I'm not deceiving myself. I'm not a part of any communities online, nor do I pay for anything besides access and an NNTP service. That hardly plays into that "you don't see how this EXACT practice is used in other areas of the internet that you frequent and extoll the highest praises to" angle you have there. Unless that wasn't directed at me. The internet is a source of information for me, or a means to communicate with others with such intentions. The only "socializing" I really do is realtime (IRC) - in fact I think I've broken a personal record in responding to a response to one of my posts - I usually toss in my $0.02 and leave.
I'm not sure exactly what you are disagreeing with me on, if indeed you are disagreeing at all.
To be clear, I am not admonishing you or your business methods, I'm just stating as an outside opinion that I think you may be going about it wrong if you have to resort to such "tricks" to get it to work (you shouldn't need to). As I stated my opinion derives from my belief that paying to meet people is not only unnecessary, but unnatural to us - again leading you to the problem of having to lure people to your site. But these are just opinions. I am likely completely wrong*, but my opinion isn't causing you any harm is it?
* - not being a part of any communities, or never having run them, I can only speculate about all this.
Perhaps what you are whining about isn't a problem, the premise of a dating website is the actual problem. Your business model fails, move on - don't try to justify all the hoops you jumped through.
I can understand if you are trying to sell a product, or an actual service. What you are explaining leads me to think you are trying to do boils down to this analogy: You are renting a public space for people to loiter and meet.
That is not good. What you do is provide said space, and sell things with it (drinks, etc) - this carries over into the internet realm as well. You need something to attract people besides the ability to meet other people (hell you could do that here if you wanted) or crafting misleading leads or outright lying. Which is what you are doing (justified or not).
I like how I tried to submit this earlier, and found it already in the firehose, pointing to the actual projects page... and along comes kdawson and just tosses this one up feeding ad-revenue to wired.
By the time the missile is within jamming range (keep in mind this thing flies low, so it will be 'under' the signal for a good range too) you have a remaining flight time of seconds, if not minutes.
But it's not totally random - I (randomly) grabbed a joystick from my desk and read the product number off the bottom. My new handle was born. I was not feeling very creative at the time...
First, people stopped reading the articles. Next, they stopped reading the summaries.
I think we are now at the point where people stop reading the comments. Next after that, people will stop reading what they typed, and from that what they are typing. In only a few short steps Slashdot will become the biggest random number generator in existance.
Er, because there are more guns? You need to compare the overall crime rates, and then you need to factor everything else in as well. You can't just look at those two statistics and draw anything accurate out of them - your on another freaking continent with completely different social groups - there's just too many variables, variables that by no means have small impact.
I don't care what you are or are not. You have logic behind you, and that's what is important.
I think one of the big boons to allowing (hell, even encouraging) gun ownership is confidence and independence. People who have a gun, even if they never use (or plan to) will probably feel themselves a lot more empowered than your average "sheeple" would. That confidence impacts nearly everything we touch.
The White House is not legislative, it's executive.
It's funny how the Judiciary says "you have the authority to do this" and then goes and says "Oh, i guess it's up to us to enforce it". I think there might be some confusion on who is what...
Just in case, to clarify:
Executive Branch: White-House Legislative Branch: Senate, House of Representatives Judicial Branch: The Courts (specifically the Supreme Court)
On the other side of the coin, IT sounds like a blessing for me. I would be happy to tire myself from computers at work, because I don't get sick of the computer itself, just the tasks that I am doing on one. I'm happy to spend all day at work screwing with spreadsheets only to go home and fire up a game, or a synthesizing suite, or a modeling program, or a web browser... etc
That sounds like something the userspace would do, not really part of the filesystem.

They haven't run the tests yet. This is just something they noticed when they landed.
We send this probe up there with all this fancy testing equipment, only to land in the friggin' stuff we're trying to find. It's actually pretty funny...
You have to filter, otherwise the signal/noise ratio leaves us in a worse state than not noticing. This looks like it might help negate an overly-zealous filter.
How many distros package pre-built nvidia kernel modules? Why would any sane distribution force source-compiling on it's users for this package, when nearly every other package in the repo is binary? Sure, the source is available (and at first would be the only thing available aside from the 'official' build on the CD) it only takes one person to compile it (at minimum, but you know what I mean)
While I can't refute your second point, the first on isn't an issue I think. Nvidia has proved that - their fancy installer builds the blob 'interface' modules from source. Most users don't know what it's doing, and those same users don't need to.
Matrox and Intel are the only other ones who do/did this to this level, that I'm aware of. Are you saying this is not above-and-beyond on ATI/AMD's part?

It is a shame logic is so rare a gift.
This website has been under the strain of Digg all day, and then slashdot comes around... think of how many other places people are flooding it from?

It's not funny. Either that, or I'm missing something (which is probably the case.)
So? This isn't FreeBSD.
Not redundant. Mod, please post to undo your mistake.
I didn't write that as clear as I could.. currently I muck with spreadsheets etc all day. I think IT would be an improvement.

I've heard about this as well. The plastic versions don't have that issue.
In any case, this isn't made of liquid metal. Just ordinary titanium.

That said, it seems one of the best ways to get a technology developed is to figure out how to kill people with it.

(nvidia's binary blob interface does NOT count)
Why would it be binary? They have GPL drivers, and they have opened specs. Binary drivers would be stupid.
