I find interesting that I remember buying a game in Brazil in 1995 (the 11th hour, sequel to The 7th Guest) and in the receipt it was written “license to use”. So, even back then we were already told that it was a permission, not ownership.

I have several IKEA pieces that I bought when I arrived in Canada in 2007 and are still going strong.

Just check if the other side has an X-chock between the wheels.

Humpf…. Kids. 1996 at the university’s computer lab, playing Duke Nukem and Descent. The situation became so bad that we entered an agreement with the direction. If someone needed a computer to study, someone had to leave the game. And it worked. Everybody was happy.

I did. Restaurants, movies, parks… I don’t recommend movies. We met, got to the theatre, watched the movie, but we didn’t actually talk, because, well, movie. How do you call that big sidewalk alongside a beach? That was awesome. Long walk just talking and listening.

What do you mean privately? I said do get into the restaurant. Meet at a mall, on a bench, in front of a store. If they appear, good, have a 5 minutes conversation and go to the restaurant.

I’m from the time of mIRC, where I met a few girls, including the one who has been my wife for the past 22 years.

Man, I saw a guy once getting stood up and I was really sad. The guy was seated, waited, asked for something small, waited more, changed tables to free space for a larger group and then paid and left. I mean, everyone here probably went on dates that got nowhere. Finish the meal, shake hands and leave separate. It’s part of life. But the golden rule is never go into the restaurant alone. Always meet outside l, somewhere else.

But it’s still wrong, though, as the 9th is about 70 minutes.

There’s even a myth saying that the 9th was the determinant for the length of the original CD.
