3/15    Why does MS put double-quotes around the '8' in Windows Server 8, like
        the following?
        - Windows 8
        - Windows Server "8"
        \_ Because when they didn't do it, code didn't see the '\0'
           and went over?  Looks better than '8','\0' *shrug*

3/15    "Mom, Dr. Phil Confront Teacher Who Ran Off with Student"

        Is it pedophilia or true love?  They look so sweet together.
        \_ An 18 year old is not a child, so not pedophilia. It is
           still kind of disgusting, but at least two orders of
           magnitudes less.
           \_ I think that because he was her teacher the idea is that there
              was a relationship before she turned 18.
              \_ As pp noted, still not legally pedophilia. Definite
                 abuse of power as teacher, however. The man's a tool.
                 \_ It's not pedophilia even if she was 16.  Pedophilia is
                    attraction to prepubescent kids, which a 16-year-old is
                    not.  It might be statutory rape, though, and of course
                    it's an abuse of power.
                    \_ He met her when she was a 9th grader. I think he is
                       a pedophile. Maybe he isn't technically, since a
                       pedophile is into girls 13 and younger, but that's
                       splitting hairs. He's certainly a sick pervert who
                       splitting hairs. He's certainly a sick prevert who
                       needs to be sent to prison.
                       \_ It's not the same thing at all.  Pedophiles are only
                          really interested in prepubescent kids; if they met
                          when she was in 9th grade (age 15, since her birthday
                          is in September), she was well past that point.
                          Biologically, a healthy 15-year-old girl is at
                          nearly peak fertility -- it's normal to find them
                          attractive.  He's probably a manipulative bastard who
                          took advantage of her inexperience and his position
                          of power as a teacher, but he's not a pedophile or a
                          pervert.
                          \_ I think he is a pervert but not a pedophile.
                          prevert.
                          \_ I think he is a prevert but not a pedophile.
                             Women's peak fertility is early 20s, *not* 15,
                             there is a big difference to me and most people.
                             It is "normal" to want to punch someone in the
                             face who cuts you off on the freeway, but most
                             adults have learned to not act on all their
                             impulses, for example I am a married man and I
                             met attractive women all the time, but I dont'
                             try to sleep with them. This guy is a disgusting
                             pervert. But to call him a pedophile cheapens
                             he term. Pedophiles should be castrated and locked
                             the term. Pedophiles should be castrated and locked
                             up for life. This guy just deserves ridicule.
                             prevert. But to call him a pedophile cheapens
                             the term. Pedophiles should be castrated and

                             ridicule.
                          \_ Sorry, but I think you are a pervert for thinking
                          \_ Sorry, but I think you are a prevert for thinking
                             he is not. You are also possibly a pedophile
                             although that is less clear. It's not normal
                             to find 15 year old girls attractive if you
                             are a 40 year old married man with a
                             daughter the same age. He is very sick.
                             \_ What if you are a 40 year old single guy?
                                Is it normal then?
                                \_ No, but this guy *really* has issues.
                                   \_ Watch this video and tell me what you
                                      think (SFW, it is a Disney):

                                         better be a teen yourself.
                                   \_ 54-yr-old engaged with 28-yr-old:

                                      \_ I think it is normal for any guy
                                         to find a 28 yo attractive, even if
                                         he is 90. He might be a dirty old
                                         man, but that is normal to me. In
                                         fact he is kind of lucky at 90 to
                                         have a libido at all.
                                      \_ No issues with a 28 year old. We are
                                         talking teenagers here.

3/15    Dental implant should cost thousands, but I'm hearing radio ads
        for only $875. What's the catch? Is this a scam?
        \_ Google for "mini" implants
