My dad never took me to any sporting events growing up, nor did he ever play sports with me, nor encourage me into sports. Somehow, this is about the gayest non-gay thing you can do to a boy. Yet I turned out "normal" anyway (per your definition). Not athletic, nor interested in sports... but sure loves me some vagina.
I don't think having gay foster parents would have any influence on whether a foster kid is gay or not. In fact, due to the rejection of parental norms phase in the teens, the kid is most likely going to be pushed the OPPOSITE way.
and that animals aren't able to consent to sex with humans at all
Welll.... There WAS this one Internet video I saw passed around... with a male donkey and this very large human woman bent over... and it sure looked like the donkey was just consenting away, and could get away at any time...
Set up a file share called "PRIVATE", give it (whoops) too few permission restrictions ("guests" can read) or a honeypot-esque weak login/password, let slip to a few people (in private) that you have "a few movies" in there, then put in some semi-sensitive work in there for good measure. Story: You needed a way to share your work files from home to work, but you didn't realize that you had allowed "Everyone" in.
What could they accuse you of? "Leaving your door unlocked accidentally", essentially? I'd love to see the lawyers have a field day with that one.
and also why I get into fights with certain kinds of women. (hopefully that's not a Troll Alert... I'll try to be intelligent about this.)
Sex, ah, our society's favorite, misunderstood topic. I will venture to say that the things that drive sex AND seduction and make it hot seem to be... where you are "getting what you're not supposed to normally be getting or what you feel like you wouldn't have been able to get, but did." It's an achievement, in other words. Which fuels passion, which fuels (hopefully) genuine love.
I just feel like the mechanism of seduction is the same all around, whether disparate ages or different sexes (or not), because if the person wasn't receptive to the seduction in the first place, then it wouldn't work. So you (typically) take this slightly immature man (like I myself am- I matured quite late physically/emotionally/sexually) and this woman who (even for her age) happened to mature early, and all of a sudden you have something illegal, even if these two genuinely love each other. The thing is, there are two kinds of seduction. There's predatory a.k.a. serial seduction, and seduction "for keeps". If the latter, and there is love, who cares? who can judge honestly?
Anything done out of love cannot be that wrong. (If on the other hand they were both like "We just wanted some amazing fucking and that's it"... well, then, that lass is undoubtedly quite a handful... and the laws again fail to apply properly)
So basically, to hide the fact that you are the canary, run the document through a very similar process. Would enough leftover original changes make a statistical difference?
hahahaha "That's Incredible", with Jon Davidson and whoever else... one of my earliest TV memories, from the late 70's to about '82;) That show also had spooky footage (and first-person accounts) of ghosts and UFO's and whatnot, at times (sort of an earlier "Unsolved Mysteries"), which spawned a lifelong interest in the paranormal.
I vaguely vaguely remember that episode (I was probably around 7-8 years old)
As usual, anything that took place in the B.G. era ("Before Google") is difficult to find information on.
This woman clearly does not play games, and is entirely missing the point.
We enjoy GTA not because we aspire to do the same things in real life, it's merely escapism from real life. While I might laugh at certain "bad" actions I'd do in the game, I'd be horrified before I complete any of them in real life, not to mention the emotional/legal repercussions. Please!
That said, I think that the compelling nature of games (which is only improving) MAY influence the MOST impressionable minds. Isn't there a game ratings system for this very reason?
Post of the day. I have recorded your argument and will add it to my private rhetoric to my inadvertently overly::cough:: ignorant::cough:: conservative friends and family;)
Would you like to have the choice of whether to pay taxes and thus be put into a situation where if you weren't carrying a "taxpaying citizen" card, the police would refuse to help you/firemen would go back to the station/non-toll roads would be off-limits to you/military would not protect you? Would you like there to be factions that are competing to provide these very basic services? (I believe this idea was brought up in Neal Stephenson's "Snow Crash", but not 100% certain.)
