These questions are ON POINT. - Mona N.

definitely - will there be a television in the bedroom? That's one thing my wife and I agree with: NO. - Jason Kaneshiro

No... there are some missing. Like "Do you expect ME to cook?" and "Who is going to clean?" and "OMFG, do you KNOW how to empty a dishwasher" and "Will I ever see the remote again? - Cyndy

Cyndy: LOL 3) Have we discussed our expectations for how the household will be maintained, and are we in agreement on who will manage the chores? - Mona N.

They also left out "Do you really expect me to smother in my sleep? Open the bedroom window, for pete's sake!" - Lisa L. Seifert

This article = all sorts of wrong!! There are way more fundamental questions people need to address!!! There was a NYTimes questionnaire that was better. brb w/ link. - Mona N.

I think adults make things too hard....we should just ask 1) Do you like me? 2) Do you think you'll be able to put in the time an energy to get over the bumps and hurdles along the way and stay together? and 3) Want to try? - George Smith

I guess Jason isn't the one? We fight all the time. - Cyndy

I agree with George. You never know if you're going to like that particular fruit until you take more than a nibble of it. You have to take a good bite, and savor it for some time first, and try it with different toppings, and side dishes.- unless it's instantly bitter of course. - Ian "plumber" May

+1 George, as a side note, I don't think the article is entirely accurate but it is food for thought. @Cyndy it said fighting is probably better than not fighting - Lindsey Smith

#6 is bunk. Friends and family can be wrong about your soulmate. - Carmen

George and Lindsey: Doesn't work that way... There are rudimentary factors if you are looking to be in it for the long term. Took getting my heart ripped up in a trillion pieces to finally realize that. ;) The article: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12... - Mona N.

@Mona this is such an un-romantic list, but so great in so many ways... "7) Will there be a television in the bedroom?" - anna awesomesauce

it all comes down to this: are you hot enough for me to deal with your b/s? am i hot enough for you to deal with mine? 'hot' can mean lots of things and so can b/s, but it all boils down to whether or not we feel there is a balance... - Morgan Haley

Ask anyone who's been married or together for more than 4 years and live together. I guarantee they will all agree every single one of those questions (from this http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12... NYTimes article) are relevant. :) - Mona N.

Signs of a good relationship are one thing... Realistic principles of a long-term relationship/marriage are another. Mona, that's a great article! imo, all 15 questions are excellent and very relevant. - Carmen

e-harmony's printing false crap since their business is based on singles!! Terrible! And Carmen, I learned the hard way. haha - Mona N.

Mona, I think *both* lists are great, and they're complementary. If you get through all the points on the list that tops off this thread, *then* you're ready to tackle the NY Times list. - Mitch Wagner

Cyndy, the article said that if a couple has never fought they are in trouble, not the opposite, however, if you guys constantly have nasty drag-out fights, then yeah, you're in trouble. :) - Barrack Obama Scoble

My main problem with the list that heads up this thread is the use of the phrase "The One." I don't believe in "The One." In reality, there's probably ten million people in the world that you might be happy with -- any individual one of them is The One only if you choose to make them The One. If you both choose it together. - Mitch Wagner

I like the advice to a long, happy marriage that Dennis Quaid gave in the movie "In Good Company:" "You just pick the right one to be in the foxhole with, and then when you're outside of the foxhole you keep your dick in your pants." - Mitch Wagner

@anna awesomesauce for me the right answer to 7) would be a definite NO! - Ian "plumber" May

Much better article Mona . . . thanks - Lindsey Smith

Thanks for the initial post as well, Lindsey. It made interesting discussions! - Carmen

Indeed! w/out the original, it wouldn't have digressed. :) - Mona N.

