  1. Gandalf & Picard?
  2. Oh sure- wrap the student in an iPhone, iPad and a MacBook. At several grand plus connectivity costs, who can afford that but blue-bloods?
  3. I ain't buying until they have cleaned it up. Typically, I don't buy stuff with DRM built in and I hate stuff that has top run online using an agent like Steam.
  4. The answer to this question is "Yes", "No" and "Maybe". Yes. There are promiscuous gay people out there. They are usually not very well adjusted and probably won't identify themselves as gay. Go out. You'll meet one. They'll tell you that they are not really gay they just want you to **** their living brainz out. Living in the bible belt, I see this sort six times a day and a dozen times on Sunday. They are really messed up because they are trying to live in several mutually exclusive worlds at once- the gay hook up scene, marriage and/or religion. When these guys crash, they crash and burn. They leave a lot of devastation behind. When they get caught doing something UN-natural with six trucker and Billy-goat at a rest stop, they destroy or damage many lives. NO. Sane gay people learned a lot of painful lessons from the HIV epidemic. I lost more friends than I want to even think about. In a way I am surrounded by a lot of ghosts. I've made myself pretty ill trying to figure out why I'm still alive and they're gone. It's a dumb ass virus. Why it kills Joe and Kevin and passes by Steve is simply a matter of probability and behavior. If you are SAFE, you probably won't be sorry. The simple truth is that our behavior really has changed a great deal in the last few decades. More and more gay people are less and less willing to settle for Mr. Right-Now.. Maybe. How exactly do you define promiscuous? Four a decade? Four a year? Four a month? Four a week? Four a day? I don't care for those sorts of value judgements. In the end, it's really nobody's business but your own. I have screwed around and not screwed around. I find that my life works best when I simply live it and quit keeping score.
  5. I guess he does feel respected. However- prior to this season Flacco was anything but an elite quarterback. What if he returns to average?
  6. that rocks oh froggy one.
  7. For the first time a baby is cured of HIV http://www.gaystarnews.com/article/first-time-baby-cured-hiv030313 Doctors announce newborn was cured of HIV infection 03 March 2013 -James Withers The doctors of an HIV infected baby have announced they have cured the child. As reported by the New York Times, the infant was born in rural Mississippi (a southern US state). Antiretroviral drugs were administered approximately 30 hours after birth. This type of procedure is uncommon with newborns, but could turn into standard procedure if the case is confirmed. This is the second case of a patient cured of HIV. The first was Timothy Brown, called the 'Berlin Patient' in medical literature. The middle-aged man, who had leukemia, received a bone-marrow transplant from someone who was genetically resistant to HIV. 'For pediatrics, this is our Timothy Brown,' Dr. Deborah Persaud, associate professor at the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center and lead author of the report on the baby said to the New York Times. 'It’s proof of principle that we can cure HIV. infection if we can replicate this case.' The mother gave birth prematurely, in a rural hospital, in 2010. She had no medical care during the pregnancy and did not know she was HIV. Initial tests showed the child might be infected and treatment was started approximately a day later. Virus levels quickly dropped and were nearly undetectable a month later. Some researchers are skeptical, wondering if the patient actually had the virus. 'The one uncertainty is really definitive evidence that the child was indeed infected, Dr. Daniel R. Kuritzkes, chief of infectious diseases at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, said to the newspaper. The unmanned child's physicians will report their findings tomorrow, 4 March, at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections.
  8. The tragic stupid part of it is the number of blind fanatics that believe anything these "holy" buttholes say.
  9. Already have one. Better question might be- who is considering publishing to the kindle.
  10. Titanic was a poor design to start with and rushed through construction. Building her as an exact replica would be exceptionally foolish. If they are going to spend that kind of money, the smart thing to do is to use modern methods and do the replica where the passengers are. An exact replica would have poor steel, bad watertight compartmentalization, coal fired boilers, steerage accommodations and not nearly enough lifeboats. Fix the problems with the design. Use diesel turbine engines instead of coal. Have modern safety systems and communications. The original Titanic was a very shiny POS from an engineering standpoint.
  11. Come on guys! Nobody wants to see the Philippines? I'd like to live in the Philippines for a while just to explore the place. They have a volcano inside of a lake inside of a volcano inside of a lake. The geek in me could spend a decade or two just looking at that trying to figure out how it happened. Not to mention the reefs of Palawan or waters so deep and clear.
  12. Old saying: birds seldom build nests on bare trees.
  13. This sounds like one of those stories we used to read and think: yeah right. Like that would ever happen. I am pleased to have lived long enough to see that it actually has.
  14. I think that it is very telling that every high profile shooter was either on or recently stopped staking an SSRI medication. I have to wonder about that and why we're not talking about banning those medications.
  15. I want one... our gas stations just have gas and greasy burritos that cause gas.
  16. I agree with JoAnn. You should blog more. My condolences on your loss. Never heard of See Candy but I will order a custom batch for me mum come mothers day.
  17. In some places you have to go to what is there. In many places Walmart is literally the only game in town. It kills its local competitors by flooding the market with cheap junk from China.
  18. I'll have you know that discriminating shopper in Mississippi go to Tar' get.
  19. that why we call them n00bs
  20. WTF was that!?
  21. Proof positive that the meaning of a bad day is relative.
  22. all of that labor sounds like a lot of work.
