I'd say they were in good company.
On a quasi-related note, here's a project I'm launching soon. It's for innovators: http://diepenniless.com
Goodyear himself suffered unbelievable hardships during his life, even after making one of the greatest discoveries of the nineteenth century.
It's a good a time as ever to reveal "Die Penniless". It's a checklist / personal assessment system for creative geniuses who want to make history. For first access when it launches, please sign up here: http://diepenniless.com
Recently, they advertised they now provide server logs to prove usage, but I'm done with them.
Do you see what you're doing here? Smoking is at the center of your universe. There is NO WAY you will quit an addiction like smoking until you refuse to even acknowledge its existence.
Get rid of your thinking first, then you'll easily get rid of the addiction.
FYI: I smoked for 10 years before I quit. That was 10 years ago.
Succor those that stand in need of your succor; ye will administer of your substance unto him that standeth in need; and ye will not suffer that the beggar putteth up his petition to you in vain, and turn him out to perish.
Perhaps thou shalt say: The man has brought upon himself his misery; therefore I will stay my hand, and will not give unto him of my food, nor impart unto him of my substance that he may not suffer, for his punishments are just—

For behold, are we not all beggars? Do we not all depend upon the same Being, even God, for all the substance which we have, for both food and raiment, and for gold, and for silver, and for all the riches which we have of every kind?
Book of Mormon, Mosiah 4: 16-19

Science is cruel and rife with incompetence and fraudulence, but the issue needs to be attacked with hard facts.
They should be proud of what they accomplished. I'll bet they did a lot of good for indy music.
The thing is I used to pay for the premium version of Yahoo mail, I bought domains from them, I had a paid Flickr account before - and they shut it all down without warning.
Losing that Flickr account hurt the most. Lots of saved images were lost.
The woman was God's final creation. One could convincingly argue He saved the best for last.
But it's so prevalent nowadays that it hardly registers in a conscious way, and I think that's the problem.
As an LDS Christian I go to church and won't watch R rated movies, but even I feel like I've become numb to this kind of objectification of women. And I think it's a serious, serious problem in this society.
I got a laugh from the name Stack Fu, but I'm laughing with the OP, because I've picked less than optimal names myself.
But there are no easy answers. You could do user validation up the wazoo and still fail.
I suggest looking at other indicators (interest level, budget) or do a weighted pros and cons list.
I read half of it and gave up.
