The distance BETWEEN 4.0 and 3.3 is 0.7 (between is always the absolute value). The distance FROM 3.3 TO 4.0 is also 0.7. Only the instance TO 3.3 FROM 4.0 is -0.7.
The backstory is core in World of WarCraft. Hell, it out dates the game by more than a decade. BUT, WoW is dominated by men and men playing women. Sure, I know a few actual, real females that play but they're in a pretty darn small minority.
I know two females you play or played WoW, and about four males (all of whom are disgusting). Not such a bad ratio.
Also, you still power leveling and loot envy going on. I think it's more the adolecent male behavior that keeps women away from games.
This isn't at all a reason. When you port software, there should be a basic effort made to follow the conventions of the target system. The truth is Gaim is just a mess in this regard on every platform, even Gnome. Trillian also craps all over conventions. The only solid AIM client out there that behaves itself is Adium, and it goes so far beyond that is well. Things like Adium, Quicksilver, etc, will keep me on the Mac platform for a long time.
What gives you the right to have other people subsidize your enjoyment? The problem is too many people they are "entitled" to what they want even at the expense of others. Terms like fairness are often used and if that doesn't work discrimination and disenfranchisement are then employed.
Okay then, but when you're old and break a hip, don't expect any taxpayers to pick up the tab.
On the flip side, because they don't help you dig out speech as well as they should (it's like having 25% of the consonants you hear be wrong), you have to ask people to repeat themselves, which not only makes you look ignorant, but instead of actually repeating themselves, people will say, "Oh, nevermind" or "It's not important." Bull; if it weren't important, you wouldn't have bothered to say it, and I still want to know what you said.
As someone who has a hearing-imparing sibling, please do not take such comments as "oh nevermind" personally. It usually isn't that they're bored with you or are sick of repeating themselves. Usually it is that what they said just honestly wasn't worth repeating. They said it just to fill a gap of silence, and when asked to repeat it they honestly feel silly because it was such a vacuous comment. I know it can be frustrating, but try and let it go when this happens. Usually, when they say it isn't important, it really isn't. For people you talk to on a more regular basis, just let them know that you'd appreciate them actually repeating things when you ask them to. If they're half-way decent people, they should be more than happy to.
What about a 12" iBook or Powerbook? Very nice keyboards (IMHO), and a decent display for a 12". Slap on Ubuntu or whatever you like and you're good to go.
Try MPlayer instead. It has a problem where the menu bar changes (heaven forbid) depending on if you have the playing window selected or the controller window selected (the former menubar is mostly just blank I think), but overall it is less painful. I use it over VLC on OS X.
Massive corporations paying everyone under the sun to get their candidate elected is not "free speech". And there are definitely acceptable limitations on free speech. What about harassment? What about inciting a riot? What about threatening someone? Divulging trade secrets? These are all things that the government limits.
"Free speech", like anything else, is a means to an end.
Did you even read my rationale, or did you just decide the most "freedom" is always best? I suppose no one should be able to tell you not to rape, murder, and steal as well? Not all rules are bad.
WINE will not run on a Mac. As Wine Is Not an Emulator, you need to run it on an x86-y platform. Once the new intel-based Macs come out, WINE should be just fine. Hey, that's a rhyme. Ah shit, again this time! Wht.. wuA>... AHH!!
Surely people should NOT be able to pay to have ads for some politician in the paper. Do you really want to mafia or Haliburton or whomever legally able to pay for ads to be placed in newspapers? At least if they donate directly to the candidate, there is a record (ideally) of every single donation in one place, and it can be made public record. If you let everyone pay to put ads in the papers or on TV, no one would have any idea who's paying what for whom. It would be way too open to abuse; Whichever candidate represented the richest people would get the most exposure.
Furthermore, politicians should have their advertising budgets capped and paid for by the government. Yes, it is spending tax payer money to finance campaigns, but the net result is a much more fair and democratic system, and that is a very worthwhile way to spend taxpayer dollars in my opinion. Fifty million to get the message about candidates (including 3rd party candidates) is NOTHING compared to the billions of dollars we waste every year due to rich bastards like Bush getting into office. Let's spend a miniscule amount to ensure an better candidate.
As any GPL fan will tell you, it isn't about "freedom to", it is about "freedom from".

They're also very insecure and tend to lash out at others who demonstrate traits that they themselves have and hate. ... What were you saying again?
Anal sex IS nice because it works on all genders... I find your signature very confusing.
Just keep your two cents to yourself -- The Party will take it later when they need it anyway.
modded this "troll"? Clearly this is a variant on the usual "4k should be enough..." thing. It is a JOKE.
No.

Not just females -- Me as well.
Seriously. If I see one more RPG where I have to kill rats to level up (except Fallout), I will lose it.
I love Fallout...

Jesus man, why do all classical musicians and theorists need to be such fucking wanks? Chill out.
You're cute! Tee hee. :D

Can you give me an example of where Communism was ever even implemented?
It is true that MPlayer lacks "design", but I'd take no design to poor design any day of the week.
As someone who refuses to drink any alcohol and has Marx quote in his sig, I hereby declare that.. er.. your mom!

Even if irony isn't lost on Americans, a bit of friendly ribbing almost always is. Lighten up Americans. And yes, I live in New York...
