Yea, I think it's all relative. I know people who remember little from before the age of 6, and I find that to be almost disturbing...I remember most everything from 4 onward, and my earliest memory involves me wanting a particular sort of diaper (the pig ones!), so I imagine I was pretty young at the time.
I'm 22 now. The girl was very cute at the time.
Answer and be ignored. Like the "Ask Obama" questions!
I recall all of my more eventful dreams from that age (and younger, but only back to 5 or 6), and that particular dream was definitely a welcomed shock to my young mind at the time.
> Males report having sexual fantasies earlier in development (average age of onset 11.5 years)
I find that figure to be surprisingly high. My first dream that was definitely sexual was when I was 7 going on 8, in the second grade.
> today’s Internet pornography scene, where zero is left to the imagination.
I disagree. The primary psychological goal of porno seems to be for the viewer to imagine one of the actors as themselves, and/or the other actor(s) as those the viewer knows or sees. The amount of clothing, the level of visual detail, and the nature of the sexual acts performed are merely to cater to the viewer's tastes.
A: What compensation...blah blah blah?
B: 80 would be great.
$80k/yr -> $80/hr.
The eMac is back!
Conspicuous consumption.

I don't think that is the case. Amongst recently published works of history that I have read (1st ed. books), from some very reputable publishers (Cambridge, Oxford, UC, etc), I have only seen BC/AD in use.
Were those sites developed prior to this experiment? If so, it sounds more like dumping assets than flipping anything.

I wonder, what could possibly lead to such things?
What were the negotiations? Was it a salesman-customer interaction, or were the two on even footing?
Is this some new trend where nobody prefixes self posts with "Ask HN"?
the .ps tld has potential.
I took a job hiring a RoR ninja and jQuery expert as lead dev (for an alpha app) and immediately rewrote it in Django and MooTools/Google Closure. You can know the trendy stuff but still develop with solid software, provided you have some latitude in technology decisions.

I seriously doubt that. jQuery UI is a hack compared to ExtJS.
Google Closure's codebase, which powers Gmail, etc. is well over 33MB, and ExtJS' size includes image assets, etc. So you can see that this is a poor metric.
ext-base.js and ext-all.js, minified, are fairly light.
Further, there's no ExtJS builder that I am aware of, so there are no optional "modules." I'm not sure what you're talking about. While the components are technically decoupled, using a GridPanel without Ext.data's offerings, for instance, would be pretty clunky.
The documentation leaves something to be desired. Working with ExtJS heavily for over a year, I found myself digging through the source code far too often.
Tacky name change clearly aimed to counter the mass of online content critical of their licensing model.
It's also excellent. I regret that our privilege necessarily implies disadvantage for everyone else, but we have it far easier than most. It seems that no amount of anti-discriminatory measures can erase this admittedly positive prejudice.
I am well aware of the meaning of the word, but it's nonsense if you use it to describe a practice on one side, and a condition on the other.
Further, "doesn't necessarily imply" is quite another thing from "is completely unrelated to." To say that available user options and user interface design are perpendicular to one another is silly.
> Poor UI design (3 different places to set prefs?) is orthogonal to the issue of whether or not something should be configurable.
That's not how you use the word. Even if it were, I would still dispute your argument, because configuration clearly must happen through a user interface of some sort.

This describes a mild form of insomnia. The sort where you have a hard time falling asleep, staying asleep, and having quality sleep when you do, is the most difficult to treat. I don't enjoy it.
Pop history of the diamond trade.
Well I certainly knew nothing of these developments until they appeared on this website. This is where I go for national news.
