IN THE past 24 hours, anyone who wanted to get a glimpse of actress Jennifer Lawrence naked has had the chance after a hacker accessed and released nude snaps of her and a host of other celebrities.
But it wasn't just one or two sneaky pics — the hacker reportedly got hold of 60 shots of Lawrence baring all, leaving feminists outraged, older generations in shock and younger ones shrugging their shoulders (while frantically scrolling).
There are no official Australian statistics about how many people have sent a sext, but an Australian-first study into our social media habits released in June found that three out of five Aussie males who use the app Snapchat admitted to sending sexual content. The figure was one in five for women.
Overseas studies suggest one in 10 young people have taken a nude photo of themselves and sent it, and one in five young people have seen such an image.
"Sexting is part of many people's courtship now," Dr Lauren Rosewarne, a University of Melbourne pop culture researcher, told news.com.au.
"There's no single demographic doing this — any sexually active person with access to technology can do it."
In fact, sex therapist Somerset Maxwell says her hunch would be that more people have taken sexy selfies than have not.
"Five years ago far less women would have sent photos of their boobs or themselves in lingerie to a man," she said.
"Now a lot of people have nude pics on their phones. I have girlfriends who send nude Snapchats to their husbands at work."
So are people more risqué than ever before? Probably not, according to Dr Rosewarne.
"We have a long history of sharing intimate photos with loved ones — phones and cameras are just aiding what we have always been doing," she said.
"A lot more people are doing it simply because of the tools available to them."

Of course, your chances of others seeing your pics are much higher now, too.
"Once upon a time if you had nude photos taken there were only one set of negatives and they could easily be destroyed," Dr Rosewarne says.
"It's not the case with digital files, which are completely impossible to reign back in."
Maxwell said sending nude pictures seemed to be an evolution of selfie culture, often driven by narcissism and low self-esteem.
"Women who do it regularly usually want validation that they are beautiful and hot – they are desperate for someone to like them for how they look," she said.
"It's hard to generalise but a very secure, confident person might do it with one person but they are less likely to engage in a prolific level."
Dr Rosewarne said it's often the next step after taking and sharing selfies.
"It's a more risqué selfie – exhibitionism plays a role and also the voyeuristic interests of their partner," she said.
Child psychologist Michael Carr-Gregg said nude photos were part of a new age of digital flirting.
"Because of the celebrity modelling of this behaviour it has become the norm," he said.
"The fact that you can have access to the technology effortlessly and any moron can take a picture, people are influenced by their peers and what celebrities do."
Dr Carr-Gregg said some of his clients used the photos as a bargaining tool.
"'If I send you a nude picture of me you've got to send me a nude picture of you, so if our relationship breaks up I've got something on you, but you've got something on me as well' — so that makes them think it's less likely these images will be leaked. That's not the basis of a trusting relationship; it's almost like relationship insurance."
Lee, 27, said sending sexy pics was standard in the early days of her relationship.
"I think people consider it a normal part of hooking up," she told news.com.au.
"Being a sexual person is considered hot by most guys, so if you didn't send a naked photo when your boyfriend asked they would probably think you were boring."
Lee has been with her partner for four years and says she regularly sent him cheeky pics when she was travelling without him for three months.
"Mine were more on the tasteful and playful side," she said.
Mark, 39, says his single friends share sexy selfies on dating apps like Blendr.
"It's definitely not just for people in their 20s. I have heaps of friends — both straight and gay — who send photos," he said.
"It tends to occur when people are newly hooking up. I don't think it's as common in stable relationships."
But not all 20-somethings are stripping off to snap. Jessica, 27, who is single, doubts she'll ever send a sext.
"It's just not my style — I'm not really a promiscuous type," she said.
"I'd be too worried about keeping shots like that on my phone because people often flick through your photos."
Demand for raunchy photos and videos between couples is so high that app developer Antony Burrows created Disckreet, an app that allows couples to safely record their intimate files. It requires both partners to be together and enter their passcodes in order to access a file.
"Nothing goes on the cloud and the files are heavily encrypted," he said.
"It means one partner can't just upload it to the internet if they break up."
Burrows was aware of the constant stream of nude celebrity pics going viral, as well as the increase of "revenge porn" — where spiteful exes share intimate pics — and realised there was a market for a safer way for couples to experiment with photos and videos together.
"People say they want to try it because it would be a bit of fun but they're too worried about what the implications could be," he said.

