Can someone explain why repealing 'Don't Ask, Don't tell' is a good thing? | I am sure I will be flamed for this, but here is what DADT means to *me*.
On the surface, there are two parts: 1) Don't ask, and 2) don't tell.
1. don't ask -- OK, so basically this means government is not allowed to ask you about your sexual preference? THIS IS A GOOD THING. Am I wrong? What does government need... |

Who else would turn off adblock for more websites if ads were strictly static? | Basically I'm picturing my ideal ad scheme like reddit or even a little like a magazine. No pop-ups, java, flash, audio, animated gifs; just "Hey, wanna enlarge your penis? No? That's cool." |

Is a socal reddit meetup ever happening? | I feel like people always bring it up but it never follows through. The last thread almost seemed like it was gonna happen but it seems that's fallen through.

What do you have on in the background while coding? | When I'm coding, I find a silent room to be stifling, music too distracting, and TV or movies too engrossing.

Question about fake AV's like "antivirus 2009", stuff like that.. | I don't have it but I remove it from other people's computers for money. Why don't regular antivirus programs pick this up?

DAE get stuck in thought loops, with one particular repeating thought or image? | This person described it pretty well, but no one responded and it was a throwaway account. But I do this too, where I'll have one sort of thought or image repeating in my mind, and I have to focus on completing the thought 'correctly' for it to go away.
Yeah, I know it sounds weird. Anyone else, though? I'm curious... |

So we went to Clearwater Florida to mess with some scientologists | I've always been intrigued by how easily it is to piss off Scientologists by simply playing the OT-3 Xenu Story from their confidential tapes that you supposedly need to pay $360,000 to get to this "level". So we acquired some Guy Fawkes masks and brought along an I-Pod, car chalk, head cover etc and blasted their fav... |

Hey Linux reddit, can someone edumacate me on users, groups, and permissions? | I have a MythTV frontend-and-backend setup (actually, MythDora).

So, is there ANY MMOG worth playing other than WoW? | I used to play DAoC at some point, and maybe my memory has fucked things up but I think it was more enjoyable than WoW. I don't want to play WoW anymore for several reasons, but I really like the idea of MMOGs. But it seems WoW killed them all. Is there any other good MMOG left? |

Does anyone else use subtitles when they watch DVDs, even though their hearing is okay? | This, of course, refers to movies/shows in English. If you're watching a foreign language film it would be normal.
Personally I don't find it annoying at all. In fact it helps me concentrate on what the actors are saying which means I am more likely to "get" where the story is going. |

Best printer for presenting web designs to clients? | Would anyone be able to recommend a good printer for printing web designs?

Reddit: I sear to God I've submitted like 5 links in the last 2-3 days, and they have all disappeared. wtf? | I'm sure they weren't violating any 'rules', and most of the posing I do is during low-bandwidth hours, so there's no way they could really be downvoted so hard that they don't exist a half-hour later. And I do mean "don't exist", they don't even show up in my profile.

IAE afraid of writing funny (usually meaning "lewd") comments on your friends' Facebook statuses because you know their parents are going to read it? | The worst is when they comment above it, even if it's "LOL!".
Parental (or any familial) Facestalking has to go. Please. I can't be friends/converse with your niece if you keep asking if she's "found a man yet lol!!!". |
Have any of your old school friends or anyone you know done porn or "glamour" photos? | A couple of years back my old classmate started modelling and now she has a fairly big collection of nudey photos! Full set [here.](

AMA Request: Joey Greco, host of the TV show "Cheaters" | I have always wondered what behind the scenes is like on this show. How do they get permission from some people to show their face?

The guys I'm talking about are fellas you would NEVER pick out of a lineup. Some of them are the most butch, regular guys: cops, blue col... |
How do I get rid of that smell? | My faithful freestyle shark sport watch has seen many a trip to the gym and a treadmill or two. Yesterday I had my watch wrist propped up by my face and nearly died from the SMELL! I have washed it twice, and even used a toothbrush and toothpaste on it. The band doesn't detach.

Has anyone felt that their friends changed in the way they relate to you after you have told them about your depression? | I saw an episode of The Next Generation, where Troi lost her emphatic powers. When Riker comes to console her, she talks about the way people who are close to you change when they get to know about your problems. Does anyone have any stories, or something to share about this? I've been keeping the state of my mental he... |
