oy975 | kolnidur | 1,327,618,245,000 | I can sit there and run my hands through a significant other's hair for hours, with not a single issue. However, if I see a clump of hair or even a single strand in the shower or on a bed or on a tile floor I instantly get grossed out, even if the hair belongs to someone as familiar as a family member. I've asked around and noticed that I'm not the only one who suffers from this - even my hair stylist notes that she is disgusted by hair as soon as it leaves a head. | AskReddit | jewish |
oy6pf | digividual | 1,327,615,200,000 | I have a Bionic phone from Verizon/Motorola .
The unit itself is great, it runs apps fast etc.
The data connectivity on my phones drops over
15 times a day, and it needs to be rebooted
to fix this. (Sometimes switching to airplane mode
and back works).
Sometimes I haven't checked my phone for an hour or two
just to discover it needs to be reset again to receive mail/updates.
This is an intermittent issue, and Verizon claims the phone is not broken and its just an intermittent and happily still sells the Bionic at full price without notifying the customers.
This does not happen to all users, but it does happen to a lot of customers. I have so far been in contact with over 200 users who are experiencing the same issue with the Bionic. While 200 is not a great number more and more users sign up every day.
I think we have the foundations for a class action lawsuit against Verizon Wireless on this, but I am not a lawyer and I don't know how many people needs to be represented to make it worth while.
I believe Verizon should tell new customers about this issue and they should offer to partially refund or replace the Bionic in the field that have these issues.
I urge people who are or have experienced these issues on Verizon 4G to contact me.
Short form:
Verizon selling broken phones to new users without telling them.
Verizon refuses to address the problem with existing users.
I wish to help myself and others in this situation via a class action
lawsuit against Verizon

oy22p | Theditor | 1,327,609,718,000 | An App, running in the background, that changes music depending on your location.
One customizes track/location in a Google Maps type interface where they click and drag a square over a section of map, and whenever your phone's internal GPS was in that area, your phone would play that song, or perhaps even a playlist. Could an app like this be made as an add on to an existing gps app?
The effect I'm initially aiming for is similar to video game music, like in RPG's where Music changes depending on where you are. Like in Zelda you could have home music, Outside music, shop music, school music, etc. Nothing serious, just something fun to add a little to goings about your day.
But it could move on to other things too. One could download audio tours around Famous Cities or Landmarks. People could make Flash mobs that ran off a similar concept. Something simple that could have a lot of possibilities. | AskReddit | jewish |

oxygj | mitigateaccomp | 1,327,605,690,000 | The company I work for has decided to move forward with doing an overhaul to our facebook, twitter, blog, tumblr, etc. and I have no clue where to look, or even what to say I am looking for.
What I needs to get done, in no particular order:
* I need someone to redesign our blog and add in some specific functions (upvoting comments and such)
* I need a new twitter background made that looks like our main site
* I would like a tumblr background to match the twitter and maybe the blog
* I need to have the iframes in our facebook fan page done correctly
* I need some graphics for competitions we run on facebook
* I would prefer the person to be local to me, South Florida area
* They would also need to be handy for trouble shooting and such down the road
I am a complete noob to all of this stuff and I don't know what I am looking for, do I need one person or are these different jobs? Should I try to find someone that does design for redesign stuff and then a developer to put it into effect? Where do I go to look for either of those people? I would love to offer the jobs to a local redditor too, so are there even any communities that cater to what I am looking for?

ox3ad | PhilGarber | 1,327,548,982,000 | Hey Reddit,
My family's had this painting for generations. Somewhere along the line, some bright soul in my family washed off the signature. We got this thing appraised (a local guy.. Knew what he was talking about I'm sure, but no Parisian master) and the guy said that it's probably a (I'm NOT sure about these names.. I'll ask my dad in the morning) Sustermans (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justus_Sustermans) or a Jan van Eyck (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_van_Eyck). Once again, DO NOT quote me on those names - I don't remember if either of those are correct. Sans signature, he claims this piece is worth 2-3k USD. The appraiser said it was "of a gentleman". Over the years, I've began to wonder if that "gentleman" is Galileo Galilei.
I have NO background in paintings, though I am an artistic person (I'm probably going to leave university with a Masters in photography). So, this isn't based off of any former education I've had. But can you see the similarities? here's **my family's painting**http://www.flickr.com/photos/philgarberjr/6763683971/in/photostream, and here are a few portraits of Galileo..http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=portrait+of+gaileo+&view=detail&id=CA92294AEDC3F41EF97958C7A4FF020ED8553706&first=0&FORM=IDFRIR (Sustermans)..This one's even in the in the same style frame - http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=portrait+of+young+gaileo+&view=detail&id=14D3D34A9BAC4FC3EBF737A2C57B96159BF1D606&first=31&FORM=IDFRIR (unattributed).

