And you fail to meet the challenge. Does that mean anything? Should you sleep with your sister's best friend or come clean with your wife about the farm hand's hands. All indications point to 'YES' but do retry any 8-ball you wish to consult. In the meantime, please refrain from anal sex: it's dirty-naughty, and God knows about it. Sweetie. x
I have to say that bergamot and vetiver smell good to me. I avoid shagging vetiver plants, not just because they're spiky, and I haven't shagged a bergamot bush partly because I've not actually seen one, and partly because *who shags a bush*? But apparently, my esteemed co-comenteer likes 'the smell of a woman'. Aside from 80s films, does such a thing exist, and why, one might ask, is that the 'natural' thing to be doing? I do lots of unnatural things, but I don't count my sexual encounters among them. Using a fork, walking erect (footwise, I mean), reaching round the back of my head with a limb that's not supposed to get there... all unnatural. Fucking a man... well, that might seem natural to you if you either study penguins or actually try it. Make sure your wife's out of town.:)
I call Susan on your 'it's nature' argument. Prove it's natural to be heterosexual. Go on. You'll please a lot of fundamentals, and greatly displease me. Prove it.
Your post saddens me in ways that I shouldn't even consider. What does it mean when you say you're 'sickened' by something? Does it mean you feel you're unlikely to do that thing, or that the thing in question would make you physically ill, and you might vomit. Would you be prepared to try it to find out, or are you so certain it's... well, not 'wrong' per se, but 'sickening', that you'd be unable to physically contemplate it?
I'm gay, and I regularly place other men's penises in my mouth. Well, one man in particular, actually, in the same way that you probably place your penis in your wife's mouth, vagina or, judging from your post, not her anus. One might ask why it's acceptable for you to push it in her mouth or vagina but not her anus, and while that's entirely the point here, let's not go there. Oh, look - I made a nearly-funny.
I sleep with my partner, and what we do in the bedroom involves inserting parts of me into parts of him, in the same way that you insert parts of you into parts of her. Nothing's dirty or nasty; you don't even know which parts go into which parts. In fact, there are millions of people who insert parts far weirder than you've even considered into places you've never even imagined parts can be inserted. You can buy the DVDs if you're interested. I'm not: what I'm interested is in if you can convince me that you placing your most private, most intimate part into someone else's most private, most intimate part is somehow more special and somehow sacred than me placing my most private, most intimate part in someone else's chosen private, most intimate orifice?
In short, Mr. 'I'm sickened' - oh, whatever. I've been gaybashed on the street by thugs who made a more eloquent argument.
Yeah, but the arguments about iOS are about how they're stopping people doing dodgy things. The arguments about Android are about how people are running amok, able to do whatever they want despite Google. Never mind which allows you your freedom - you are not the average user. Which one - iOS or Android - is the one you choose to keep pictures of your grandkids on?
Ignore the haters. I, and many others, concur. Android is a deathtrap of viruses, harvesting, trojans and misinformation. Fear, uncertainty and doubt. The opposite of a walled garden is surely an entirely open one, and unless you go round with the hoe, the weeds will grow. Apologies for rhyming; 'cause it's true. Equip Gran with a new 'droid tablet, and watch her money slowly be sapped from her account, or give her a new iPad and watch her shop at the App Store. Super stuff - no credit card drainage, no worries about trojans, no viruses. Sorted.
The whole concept is ridiculous - you're saying 'I know the consumer needs to clean up their installation, but I'll offer to install RAM they don't need, then clean up their installation, let them pay for the fake RAM then hope they don't discover I've sneakily cleaned up their installation rather than giving them the RAM they paid for'. Perhaps you should pick out a special superhero costume to go with it. You're thinking FakeRAMGuy or something; I'm thinking 'Pratman'.
This is so massively wonderful that its swollen gorgeousness drags on the ground like some over-eating ant who's been fed and subsequently produced 'yellow' without even knowing what the beardy bloke said. Go, girl...
Imagine what you perceive to be your rights. Imagine they are ascribed to each individual you see around you. Start from that point, and then post further.
In the US it's quite common to pay for receiving messages or calls. I agree - it's rather odd. Imagine crippling your enemies by sending them a massively heavy signed for parcel...
"Two tons of lead, sir? What do you mean you don't want to pay - it's yours!"
This is so true, but in practice I'm selling books on eBay for 0.99 and charging a postage rate of three times what the book is worth just to break even. That's because the postage rate for books is murder...
Why eBooks aren't priced to reflect the lack of paper, shipping and bulk is beyond me.
What utter bollocks you spew: this idea of 'safely' doing business is bizarre and new to me. Tell me about your 'safe' business practices, and I'll listen and nod, then let you loose into the lions' den. Go for it, Mr. Safe Business: I'm going to be charging to sweep up your remains.
I agree totally - I don't want Steve deciding what applications I can and can't install: currently bittorrent-related apps, those which run interpreted code and various other excitingly niche apps are banned from the iPhone and iPad store.
I'm guessing they will also be banned from the Mac store. But can you see Transmission disappearing overnight? KOLMafia is another favourite, which won't get on the app store but isn't going to simply vanish. It'll always be out there, and even if the entire system becomes locked down, there'll be jailbreaking for macs just like for iPhones and iPads.
But listen to that - the locking down of an entire, unix-based system. How? Restrict root access? And how long is that going to last - physical access pretty much means all access. And then there are other things like Parallels Desktop or Boot Camp, all of which allow users to execute various bits of code that Apple hasn't sanctioned. The road to hell is paved, tile by tile, it's true, but it's a hell of a long way from 'shiny app store' to 'locked down mac'.
How did he become this rich? How did he attain this wealth? What is wrong with a guy who attained this level of wealth and power using it?
What if somewhere along the line, people stopped thinking for themselves and started following any messiah who strayed into their path? What if that was Murdoch?
What if people began to think for themselves? What if people realised that the only real choice they have is to think or not to think? What then?
He speaks of missing out the editors, as though they're not necessary. Sure, they hold up the project, but they also avoid the obvious typos and editing mistakes that J.A.Konrath's independent work is littered with. Littered sounds needlessly over-descriptive, right?
Oh, well maybe it is. But even one or two typos or mis-spellings or mis-attributions of speech mars a novel for me. Perhaps I've been spoilt, but what is it by - edited works, that's what.
A power user, if I may take you seriously for a moment, is generally people who populate slashdot. They are people who know more than ctrl-c and ctrl-v to copy and paste. They might be aware they're using a Macintosh, and therefore substitute a command key for the control. If you ask them to press the 'print screen' button they don't look at you blankly. They've heard of it, even if they've never seen it. If they're a Macintosh user, they'll never see it, but nevertheless they know enough to tell you they have no such thing.
To check if you're a power user is quite simple. Do you control the computer or does the computer control you? Does the machine before you bend to every whim you have, or must you constantly think before daring to press return? Do you even know what return is?
When someone says captcha, do you jump?
Enough with the jollity. Power users are people who control the computer. The computer is their tool. They make it do their whim. Ruthlessly. That's being a power user. I'm one, and I guess you are. Your Mom isn't.
Okay, I'm no troll, but this is news to me. How does this happen? You all run antivirus software, and yet somehow actually *visiting* a site can infect you. So how does this work? Can you visit a site wearing a 'condom', or do you know, somehow, that you shouldn't click on something.
No trolling, but as a Mac user I click what I like. How do you know what to click or not click?

Grow up. Or one. Whichever.
