Well, there's a time and place for masturbation... and that is not next to a dying girl's hospital bed. And not to someone you try to strangle later. But that is not the worst of it by a long shot.
How about the Shinji's Oedipus complexes with Rei and Misato? Or Ikari's attempt to reincarnate his dead wife? Or his boning both his partner and her daughter Ritsuko? Then there's the gay thing between Shinji and Kaowaru (not that there's anything wrong with that).
So maybe there's nothing blatant, but you can feel the twisted sexual tension throughout the whole series. Eew.
Any user-friendly software useful enough to regular people to be worthwhile buying requires some decent amount of development. Development skills going above "any idiot"'s ability, especially if it's written in C.
Yeah, you'd think so wouldn't you? But I've seen so many Windows programs that just sucked ass, but still, the guy wants $30 for a license...and you know, Windows users are so accustomed to low quality that they think that's reasonable.
Yeah, you got to be skilled to do user-friendly, but you don't got to be skilled to pull a fast one on a sucker. Especially if you use VB.
I swear, I've seen book tutorials packaged up and sold! That's not right.
Actually, I think the GP used the right word: "e-gregarious," an adjective meaning "willing to participate on an on-line forum of some kind; to not lurk." And in those circumstances, people do routinely ignore spelling and grammatical errors.:-)
This is also known as the "White Man's Burden,"... it's the responsibility of white folk to make allowances for the deeply engrained failing of Those People.
Our burden is not merely to "make allowances." The White Man has the responsibility and the obligation to teach civilization to the uncivilized...for their own good.
You, the parent poster, understand this, but I want to clarify what the phrase means for others.
Note that I do not share this belief, but many do-gooders, social workers, and charities do.
Correct on all counts. The way I figure it, everything will end up happening in the most likely way, that will result in some guy getting killed by a time-traveler who leaves five years from now.
Now, the question of which events are the most likely is the interesting one.
Is it most likely that the killer never learns that he's the killer, so he trucks on unawares?
Or is it most likely that he didn't actually do the deed, and it was just someone who looked like him?
Or is it most likely that he think about it, think about killing himself, shrug, decide that he can't do anything about it, and goes ahead and kills the guy when the time comes?
Or is it most likely that he'll be kicking and screaming the entire way, with random chance thwarting his every attempt to thwart his destiny?
Who knows. But if you want to know what it could be like, read some Greek tragedy. All the characters know they screwed up, know the Fates are gonna get them, think they can win, and get hosed anyway.
Yeah because 68k->ppc and fat binaries so obviously destroyed apple.
Rosetta (the PPC emulator) seems a lot more limited than the 68K emulator. It won't fake AltiVec, it won't work for any apps that require a G4 or G5 processor.
...micromanage all kinds of different technologies like hard disks and software decoders in order to ensure that the flags are honored, I figure that Congress is going to want nothing to do with it.
What does Congress care? They just say, "make it so!," and the FCC has the headaches. Now, that said, the FCC should oppose this.

Didn't you hear? Communism is just a red herring...
fire ants are attracted to electricity (which they are, I have an anecdote about that if you like)
:)
Spill it.
Plus, Eva isn't nearly as sexually suggestive as Drawn Together on Comedy Central.
Mm. This is true... but NGE is more sexually disturbing than Drawn Together.
No, I take it back. Drawn Together is more fucked up, but it is fucked-up comedy. NGE is fucked-up drama. Big difference.
...having your mind twisted likes a towel and twacked against the ass of Jesus Christ...
Wow. That's beautiful, man...a perfect description of NGE! Good show, old bean.
They did fix it. mv, etc., work for resource forks now.

Are you insane? That is totally not true! And it is "America," not "American"! And of course you know this already!
Because...umm...ellipses are cool?
As long as it's not egregarious, neither do I...

Who is that, anyway?
I don't recall Luke ever becomming an official Jedi Knight.
Don't you remember what Yoda said? "You must confront Vader. Then, only then, a Jedi will you be."
And since Luke did, he was.
Why audiophiles?
We do not like to purchase goods online because it is too risky.
It's called a "return policy," fool.
But railguns aren't beam weapons, they are projectile weapons. It's just that the projectile is travelling at a respectable fraction of c...
The projectiles aren't propelled by beams, they are propelled by magnets.

"I call it luck."

The Intel compiler is a nice piece of work and I wouldn't be surprised to see Apple pick this up and dump GCC within a few years.
Only if Intel's compiler can do Objective-C. Which I betcha it can't, and won't.
Hm...I don't think I've seen a candy like this. Cha-ching!
Ay caramba!

In Germany we have a term for it: "Herrschaftswissen"
Why am I not surprised that the German language has a word for this?
It is as if there are secret German think tanks, where they discover things that have hitherto gone unnamed -- and name them.
What is up with that?