In the "yes, it's a sandwich" camp:
* It's cheese on bread, just like grilled cheese, and grilled cheese is so obviously a sandwich
* A hamburger is a sandwich, but no one would ever call a hamburger a sandwich, so it doesn't preclude a bagel from being one.
* If it's not a sandwich, what the hell is it?
In the "no, not a sandwich" camp:
* You're eating it for the bread, not for the cream cheese
* There's no meaningful source of protein there -- cream cheese is basically a condiment

oz46w | shoasaurus | 1,327,673,283,000 | My opinion is "no", but I'd like to hear what the rest of Reddit has to say as well.
With all of the recent talk about "Killing Hollywood" has sparked conversation throughout the hackasphere, the truth is the the record industry, the movie and tv industries are and have been the best employers of artists this side of the Medici clan.
To understand the problem, it is in my opinion crucial to understand what it is that artists do, and what the (few) industries that explicitly support artists mean to those whom they employ.
Unless and until the tech industry can do this, and help develop new ways for artists to empower themselves, the self-righteousness will backfire, the way it did for musicians who railed for generations against the powers that be and are now left with less employment opportunities in the industry than at any time in the last 100 years.
I'm a musician, and software developer myself, here is my attempt at solving the problem: http://www.feed-forward.net
I think that helping artists self organize is the future, to that extent I've developed an application that gives incentive for artists to engage each other in meaningful discourse over each others work. The more constructive criticism and positive reinforcement artists give for one anothers' work, the more exposure they get for their own. In this way I hope that artists won't have to "Kill" their corporate masters, but rather that we can become our own bosses. After all I read somewhere once that people are willing to work harder for less if they are doing something that they love...

oyq6m | cos | 1,327,639,904,000 | I've been using delicious since its pre-yahoo days, but the past several months have left me increasingly frustrated, and I'm finally convinced I need to leave. Here are the features I really care about:
- Very easy to use browser bookmarklet for posting links
- Consistent support for all common browsers, including last years version (and even the year before's!). delicious accidentally dropping support for Safari 5.0 recently, and not only letting that change get out to production but not rolling it back when they learned of the problem, is the thing that's finally pushing me over the edge into leaving.
- **Easy tagging interface** - until the recent changes, you could rapidly type tags separated by space, or hit tab to autocomplete from the popup autocomplete list, without using arrow keys or the mouse to select things. And if you *did* use arrow keys to select a non-default completion, you could use it by hitting space or tab. That's what I want.
- Easy to remember and easy to type URLs, including (especially) tag intersection. A simple link for my account, and a simple link I can type right into the URL bar for most of my searches. If it weren't for this, I think I'd be moving to Google Bookmarks, which I tried earlier this week, but its URLs are ugly and clumsy to both read and type.
- Automatic RSS feeds for every account, every tag, every account+tag, every tag intersection, whatever. If you can construct a URL to view it in html, you should be able to just as easily construct a URL for the equivalent RSS feed.
- Clean web UI with compact link lists that let you show as many links as you want on a page and don't waste vertical space with thumbnails and extras.
- An expectation of stability. delicious has had a good long run. It's being destroyed now, but it was great for at least six years before that. What site can I move to that's great now and that I can expect will last longer than 6 years?
I really wish delicious weren't ruined, because it was just about perfect. I really wish Google Bookmarks' URLs didn't suck, because if it weren't for that, it'd be close, and with Google, I think there's a >50% of it being a really long term product.

