10/30   emacs question...  For Chinese pin-yin input, how to enter
        word like nv (female)?  they don't let me use "v" as unlaut-u
        thanks in advance
        \_ for normal pin-yin, it's nuu
           \_ thanks, i figured out.  It's not "uu,"  it's
              "u:" to mimic the unlaut.  make more sense, i guess.

10/30   Have you ever had a relationship, gone to being "friends", and
        then gone back to relationship status? Or heard of anyone you
        know having done this?
        \_ This is called being a "fuck buddy".
        \_ I'm sure this happens.
        \_ Yes, and dear god was it a mistake.  There is a reason you broke
           up in the first place.
           \_ what if they mostly were her reasons, not mine? also she's hot.
              \_ It happens and it can last longer than the initial
                 relationship, especially if said relationship was done in
                 by time-dependent circumstances (e.g. long distance,
                 not over someone else, immaturity).  The naysayers are
                 right in one sense though:  Make sure it's official if
                 that's what you want.
              \_ Then fuck her if you feel like it but you're not in a real
                 relationship anymore and should always put her last behind
                 absolutely everyone and everything else.
                 \_ And post pics.
           \_ I second this.
              \_ How about breaking up, becoming friends, and then sleeping
                 with them once in a while?
                \_ Fuck buddies.
                   \_ aaron and lila?
                      \_ I know nothing about aaron and lila.  I was only
                         providing the name for what that person was talking
                         about: fuck buddies.
                         \_ you don't have to break up first to be fuck buddies.
                      \_ you're not serious. --aaron
                         \_ hey man, i don't know him, but he sounds serious
                         to me. -- some random dude
                \_ As long as it's mutually agreed that there's no attachment
                   but rather just simply sleeping together then it would be
                   okay. But IME there aren't too any women who can promise
                   that they won't develop a certain kind of attachment. There
                   ARE some, but like I said, not many. I wish you luck.
                        \_ what does sleeping together have anything to do
                           with emotional attachment? Does that mean if I
                           jackoff to a porn star I will start loving her or
                           if I sleep with the hooker we'll both become
                           emotionally attached? Your logic makes very little
                           sense.
                           \_ I said I was talking about the girl, you idiot.
                              And notice I said SOME. Stop generalizing and
                              read the comments more carefully.
                           \_ johns become emotionally attached to hookers
                              all the time.
                                \_ Get lost, it's meaningful.  Kandee is
                                   a really nice girl.  -John
                           \_ Strawman.  He didn't say either of them was
                              getting off alone to a screen pic or movie.
                              They're having sex.  Maybe you're not a strawman
                              bashing troll but a poor sad pathetic motd virgin
                              who really honestly believes getting off to a
                              porn star or paying a hooker is the same as
                              having sex with your ex-gf?  I pity you.
                   \_ In my experience it is more likely that the guy will
                      have difficulties staying emotionally unattached. Maybe
                      it is me and my friends though, we tend toward the
                      SNAG types.
                      \_ You mean you associate putting your penis into a
                         woman's vagina for a few minutes a week with the
                         emotional commitment required for a LTR?  Check.

10/30   RIP Chancellor Tien.
        \_ No way. Really?
        \_ jam master jay dead. rip.
           \_ Yeah because you know like JMJ was like everything in life to
              millions of aspiring young men and women trying to improve
              themselves and make the world a better place and like played a
              hella mean table and is like way cooler than like anything and
              like way easily should get top billing over a man like Tien who
              did what?  How many times did Tien ever go platinum?
                         \_ I suppose that's a question for Mrs. Tien.
                            \_ And yermom.

10/31   I fart in your general direction.
        [ can somebody add that to fortune or put it in /csua/bin/fortune? ]
        \_ I started giggling at this when I saw it this morning, and I've been
           just staring and giggling at it ever since. I got fired.

10/31   Can anyone recommend a reputable camera store to take a good camera
        to for cleaning/maintenance? peninsula or south bay is preferable but
        I'll take anything in the bay area, really...
        \- what kind of camera [brand/model/dollars]. yes, this matters.
           you can try horizon in hayward/union city/freemont area.
           good but may not be cheep. --psb
           \_ It's one of the more expensive Nikon digital cameras from a
              couple of years ago, not sure the exact model, maybe D1? (it's
              not mine, this is for a friend).
              \- if nikon, try horizon. --psb
        \_ second that.  The full name (at least when I was in Bay Area)
           is called "Horizon Electronics"  Kind of funny cuz camera
           repair is all they do as far as I remembered.  It's not cheap,
           consider that they have been consistantly doing a good job,
           i wouldn't consider them over-charging neither
           (my nikon is 19 yr old :)                    -kngharv
                \_ so is my girlfriend! --aaron
                        \_ i feel pity for u
                                \_ cheer up, i was kidding

10/31   how did people treat yeast infections before modern medicine?
        \_ DOOSH!
        \_ Insert fruits, ferment, get drunk.
        \_ Inserting garlic.  No, really.
           google/i feel lucky: yeast infection "insert garlic"