I certainly don't get the whole selfie thing with or without clothes. But I consider myself to have a normal sex and relationship life both now and in my younger day and there is no way I would take naked photos of me or want even my partner to. I can only imagine it to be a total egotistical thing to want to take selfies of one self now. I really don't get it and I am a person who has a strong ego my self and loves to be the centre of attention but taking photos of myself to be that way - I am totally dumbfounded by it all.

My husband and I took nude pics and sent them to each other early on when we first dating. I always made sure my face wasn't visible though - you should remember that whatever you take a photo of - be prepared for it to no longer belong to you. And once something is online - it's never going to disappear!

I don't understand the attitude. You'd have to have a big enough head to think yourself pretty hot to take them in the first place, then on top that with the assumption that other people want a piece of that and will respect it. If your head is that big it should be able to fit for a common sense fact along with the narcissism that these pics may come to entertain the rest of the world. Sheeeesh, I have trouble sympathising with silly ppl.

People do not realise how even on public transport it is easy to hack into another persons smart phone using another smart phone and get everything from images to text messages. If you do not want people to see the pic do not take it in the first place

I can (just) understand people taking nude selfies, but you have to be a bit dim to load them on your social media pages or some kind of cloudy thing thinking that they will only be able to shared with people with whom you want to share them. Have these people not heard about hackers? Just like safe crackers are smarter than the people who design safes, hackers are smarter than the people who design the security.

Let's stop the women bashing right now. Three times as many men as women send nude pics of themselves, so why is it only the women's photo's that are being stolen and published? And Ben, that's just not true. Storage services cannot access and use your personal property. And Johnfrom Alice, nobody cares about the opinion of someone who considers women on the basis of whether he would breed them with his dog. Gross.

They do it on purpose, they know thatipeople can hack phones and they do it so that their images will be seen. I used to like Jennifer Lawrance, but now I am beginning to see that she is a fake who loves making a scene. Sad, the lot of them.

i'm pretty sure apple would have clauses in their contracts that grant them use and access of any data you upload to their service, so i this hacker was actually an employee of apple, they probably wouldn't have done anything illegal. the same is true of facebook etc, anything you upload is no longer yours, and privacy policies these days are usually just descriptions of how you don't have any privacy. i would like to laws that change this, putting balance back into contracts by insisting that consumers retain complete control of their information.

So matter what any so called "experts" tells you when they advise you on internet security, remember one thing. EVERYTHING is hackable give enough time, EVERYTHING. You only need to remember one thing when dealing with online security. DON'T post or store anything online unless you are happy with the possibility for everyone to eventually see it, that's everything.

