Replace "IV Drug use" with "sharing needles" and I would agree with your point on this issue. The problem with the language is that it discriminates against drug use. Drug use does not spread HIV, reducing need availability does.
I would agree that the study should concentrate on uncircumcised men since ideally we shouldn't have to hack off the male genitals.
"protect against diseases which are easier to catch without engaging in risky behavior. Can you imagine asking people to pay a few hundred dollars (a guess based on the cost of Gardasil), and visit the doctor half a dozen times to get such a relatively small benefit (reducing risk by about a third, with only two years of testing)?"
You believe that eliminating the risk from anonymous sex would be a small benefit? The flaw in your thought is that people actively avoid being stabbed by rusty nails. Nobody wants to have to avoid or restrict sex. Ideally we could safely couple with as many partners as we could manage. An aids vaccine wouldn't get us there but an aids vaccine coupled with a male version of the pill would certainly help.
'Or are you claiming that once people believe they have the vaccine, that they will have more unprotected sex and thus increase their risk of contracting HIV?'
Of course they would. Perhaps you enjoy having sex with a piece of rubber but some of us prefer actual contact. Eliminating STD's and circumcision are two of the greatest causes known to man.
"I prefer my idea of using Lunar local resources to generate power safely for more space operations."
Well if you consider detonating a reactor to propel the moon into the earth a safe space operation... no wait, you said generating the power would safe, not the space operation.
Because it is accurate. I started my post with "According to the article..." my post was accurately portrayed information as presented in the article, not my opinion. You are referencing an entirely different article that appears to present more details than the one linked in the story.
But Chrome DOES use a ribbon menu.... I don't know if you are a dumb fuck though. That said if you are an extremely attractive woman I'd be willing to evaluate.
I'm afraid I have to disagree. The ribbon menu simply buries everything a level deeper but that isn't the big problem.
The big problem is that every other program on the windows platform uses the File, Edit, View, etc design. This was wonderful and a big advantage for windows over other platforms. Once you learned the system you could pick up a new program and fairly effortlessly find all the commands and learn to use the program. By using a consistent interface it brought a level of intuitiveness to every program that conformed.
With the ribbon interface, there is no uniformity. There is no commonality you can fall back on with a new program using this interface. Each app is going to be different.
"Actually you can buy prepaid VISA cards with cash."
Sure but you can't just go and use them. You have to register your information with the card company first. Whether that is applied to your Fico score? who knows, ultimately the scoring system is a secret.
I never said chemistry wasn't compatible with sensuality, I said it is required for sensuality. If you are sensual without chemistry then you will just seem creepy and that is even worse than the friend zone.
Example, an attractive young girl I know works at a retail store. A man encountered her and was friendly and respectful enough, after paying he stood outside the store and gazed at her in a sensual and longing manner. After the police arrived... thats right, kind+respectful+sensual without chemistry = creepy and resulted in the police being called.
I actually have absolutely no difficulty interacting with women either for brief encounters or deeper romance. The secret with women is to be strong (I mean will, but physical helps), assertive, confident, and to make her feel secure.
The common perceptions are wrong too though. You don't have to be rich, the bartender at the club has a wilder time each night than anyone in the VIP room and all the girls KNOW he's broke and several chumps sitting at the bar alone are well off. You also don't really have to be a jerk, asshole, or mean. Its just that most of the people who express strength naturally are the jock asshole types.
But make no mistake. If you are strong, assertive, and confident you will have no problem getting laid. Even if you are an asshole and treat women like shit.
Kindness + Respect = No chemistry and therefore no opportunity for sensuality.
Women say they want a man who is empathetic because they are empathetic and the friends they like are empathetic but they are biologically wired to want the traits that arise from excess testosterone not estrogen.
Just like they all say they want a good stable man. That is who they want to marry which is worse than the friend zone. But if you want to experience the wild sexual and sensual side of a woman then you had better be a strong but unstable bad boy.
Generally speaking buying any company outright that made 2.8bil last year for only 3.9bil is a steal. That's less than half what the company is worth on paper based on earnings alone.
"Some people loathe their jobs. That's unfortunate. But for those who do something they like doing, that they feel is worthwhile doing, the money's just icing on the cake. Or it's really, an extra bonus for what they'd be doing for free anything."
Not really. It starts out that way but then what you started out loving becomes your job. Next thing you know, thats the last thing you want to do in your spare time. Whatever your job is, do the best job of it you can. Not because your employer deserves it, they probably don't, but because you spend a substantial portion of your life doing it. You can also make more money but you can't make more time. Time is not money, it is far far more precious.
Honestly, given the freedom to ignore financial concerns I would probably leave technology behind at this point in my life. Think private monastery in the mountains and a very zen lifestyle.
That's because you code for a living. I discovered this with tech I absolutely love technology. Working with it, hacking it, etc but when it became my day job... well it becomes work and work sucks.
The old saying is to find a job doing what you love. I say whatever you do, don't get a job doing what you love. It will steal the joy from whatever it is.
He's done the right thing not only in fighting this attack on his organic farm but also in letting all of those who previously consumed his tasty organic produce know about.
Boy am I glad I dodged that bullet. I almost bought some of that radioactive sludge he's peddling.

"Druggie" is not a word, so I am not certain how you are correcting its spelling.
I wasn't aware that 20's was a sexual orientation either.

Carry on.

Suuuuure lets just strap a damn rocketpack on the moon and aim it at us.
Not to mention the fake moonrock we gifted to another nation.
Actually according to the article that water distribution is across the entire surface of the moon.
The hydration and dehydration of the surface is theorized to cause that one quart per ton to travel and collect in the shadowed craters at the poles.

Like Chrome. Sorry chrome fanatics you can abuse mod privs and mark me troll all day long I've got more karma than you can imagine.

Is there an option to stop telling everyone on your friends list about everything you do on your account?
Yup, that is what they all say. It isn't what they want though. Guys like that live exclusively in the friend zone.
Indeed. I find the success rate is higher if you hand them the money first.
Dude.... you missed a perfectly good in soviet russia joke there :,(
A debit card means a bank account. No can do if you don't want anything in your credit report.
'Don't buy things you can't afford. Save first, then buy.'
That's great but credit isn't the only thing that goes into your credit report.
You'll also need to avoid having a phone, cable, or utilities. No cell phone either.
Actually, even people checking your credit report is in your credit report.
