Can you elaborate a little on the subtle compatibility issues you've found?

I was actually thinking of it the other way around, the comfort factor of a girl that I assumedly don't know very well being offered my ear buds and the potential awkwardness that this may engender, regardless of the actual condition of my

... Then Steve Jobs recommended simply giving one earbud to the girl. Not to disregard or in any way invalidate your point, which has been taken, but did Steve have a solution for the possible ear wax issue, or does his famed reality dist

Some years ago I watched a fascinating documentary on Jean Giraud (Moebius), one of the visionaries mentioned here that Jodorowsky gathered under his banner for a time. Before watching this film, I had no real idea how all these guys who we

I get what you mean. Maybe I was inaccurate when I talked about the Xenophon/Fielding thing in the present tense. I think that if there was any idea of courting Fielding/Xenophon, it was attempted much earlier than the ETS business. I remem

I do think that it originates from there, yes. Although I'm sure there are also those who may not believe in the cause and are only using these issues for their own political purposes. I suspect for example that one of the main reason's tha

Nobody is really sure where all this (plus the internet censorship) is coming from. In a word, it comes from fear. Fear that the badies are going to blow us up while we sleep. Fear that the sexual deviants will molest us, or more likely j

When you sign up for a 2GB per month plan with AT&T, they are counting on the fact that you won't actually use that 2GB Maybe people just don't like being lied to?

Indeed, but I was referring to the part of the comment that describes the women as needing to be rich (and young and beautiful).

by jonny_noog 17y ago
Curious as to why they have to be rich if the primary goal is no-strings-attached sex? If the assumed hope is that one could mooch off this rich, young, beautiful women a little before engaging in the no-strings-attached sex and taking one'

I read the original article from The Globe and Mail with much interest the first time it appeared on HN. I have now also read Colin Rose's assessment. Obviously it's pretty early days and I am all for being cautious and skeptical. I don't w

I'm not aware of the profitability of Fox News specifically or any of the Fox related ventures, I not surprisingly have no interest in such things. No doubt what you're saying is not outside the realms of possibility though. But I guess I f

For better or worse, Fox (ergo, Fox News) is shown just about everywhere, dude. Fox News is shown in Australia as one of the channels included with Foxtel pay TV. I had to go to Papua New Guinea for work last month, turned on the TV at the

Firefox was not immediately available for comment. ... Hopefully the non-sentient Internet browser will have something to say for its self a bit later on.

You seem to contradict yourself: Personally I'd expect that line to work better on "good quality" girls, actually. Especially pretty girls that know they look good. Uh huh. With really beautiful and/or confident girls you're more likely

I'm pretty sure of it dude, looks matter, period. Although I don't think there's any denying that personality generally seems to factor more heavily in what is attractive to a woman as opposed to what is attractive to a man, Ill certainly g

What was the quality of the women who responded favorably to this line? :P I think it's also worthy to note that the origin makes a huge difference. If you e.g. have an underwear model trying that line on a woman, it will no doubt succeed m

So I was reading through the PDF you linked to and I came to this: Consider also the spread of sex education courses through schools in the United States. The assumption is that you can change attitudes and behavior about sex through some

None of what you've said changes the fact that you're arguing for an absolute viewpoint. Porn == bad, no exceptions (unless I misunderstand you) and absolute viewpoints oversimplify the issues they pertain to. I also don't agree with you th

This kind of binary, authoritarian view of any subject really gets my goat up. Who are they (the writer you cite) or you to be judging and telling anyone else how they should be living their life? Because face it, that's exactly what they'r

Bearing in mind that there's a good chance that her prospective future employer probably couldn't describe the task even that well, I'd be willing to give her a pass on that one. If I was the prospective employer, it would actually serve a

Ubuntu or Windows seems like a limited dichotomy you've just imposed on yourself. There's more than two options out there. What about other Linux distros? What about BSD? If you're looking for something that's pretty, there's still no going
