There's plenty of non firsts who succeeded
iPhone, macbook, iPad, iPod iMac. Are you noticing a pattern here?

Replying from a work machine still running an XP SOE.

I'm fat and I get up at 6:00 and am generally at work before the sun comes up. It must be because I'm lazy, and not because I commute and work stupid hours.

To be fair, Ballmer seemed to be modeled on Dino.

Burning some mod points to respond - I think if you read the opinion pages and editorials of The Age you would have a different view of them supporting the Mad Monk's government. They get accused pretty heavily of being left leaning Labour party supporters. It's Murdoch's Newscorp who are the rabid LNP supporters.

I used to do consulting for Xerox, it was fairly typical for hospitals to depreciate hardware (such as beds, autoclaves, photocopiers) over 20 years. You can't even get parts for copiers after that amount of time, you are generally relying on 3rd party refill kits for toner and other consumables. From memory 10 years was pretty standard for printers.

How long did it take for the side effects to stabalise? My husband recently started taking this and is struggling a bit (though not in the same way that he was imploding before starting them).

It's called the Crusader. I was going to link directly to the Bliz gameplay guide but was still getting the press release in my hasty search string.

That got patched in later, it was originally the Skeleton King that had a guaranteed Legendary drop. I know my husband didn't get a legendary on Diablo the first 2 times he killed her (spoilers sweetie ;P ) since loot 2.0.

He has had a bucket of legendaries drop overall though. And at least 1 set item. I got a plans for a L21 Set the other night, not sure if they would be worth making for an alt. Given how quickly you level now, they would be replaced before I could earn the materials back. Might make them just to have them in the transmog panel.

And the always popular: "The cleaners are due tomorrow, I really must tidy up when I get home form work tonight."

I thought it was a commonly believed position that the reason penalties make for bad deterrents is that most crimes are committed either on the spur of the moment or by people who don't believe they will get caught. Either way - they don't expect the penalty to apply to them.

If you look at the stats for how many homicides go unsolved, it's really scary that one of the crimes with the biggest social taboos and possibly one of the highest penalties, goes unpunished so often.

Generally Sunday is my most productive day. Getting done all the stuff I put off from Saturday that had to be done.

Why is it that house work is never 'finished'?

I'm having flashbacks to the Fresh Prince of Bel Air - there have been plenty of TV representations of black families that are not 'Ebonics' ghetto dwellers.

As someone who doesn't live in the US, I honestly couldn't tell you if the Cosby show or The Wire is a more accurate picture of the typical experience of a someone growing up as an African American. I'm not sure how many non-blacks could tell you that either.
