My ex girlfriend had all manner of things thrown at her while cycling while living in Pittsburgh, PA. Fast food sodas were the weapon of choice. People threw them while traveling at 20-30 mph. 20+ ounces of liquid hurts at that speed.
Once, her brother had someone pull up next to him and aim a rifle at him through the passenger window. This was a pickup of course.
That's not to mention the times when people would pace along side and hurl the worst insults imaginable.
Yeah, but the developers are kinda douchey as it is. For one thing, try downloading an older release -- they delete them all.
This is especially annoying because they are so cavalier about dropping major features. They felt that supporting the PS3 was too hard so they removed PS3 support. Now divx support follows...
anything above 720P at distances greater than 10' is useless.
You cannot make that claim without mentioning screen size. I sit about 14ft away from a 150"+ screen and there is a world of difference between 720p and 1080p.
I don't want to pay for the roads in your city and I certainly don't want to pay to protect it. I could care less if the Belgians invade your little hamlet. I won't be happy until the republic is disbanded, followed by all of the states. Come to think of it, why the hell am I paying for trash pickup on the other side of town? Those East Shelbyvillers' are nothing but parasites!
Google's App Engine is so over-sold it can take 20 seconds for a page to load.
If you're app takes 20 seconds to deliver a page then it's your fault. My app consistently delivers dynamic, multi-hundred kilobyte pages in 1-2 seconds anywhere in the US. See for yourself! www.TwitGrids.com
If you code for App Engine like it's Rails or Django your app will be a dog.
TV panders to women because TV is all about selling advertising. Advertising is all about selling crap. Who does the day to day shopping? Unless you're a single guy it's probably a woman. For most goods, advertisers value the eyeballs of women far more than those of men. This is why nearly every TV program that isn't a guy's show (sports/fishing/woodworking/etc) must be palatable to women. If women won't like it it's not on TV.
the occasion you seem to be referring to is NOT bleeding as you know it at all, it's a monthly cycle of cleaning and renewal. And although it is painful, and ugly, a lot of women still see the menstrual cycle as the gift it is - the ability to create a miracle.
Actually, constant menstruation is the price of concealed ovulation. In most species the fertile time is evident, sometimes even advertised. The trouble with that (from a female's point of view) is that the males only give you stuff (resources, attention, protection, etc.) when you're fertile.
Human women have figured out a way to keep the freebies coming 24/7/365. Their bodies do not advertise fertility. In fact they do their best to cover it up. This keeps the males guessing. They are forced to be nice to human women all the time because she could be fertile right now or two weeks from now. The male needs to be in the female's good graces at all times so he gets regular sex and thus a chance to hit the window of maximal fertility.
This gives a woman the ability to sneak off for some infidelity during her maximally fertile time to land the genes she desires for her offspring, while spending the bulk of her time (her least fertile time) with one stable male to get the resources she desires. This is a very powerful tool. It is so common that there is a term for it non-paternity event. The numbers are shockingly high for some groups.
So really menstruation is the price of being a sneaky whore.
That's what I've always loved about Opera; UI responsivess and the smoothness of browsing (scrolling, mouse gestures) beats every other browser
Sorry but Chrome murders Opera on UI responsiveness, smoothness of browsing, and speed in general. I dumped Opera months ago because it feels laggy next to Chrome. I dearly miss mouse gestures but I expect that Chrome will get them eventually.
Drug addicted dancers are not the norm in my town. Many girls actually are working to pay tuition. We have a large state school (50,000 undergrads) and a number of small to mid-sized private colleges.
I've known a bunch of #3's. I met them socially at parties and regular bars not "in the club." They were in every way regular college girls. Yea, some of them "smoked" and most drank but no more than usual for college kids. Drug use was much higher among the jobless rich kids I went to college with at Carnegie Mellon.
I've known a few #4's as well. The #4's tend to like to keep their jobs a secret until you're past the acquaintance stage lest they be judged prematurely for their choice of work. One #4 worked in a town 100 miles away so she could live her life free of the stripper stigma. I knew her for over a year before I found out what she did for a living. She was not only drug free, she barely drank despite hanging out the the local goth/industrial club every weekend.
Wrong! Paypal is only a bank for European customers. Here's an exact quote from the article you linked to "PayPal is not regulated as a bank in the U.S."
I've been using the open source ATI drivers on an RV635 for many months. They're awesome. Zero stability issues. They're 2d only right now but 3d support will be released around March.
My uncle Fernando told me when I was younger, "Intelligence in a woman is overrated."
A highly intelligent female coworker (developer) said the exact same thing when she was giving me dating advice. She went on to say that "Once you're married and have kids it's all about diapers and domestic crap anyway."
I couldn't believe that she would say such a thing (at work!) let alone believe it. I was in my early twenties at the time. She was in her mid-late thirties. I'm now a few years older and see that she was right for so many reasons.
My public high school was teaching fractions and decimals in the 11th and 12th grade. The majority of kids never saw algebra in high school.
Those in the "college track" saw only rudimentary algebra before graduation.
The "advanced track" had algebra in the 8th and 9th grades. Geometry was offered in the 10th grade, and in the 11th grade there was trig. Seniors were offered "pre-caclulus" which I would describe as trig deja vu.
When I was in university, all of the public colleges and universities in the area offered introductory math courses in "pre-algebra" which I would describe as fractions and decimals. The overwhelming majority of all freshmen ended up taking them. Only the kids majoring in math, science, or engineering had with calculus or other advanced math their freshman year.
I used to help friends from high school with their college "pre-algebra" coursework. One of these girls was also taking a college science course that seemed to be at the elementary school level. Topics included magnetism, the water cycle, glaciers, and other extremely basic natural science stuff. The cousework consisted of memorizing vocabulary words and basic definitions.
Why is it that American women (you can tell she's American from the corn syrup bit) find it so difficult to stay slim? Every time I'm in Europe I marvel at the huge number of slim women in their 30's and 40's. Try to find a 40 year old American woman with a decent body. Depending on where you're looking they're one in a thousand or worse! Things are better in Manhattan and far worse in Appalachia.
BTW, finding seriously overweight women repulsive is not a "cultural fetish." Five or ten pounds is fine and still attractive. However, a huge fraction of American women carry around 20+ pounds of excess fat. That's in no way healthy or "normal". It may be common in the US but it is certainly not a woman's (or man's!) natural state.
Karmic's built-in xorg Radeon drivers are awesome. I've been running them on an R635 for months. The 2d acceleration is fast and video support is tear free. 1080p is no sweat. No 3d yet but check back around March...
I recently migrated 1.5TB of large files from ext3 to ext4 on karmic. There was no corruption. All files verified by md5sum. Important files additionally verified with a diff.
I've just migrated approximately 1.5TB of "large files" from ext3 to ext4 on karmic. Every single file was verified by md5sum. Critical files were additionally verified with a diff.

The same goes for attractiveness (of the 'objective' variety, I mean) - hopelessly overrated in a partner.
...a statement that a good looking person would never say and an ugly person wishes were true!
In my city, mostly all women around 30 years old are overweight. 1 in 20 sounds about right.

There's two sides to every story. Watch this piece of reporting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PbFeIxrilI -- Don't you start feeling for that guy?
Nope.
Don't you hope he gets rescued?
Nope.
Maybe we should take pride in such naivety, instead of branding it as utter idiocy.
How in the hell is naivety a positive characteristic for an adult man? Reality is harsh. Leave the naivety to women and children.
