I was single (no wife or girlfriend) for more than 20 years, and wasn't miserable. It is true, that the years that I've been married are even better, but if you're miserable just because you're single, I pity you.
I couldn't agree with you more. I think that it is very important to be comfortable with yourself, on your own, before getting into a serious relationship. I've noticed that certain people end up with an identity crises, because they come out of relationships, jump into new ones immediately, and then finally get dumped and are single for a long while. They're so used to basing who they are on someone else, or some attachment, that they lose sight of who they are themselves.
Some my disagree, that's fine. I'm in favor of more individuality. I think you have more to offer, when you can be comfortable in your own skin.
Niche, in that the platform itself is niche. There may be so many PSPs out there, but the actual usefulness of the UMD makes it niche. If I head over to Target/Walmart/etc, and look in the A/V department, how many inexpensive UMD players am I going to see? Odds are, I'll just find the PSP.
Now, the regular old DVD has a plethora of cheap players. It also has a gigantic library of content available. UMD is a solution to a nonexistant problem. You can get a portable DVD player for around $60-80 USD. You can also get two DVDs for the price of one UMD.
So, yes, the PSP and UMD is niche. The expense of the PSP, the UMD, and player for home makes it that way. It makes no economical sense to ship movies on that format.
Not quite. There is evidence of an innate psychological block against causing harm like that to fellow humans. Few men in the civil war actually took aim when they were firing their weapons, rather, they would just point them in the general direction, and pull the trigger. They might have actually looked away while doing it.
This block has caused problems before, and is only "trained" out of the person by allowing them to become accustomed to firing at humanoid shaped targets. I believe that video games can provide just as much of a mental stimulation as the actual act of holding the weapon, in this regard. The block against firing at another human is gnawed away, and eventually, no longer exists.
Does this excuse him? No. He is fully responsible for all of his actions, and blaming a video game for suggesting or inspiring him seems too cogent for a truly crazy man. I have no idea why he would want to go ahead and do such a thing in the first place; it all had to come from him.
I do want to see this guy fry. I'm not quite a firm believer in the undeniable "right to live" that everyone has. I figure, if you are going to deny someone else's right to live, then you forfeit your own right. There really is no place in this world for someone of his nature, nor do I want to end up supporting his existence in some prison somewhere.
As for GTA... is this game a culprit? It is, only as much as any other shooter game where you fire upon human-looking entities. God knows there are plenty of those around, and have been throughout the history of video games. Games don't cause you to lose your self control, only you have that power.
Since your partner doesn't have as much experience, let them be on top for the first few times...
Oh. Wait.
When I first started coding, in a serious manner, I had a guy work with me on a few projects. What would end up happening is that he'd do the main design, the control classes, and the manipulation of the data structures. I got to do the more tedious details, where a mistake wasn't the end of the world... since it wasn't too involved in the actual logic of the program.
In the end, we came out alright, because my less experienced self did the majority of the harsh time-consuming things (in my case, it was the formatting of the data output), while he did the more "interesting" things, but the more experience necessary things too. What he wrote leveraged what I wrote, and glued it all together.
Seriously. The PSP is niche at best, and the media price isn't all that cheap, I imagine. Add in the fact that the UMD flicks were rather pricey at retail, and you get a flop.
I'm surprised that the studios actually did release movies on UMD. I'd have waited to see how that whole PSP market panned out first.
So, one needs a PhD in a language, in order to properly read it. I must be illiterate.
There are plenty of Iraqi, Israeli, and other nationalities that have exposure to that language living in the US. It is well within the realm of possibility that one of the Iraqi resteraunt owners has web access, an interest in the whole thing, and is very able to read those documents.
Gotta love the mods around here. I've seen IIS errors coming from Gmail.com before. Then again, Netcraft doesn't say anything towards one end or the other.
Why is this insightful? A university is a school, just like every other school. It is the teacher's responsibility that their students learn well. This may be counter to what the student believes is the best way of "learning." It is the teacher's right, by experience and position, to maintain that they know best.
Naturally, if the student insists, it is also the teacher's right to remove the student from the classroom.
Sure. You pay good money to be taught. You are expected to be responsible. Part of that responsibility is being as good a student as possible, and making it easy for the instructor to instruct.
"If we continue without laptops, I'm out of here. I'm gone; I won't be able to keep up," said student Cory Winsett, who said his hand-written notes are incomplete and less organized.
Does this scare anyone else? This is law school that we are talking about. All of the basics should have been met by now. If you're incompetent without a laptop, then I don't want you to be my lawyer!
I'd say something along the lines of "you nominated him, we appointed him. He's not going away, and you still have to listen to us. If you don't like it, tough shit."
I dislike how some companies feel like they have a right to bend the rules and laws, just because they get caught doing something illegal. Instead of admission of guilt and a promise to do better, they say it isn't fair. Last time I checked, a slap on the wrist by a certain administration wasn't exactly "fair," either.
Hm. I'm pretty sure that Gmail is based off of ASP.NET. Windows Live Mail also is, and both work fairly well. I wouldn't call those "unprofessional," either.
Google isn't paying ISPs to block all other search engines, is it? That is the equivalent of what MS was doing, which is illegal. MS has a natural monopoly, but they abused it, and they continue to abuse it, and they have no intention of stopping. This is why they are evil.
If it were about property, then why bother with all the dating bullcrap to begin with? Seriously. You have to go through a courtship, where the kids take the responsibility, and then for some reason or another, you decide to get married. The family has little do with it anymore, and property definitely doesn't become a factor until AFTER you're married.
The state may not care if you love the one you marry. The state never used to, either. I imagine that the majority of marriages in the past have been the arrangement of the family. Think Jacob & his two wives. He didn't get the one he wanted to at first, but kept at it until he had both of them.
The idea that marriage is the "next level" of a relationship is relatively new. I think this idea is the main cause of divorce, in general. People get worked into a frenzy when they get into a relationship, and then think that marriage is one more step towards euphoria or whatever. It's bunk, though, because the relationships generally are not established by the time marriage sets in. It's pulling the cart before the horses... and one of the reasons why divorce is so prevelant in this day and age.
Is that love, or is it in the set of {infatuation, lust, romance, horniness, desire}? I don't think that the love required for a good marriage is the emotional state of love. There comes a time where it is a dependence upon another person. When you take it for granted, you don't see it, when it leaves, it hits you like a MAC truck.
These people who got married thought they met their lifetime partner, just like you. You just got lucky.
Be honest here. Just how many marriages are done in Las Vegas, in a drunken stupor? It seems like marriage has become more of a spur of the moment thing, and less important than what it really is. People will just get married because they have excessive amounts of PEA, and don't quite understand that the feelings of extreme romance fade quickly. Prenups ought to be necessary in this case.
The marriages that happen because people are in a long lasting relationship, are responsible and truly in love, I imagine those marriages make up the "less than 50%" that are actually successful. No prenups need apply. If you think it is foolish, so be it. I think it is a sign of distrust to require one, and when actual love applies, there is no such thing as distrust.
Not to mention that.NET apps seem to run just as fast as C apps. It isn't Java 5 that we're talking about here. Every subsequent execution of the.NET app will run faster, and in some cases, may even beat out the C/Win32 apps.

I like... no matter who loses, they lost to a retard.
Or, Bubbette, the overweight 45 year old woman with frizzie hair and a chain-smoking habit.