Here's mine:
During my days at a small Montessori school, I knew this kid (we'll call him Tyler because that was his name) who insisted that he had a massive arsenal of daggers at his house that he 'practiced' with on a daily basis. We all called bullshit, saying that there was no way little Tyler's parents would ever let him play with knives, let alone buy and collect them on his own. Well Tyler promised us all then and there that he'd bring in some of them the next day and show us. Sure enough, the next morning I come to school and I see a crowd of kids gathered around. I run over to see what the commotion is, and I see Tyler standing there, lifting up his shirt to everyone, showing off the dozen or so serrated hunting knives he had tucked into his underwear. None of us acknowledged the fact that the little shit probably could have cut his goddamn stomach open at any point during the day, but we all looked up to him a little after that.

p0ito | NovaeDeArx | 1,327,763,896,000 | So, I've been thinking a lot about the consequences of censorship on the Internet in the US and worldwide.
I suspect that there will be a series of targeted legislative and police actions against sites that threaten the future of big media conglomerates and similar entrenched interests.
So, what's going to happen? Obviously, the Internet is not going to take this lying down. One strong possibility is a combination of TOR-style anonymous/obfuscated browsing.
I also see the chances of a common currency (similar to Bitcoin but without the economic failings) for the millions of likely users to be fairly high.
However, both of these technologies are vulnerable in their own unique ways, and certainly have their drawbacks. TOR has incredibly high latencies. Bitcoin is not an inflationary currency and has no real form of central management, which some would argue is vital to preventing massive swings in currency valuation.
I know some ideas like a dark mesh-net keep getting kicked around, but those are not scalable enough in any sense to be a real solution.
So I ask you, Reddit. What do you see as being the next step if and/or when corporate control over the mainstream Internet becomes too great for it to bear?

We are trying to hire two sales people. I thought the economy is bad, people are desperate for jobs, and we offer a sweet deal: get a base salary, and if you are any good - make a very nice living. No degree required, no car sales experience required, all you need is this:
* Valid driver license
* Look professional
* Be somewhat intelligent
* Be proficient with computers
* Have desire to succeed
So far I contacted dozens of people that posted their resumes on Craigslist, posted it on Reddit, advertised on Craigslist twice. All I got was a few half-assed resumes, no callbacks, people late or don't show up for appointments. Only 3 people actually showed up, only one of them was able to demonstrate any ability to sell, and he didn't have a driver license.

p1rfv | GodLike1001 | 1,327,853,384,000 | Clearly both are two very different nations, but as a resident of Australia, I've began to see some similarities between the history of both nations.
I have always believed in equality, but when the issue of Australia's controversial colonization comes up, I always find myself sympathetic with the European perspective. That is, yes the land was unlawfully stolen, but it was so very long ago and apart from any remnants of racial bigotry, I believe that the Aboriginals are wrong in suggesting that they have any kind of special role in the Australian society.
However, when it comes to the arab-israeli conflict, I am very much sided with Palestine. I see what is going on over there as genocide and the attempted removal of any trace of palestinians from arab territory.
This clearly contradicts my original sentiments. Am I wrong for thinking different things regarding relatively the same issue? | AskReddit | jewish |
p1r80 | lotsofideas | 1,327,852,934,000 | I'll start.
A cop passed me doing about 80mph in a 50mph zone. It was a fairly straight highway and so i sped up to about the same speed and kept about 1/2 mile back from the cop. I had just got a radar detector for my car and it started beeping. I figured it was from the cop car ahead of me but not that he was actually checking my speed. (stupid me). Anyways, he pulls me over and walks over to my car, looks at my radar detector on my dashboard (ya, i didnt take it down. i know), looks at me with an amazed look on his face and says, "please tell me that isnt working", as in you cant possibly be that stupid. He comes back to me 5 minutes later and says this is you lucky day, he only gave me a ticket for having an "obstructed view, radar detector". | AskReddit | jewish |

