I highly second this. I have found that women in the phych department are largely confused, hurt, and conflicted children. I generally think of them as the most likely to slip comfortably into a murderous rage...
The 30 or so that I have met have all had a strangely skewed version of relationships, and an even stranger view as to what my role would be in their lives.
Now even if I was originally interested, I do all but immediately walk away when in conversation the female to whom I am speaking studies psychology.
I suggest better sanity in the English, Fine Arts, Nursing departments - they seem to have a better hold of reality.
Watch out, though: head-cases can come from any department or walk of life.
The facts are that GMail doesn't exist for most users. Google has waited too long between announcing the offering and producing something to be used.
"Invites" aside, the facts are that GMail does NOT yet exist since it is only available to those willing to buy an invite from EBay.
Google previously had the potential advantage of more storage --- and now it doesn't.
E-mail is the single largest traditional offering that a service provider may offer to encourage customer loyalty. Google offering such an advantage quickly may have caused quite a stir. This is because the "old regime" (MSN, Yahoo, AOL) may have to fight for the loyalty that they had won early in the game. This would have caused a lot of market movement and pressure.
Having seen this threat, they have adjusted. There is no longer a reason that a consumer should switch even if the option was actually available --- which it is not.
As a consumer of services, I no longer care about it. Frankly, it isn't worth talking about any longer. GMail is already dead in the water.

No team or individual athlete would risk disqualification in any way.
I would think that sponsoring countries would cover any litigation regarding their athletes' free-speech. But the first possible consequence is the sealed move of the issue.
I beleive the largest reason that MySQL is the favorite open RDBMS is that it is far easier to install on Windows. Once PostgreSQL has a good Windows port, the other features will be more appreciated.
Actually, I know of a man whose divorce from his wife was because she cheated on him with Yankovich. THAT is a sad, sad person. It was a painful memory for him, so I respected that and listened quietly.
I made no mention of the irony of losing his quiet family life --- he lost his house, kids, even his dog... to a nearly obscene parodist devoid of talent and a wife experiencing a gender-blind middle-age crisis.
What can be said, we used to live in a small town. Not too many "rock stars" come to them-there parts...
No current popular music is worth even a penny. Nothing involving the RIAA even makes me blink anymore; they don't deserve any of my attention, money, or help.
Agreed. But on different terms: I am a Canadian and this is a socialist country in which I have rights that America's poor can only consider a unreachable dream.
I have to say that it is better: corporate interests play less of a hand in our day to day lives within the letter of the law, for instance. Our political system has over 30 functioning parties due to the funds provided by the government for campaign and operations --- they actually are created by and represent the needs of their constituency because they have the means to do so.
This is unheard of in the US where leadership is clearly a rich man's [sic] sport.
My case is interesting: while I am a Canadian my father is a naturalized American due to work requirements He helped design a fighter jet engine and so was required to be a citizen due to the contracting work with the military --- that the needs of the US military should be the reason for his corporate sponsorship and then completed immigration may very well point to something useful about the climate of the US and its needs as a whole.
He lives in the US and is able to vote there. He considers it a priveledge, but has difficulty choosing as none of the choices have anything to do with his needs. He votes for the perceived most moderate in every election because he hopes that they will do the least damage.
If a person on the streets of Toronto is asked if they should have free health care, they will guffaw and state that this is a human right. In the US, the costs of health care have been estimated to be the third highest cause of poverty.
The US minumum wage, while functional more than twenty years ago, has long since failed to fulfill its purpose which is to keep a family of four out of poverty. Now, it is merely the federal definition of poverty that keeps people out of poverty.
The same is true of your government's definition of unemployment, please don't think for a second that the federal decision to no longer extend unemployment is for any reason other than your administration hoping that it will appear to be an improved job market. When the bulk of those with unemployment eligibility expire within months of the upcoming election.
Your country's populace will likely be wowed when the unemployment rate suddenly drops. What's more, your current administration will take credit for it, and get it.
News of this kind actually hits international press, although my guess is that it is usually understood quite differently...
Regardless, flame all you wish. It won't matter to me, but let this matter to you:
He's right, government workers only quit, retire, or die. There are no real pressure to perform unless there is political pressure.
For instance, in a grand gesture of security awareness, a quarter of a million airport security workers were laid off after September 11, 2001 and the responsibility was immediately sent to a private contractor.
No one could/can prove that this move was needed or useful rather than other changes to the security in airports --- but it was highly politically visible, for sure. This is an example of class scape-goating as it was unlikely that any of the group would defend themselves.
I still have yet to hear of any class-action lawsuits regarding this massive layoff.
You would have thought that something would come up --- especailly after a group of journalists successfully brought a hidden handgun into LAX within a month after the switch. Regardless, the point is accountability, and the dull truth is there is very little to go around in government.
