there are lots of mirrors on the moon... could you bounce some lasers off them to and from other places to communicate... (yeh hitting in the first place is probably hard enough was it is without having to setup receivers etc... and hit them too)
It depends where you live... keeping a mistress isn't (or wasn't) too uncommon in France. inheritance rules and privilege can be different for concubines (or has been throughout history).. I think traditionally (from roman Greek times) it's a young male slave for fertility.
1+++ wifes under Muslim rules seem to fit the would be spinster idea of multiple wifes.
see I'm quite in control of my emotions, and I generally work of/with other peoples desires... often it's very hard to find that dynamic in someone else... but I don't really care what sex they are or what they look like I'm more a personality person and I tend to find a lot of other people are like that or just go for things that look nice (their vocabulary is usually pretty limited though!)
I've known some of the people they shagged. I think most people are too scared to be bi-sexual and have orgies, well now a-days anyhow. I'd say they where often bi-curious or more didn't give a toss/up for anything once.
Sex ain't love and love ain't marriage... I don't think I could live with a man (or they couldn't live with me and I couldn't live with that), but I'd probably like it up the Arse and my Mrs won't use a strap on though I have other female friends who would.
as they say, it ain't what you do it's the way that you do it.
If I wanted to cum I'd get some porno or some friends with loose fitting cloths round or use my imagination, buy a dildo and have a wank. I don't usually find men who are in touch with their emotions enough and not competitive and can hold a good conversation and put makeup on and paint my toenails and able to moderate their sex drive.
"Well, the camera is certainly faster and better integrated than on the iPhone (or most Android devices). Dedicated camera button means you can take pictures quickly without having to go through all you have to on iOS to get to the point where you're ready to take a pic."
My symbain phones do this and I could get my HTC wildfire to do it... just did. (could use voice or other things too I expect... no shake with voice)
and I have a more camera like camera if I want to do real camera like stuff.
Standard FM tuner that isn't present on other devices.
Got one on my wildfire and my Mrs has on her symbian.
The Zune Pass for all-you-can-eat Music is pretty killer, actually... it's one of the better music and video phones out there.
their are other free services... and some of them even have free music... but I can stream from home too.
XBox Live integration is something you can't get anywhere else.
won't own one.
Still, you won't find Word and Excel on other phones.
well I get other things... and may be able to run wine / crossover on android... maybe not.
Yep... The other problem may be down to advertising and fitness for purpose. I'm not sure how hate or discrimination laws work in the USA given the whole slavery thing.
So the problem are: 1: it's presumably commercial or would have that appearance 2: May make false claims 3: May discriminate against someones natural being. 4: Apple already discriminates agaist lush wet pussy and arse banging pics or what have you and lots of other stuff... if their gona be picky... well they should be.
I have no problem with fag bashers being allowed to say that poofs will all die from AIDS and have to wear but plugs for the rest of their life. Or even that according to their fictitious God they will burn in hell when they die.
I do have a problem when I can look at wet pussy being thumped by a 12 inch dildo whilst the bitch is hanging from barb wire ripping her clit apart.
I've had a gender identity complex for years.. I've always described myself as well never fancying a bloke (I could fuck one good, I just couldn't live with one... which sounds a bit like most of the Lesbians I've hung around with), all my close friends have always been female though I do have the odd male friend.
sometimes it's a 'wrong bits' or 'I don't have one of those I wouldn't know what to do with it' thing.... but those things could turn into fetishes.
I think sexuality is more malleable than you'd think... well within a reasonable sized group of people.
umm.... The Gay men I know have shagged more straight men than Gay men... Same goes for Gay women. I did think about shagging my mate once, he looked like he needed a good shag, but we'll he ain't Gay so I'm not the man for the Job.
Funny enough... not all Women turn me on, and I don't think that all straight women in the street want to rape me.
I usually go for personality and trust over everything else in a partner... sex for fun.. looks to impress others. Blokes personalities just generally don't gel to well with me.
" It's a fact, and at the age of 28 I do quite think I know myself well enough to know that it's not just something anyone can change."
I know people who didn't swing the other way until way into their 40s... you'd be surprised sexuality can change, though usually in the direction of bi-sexual and finding it unbearable to live with the other sex.
The 'my friends '..... bit, I don't tend to keep friends who make assumptions about other people like you do.. I think they call that theory of mind... it's a well known medical condition.
my point is that it's still Magic to most people and they will use the Magic thing to do what they want to do and that I don't assume anything, but you do.
Well.... it's more like watching the TV is the internet now adays, or talking to friends is the internet now adays.... but your still going to have your geek hackers. The internet has replaced or augmented lots of things, the only real thing that has changed (apart from a little in the way of easily getting noticed) is that a broader spectrum of people use it..... I think the internet still holds that magic it used to hold, just as computers still hold that kind of magical voodoo science stuff... less people are taking science afterall.
I thought it was better to give some examples that related to your point and let you work it out yourself and then ask any questions so as to fill in the gaps between what you where saying / thinking and what I meant. Creating a more two sided didactic argument over a debate of consensus and who has the prettier english.
well, it's nice to see more than one side to an argument or more than one way of doing stuff if you want to write good software.
Now let's say 1/4 of the people who pay for books (at some point) may also buy one at.99c to see if the author is any good and worth paying for,
And they find that his stuff is as good as or better than, or even just a bit of a different angle to the stuff they usually buy.
Next time they may buy his book instead... and then it adds more to the word of mouth... And that build over time and may in the long run generate much more income than going a classical publication route.
I've certainly had benefits from work from doing stuff for free and giving it away that I don't think I would have had otherwise.
"and I’m very grateful, but I know total royalties would probably have been higher had I gone through the traditional route of working with a mainstream publisher"
He has no basis for comparison... He'd need to publish the same book at the same time without the giving away to know if or if not the royalties would have been greater. In addition what would be the outcome for later books, given he would now have some kind of reputation as an author.

it is a bit crazy... best just not get married in the first place or have some kind of more sensible arrangement like a concubine.

windows never really came with much.. it was like a none thing that you use to run other things, that just need this none thing to work.

a gay man against freedom.
well that depends, some are more like QC, testers and bug fixers.. maybe snipping a few broken features or getting the performance and UI correct.
Others are like FOX.

I'd say it's not Gay until you adopt.

I'm a homosexual sadist and downloaded this app straight (no pun intended) away.
Fuck those poof NAZIS, fuck them till their ring bleeds... ooooohhhhh yeh boy... fuck em, fuck em gooooooood....
Tissue anyone?

I don't know... but have they filtered out Mr Self Destruct by Nine Inch Nails or are they playing it over the Tannoy?
i am the lover in your bed and i control you
i am the sex that you provide and i control you
Well if it cures you of being Gay.. I don't think Apple will have many ....blank.....s left in the marketplace.

well sell the electronic version cheap and the one you can stick on a shelf at a higher price and only in hard back.

ahh..... well hopefully you got the TV link, and the 'my friend' ergo not me and a sample size of one.
