Okay, I know this is a bit of a difficult thing to quantify - but if you had to choose one author as the number one author of all time, who would it be and why? List a couple if you can't make up your mind. I would choose...

apatheticagnostic Hmm, I've heard his books are more or less one big reccomendation for self-hypnosis. Not my bag, but more power to you.

apatheticagnostic I don't think so - but I'm going to have to think about that for a while. Good question! However, since empathy is "being able to feel the emotion of another" - I would assume that one would either have to have a good imagination, or would have had to have...

friendship

apatheticagnostic Making friends is a great thing - and in my experience if you are an honest person who doesn't screw people over, and are more or less open-minded, you will meet and become good friends with some of the most amazing human beings you could ever hope to...

Alright, what do you guys think about first impressions? Personally, I think that people place too much importance on the impact of first impressions. You really can't judge someone accurately by the first few seconds of...

apatheticagnostic Mmmm, classic! His works really are brilliant, especially if you understand the context that they were written in. Too many people fail to see the humour in his writings due to them being written so long ago.

apatheticagnostic I like a good bit of Koontz's stuff. One book about a kid who could "walk where the rain isn't" sticks out as being really good - eye of something? I can't remember. Thanks for the input!

apatheticagnostic I am into thought-provoking conversation and debate, and I'm very new here. I haven't started any really "deep" discussions yet - one ranty type and a couple question type are all I've put up yet. I plan to though, here in a day or two. I shall apply to...

I was wondering, what computer do you use? is it a Mac? is it a PC? most of you will probably answer PC... If so, have you had any experience with a Mac? do you think it might be better than PC? are you considering purchasing a...

computer

mac

pc

5 responses

apatheticagnostic I use a PC, have never used a Mac. For the person who was a bit confused about terminology, PC does mean personal computer - but it refers to computers using a different set of hardware than Macs. Now that macs are also running on x86 hardware, the line is...

So, I'd like some fellow programmers opinion on this? Is it worth it to learn assembly anymore (specifically x86)? I think it is - but only to people who are more or less computer nerds, or into robotics. If so, why? If not,...

I came across a thread on here that asked if America was a communist country and as evidence produced a list from 1963 on the supposed goals of communists. America has been very anti-communist for quite some time, but I wonder how...

apatheticagnostic The fear of communism comes from the same source as most "average americans" opinions on political matters - the media and propoganda (perhaps a redundant statement). I mean a lot, if not the majority of people in this country simply don't research...

Most of us are read to by our parents when we are babies and tucked in at night via bedtime stories. That was certainly the case for me. I remember about ten years ago how my mom showed me the special "baby books" she brought for...

apatheticagnostic According to my mother, when I was three I taught myself how to read by watching other people read aloud. As long as I can remember, I have loved losing myself in a good book - the only limit to the entertainment had is in your own imagination, and that is...

apatheticagnostic No, to a degree. If they aren't and are sexually active on a regular basis I do care that they are regularly screened for STDs (and so should they)

As a general rule, I hate advertisements in almost all forms. Why? Because 90% of ads that I see for anything are entirely devoid of any information about what is being advertised - simply using colors, layout, and phrasing...