Matt Bartkowski began the season as a healthy scratch, and now he's the Bruins' best left-shot defense option not named Zdeno Chara.
Such is life for the B's in a season that, in addition to being the first since moving on from Andrew Ference, has seen Dennis Seidenberg lost for the season with a torn ACL/MCL.
Good right-shot defensemen are hard to come by, but with the Seidenberg injury and the return of Kevan Miller, the Bruins' defense crop is mostly right-handed: Johnny Boychuk, Dougie Hamilton, Adam McQuaid and Miller are all right-shots, while Chara, Bartkowski and Torey Krug are the three lefties on the blue line.
Left-shot defensemen provide more positional versatility than righties as well, as they usually play on teams with more lefties than righties at some point and therefore arrive at the NHL with some experience playing both sides (Krug, Seidenberg and Bartkowski are all capable of playing the right). However, that same lack of righties means that right-shot defensemen are rarely forced to play their off-side and are therefore more limited to that one position.
As we touched on last week, that makes the Bruins' biggest trade deadline need a left-shot defenseman capable of logging big minutes if need be. In the meantime, Bartkowski is being used as a top-four guy and has been fine when paired with Boychuk.
Though the team would be taking a leap of faith if they were to go into the playoffs with Bartkowski playing 20-plus minutes a night on the second pairing, they've at least seen him in that role before with the stakes high, as he played as a top-four defenseman last postseason in the second round when the B's were without Ference and Seidenberg.
"I feel pretty comfortable [with it]," Bartkowski said Monday. "I know I've got some stuff I need to work on and to be more consistent in the areas in which I need to get better.
"I like playing that role. I like being able to shut down some of the top lines I guess, and then I can add a little offense. I like playing that role."
Given that the position he plays is a perceived need for the B's, such a trade would essentially be for an upgrade over him. Bartkowski's been in more awkward situations, as he watched as the team traded him – or so they thought – to the Flames for Jarome Iginla last season only to see the deal fall through.
"We can't think about them going out to get people," Bartkowski said. "We just have to focus on ourselves and how we can get better to help the team and to play our best. I mean, we all want to play. We want to play better, we want to win games, so we just need to focus on what we need to do."
The Bruins knew there would be a job for him in the NHL this year, but they just didn't know what role. Now, the 25-year-old has played in 30 games this season, only three of which came when everyone was healthy (the B's sat Hamilton twice and McQuaid once, moving Seidenberg over to the right side to make a place for him).
"With a D going down, it presents more opportunity all over -- not just minutes, but different situations -- so you get more responsibility, which I like having," Bartkowski said of the opportunity he's been given. "So yeah, if you're to ask me that question right now, then yeah I like it, but if you were to ask me a couple months ago when I'm not playing, it would be the opposite. I think right now it's a good situation."
Bartkowski has been a victim of a numbers game for the better part of the last two seasons, as the Bruins' stable of left-shot D and the fact that Krug better fills the role of a puck-mover have often left him on the outside looking in. Now, with a shortage of well-rounded left D, he's perhaps the beneficiary. Time will tell if the team will keep him in that role or if they find someone capable of doing the job Ference did for the last three postseasons.
"Well he's still battling to stay in that role," Julien said of Bartkowski. "There's a lot of things that we like about Bart, but he's like the others: He's a young defenseman and you keep working with him game by game, and he's had to kill penalties.
"Let's not kid ourselves: Bartkowski is not Seidenberg. To think that he's going to go in there and replace him, I think is not right, but for him to go in there and be the best that he can be is something that we're looking for."

