circletimessquare has it right, at least as far as female preference. Women prefer it (though my wife oscillates periodically on this subject), it apparently looks more professional, and the average adult male has enough angular bone structure in his face to make it readily apparent that he isn't 14.
I suppose that explains why restaurants do that horrid clapping-and-chanting thing for people silly enough to announce their birthdays, instead of something simpler, more classy, and more easily ignored (like "Happy Birthday"). Darn you, ASCAP!
No, no, no. Mastication should be taught at home. By the time children get to school, they should be able to masticate for themselves. And if someone is trying to send to school a child who's too young too hold his own food (or tries to masticate other children), the child should be sent home to the parent until they both grow up some.
FTFS, which is FTFA: 'To reach the billion-dollar mark, the market will have to overcome the common wisdom that games are inherently not serious. A serious games market will also require game developers to shift from the traditional business-to-consumer model to a business-to-business one."
The first sentence I agree with. "The Market" will need to get over itself and the idea that products which are put to trivial uses must be trivial. The second sentence, however, does not follow logically from the first or from observable reality. We have a serious games market. It's a hybrid of B2B and B2C, with a lot of the end products (and the raison d'etre of the B2B types) coming from their B2C counterparts. Look at all the engine makers. If the original game engines (meant to be bought and played by end-users) had not succeeded, if the demand by gamers for games based on said engines did not exist, there would be no market for things like the Unreal and Quake engines. B2B game marketing is merely a new segment, not the whole of the market.
I can't speak for or about any place but Texas, but it seems to me that while more widely available, less expensive broadband would be a great boon to small, rural businesses all over the state - farmers and ranchers of all kinds could probably find ways to do their business better and faster if they had something more than a dedicated phone line for internet service - it seems to me to be an example of putting the cart before the horse. The state-run primary and secondary education system has been gutted by years of increasing emphasis on grade-level exit tests, so much so that the students themselves are aware of it now.
To put this post back on topic, your question seems to ignore the very real possibility that a person's place of business and place of residence are one and the same. This possibility increases as one moves out into rural areas, which are the least likely to have decent broadband availability.
I've got a theory, it could be witches, some evil witches, which is ridiculous because Wicca good and love the earth and woman power and I'll be other there.
Interestingly enough, Rowling seems to settle the ownership question fairly definitively when Neville Longbottom pulls a literal Gryffindor hat-track at the end of the book - one almost identical to the hat-trick Harry uses at the end of the Chamber of Secrets. So the goblin-made object truly belongs to the wizard who bought it.
I'll admit those wacky Brits spell "theatre" correctly. Everything else, however, should be re-written directly (Excepting, of course, anything before Webster: Milton, Marlowe, Pepys, and the Bard, We should treat rather like legacy code - Leave uncommented, unstandardized, ne'er updated; Enlightenment should come only to the dedicated).

Maybe they should tweak that process so that an infinite number of monkeys can produce results in finite time, then get them working on HURD.
Have you tried a spoonful of sugar?

I think you missed a chance at a +5 funny: "The Simpsons already did it."
Unless you were shooting for +5 insightful?

The word is "Rabbis". Two b's, no e. If you're going to flame people, kindly do it correctly.

I think the ACs got tired of being down-modded into oblivion.
I've got a theory, some kid is dreaming, and we're all stuck inside his wacky Broadway nightmare.

So, Reservoir Orcs?
Agreed. SDs are cool. Admiral Thrawn is cool squared. Ergo, Admiral Thrawn's SD is the cube of cool.
Chimera? Are we talking about the upside-down head kind or the croco-lion-wolf kind?
Sorry. You say Chimera and I think FMA.
But seriously, that's a very interesting question. Would that I still had mod points for the day.
Best of luck to you and him.

No, no. If it was Hiro's doing, the robot would need to shout "Yatta!" a lot.
