Why do you approach them in the first place? Are you genuinely curious about them as people, or do you want them to fill some need / ache / void in you? If you think it may be leaning towards the latter, try to look deep within yo

Didn't mean to sound condescending - it would be very fascinating, especially if we would find evidence of common ancestry and other similarities. Wouldn't exactly be the cantina in Mos Eisley, though. However, as you point out, w

Considering how many life forms are on this planet, and how few of them who provide decent conversation, what are the chances of discovering Vulcans or Wookies? Most life we eventually discover might be more exciting to entomologists.

They can't really tell with 100 % accuracy until birth, but by week 18 they can tell with a very high level of accuracy. And Sweden permits abortions until the end of week 18.

The title of the article raises a good question, though: what is the rationale for clamping down on this? Have they had a real problem, or is it merely moralistic?

I offer a hug to anyone who I'm not in a professional relationship with. Most people seem to like this, and if they don't, I switch to a 'bro hug' in mid-motion. Nice and simple.

The Windows 8 UI feels much more snappy (possibly due to less animation for windows etc) and the new start menu is more comprehensive than the old one. The metro apps, however, feel contrived and out of place, so I don't use those. Still wo