President Bush was afraid of what might develop, and tried to warn us. Obama was quite sure that he knew better — that in ending the War in Iraq, he had established his legacy. He was sure that we could just talk any dissidents out of their disagreeable intentions. See Klavan and Whittle below.
Democrats just have a hard time getting their minds around war and what it means. I keep some pictures of frightened refugees fleeing in terror before the oncoming Russian army, with their horse-drawn carts, or wheelbarrows full of their worldly goods — stuck in my mind. If we are not strong — this is what could happen. I don't think that's paranoid, but just facing up to the reality of human nature. If ordinary happy families can't get along, there's not much hope for permanence of peace among nations.
Filed under: Foreign Policy, Freedom, Intelligence, Iran, Islam, Israel, Military, National Security, Politics, The United States | Tags: An Historic Speech, Israel and America, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
Victor Davis Hanson made the decisive comment on the Obama response to Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech yesterday, back on February 10, almost a month before the speech was delivered.
Snark is a popular word used for a particular sort of off-putting sarcasm. Snarkiness can manifest itself as adolescent cheap shots, snide condescension, or simple ad hominem patronizing — a sort of "I know you are, but what am I?" schoolyard name-calling. Its incessant use is typically connected with a peevishness born out of juvenile insecurity, and sometimes fed by an embarrassing envy.
Israel's Prime Minister was eloquent, moving, determined, and humble. He expressed his gratitude to America, and to President Obama for his aid to Israel. He delivered a detailed indictment of both Iran's intentions and the sellout deal that the Obama administration is drafting in Geneva.
Obama had done everything in his power to cancel, delay and undermine the speech before it was delivered, including putting out the idea that the Netanyahu appearance was somehow "disrespectful" to the president, and had offended by ignoring the customary protocol between nations. The White House was carefully notified before the Prime Minister accepted the Congressional invitation, and there was nothing disrespectful about his appearance. He emphasized the close relations between the two nations and his gratitude for all that America has done for Israel.
After the speech President Obama, in an arranged photo-op, spent eleven minutes claiming that he didn't even watch the address, though apparently Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei did, and then Obama snarkily added that "there was nothing new in it" anyway.
It's too bad that Obama didn't listen. This was the third time that Mr. Netanyahu had addressed Congress, a record shared only with Winston Churchill, whom Obama didn't like either. The Prime Minister was interrupted with thunderous applause some 40 times. Extra folding chairs were set up in the chamber to accommodate the overflow crowd. Thanks to administration pettiness, the speech drew intense international interest, and was broadcast around the globe. It was an historic speech.
Our two nations, Netanyahu said, share" the destiny of promised lands that cherish freedom and offer hope."He traced Iran's history since the revolution in 1979:" America's founding document promises life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Iran's founding document pledges death, tyranny and the pursuit of jihad. And as states collapse across the Middle East, Iran is charging into the void to do just that."
The Israeli Prime Minister's speech may make the Iran deal a tougher sell for Obama. The President was hoping to slip it in under the claim that it was not "a treaty" but merely a minor deal that didn't require Congressional approval, so wouldn't be presented to Congress. He is really going way too far with this executive order stuff. It is not just about him — its about the safety of America and of Israel. Iran is not going to notify anyone that they have completed their search for a bomb. Israel and Washington D.C. will just be smoking holes in the ground. It's not about Obama's "legacy" — it's about survival.
If you didn't watch the speech, take the time to watch it now or again. Or read the transcript. It was a stirring, historic, and thought provoking address that will enter the catalog of the world's great speeches.

