Well, how do we keep U.S. male virgins occupied?
Clearly we need a Chinese version of slashdot.

According to the developer's website, it will not use the San Juan River.
Lake Nicaragua is freshwater, though. I can't see using it without dramatic environmental impact on that lake.
I was thinking more like a General Products Hull.
Given the typical programmer's social skills, it's due to lots of practice.
No, I'm saying the term is generic. Whether or not Apple (or possibly NeXT?) used the abbreviation app first, it's widely used, an obvious slang term for application, and used as a distinct noun, and Wikipedia et al do not associate it with Apple.

I think it's been used elsewhere for a bit.
I think it's more:
1) Will never cheat
2) Will cheat given the opportunity
3) Will cheat in times of stress, depression, weakness (a revenge affair, for ex.) if there is an opportunity.
Social networking makes it more likely group 3 will cheat, as it is more likely they will have an opportunity when they are vulnerable.
It doesn't excuse the affair, and doesn't make the other person feel any better about it; it just makes the 3s statistically more likely to cheat than if they were, say, living on an isolated farm in Montana in the 1880s.
You do realize the fellas have to cheat with someone, don't you? And I don't think the closet cases are anywhere near the majority.
I suppose you could claim it's married men and unmarried women, but there are certainly lots of unmarried men who are more than willing to sleep with married women.
Thank you for your kind thoughts, but I really do think it's too late for him. For my wife's sake, I hope for one for me. For my mother's sake, I hate to think this way, but... well, I won't say it, just think it.
As a general rule, my father doesn't seem scared, just confused, although he's had a strange paranoia about money. This despite a generous retirement pension/savings/etc.
Not only does this give an actual test for Alzheimers, it also means that there's a definitive symptom for it. Wipe out the cause of that symptom and maybe you can stop or reverse the progression of this horrible affliction.
My father is already at the moderate dementia stage of this illness, and it's devastating. Not so much for him as it is for my mother.
The industry has moved away from "more horsepower than you'll ever need!" to "uses less power than you can ever imagine!"
As someone who still spends way too much time waiting for computers to finish tasks, I think there's still room for both. What we really want is CPUs that are lightning-fast and likely multi-parallel (and not necessarily low-power) for brief bursts of time, and low-power the rest of the time.
My CPU load (3Ghz Core 2 Duo) is at 60% right now thanks to a build running in the background. More power, Scotty!
one option would be to put induction cables into the road, so that the car can be charged while driving.
Taxi stands could have built-in charging cables for electric taxis.
1.21 gigawatts? Great Scott!
The only goat I've ever had seemed like it had a high proportion of bone, grisle, etc. for a given amount of goat meat. Is this typical or was it just a cheap cut?
Hey its whatever your plan is say 50 bucks plus 10 bucks an additional line, and 30 bucks for data (for the iphone) per iphone as well so if you have two iphones thats 60 bucks for data, man per iphone talk about nickel and dime-ing you to death
More like tenning and twentying you to death, I'd say...
