By definition, if you want to escape reality, you need to disconnect from it. How can you expect disney, the largest entertainment company in the world, to disconnect you from reality? By using hulu at all you're explicitly opting int

sure, people aren't static, and needs and wants change over time. sometimes they diverge. I certainly didn't mean that one should betray their own needs or boundaries to accommodate their spouse. My intent was more to convey tha

It's not a symmetric exchange though. One person has decidedly more capability to start a new life than the other. The 'severance' is intended to help them establish that new life (e.g., acquire training, housing, etc) If t

i don't think it's enough to just say "provide transactions" -- that's way too general. what sort of semantics would you want out of the transaction? atomicity? isolation? durability? how should concurrency behave
