Well better tea leaves, than the intestines of small animals. Even though the later practice has been quite popular in Europe in the days before tea leaves were widely available, it is somewhat frowned upon today. Performing hepatoscopy on a regular basis, might even flag you as an psychopath these days.
By these qualifications, every twelve year old is a psychopath. Also, seriously, using periods? You mean, as in proper fucking writing? What else, proper capitalization of sentences and pronouns?
In my experience being twelve and hitting puberty won't exactly result in stable persona. It takes them a while to get used to the changes in their live.
okay, I know people hate the dream explanations, esp. from men. But I had a dream where I was interviewing with a company [like a hipster startup like facebook sorta] and they used something like a midi sequencer and a keyboard to enter in the password in order to roll to production servers. All they guy needed to do was remember how to play the song... the whole song. He kept headphones and since he was a Senior, sat in the front center of the room like a dj. When the password was correct, the install scripts would start running and lights would blink and stuff, it was a big event (I guess this fantasy company doesn't roll everyday? it was a dream okay)
so, in conclusion, cant a song be a password?
Of course it could, but it would be a PITA to input and rather easy to guess by bystanders from a small sample. It would also be rather easy to set up a dictionary type attack.
Oh there was soap, but also a deep rooted believe, that washing was unhealthy if done too often. But I guess people got used to it - or even learned to love it (shudder).
While I do appreciate some competition and relying only on google to provide map service might backfire some day, there is no way you can get by simply not using it.
You can use any map on your page, you still have to go to google maps and set up/edit a profile (for brick and mortar business). So I either use google or have to set up 2 different systems. There may be other uses of course, but for simple "How to find us" pages, google is hard to beat.
On the other hand I try to keep an open mind for new ideas.
Come on guys, I know this is Slashdot, but have you really never seen a bra before?

Be careful before you answer, because mentioning your private collection of Victoria's not so secret catalog, will result in even less people willing to shake your hand.
I still own the first D&D and AD&D first and second edition rules and source books. It was fun playing at the time, but when the third edition came out I decided not participate any longer and went for different systems to spend money on (but continued playing 2nd edition). But it has been several years now since my last rpg session (that was vampire the masquerade).
anyone that uses the term "lib" can be ignored with no loss of information.
I was thinking of a joke along the lines of C++ libraries, but then I noticed, that such a meaningless comment would actually prove your point. (Also the joke wasn't really funny)
Our choice nowadays is between Romney and his Gestapo, or Obama and his Stasi.
Nazi Germany or East Germany, choose your hell. Personally, I'll take modern Germany, they have more freedoms than we do.
Well sometimes things have to get worse before they get better. I'm not sure though, what the rest of the world will have to go through, while the US goes through it's Third Reich Phase.
As far as I know a judge decided in that case, that the farmers were within their rights, to trade and plant the potato in question. Even though the original supplier did not renew the license for commercial use.
arrrh! Deep in the Microsoft dungeons lies the one true key. Guarded by deadly traps, ancient trolls and "things" of utter darkness. Find it and the tablets will be yours, but beware of the guardians of Redmond and their wrath.
Not exactly stupid. Humans are just very lazy and while having a lot of knowledge does have it's pros it used to take a lot of work. This time is no longer invested to the same degree, because it seems no longer necessary. This is not entirely a good thing, but also quite understandable. On the other hand many great inventions originated from the concept of using the least amount effort necessary to get work done.
There are a few questions that would need to be cleared before I would even consider such an idea. Burden of proof on damages, specialized insurance (I'm pretty sure your normal car insurance won't cover it), wear, cleaning, smokers, tickets...
The point is rental companies see their cars as an investment that is supposed to bring in some profit before being phased out. Private owners consider their own cars as "my precious" and renters as "who cares, it's not my car" and hope the rental company doesn't note the new scratches.

No boss, I'm not playing Guitar Hero/Portal/Diablo, I'm trying to log into the network...
They ask you for your cat's name...

Well most people, while appreciating good packaging, are more interested in the content.

Nerds, bras, carbon dating Nerds, bras, dating Nerds... Bras ... dating
Nerds... Bras .. dating
hmmm
What can possibly go wrong? When nerds are involved? Wet pants!!!
Once a nerd is involved a WHOLE LOT can go wrong with dating.
Those "(presumably male) linen underpants" look more like a g-string.
Perhaps those bards got up to more fun in the taverns than we know.
To be more precise many women wore less under their several layers of skirts. Sweet dreams.

"they can't kill us all"
They don't have to, They just need kill enough. - I can't believe I'm actually commenting in this wacko thread.

actually I was more along the lines of this red flood. But reds under the beds aren't to craze of the day anymore.

Or you could "bookmark" interesting candidates for further information gathering and subsequent stalking. Scary...
First the red flood, now the brown tide...
