You're right. A lot of people believe in 'love at first sight' - but it's not love - it's lust. Infatuation, lust and love and completely different things, and love is the only one that truly requires time to breed, since infatuation and lust can pretty much happen straight away. Though to be fair, it's just a misuse of the word love. Similar to the way people misuse the word hate.

Congratulations guys. Also, you're all noobs :D

ftfy amidoinitrite? That's what I meant. I hate Aluminum. On the other hand, I love Aluminium!

Aluminum.

It was supposed to be standardised, but that hasn't really happened. For instance, the dropping of 'u' in words like colour and humour, the dropping of the 'i' in Aluminium (which is a surprisingly complicated topic), and parking on a driveway + driving on a parkway in American English. Obviously, English is a far spread language, so it is subject to modifications and so forth. Also, the examples you give can easily be modified to sound correct when you change the voice of the construction. You're using the active voice, whereas passive would give you a better sentence, e.g. The dog bite victim was helped by the Police. Although the passive voice generally complicates matters, but the object is said to have been 'acted upon' by the subject (compared to active voice whereby the subject acts upon the object, in that order), in certain cases, it can be used to clear up any ambiguity in sentence construction. @fakeitormakeit2 - You've overcomplicated that sentence. Like riku wrote, you can simplify it down quite easily into 'How many children does your sister have?' It doesn't have the same formality about it, but I'm sure you will manage fine.

Saw this as well, and I assumed it meant GP, not actual money. To be honest though, if someone wants to buy that much membership for 30 minutes worth of a 2.5% increase every 24 hours. In my opinion, that is not worth it. But yes, they are making RuneScape a buyable game, despite claiming not to be doing that. Sigh.

@Sy, The text says: 'An eagle In your mind' My preference is the 6th one (2nd from the bottom).

I like being mainstream because not being mainstream is too mainstream these days.

People who complain about being at work. You don't have to be there - I'm sure the management team would be happy to replace you with a more motivated worker. 'Yeah but I need the money' is not an acceptable excuse for complaining about being at work. People work for money, not just you. People get paid more by being pro-active, rather than miserable, annoying, petty and pathetic layabouts. [/rant]

Nevermind. Found a plugin for WinAmp that lets you control WinAmp that is on a computer on the network. Works pretty well, so problem solved :P

I have an old desktop computer which i would like to put to another use. The soundcard inside it is of better quality than my laptop's, and was therefore intending on using it to play music through (as well as for photography backups and the like). I was therefore wondering whether anyone knows how one would go about using my laptop to control a music player on my desktop. I assume it would be as easy as synching up a media player (my favourite would be winamp but i would use anything that would support the feature i am after). Tl;dr: Need advice on using a laptop to control a desktop. Any advice on this matter would be helpful.

I do not in anyway condone child pornography, but, if 'hiker' is telling the truth, and the offence was a small one committed a decade and a half ago, I really do think Jagex have dropped the ball on this one, in terms of judgment. Okay, so he has a record because of some actions committed a fair time ago, and he runs a RuneScape community (which, we can all admit does attract users under the age of 18), and as such this could be seen as a problem. However, Jagex really had no need to debase him like that. Remove the gold status, fine. But effectively destroying the reputation of a website because of actions that occurred over a decade before its creation? Doesn't seem right to me. The really could have just stated 'We have removed RuneVillage's gold fansite status due to personal conflict' or some-such. Doesn't take that much to avoid the entire issue. But no, being the cads they are, Jagex decide to ruin not only this man's position in the eyes of RuneScape players, but also the reputation of RuneVillage. It's a double edged sword, and to be honest, I really hope the fool who posted that on the RuneScape forums is ashamed of what he/she has done. I can see why Jagex would want to remove the Gold status, and I agree with it. However, in the business world, and personal world, you don't deal with things by airing dirty laundry. It's actually shameful and disgusting to see this. I really hope with all my heart that no-one at Jagex decides to change career path and become a writer or journalist... (oh and just to make it crystal clear, I AM NOT saying that what he did was right or moral, as it clearly wasn't). EDIT: My suggestion to what Jagex could have done, is removed the gold status with an obfuscated post, then discussed a course of action with the site owner & admins. This could have left a satisfactory closure and one that didn't involve the disrepute or both Jagex and RuneVillage.

As a place to have fun, I enjoy it. But I don't really consider ever having a meaningful relationship with anyone I have met inside a club.

Almost everyone at the club (assuming it's not just a high class bar) will be tipsy to absolutely smashed, so it makes relatively little difference whether you are or not. [hide=Read if you want to]Pretty all of the communication you make will be physical and not verbal, so you will have to get up close and personal (but not in a creepy or unwarranted way. Basically, don't just start grinding on every female). I've actually 'tested' the physical/verbal thing in a 'high-end' club (Cafe De Paris in London, if anyone is interested), and the initial physical contact was aided by a wingman (he 'accidentally' forced my hand into her posterior. I do not recommend this though, since this was done on someone who was sitting down, not dancing), when she turned around, we started chatting about inane crap (because the music was loud, it actually matters very little what you say, which is my point), but I built up the physical contact through touching, and eventually dancing. Basically, just be confident. If you can show that you're confident in everything you do, that will be your way in. If you get rejected, don't worry about it, just move onto the next one.[/hide] This sounds really seedy, but it is literally just how simple it is to do it.

Mark Gerhard?

Amongst the people who go to my uni: Hot = "I want to have sex with her." Cute = "I would have sex with her if she was up for it" Beautiful = "I am going to go out of my way to have sex with her" Perfect = "Sex with her would be perfect" I'm sure it isn't too different elsewhere. But of course, it depends on the guys you know. A lot of the guys at I know are essentially douchebags, but you get a couple who are like what you mentioned previously.

Dressing for clubbing is basically function over form. You aren't going to want to wear a thick shirt with a jumper or cardigan if you're dancing like a maniac. Generally, I will wear some decent shoes (not too formal, but basically anything that isn't sports shoes/sneakers. Plimsolls are fine), jeans (not too baggy, but not skintight, since you want some space), t-shirt/shirt, and if I'm wearing a t-shirt, I will occasionally add a thin cardigan - it stands out, and doesn't make you sweat a lot more. Really though, anything that isn't 'too casual' or 'too formal' is okay for general clubbing - unless you are referring to a more sophisticated club.

I watched Lion King. Despite being the person who cries at every sad movie, it didn't hold the impact like when I was a kid. Shame really. Those I was teary eyed for about an hour throughout.

Watching the Lion King - It's been 10 years since I last watched it, so watching it again to see if it has that same impact.

I have noticed it, but it's more subtle. Generally, when I 'work out' (I say work out, but it comes naturally) that I would like to be in a relationship with someone, I generally start paying them more attention - not acting out of character as such, but let that person come into a larger part of my life (not putting on the pedestal etc, but wanting to spend more time with her etc). When I am not interested in anyone, my social interactions probably seem more fluid and spread out, which is attractive in its own way. Again, this is complicating something simple, but that's how I would explain it.

For some reason my upper body seems to lack the thicker black hair that my legs have. My arms are covered in quite thin blond hair (which I don't mind) and my chest is devoid of hair. On the plus side, it saves veeting it off.

Failure - Enjoy The Silence (Depeche Mode cover)

I'm not shy, but I have a stutter. Not a horrific one, but it can occasionally be noticed. It takes a lot of preparation to cool down enough to keep my thoughts keep, and thusly the words that spew forth from my mouth.
