That was fast!

Thank you! :-)

It is far more likely to "solve" the problem and make her happier, which is what you really want. I use both Macs and PC's. I bought a Lenovo G560 from NewEgg.com for $399, and it was a terrific deal. The best I could find anywhere, and it is a pretty fast Windows 7 PC.

It doesn't seem to be very popular, in spite of all of the recruiting bonuses!

increase their billable hours.

I lived and worked in Europe for a year, where customers generally don't tip much, and was constantly surprised by how poor the service was. Their attitude was that I was fortunate to be able to eat at all! In the US, I generally get what I ask for, they bring it quickly, and with a pleasant attitude. This is the difference between an incentive based system, and one where the servers don't care. I know that tips are expected in the US, and factor that into my choices, and I'm happy to reward them for excellent service!

With all due respect, I used to have an HP ink jet printer, and refilled the cartridges *hundreds* of times over the course of a decade, before the paper feeding mechanism became unreliable, and I stopped using the printer.

I used ordinary fountain pen ink. It worked perfectly!

As another poster pointed out, why does HP need to put proprietary chips in their cartridges to keep people from refilling them?

I think it is telling that I no longer use HP ink jet printers, because I feel their policies are blatantly anti-consumer, short-sighted, and eco-unfriendly, and I vote with my wallet!

The question should be "How can we improve airline travel?", rather than "Can we make air travel safer?". It isn't possible to make air travel much safer without inconveniencing travelers even more. Instead, how about making air travel reasonably safe and more enjoyable? What a concept, eh?

I use SplashID on my iPhone and Mac Mini. I wish it also worked on Linux and Windows, but having it on two platforms (and especially one which I always have with me) has been very handy.

That's what I did, and it sure helped my love life enormously! Of course, I was almost a virgin at the time, and terribly inexperienced, but it really opened my heart and taught me a lot in a hurry (and very pleasurably, too). They are offered by the Human Awareness Institute in a variety of locations around the world, but near the Bay Area in California is the nexus. Also, note that it is not called the "Sex, Sex, and Sex Workshop". These people do an incredibly good job of walking their talk, and it is Sex, Love and Intimacy.

Try doing fun things in real-life. For example, I got into playing Ultimate Frisbee, rock climbing, sky diving, and other sports I was excited about. Being happy and full of energy, in contrast to being depressed about my rotten love life made a huge difference in my attractiveness to women.

Expand your horizons beyond geekettes. There are relatively few *available* hot, geeky girls.

Try being generous -- offer to take a woman out to dinner and quietly pick up the check.

Be willing to date a woman who is less young or less thin than you thought you were looking for. I've had some amazing, wonderful and long-lasting relationships with women who I wouldn't have thought I'd have fallen in love with.

Dancing is also a good one. I've been taking salsa lessons, and there are several good looking girls for each guy who comes to class! :-)