Poor Marie Harf, State Department deputy spokeswoman, has been endlessly held up to ridicule for her statement that "We cannot win this war by killing them." She was simply repeating the direction of the State Department. But of course we can kill our way to victory. That's what wars are all about. Daniel Greenfield, writing as Sultan Knish, thought so too. I thought it was funny, but Mr. Greenfield appropriately took it more seriously as a long time misdirection of the progressive mind, in a piece titled "We Can Kill Our Way to Victory"
"We can not win this war by killing them," Marie Harf said on MSNBC.
Reversing thousands of years of battlefield experience in which wars were won by "killing them", the State Department spokeswoman argued that you can't defeat ISIS by killing its fighters.
"We can not kill our way out of this war," she said. "We need in the medium and longer term to go after the root causes that lead people to join these groups, whether it is lack of opportunity for jobs."
War is one of the few things in life we can reliably kill our way out of. The United States has had a great track record of killing our way out of wars. We killed our way out of WW1. We killed our way out of WW2. The problem began when we stopped trying to kill our way out of wars and started trying to hug our way out of wars instead. Progressive academics added war to economics, terrorism and the climate in the list of subjects they did not understand and wanted to make certain that no one else was allowed to understand. Because the solution to war is so obvious that no progressive could possibly think of it.
Harf's argument is a familiar one. There was a time when progressive reformers had convinced politicians that we couldn't arrest, shoot, imprison or execute our way out of crime.
We couldn't stop crime by fighting crime. Instead the root causes of crime had to be addressed. The police became social workers and criminals overran entire cities. The public demanded action and a new wave of mayors got tough on crime. While the sociologists, social workers, activists and bleeding hearts wailed that it wouldn't work, surprisingly locking up criminals did stop them from committing crimes.
It was a revelation almost as surprising as realizing that it does take a good guy with a gun to stop a bad guy with a gun. Addressing root causes won't stop a killing spree in progress. (That's another one of those things we can and do kill our way out of.)
But bad ideas are harder to kill than bad people. And stupid ideas are the hardest ideas of all to kill.
The same plan that failed to stop street gangs and drug dealers has been deployed to defeat ISIS. Heading it up are progressives who don't believe that killing the enemy wins wars.
General Patton told the Third Army, "The harder we push, the more Germans we kill. The more Germans we kill, the fewer of our men will be killed." That kind of thinking is passé. General McChrystal, Obama's favorite commander (before he had to be purged for insulting Obama) had a much better plan.
"We will not win based on the number of Taliban we kill," he said. "We must avoid the trap of winning tactical victories—but suffering strategic defeats—by causing civilian casualties or excessive damage and thus alienating the people."
Under Obama's rotating shift of commanders, we avoided the trap of winning tactical victories. Instead of following Patton's maxim, American casualties doubled. The Taliban struck closer to Kabul while US soldiers avoided engaging the enemy because they wouldn't be given permission to attack unless the Taliban announced themselves openly while avoiding mosques or civilian buildings.
"We will not win simply by killing insurgents," McChrystal had insisted. "We will help the Afghan people win by securing them, by protecting them from intimidation, violence and abuse."
But we couldn't protect the Afghan people without killing the Taliban. Civilian casualties caused by the United States fell 28 percent, but the Taliban more than made up for it by increasing their killing of civilians by 40 percent. Not only did we avoid the trap of a tactical victory, but we also suffered a strategic defeat. American soldiers couldn't kill insurgents, protect civilians or even protect themselves. We've tried the McChrystal way and over 2,000 American soldiers came home in boxes from Afghanistan trying to win the hearts and minds of the Afghans. Many more returned missing arms and legs. The Taliban poll badly among Afghans, but instead of hiring a PR expert to improve their image, a Pentagon report expects them to be encircling key cities by 2017.
Unlike our leaders, the Taliban are not worried about falling into the trap of winning tactical victories. They are big believers in killing their way to popularity. As ISIS and Boko Haram have demonstrated, winning by killing works better than trying to win by wars by winning polls.
Now the same whiz kids that looked for the root cause of the problem in Afghanistan by dumping money everywhere, including into companies linked to Al Qaeda and the Taliban, think that the way to beat ISIS is with unemployment centers and job training. Many of the ISIS Jihadists come from the social welfare paradises of Europe where there are more people employed to find the root causes of terrorism through welfare than there are people working to fight them. So far they haven't had much luck either. (continued below)

I have sailed the world with the Royal Navy at the turn of the century (the 19th); served in the Revolution with Kenneth Roberts; and the Civil War with James McPherson; Martin Gilbert took me through the First World War and the Second; I witnessed the Rape of Nanking with Iris Chang; and starved in Leningrad with Harrison Salisbury, and Stalingrad with Anthony Beevor; but I have never been in the service and have no expertise at all.
Stephen Coughlin, a leading expert on national security, says that our foreign policy community is absolutely incoherent and has lost the ability to think. Government bureaucrats, he says, have become focused on fighting narratives consistent with a post-modern, politically correct worldview rather than the facts on the ground.
Dr. Sebastian Gorka holds a Chair in Military Theory at the Marine Corps University. He points out that President Obama's three-day summit on violent extremism empowers ISIS, by emphasizing the real grievances the Muslim world has with the West, the danger of Islamophobia in the U.S. and the need for community outreach.
ISIS' recruiting message " is a story of Islam under attack by the West, a perpetual Holy War against the infidel until the House of Islam—Dar al Islaam—covers the world and all live under sharia in a new Caliphate. They are indoctrinating and training 5-year-olds in Islam and weapons.
Strategy 001: You don't tell the enemy what you are going to do, nor just when you are going to do it. It is better to keep them guessing and surprise them. Why is this so hard to understand?
While successful military strategy in wartime often hinges on surprise, the U.S. military took an unconventional path Thursday in announcing a plan to wage an early spring campaign to try to drive ISIS forces from the key city of Mosul in northern Iraq. The U.S. Central Command, or CENTCOM, which oversees the military coalition fight against ISIS in Iraq outlined the size and makeup of a force that the U.S. hopes will be ready for the offensive within five weeks at the earliest, as reported by Defense One and other news organizations.
Unless you're fooling – unless this is an elaborate feint – it's not normal practice to warn somebody that you're coming," Gordon Adams, a military historian and analyst at American University, said. "This is a little bizarre, it seems to me."
When you realize that you don't know very much about a current threat. the response should be to study up. Put aside the stuff that doesn't matter, and read and investigate. I don't have any indication that anybody in the White House is actually doing that. They do have a narrative, and they are sticking to it.
Investors Business Daily offers "Know Thy Enemy: A Crash Course in Radical Islam" by Paul Sperry, in five short parts. It seems useful.

