.
How something managed to escape their offices with such horrible usability issues is just a wonder to me...
Interesting tip, I tried it out, it's worthless. I have, apparently, over the past 10 years, had multiple emails with different people with the subject "Hey" and apparently that's one conversation. wtf??
I much prefer the smart grouping of GMAIL, and I'm curious how much better 2010's conversation grouping really is..(I'm running 2007)
Which is probably why the game was so short- I can't imagine having come up with the number of levels he did.. but man I was sad when I finished the game.
More Braid! More Braid!
For anybody who has not played this game - it's worth trying- there's a free demo on steam.
Well I think using this death threat as an excuse to demonstrate the streisand effect is a little better than making the death threat in the first place.. but you're right, people who back southpark might take it too far...
I agree with the publicity stunt. I mean, it was kinda obvious-
#1. They use the same censorship bar for Tom Cruise when he get's Mohamad's "goo". Clearly the censorship bar was a plot device
#2. One of the enemies was Barbra Streisand, clearly making a reference to the Streisand effect. I think their goal was to get more attention on Mohamad with censorship.
I don't think it was only for their own publicity- I think it was for irony.
That means, if I could watch it on my xbox 360 (either official support, or they stop playing cat and mouse with playon.) and put support for hulu on the roku.
Ever since the last update, playon has had to do a screen capture instead of decrypting the original stream. That gets far less performance and kills my server.
Also I have to point out that the article mistakenly compares paying $10 for hulu (on demand) vs just watching it on "tv for free". I wonder if the author of the article still lives in his mom's basement.
Yeah, I have these thought-conversations with myself. Then I get really mad that after I die I won't be me any more. I'll be missing out on all the cool stuff that happens. I know- I won't notice since I'll be dead.. but come on!
Yeah, I was just thinking that. I'm not poor- but I'm not rich either. I make enough to not qualify for any of these poor-programs, but I'll be damed if I've got an extra $4K lying around. Or, hell, just $1k. I mean, seriously, their solution to me not affording healthcare is to force me to pay for it? I just don't see how that works. I didn't have enough room in my budget then, and I certainly don't now.
I've seen this too in america- usually the difference is that the poor people paid more for the same things I have because they financed it at 45% at some no-credit check rent depot.
Yeah, that looks more like it. This is why I don't have insurance. $100/ month extra is a stretch for me. Why would I ever have $10,000 I could spare as a deductable?? Anybody paying $600/year is clearly not getting insurance.
Imagine a child of the age 10 playing with a polaroid camera, and takes a picture of his/her naughty bits. The picture makes it way to the bottom of a closet somewhere and is never seen again, until the child grows up and is 18, and thus legal.
At the young age of 10 I was very aware of sex, although didn't fully understand it at the time, I knew it existed and was very curious.
Now imagine that same person deciding to release those photos... After the age of consent.. A victim-less crime perhaps? Or VERY BAD?
What about nude photos of children.. that are kept in a box until the children turn 18 and then those now-adults decide to release the photos? My heads asplode
The problem isn't the principles, it's the fact that most people adopt principles from what they've learned from society, and never take it upon themselves to analyze the reason for their principles. They never ask themselves if it actually makes sense according to their current belief system. My theory is that once you start asking "why?" it's a short road to existential crisis. Most people avoided philosophy class (or didn't pay attention) because it rocked the boat a bit much..

You can't claim us, we live here! 500 million of us!
Do you have a flag?
Back in the good old days, we had ascii 004- which gave us a nice little diamond symbol. What happened to that?
If I had my way, real life symbols would resemble the symbols in games- like gem shapes.

Well said, couldn't agree more.

I scored 33, and don't feel bad at all.

You've really summed up my feelings on this

MLB has blackouts on live games though- can't watch your home team- home or away.
I'd pay for it - if they stopped being dicks.

LOL, so true. If microsoft took the name it'd be Google.net Bing by Microsoft.
I'm a big fan of PlayOn + Xbox 360

Perfect defense. My firefox prefetch downloaded every picture on this forum already, your honor..
What? Not good enough? Oh also I'm a school teacher. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be on my way.
