exactly It was easy to see why women were turned off. I'm sure if the guys realized how desperate and needy they came across, they'd be able to do a better job of hooking up. I think there is still a stigma attached to online dating that

1) Lists are a staple of Digg, and the quality of overall submissions has gone down on Digg, while the number of lists in general is on the rise. There may be a correlation here... lets not find out 2) See point 1 C) According to the follow

One of the things that I've noticed when researching this myself is that the majority of the time, people generally dont fill out their profiles too well - which I would suggest lessens their chances of someone finding them. Instead of tryi

Wow, what a negative attitude - at the risk of getting modded down to hell, I figured I'd address some of your points. Please understand that while this might be a confrontational retort, it is in no way meant to be a flame. A hobby is som

It amazes me that someone who is clearly talented at cracking networks (so by inference we could say he's quite intelligent) would believe that they would just store that kind of information on publicly connected networks - if it exists at

I'm going to lay the blame fairly and squarely on the Simpsons. Seriously. The show is the only mass market show that I can think of that is continually giving nuclear power (in general) a bad reputation and because of its popularity amongs

Another quote from the article: "What the scientists were able to estimate was the amount of energy necessary, if the technology was available, to change these dimensions: about 10^45 joules." That's the energy contained in (roughly) 22 x 1

I'm not sure if this is sarcasm or not, but Australia is far from depressed economically. I'm guessing by large portions, you mean the underpopulated areas of Australia? Around 80% of our Australia's population is spread amongst less than 2

As an Australian, I find it odd that Perth didn't rate as high as either Sydney or Melbourne which came in as 10th and 17th respectively. Perth ranked 21st overall but wasn't shown on the list associated with this link. Sure, Perth does not

That's exactly right. Look at World of Warcraft (WOW) vs most other mmog's, the language used by an average WOW user is much more coarse, yet WOW decimates other mmo's for subscription rates.

re: nameservers, it depends, most newer systems have it updating within about 4 hours, that being said, some ISP's DNS cached can be borked, so it can take up to 24-48 hours. You should really leave up your old site in parallel with the new
