I've had it happen to me - I guess on two occasions. I was shocked, It felt repulsive (because a drunk woman 30 years older than you grabbing for your balls trying to stick her tongue into you mouth is hardly attractive). It didn't feel goo

I work in a company like that - and the system sucks - especially now in downturn. Here's why: 1. Some managers (of sub-par mind you) teams scored whole their team as "excelent" - as to compensate for lack of company success. Then when the

Heh... that has been said many times in history. You can't whatevernize China. China is just waking up from a 100 or so years of slumber (or catharsis) into its rightful place in the world.

What frustrates me most is that I keep meeting people who seem to know less about their respective fields than one would expect them to, or they should at least know more about them than I or some other laic does.

I have - so what you're trying to get across is that the only difference between culture (driving or otherwise) in first and third world countries is in lack of necessary regulations in third world (traffic signs included)? I call bullshit

I can't really remember Duncan being a bully?

I have been bullied and I have also been a bullie myelf (frist the former then the latter). Your advice is sound. Bullie "smells" the weakness - indeed they never pick on challenges, they always look for victims. So the only way out is not

Reading first and second Dune trilogy would give you a lot of what you are asking for. Also I would recommend reading Alamut from Vladimir Bartol. For more serious works - I would offer Machiavelli's Discourses on Livy.

Oh my god... This is so awesome! Call me stupid - but I am one of those persons who was unaware of MDC - and to be honest Mozilla sites hierarchy can be hard/impossible to traverse for the un-initiated. I was wishing so much to find somethi

I'm not missing anything - like I said Google at present is unable of such strong focus/commitement. But... If google were headed by Steve Jobs or Larry Ellison - like persona, then you could see what I mean :)

What keeps bothering me is - why nobody sees the danger Google represents to Facebook. I mean if Google wanted to - they could IMHO mow down Facebook. They have waaaay more personal information about all the Facebook users that are also Goo

It's also interesting how people try to establish causality for drug use with lack of mental ability. Drugs are no good for sutpid people - the ones that get most out of them are smart people. For drugs to get the most effect being smart he

I have no idea - I'm not from US. I'm an extreme athlete - and I'm in a circle of "jocks" (most extreme athletes are like that), so I understand how this kind of "young male" groups work and what dynamics are involved.

You are a lady I presume? Actually I find ball busting a form of art. I know a couple of people that are so good at it that they actually sense your comfort level - and maneuver right below the treshold. This is the kind of people you call

I was in your shoes once. Now I'm widely considered as one of most socially apt/spontaneous people in any group. By all means - be bold. Heed my advice that fear is good while phobias are bad. You should embrace fear - since fear is what wi

"There’s no question that the government is resolved to at least try to re-create Greek civic life. The only question is: Can such a thing, once lost, ever be re-created?" I reccomend reading Machiavelli's Discourses to anyone interested in

Could you elaborate on what their complaints are? To me its waaaay better than Sharepoint - which we also used. And it is way more suitable for "non-technical" and "non-wikisavvy" users than e.g. MediaWiki.

As a Confluence user I have to second that. For a small team Confluence is an even more "no-brainer" than MediaWiki, etc...

Just an suggestion. If you made this as Atlassian Confluence Plugin AND/OR Atlassian JIRA Plugin -> We'd ve more than willing to buy into your idea.

Why is economy stalling considered so bad? Would it be so much better if they just spent everything? Why is more production, consumption and pollution considered good? Can't you see that taking wealth of Warren Buffet and distributing it am

Because I see it everyday. Hell I've got a sister that couldn't save a dime if she made a billion dollars a day. I know it's a circular argument - but because if they (or their parents) could manage resources better they wouldn't be poor -

This is probably one of most important lessons taught by my mother: "A person making a million dollars a month but spending million and one dollar is not a wealthy person". This is why "unfair" wealth distribution is actually good (please n

All valid points. But I can't really see myself moving on to other browsers... Just because of 2 plugins: 1. Mouse gestures, OK - Chrome has them now but now the second one is a gamebreaker. 2. TreeTabs - I just cant browse without it anymo

If you're an entrepreneur you'd also figure that there is a very good reason for such discrepancy in price. Then you'd identify and account for reasons (organs go bad, quality might be this or that way, risk of getting caught, logistics,...

Depends of position. If dealing with peer or higher-level "politicians" - I refuse to play their game, even if beneficiary to me at the time. While I simultaneously point out any transgressions of theirs. Sooner than later they screw up - s
