If you were asked to design the perfect weapon to exploit this vulnerability as it manifests itself
in attractive, urban gay men, you’d want something that would intensify our isolation,
exaggerate our propensity to objectify each other, and persuade us to objectify ourselves -- by
encouraging us to believe that our purpose is to look good and have lots of sex. Manhunt would be your perfect weapon" Has Manhunt Destroyed Gay Culture?". It's a
great article, but what happened after its publication may be just as interesting.
So the post-publication story goes like this: Out publishes its incisive thinkpiece about
Manhunt.net [NSFW], the biggest gay hook-up site on the net,
and its effects on gay culture. Some of the article devotes itself to the political leanings of the
co-founders, Larry Basile and Jonathan Crutchley. Andy Towle at Towleroad takes that bit of info and reports that Crutchley has had
donated $2300 to the McCain
campaign. Not too many people are happy to hear that. Not his co-founder, not the McCain campaign, and certainly not
the members, many of whom cancel their subscriptions. Crutchley
subsequently steps down as
chairman of the company, igniting
another
controversy
over whether the actions of the gay community constitute a political witchhunt.
Yeah, this is kinda two separate posts in one, but oh well.

As was rumored back in
May, Comcast has finally come out and officially announced that it's capping its broadband at 250 GB per month as of October
1. Despite earlier reports, there was no confirmation of any overage fees for those who go beyond
that. While I still think that tiered broadband is an overall mistake, Comcast's plan is a
lot better than most other ISPs who are putting in broadband caps that are often ridiculously low. And, since
Comcast has already had a secret cap, all this new plan does
is finally reveal what that cap is. So, realistically speaking, this is a step in the right
direction, in that Comcast is actually revealing what its secret cap is and it's made the
cap so high that it shouldn't impact most users.

Hi all, I have a question about my applecare coverage. I got my macbook in December of '06
(Christmas), then my mother ( Non-Computer Savvy) got me apple care for it in December of '07 I
thought she had registered it online, but she didn't. I now have a crack in my palm rest :mad:, and
i checked with apple to make sure i had applecare, but i didn't. My question is, since I bought
applecare before my mac was a year old, but didn't think I had to register it, assuming i find the
registration number, can I register my Macbook with applecare?
Wow that looks confusing...but im trying to sell my macbook to put money towards the new ones in
september :D. The DOP on the Applecare will come up before my year was up, so....now what :apple:?`

Sometimes companies prepare a reorganization plan that is negotiated and voted on by creditors and
stockholders before the company actually files for bankruptcy. This shortens and simplifies the
process, saving the company money, and frequently generating more for the creditors as there is
less spent in legal and related fees, there is less disruption to the company’s business and
less damage to its goodwill. For example, Resorts International and TWA used this method. Prepacked
bankruptcy plans generally qualify as a plan of reorganization under a Chapter 11 case. If the
prepackaged plan involves an offer to sell a security, it may have to be registered with the SEC.
Under the Bankruptcy Code, two-thirds of the stockholders who vote must accept the plan before it
can be implemented, and dissenters have to go along with the majority.