ISIS is depending on their videos to appeal to young Muslims who may be convinced to join the fight. The violence portrayed in many of them has encouraged hundreds to make their way to Syria to join ISIS. The Islamic State's best recruiting tool is youth boredom. ISIS is offering excitement, a chance for young Muslims in the West to get back at the prejudice against Muslims that they may feel, and they find the extreme violence portrayed on the video thrilling and exciting. Just as we find movie portrayals of special effects exciting. But the reality is something else.
There are currently 3 young women, teenagers, from Britain currently making their way to Turkey and Syria to become brides of ISIS. There are at lest 8 impressionable schoolgirls that were attracted by websites recruiting brides, who have disappeared. A couple of them are already widows. Hundreds are proposing to ISIS fighters.
Have you ever been a member of the military, and gone through basic training? If so you will enjoy this newest ISIS recruiting video meant to strike fear into the hearts of the West. I can't embed the video, so you will have to follow the link. The music is annoying, but the camouflage is priceless.
We need some evidence and videos of the setbacks being inflicted on ISIS and al Qaeda to counter their propaganda. But that may be another part of the Obama strategy that isn't understood.

Victor Davis Hanson imagines "President Franklin Delano Obama Addresses the Threat of 1930s Violent Extremism"
Imagining Obama as the American president in 1939 makes what's wrong with the Obama approach to national security clear in a way that a straightforward discussion will not.
"The United States has made significant gains in our struggle against violent extremism in Europe. We are watching carefully aggressions in Czechoslovakia, Austria, and in Eastern Europe. My diplomatic team has made it very clear that aggression against neighbors is inappropriate and unacceptable. We live in the 20th century, where the 19th century practice of changing borders by the use of force has no place in the present era.
"Let me be perfectly clear: Mr. Hitler is playing to a domestic audience. He adopts a sort of macho shtick, as a cut-up in the back of the class who appeals to disaffected countrymen. Our task is to demonstrate to Mr. Hitler that his current behavior is not really in his own interest, and brings neither security nor profit to Germany.
"As for acts of violence in Germany itself, we must express our worry to the German government over apparent extremism, but at the same time we must not overreact. As far as these sporadic attacks on random civilians, as, for example, during the recent Kristallnacht violence, we must keep things in perspective, when, for example, some terrorists randomly targeted some folks in a store. My job is sort of like a big-city mayor, to monitor these terrorist acts that are said to be done in the name of the German people. Let us not overreact and begin to listen to radio commentators who whip us up into a frenzy as if we were on the verge of war. We must not overestimate the SS, a sort of jayvee organization that remains a manageable problem.
Do read the whole thing. One of the greatest attributes of ordinary Americans is their sense of humor. If we lose that, we're in real trouble.

