That's easy. Find three woman of your interest. Pick one, then have a third party find out which of the remaining two girls is not happy with you. Then ask the last girl out, by the virtual of 'let's make a deal' your chance have improved to 1/2.

want incredible entertainment experiences in your lap?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this was dumb.

The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel’s position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter.

It would be interesting for someone to do a calculation, of all of Intel's processors ever produced, exactly what percentage of cycles have been devoted to rendering pornographic images or videos on a server or a client. It has to be in the double digits.

But Intel, seriously: exactly what were you thinking when you launched an ad campaign revolving around two adults linked at the pelvis? Don't you know that your target market is still mainly young, immature, sex obsessed geeks? Didn't you figure out where this was going?

And if you did... genius!

apparently you didn't read to the end

Besides, the one with Lucy Liu is somewhat acceptable, at least to me.

We agree that there's overtones of sexuality. I personally thought the "genius" bit was being ironic.

yeah, it was, but there's also a sense of seriousness there too. It's not Intel's normal family style ad campaign, but what's wrong with that. They're really just embracing their market, adolescent minded engineers and students.

A web comic dialogue search engine. The MOTD will never be safe from people who want to know what the hell I'm talking about, now.

Canada is the Alderaan of North America!

Except they're still not indexing the series I got this from. Ha!

Those crazy French

As if a face transplant wasn't enough - apparently the donor and recipient both attempted suicide (donor was successful), and while the recipient was KO'd by sleeping pills, her dog ate her face.

At least Jonathan might be able to use this until it is expanded to other cities...

Actually, we're pretty well covered here already.

Probably a necessary precondition for having Google Transit. I'm still trying to figure out what exactly this gives me beyond the Trimet Trip Planner, other than the satellite mode of Google Maps.
