I forgot to mention this, but she was also drop-dead sexy. She had been offered roles at games conventions to model for video game characters on two separate occasions by different game developing companies (both times she was very convincingly dressed as video game characters) but turned them down because she wants to teach.
Yes, this is all true.
While control over emotions is a factor, otherwise ordinary people can and often do change drastically when the focus of an addiction is a factor. Someone in a different thread mentioned being in a relationship where not texting his girlfriend every day meant (to her) that he was cheating on her.
At first she was very much the embodiment of my dream come true. Granted, we had a bit of a language barrier between us and time zones (it was a long distance relationship). At the beginning of the relationship it was wonderful, we would chat with Skype and fall asleep together with mics and cams on. I even met her mum and step-dad (with skype). We met at Christmas and she stayed at my place, parting ways at the aeroport sucked. As time went on after she left it deteriorated.
I just got out of a relationship with an otherwise exceptionally intelligent woman just a year (she's 28 as I type this) younger than me, who got perfect or extremely-near-perfect (98% was disappointing to her) scores when she was a student. She now teaches at the same university she studied at and is already famous, well known and appreciated in her field with all the research she has accomplished, papers she's written (at least 40 I think) and the students absolutely love her, always asking her if they can be in her class. She's the youngest on staff and similar in age or even younger than most of the people she teaches, she's even an avid gamer like me. She's very much a bookworm, fiercely independent-minded, very career-oriented and has the ability to focus on tasks without issue. She doesn't smoke or drink, and her mother is (to put it simply) rich because of her own hard work growing up (doing a very self-validating job too, not something anyone could look down on for any reason). It's probably easy to see why I fell for her and no I didn't give a shit about the money, that was a nice bonus on top of everything else.
However, that said: She's a fervent pessimist, I'm not. To her, if her uncle was able to quit smoking cigarettes cold-turkey one day many years ago, anyone who can't is stupid. She sometimes would disappear without warning for days (more than a week, once) when she didn't get her way (spoiled, self-centred), even for trivial matters. Her mother bought for her her first apartment. Not rented. Bought. This isn't a bad thing in and of itself, but I imagine it can only contribute to spoiling her daughter. We were playing online with a family I've known for twice as long as her, when I unthinkingly gave an item to the parents' 11 year old son (the parents were playing too) who begged for an item I had found that he could use, she misunderstood it as being something she could use too and immediately got VERY angry at me because I hadn't even considered asking her if she wanted it too (admittedly, I hadn't thought to and I had only had a passing glance at the item's description), she then logged off and insisted she would never play with me again, but after 22 minutes (and me being embarrassed by her in front of my friends) she came back. Psychologically, she sees things in black and white: there are no shades of reason in-between, and she can be very VERY vicious when she feels offended, even when no offence was intended (but she does sometimes apologize). I spoke to my psychiatrist about her and he said she probably has Borderline Personality Disorder. I know he shouldn't be diagnosing her so quickly and easily without meeting her but I don't hold it against him, the time to our session was coming to an end and he's only human. Of course I dreaded talking to her about it and put it off for a week because I knew she would get angry because 1) talking to my psychiatrist about her without her 2) thinking I couldn't talk to her about sensitive topics without her getting angry (self-fulfilling) 3) even suggesting that she has such a disorder. She once told me that her mum has the same sort of temperament, but whenever I brought that up again afterwards she always downplayed it. I read about it online and due to the ver
God I miss Splinter Cell. I LOVED the first one and played through it many times using different styles (ghosting, full assault, etc). I had a ritual where when a new Splinter Cell would come out I would play through all the previous ones one by one just to remind myself of the storyline, then I would play through the newest one completely up to date and aware of the history and characters. Then came Splinter Cell: Double Agent which ruined the series completely because of how show-stoppingly buggy it was. After the initial release I don't believe Ubisoft Shanghai released a single patch despite all the Splinter Cell fans begging for one, there were so many bugs in it that I was never even able to complete the game because they hindered my progression. The sad thing is Ubisoft Montreal had already started Double Agent in the same awesome "traditional" style that had made it succeed, but it was PC only. Ubisoft Shanghai made the game Xbox 360-centric and the PC version was a port of that. Splinter Cell was the epitome of gameplay style I love, but I've never touched another Splinter Cell game since and I miss it sooooo much.:'(
My lesson from all this: Steer clear of any game produced by Ubisoft Shanghai. They just DON'T CARE.:(
+1, except submitter wasn't confused. That's how people, not just ATC, pilots, or water-faring vessel operators refer to deceased (or possibly soon to be deceased) people in an emergency. SOS for example means Save Our Souls, if at any point anyone ever thought it was Save Our Ship, they either never heard of the original meaning or are simply non-religious to the extent of refusing to use an acronym's original meaning. I'm not religious but I'm perfectly okay with using the word soul in any context.
If this archive really existed it would be the one place that would definitively debunk Christianity as whole and in all its forms. Then of course, millions of people would voluntarily ignore anything that comes of it and life would go on unchanged, with people just as ignorant as before.
You're using a hosting service and thus are still to be held responsible if used improperly, the hosting service will hold you accountable which they can easily do because you're paying the bills. This is why what I said still applies even if you use a hosting service. It must be public knowledge that your host is a Tor exit node.
As far as I understand it, if you want to host a Tor exit node it should be public knowledge that the address serves as a Tor exit node. This means you should advise your ISP that it is, and list the reasons.
That's because the number of exit nodes isn't very large. If there were more, a corresponding increase in speed would be the result.. If you want to help make Tor faster for other users, set up your own computer as an exit node.

This is awesome news, finally people who pride themselves on their ability to speak l33t can do so with pride. Oh wait we has[sic] no pride. :(

AC forgot to close the parenthesis.
You could also "noun the verb". As if to say the source is the crap being used to dilute the whole.
Example: "Haha, what an noobtubing OED."
As an adjective: "LOL, that word is so OED.
A series of letters containing numbers doesn't make it a word. "Leet".. retarded but okay. L33t? Wtf is wrong with these people?
Not Korean, no.
Singularly or doubly positive?

2 months. 33,000 reports. Seriously? This "award" is worthless.

My guess is the authorities would have no problem finding a reason to knock on your door if shady things are done using your hosted exit node.

Ha, you made me curious!
Finally a big player has stepped into the ring. :D This should be great!
I read the linked blog post and from what I understand he says, they initially copied his article ver batim, then when he found out they reworded it.
Oh geez. I replied without clicking the link. It's a goatse. Don't go.

You can't seriously still believe that vaccines cause autism after all the articles on slashdot that have mentioned the fact that the originator committed a fraud that caused the deaths of thousands of children?