Since you have the luxury of not having locked yourself into a language, you have the ability to survey all the offerings out there, whether minority and up-and-coming, or well-known and entrenched.
After considering various languages to switch to for my scripting needs (ironically, it was prompted by the fact that PHP won't handle unsigned integers), I took a look at Python and Ruby and thus I would suggest taking a look at Ruby. I was one of those people turned off by Python's "significant indenting", and some other quirks. Ruby has a heck of a lot of niftiness beneath the surface.
That's funny, I absolutely loved Giants, and I was playing it on my old G4/733 a few years ago just fine;) It was actually one of the very first OS X-only games.
There are many instances of so-called "convergent evolution" in nature. Perhaps due to the fact that the laws of physics are (likely) pretty much the same throughout the universe, and that the phylogeny out there is due in part to those laws (two eyes and two ears to see and hear in stereo, nose below eyes and mouth below nose in most creatures, 2 limbs on each side of the body, bilateral symmetry etc.) My conclusion is that perhaps, the way we communicate is *more likely than you think* to be similar to the way a completely independently-developing intelligent race of beings might communicate.
I've used JHymn (a very nice java version of Hymn) but ONLY to be able to listen to my iTunes-purchased music on my Roku Soundbridge, NOT to distribute it. Prior to the Roku I was totally fine with the encryption and didn't find it obstructed fair use. Which leads to a question.
If I unlock my own music to facilitate my own use and don't share any of it, have I committed a wrong?
I was bugging my host to switch to PHP5, and then I recently discovered Ruby (and Rails), and am now bugging him to do that, since it is way more über than PHP, but there's even less of a chance of him going there anytime soon. =(
I bought in 2000, sold in 2004 for double the value. Re-bought a new place last August with a tidy sum of a down payment. Less than 50% of my condo value is mortgaged. I'm not sure if this puts me in the "overpaid" zone or not, but I'm not too worried, since the drop would have to be well over 20% for me to have lost money vs. renting the equivalent property for that entire time. And that's only if I was forced to sell during the dip.
You're right about the classic bubble symptom, however. I'm just not as certain as you that there is going to be a pop, as opposed to a slow deflation.
I have done my research. I believe that the slow-upcreep of interest rates that Greenspan is engineering may actually head off a real-estate crash. I am not sure if this strategy was attempted in the past, such as during the real-estate crash of the early 90's. I believe that crashes are very similar to stalls in aircraft- if your angle of attack is too high, your ascent is not sustainable based on thrust, but if you can manage to lower the elevator a bit (which the Fed interest rate acts as) then based on my non-econ-degree understanding, you MAY be able to smooth the ascent, or at least level it off gradually.
I find it curious that the only people I run into that are negative on the current real-estate market are those who also find themselves priced out of it, in the area in which they live. There is zero exception to this and I talk to A LOT of people about real estate (I live in Boston, if that is any hint). I have certainly been paying attention to the risk factors as I pay down my mortgage, however.

It would behoove anyone who hasn't read up on the topic yet to google the wide variety of sexual behavior observed in the animal kingdom before coming to any conclusions about the "naturalness" of same-sex proclivities.

This has to be the most delayed reaction to a feature that was new over a year ago, EVAR!!
slashdot is losing the edge... what, do you guys sleep all day now and rest on the laurels of advertising?
holy crap! this is definitely the coolest hack I've seen this week!

I see nothing spectacular about this. Just a gateway redirect with a user agent spoof after a packet sniff. n00b stuff ;)

Here is a ruby-gtk+ faq. I am currently studying Ruby on Rails myself, and lovin' it!
I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet.

Been using it for years.
Only "cost" is a popup ad when you print to PDF.
That's funny, I absolutely loved Giants, and I was playing it on my old G4/733 a few years ago just fine ;) It was actually one of the very first OS X-only games.
"Most", by population or by number of countries? ;)
Ah, the U.S... The world watches the U.S., while the U.S. watches the boob tube.

Nevermind, just answered my own question. Dunno why VLC couldn't handle it, though.
They claim the movie is DivX-encoded but VLC won't play it (at least my copy, it crashes on open). Any OS X folks out there know how to play this?