p1jqb | cheeseburgz | 1,327,826,478,000 | First off, if this post seems a little disorganized, it's because I honestly dont know how to properly convey my thoughts and emotions right now. So I'll just start from the beginning.
For as long as I can remember, my sister has been mean and manipulative. As a kid, she was quite spoiled. She was always popular and successful and was accommodated accordingly. I was successful academically, but socially hindered, as I like to call it. So I observed my sisters (I have 2 older sisters, but the one I'm talking about is the younger) and compared them to myself. When she had her bat-mitzvah, she had a nice party with music and dancing. When I had my bar-mitzvah, I had a small family get together. If my sister wanted something, she had to have it. If I was playing N64 (as I was prone to do) she had to have priority. We got into a lot of fights as kids, a lot of hair-pulling, biting, kicking, screaming. Honestly moreso than my bigger sister by a fantastical margin. I don't even remember getting into a fight with my bigger sister. But when I got into a fight with my sister, I always won. She had the height but I had the stronger base. Plus, I could grab on to more hair than she could. In any event the fights ended up with her crying and asking for mommy, and I'd just walk calmly to my room because I knew that's where I was headed until dinner time.
Not that any of this is relevant right now, I don't hold grudges for a decade. I'm over my childhood problems. But I had to set some kind of backstory and hope to convey some behavioral patterns.
Fast forward just over a decade and here we are. I go to a University in Ontario, she's graduated and moved to Toronto. We barely see each other, but every time I do, I grow to hate her more and more because of what I've seen her do to me and my family. First, she swears at my parents now when they don't give her money or when they nag her about something...oh, did I mention she has a full-time job that pays well? Because that's important. I consider the swearing at my parents a big thing, because I don't consider that to be allowable. My parents used to crack down on it, but now they just ignore it or give her a stern "Hey, stop that." I think it's mostly because she's 24 years old and should know better.
Second, and this ties into having a job/asking parents for money, is that she expects to live like our cousins (who are quite well off) and basically buys more clothes than she could ever hope to wear regularly. I once went shopping with her back before she had her job (for what I don't remember) but we stopped at a store and I remember her paying 400$ for a purse and matching dress or something like that. I remember thinking "This is entirely too much money to spend on 2 articles of clothing". I don't remember the final outcome, but I'm pretty sure she got to keep the clothes because it was her money.
This leads me into my third point, in which I would say she is irresponsible in many regards. She has a nice job that pays well but she uses my parents as a crutch to meet her spending. My parents help pay for her car, but that was agreed upon. She asks them for an iPhone, a new laptop, a TV, gas money, and just more money in general. I asked my parents "Have you ever told her to save her money?" My dad says of course, but that she just doesn't stop spending. I told him that this is not good and she needs to grow up, that when I graduate I expect little help once I get on my feet, but nothing has come from me voicing my concerns.
Another thing about her: No matter what, she can never be wrong. It could be her spending too much money, or taking a train from Toronto to Montreal to get a haircut, or whether I should wear a certain pair of pants to a party. She always has something to say, always has an opinion, and she's always right. Perhaps this is more me bitching, but when someone can't admit they are wrong for doing something, I usually call bullshit, and now it's my own sister.
I could go on and on, and if you've read this far you're a trooper, so I cut to the chase and explain the "straw that broke the camel's back".
So tonight my sister went out after my dad's 60th birthday. At 2:00 a.m. she texts me asking if I'm awake. I'm playing assassin's creed so of course. I respond, thinking she forgot her keys again. However, she asks me to come down with money to pay for a cab. Here's what I thought:
* She has a credit card
* She has a job
* She should pay for her own shit
Now me being me I kinda overreacted and said "Fuck off, use your credit card". I shouldn't have said fuck off and I know that, but goddamnit I thought it needed to be said and I made my opinion clear. Immediately I got a flurry of texts telling me how appalled she was at my behaviour and that she was asking for a favor. I responded "You're asking a favor from a guy that still gets money from Dad. This is his money, and I know what he'd say, but you'd just try to argue. I will not indulge you."
So 10 minutes later she gets home, barges into my room and starts yelling at the top of her lungs. She demands an apology, but I decided to stick to my guns and said No, and tried to dismiss her saying that we're both tired and we should talk about this tomorrow. But she refused, and again demanded an apology. I said no. She proceeds to attempt to break my laptop.
Now I'm going to break away from the story here and say that my laptop is very important to me. Not only are a shit-ton of video games on it, but I paid for it myself with my summer job money and I use it for goddam schoolwork (engineer, lots of schoolwork). So as you may imagine, I immediately feel vindicated by sticking to my guns.
She proceeds to tell me "I hope it fucking breaks" and starts to hit me as I'm lying in bed. I don't get up, I just deflect the shots as per usual. At this point my Dad is up, he tells my sister to shut up, upon which she exclaims "He told me to fuck off" and then he said "You shouldn't talk to your sister like that", figuring we'd talk about it tomorrow I just nodded and he went back to bed. So now I feel bad even though I don't think I should because I wasn't the one yelling bloody murder at 2:15 a.m. on my dad's birthday. But then my sister comes back in and says "You're a terrible person and I hate you."
I was shocked. I've never said that to anyone, ever. Even people I actually hate. But at this point I think I actually hate my sister. This is it. End of the line. I want her to to hit me again so I can go fucking apeshit on her, but I can handle those emotions given some time. But I think writing an angry blog about it (I have a tumblr blog, haters gonna hate) may just set the record straight on how I feel, but I've never acted on my feelings like that/this before.
So I ask you reddit, how do I respond/react?