Real people writing real reviews
Real people like you are writing reviews about car dealers and service centers.
I have recently been to multiple dealerships, this was by far the best experience. I was not pushed or hassled into something I did not want, but was always asked what Would you like to do. Henry was very professional, friendly, honest and most of all patient. My wife and I are very pleased with both Henry and Mark and would recommend the Garavel dealership because of them. Also very happy with vehicle.
Experience was great. Steve was very understanding; did all he could to help me out in my situation, plus got me in a great car!
As a sales executive myself I know there is nothing more valuable than a great client service experience. Henry and the folks at Garavel were beyond helpful to work with making my buying experience all the more enjoyable.
I appreciate the time, effort and most importantly the way in which we conducted our business together. Henry was top notch as well as the rest of the folks who helped me!

To whom it may concern:
Henry Welkes is an asset to your team and dealership! Not only was he extremely friendly, respectful, (making a point to communicate with me, a female, along with my fiance...believe it or not, even in this day and age it's a bit of an issue), and willing to work with us no matter what it took. His knowledge of the product, (Ram 2500, with plow), was exceptional. There was no "waiting around" for Henry to give us the answers and service we needed.
We went in to the dealership to lease a Durango, and left buying a 2015 Ram 2500 w/plow! We will be back this spring for our lease, and will certainly be requesting Henry Welkes to help us make the right decisions and finding the product that works best for us.
Tanja and John Z.
Paula in finance was also extremely friendly, professional, and answered all the "fine print" questions we had. Working with her made it very easy to walk out the door with confidence of our purchase.

I had a very specific vehicle in mind when I contacted the dealership and not once did Wrangler Rob try to convince me to change my mind and upgrade. Well, not until the Jeep arrived and he suggested how good the bigger wheels would look. And judging by the comments from family and friends, I did the right thing by taking his advice! Thanks!

Pros: You'll find a lot of relevant pros already mentioned in previous comments. The laptop boots fast, runs well, and the build feels rock solid. No matter what I throw at it, it takes it in stride(Crysis, SC2, BL2, etc.) Very happy with the purchase.
Cons: So far, nothing significant. Some strange features like a hybrid drive, but nothing worth complaining about.
Other Thoughts: I'll try to remember to re-comment if the laptop fails. There is a movie button at the top which makes the colors deeper and the sound richer. It is not possible to customize though.

1.0-0269 and IA32
I noticed that a new driver was released for AMD64 that had a patch for GART for 2.4.22. Would this patch (and/or other parts of the driver) work for IA32.
I'm not sure - it depends on whether or not the patch is pertinent to x86 arches as well.
No... it doesn't work with AMD32.

I have an Adventure Log sheet that isn't the one that comes with the Character Creation guide. It is a large table with many boxes, instead of the space for three entries that the standard adventure log sheet has. My RPGA DM gave me this, and I don't know where he got it from. I'm starting a new character, and would like another copy of this sheet. If anybody could give me a link to it that would be great.

Cosmetic discounts, fun acitvities for personal and professional growth; if you need a morale boost Mary Kay Cosmetics is the place you want to work!
Everyone is great, friendly, and will do anything to help you sell, however, if you have any aspirations of becoming a sales director you better prepare yourself for a ton of hours spent at meetings, events, and training the new consultants....all without pay! The only way you can make a real living is if you recruit hundreds of new beauty consultants, hope that they stay, and hope that they continue to order cosmetics so you get the commissions...or Love Check as they call it.
Stop trying so desperately to recruit new individuals and hire real sales individuals and offer a base salary with sales quotas. I would also strongly suggest to stop allowing people to purchase the cosmetics at 50% off simply for ordering a certain amount each quarter. For the reps really trying to sell, it completely squashes your sales when eventually your customers hear of or find someone that doesn't sell Mary Kay, but they do order a certain amount each quarter, therefore, they can order through their friend or acquaintence for 50% off the retail price. If they can find someone to order it from for half the price, why on earth would they buy it from an independent rep....who is spending money for the mailings, flyers, and paying for all of the party supplies each time they hold an event in their own home to generate some sales.
