It's okay to be slightly more choosy than that. Best bet is to keep your mind open and understand what you're really looking for in a woman. And be realistic. If 'looks as hot as Angelina Jolie' is on your list, you better have either the looks or the bank account of Brad Pitt. Obviously, having both seems to have helped Brad out.;)
OTOH if all of a sudden I was for no reason apparent to myself attractive to women to the point that they were fighting over who I would let have sex with me, that would be VERY VERY DOUBLE PLUS GOOD! Worrisome, perhaps, but DAMNED GOOD.
Even so, there's nothing illegal about balaclavas (aka 'ski masks') in just about any jurisdiction in the Western world. You can buy them at department stores, Wal*Mart, sporting goods stores, sometimes even the convenience store down on the corner sells them.
People use them to keep their faces warm in the winter. Especially while doing something like, say, skiing.;)
Yeah, but you basically had to know that subscription rates were either going to go up rather steeply or they were going to have to introduce ads. Actually, though, adjusted for inflation, rates have pretty much stayed the same or actually fallenover the last 10 years while they have actually added more channels and more services, such as DVRs, digital picture and sound, interactive program guides and the ability to pay from your cable box (no more sending checks in the mail or stopping by at the cable office -- ever!)
I know I sound like a spokesman for the cable industry, but I'm not. Really. I don't even own any stock in cable. I'm just very, very satisfied with my service.
The only thing that really ticks me off is that I can't use my own box. It'll be very itneresting to see how this plays out.
Agreed. Unless you are an advanced user who makes advanced changes (like, say installing an LDAP server, OpenSLP, Kerberos, Samba, automount and the Linux CIFS client to give you more or less the equivalent of Active Directory;), installing Ubuntu (or a few other modern distros like OpenSuSE or Fedora), is by far easier than installing Windows XP or Vista.
But I wonder, more on-topicly, how difficult installing OS X is on a Psystar clone. Has anyone tried this? I ask out of pure self-interest, as in, when I get a few extra $$$, I might very well consider getting one of these just to play with.

He'd written a particle physics Monte Carlo sim using Bash and Linux command line tools (in particular, there were calls to bc everywhere).
Well, I, for one, welcome our new particle physicist bash programming overlord!
But how do they know that this new model is even correct? Or, let me put it this way.
The old assumption was that people could not grow beyond 3 ft. even as adults. Then we looked around the room and found lots of adults that were over 3 ft. But what if these were short adults in this room and none of them were over 5 ft. tall? We might conclude that all adults are between 3' and 5'.
But there's the rub: we can only see these adults in this room. What about the adults in other rooms? What about adults outside the building?

Be very careful what you wish for.

Of course not. You're in the wrong room, I'm afraid, this is abuse. Arguments are down the hall. Stupid git.
No, that's baklava. It's a Mediterranean pastry.
The word 'balaclava' actually once won me a Scrabble game. Really.
CmdrTaco is a Twitter sock-puppet.
Maybe Twitter is a CmdrTaco sock-puppet. ;)
You're not even towing the party line, given that Microsoft Office 2007 is supporting ODF now.
Have you even read the spec for the binary formats? Get a clue. They're also not implementable. (Surprise!)
It's not as if the spelling 'grey' isn't also commonly used in the United States by the native English speakers here.

But, um, a balaclava is a ski mask.
That doesn't explain articles tagged both 'signed' and 'unsigned'. If they're tagged as both, does that mean Slashdot aborts with a compiler error?
Oh yes...they try really hard to craft the perfect body text. I'd say they produce some of the best unintelligible ramblings around.
You mean aside from Slashdot readers, right?
a spam-free day is an occasion to praise my patron demon and bring Him an offering of hookers and blow
That might work, but I'll bet implementing SpamAssassin or [insert your favorite spam filter here] is much, much cheaper. ;)

Sarcasm missed. :/
BSD boxes don't use bash by default. If you want functional programming in the shell, get yourself a LISP machine. Or Emacs. ;)
...And this is why more parsers are written in Perl these days. /me ducks.
Wrong. Bash is the default shell Mac OS X, which is definitely Unix. Also on Cygwin and the Debian GNU/Hurd system, which is not Linux.
The United States is not going to be doing shit in this area, any more than the British, the French, the Spanish or the Romans are.
Romans? Rome is still a country? It never fell to invading Visigoths and indigenous peoples?
Wow. I guess I really misunderstood European history.
Ahhhh. I guess I misunderstood the ratio of sizes there. Thanks for clearing that up for me. That explains a lot.
