You have some pent up sexual frustrations. Why don't you try browsing around on http://www.gaydar.com/ - it might help you. If you admit your friends you might be surprised at how supportive they are. But first you have to admit your sexuality to yourself. Whether you tell your parents will have to be up to.
Also they could have just been forced. As other pointed out, you can imagine creatures being forced into shallow waters by waves. There they evolve in very shallow water (i'm thinking like a few centimeters). You can imagine creatures that were able to survive seasons where the pool dries up, and from there creatures that move from one pool of water to another. (Someone else pointed out that we know eels can travel large distances across land to move to more water.) Just by thinking it's not that hard to come up with a plausible suggestions on why slowly such an advantage would be gained.
Lol. Evolution is selective breeding - the survival of the fittest. Of course evolution is goal driven - it rewards those that live old enough and produce healthy offspring.
A trap door would work well. Btw, that's why toilets have a U-bend with water in them. The water stops the smelly air from the sewer coming up through the toilet.

I would kinda agree with the "putting your contact information in" bit, but this is the "misconfigured" default page. I haven't checked, but I would be fairly sure that even the MS IIS server's default unconfigured page probably has a link to microsoft's web page at least.
I can't believe what I'm reading! Sending many threatening emails is harassment. The user is _many many_ times more rude. This fact seems to have totally gone over your head. You even say they are requesting "technical information" when they just want to know the most basic of questions. How does information like the website name constitute "technical information" ??
The guy sends them rude email after rude email. How about he starts off by, well, not being rude!
And you say they should have just asked to help him... wtf. Almost every email they plead to help him.
These guys were waaaay more polite than I ever would have been.
Btw, I think the reason they published the emails on the internet was because of the last email. That really was the straw the broke the camels back. He blames _them_ for not helping _him_ quicker!

Sun (and others) wanted an open document standard, so started working on ODF through OASIS. _Microsoft_ was a member at that time. [http://www.oasis-open.org/about/%5D
At any time MS could have had it's input into ODF. It really couldn't have been more open. ODF is easily flexible enough for MS to use if they wanted.
Whether ODF will be pointless... I don't know. I think MS will feel the pressure. They are too arrogant about this all.
While possibly technically true, it seems misleading when you say "without consultation with MS". It's an open standards body. MS could have joined at any time. It's MS's choice not to influence ODF, not anybody else's.
Perhaps I live in the dream world, but given MS's position, I would joined it, and spun it to give my company some very much needed positive PR.
Btw, do you really think the OS community has much of a chance of forcing MS to open it's xml formats fully? That's far more unlikely of winning.
No, I think the best solution is the way we are playing it now. Sometimes you have to fight even if it's a difficult fight.
Hi Xiando,
On a serious note, please check in at a local mental hospital. You can have informal talks with the staff there and you may find that some of your paranoia can be helped with modern medicines.
And see if you can spot the odd one out. A quick hint - "brother" is defined as a male (or female) _muslim_. I have asked many Muslims to double check this as best I can.
Hi,
I love stories like the one you gave. My favourite is with dolphins. They found that a particular dolphin picked up a trick whereby it would use some seaweed (I think) to cover their nose while grubbing for food in corral. The seaweed protected it from getting scratched by the corral. Any dolphins they came in contact with the dolphin learnt this trick.

However I do think that life is just a series of physical process. When you look at biology you realise how powerful a collection of simple neurons etc can be.
Look at ants. Each ant behaves in a very simple way. And yet put together they can have complex emergent behaviour.
What do you mean they suck in color reproduction? I admit at the moment most digital hologram printers only use 3 lasers instead of the required 5 lasers for 'true' color, but then so do monitors etc. Also you can have any angle of view you want as long as you don't mind losing brightness. I print at 60 degrees from normal (120 degree window in total). Not too shabby.
Funny you should mention this. They were talking on the radio about how we shouldn't teach about Hitler in schools anymore (UK) because it leads to tensions between us and Germany.
Not that I'm so paranoid or anything to think that they don't want us to draw parallels here..
Your way of reasoning is too incomplete to follow:
" However, certain politicians oppose the idea of a free market for labor." It would be nice to say why, but arguably not necessary.
"When a labor shortage arises in the market for high-tech labor, such politicians attempt to damage" emotional language. Lose a point. "the correcting force of the shortage by injecting H-1B workers into the market. When a labor shortage arises in the agricultural sector, such politicians attempt to damage" Again, use of emotional 'damage' without any reasoning behind why it's 'damaging' and not, say, 'fixing'.
" the correcting force of the shortage by injecting illegal aliens" illegal aliens? You are really going to need to back this up. You are claiming that politicians add _illegal_ aliens to certain areas. A reputable link please.
" into the market for unskilled labor. Both actions damage the ability of the labor market to function properly" emotional, although technically not incorrect.
" and, hence, suppress wages and working conditions. A shortage of labor is not something that needs "fixing" by government intervention." You just jumped to this. Obviously some politicans feel it does not fixing. Why? You just made up this conclusion without any support at all.
"The government does not intervene when there is a labor surplus" Why not? Does it need to? What suggestions do you have?
"like the surplus in the automobile sector (which is undergoing massive layoffs)" What should the government do exactly?
"Why does the government intervene when there is a labor shortage?" Well if you don't know why then why are you making statements about how good/bad those reasons are?
"Shortages are never permanent" Why? " and require no government intervention" Again, obviously someone feels it does require government intervention. Why?
Actually I bought a go board, but don't use it. It's far more fun to play online against others, plus you can review a game much easier. Boards are over rated;)
I was going to post the same. My gf has picked it up and loves it. Although we actually enjoy it more to play against other people online than to play against each other..
Name one new and original book that isn't a knock off of some older book. Name one new device that isn't a knock off of some older device (dvd player = copy of video player. ipod = copy of walkman, etc) Name on new _idea_ that isn't a knock off of some older idea.
We progress in increments. One step at a time. Deal with it buddy.
I tried to run mandrake. I put it on my brother's laptop etc, and it worked well for a few years. But, damnit, it's rpm and not.deb - what's with that? I too have switched to ubuntu, and the number one reason is because it uses.deb

This table is good as well. Compare the religions and see how much Islam sticks out. Bias perhaps, but anyone is welcome to give me better quotes.