Neither of those discuss the most important question in a relationship: Kirk or Picard. - 9 (blocked writer)

Because silly . . . there is only one right answer. Picard! - Lindsey Smith

But that's what I mean! Suppose your significant other likes.... Kirk. That's a dealbreaker. - 9 (blocked writer)

I thought we were going to drop the ACORN crap considering that a) the organization turned in forms as required by law that they knew had problems and b) McCain was all ABOUT ACORN until he thought he could use it as another negative ad point - Cyndy

Yeah, Soulhuntre... ACORN is setting up big phone banks with local phone numbers redirected to a liberal call center so they can fool the pollsters into believing people actually prefer Obama at a +14% rate... sneaky communists! - Jason Carreira

Yes, because registration fraud (which is actually caught by ACORN itself for the most part) has no true impact on voter fraud. Registering someone 72 times just means ACORN had to pay some schmuck for bogus work and then pay their oversight folks more to flag those forms. And guess what, that person only gets to vote ... once. Cases of voter fraud of this nature are minuscule. - AJ Kohn

i question any candidate spending that kind of money when the country is in financial crisis. - Tony Kanzia

@AnnoyingNoah Did Soros give $100 to each of the millions of households contributing to Obama's campaign? No. No he didn't. - Jason Carreira

@Tony people like me sent him the money to spend on the campaign. I'm fine with him spending my money. For one thing, he's putting money into the economy, for another this is exactly what we wanted him to do, totally dominate and win big. - Jason Carreira

If this were a business, and investors gave money to obtain a goal, and you knew that spending on this medium in the last month would help reach that goal, you'd do it. In fact, you'd be doing your investors a disservice by not doing so. Winning is akin to profitability. Spend it Obama. - AJ Kohn

@Tony - what'd you prefer he do? Put his campaign contributions in to the social security fund? The dollars were designated for campaigning, so not sure what else he should do w/ them :P - Patrick Lightbody

I love how the Republicans started to whine about money when Democrats have more money for a change. - berkay

yes spending all that money on negative ads - money well spent. and don't forget advertising on xbox. the government should put limits on this kind of spending. - Tony Kanzia

Haha... negative POLICY ads are not the same as the dirty smear campaign McCain has been running. - Jason Carreira

Tony, the government *does* put limits on that kind of spending. Each American can donate a maximum of $2300 to any presidential candidate after nomination. Of course a candidate is going to use the money contributed to their campaign before the election. What's the scandal here, that people are contributing money to their candidate of choice? - Kevin Fox

@Tony: The last third-party analysis of ads showed Obama running about 38% negative and McCain 100%. Regarding xbox, so you're against advertising in new mediums? By that logic we'd still only be reading about these campaigns, no radio, no television, no Internet. - AJ Kohn

What everyone seems to forget is that, while it seems a huge waste of money, it's still pumping money into the economy at a time when people are pulling their money out of banks and mutual funds and stuffing it under their mattresses. It's also helpful to note that a huge amount of Obama's fundraising was donated by the little people like me, chipping in $25 or so, not people giving thousands. - Cyndy

i love how these arguments always break down to republican democrat. its always has to be us vs them. it cant just be this is an issue across the bored. Yeah paying ABC and Comcast to run these ads is really helping the economy. the candidates are still running ads I don't watch - the economy must be getting better. come on. - Tony Kanzia

this election is bought. Obama has taken the money he had... invested it. took your money and furthered his coffers. before you start attacking me and calling me a conspiracy theorist: I don't think Soros is bad. Soros follows the rules but he is in this for himself. He puts money into PR and when the economy he invests in becomes unsustainable he will run with his investment. Main Street can't afford to be victimized by his guilt. We need to learn from what happened in South East Asia - AnotherⓟⓁⓊⓂⒷⒺⓇ

When you think about it in relative terms, it's not much money. It would take 550 years of spending at that rate to equal the financial bailout. We spend more in Iraq in two days than all the 2008 presidential campaigns spent combined. - Kevin Fox

Re: deadpool: I'm not so sure. I don't like them as I've said in the post, and every player here as the same issue: is a feature really strong enough to be a stand alone company.

Jason, two things going for Chris, hands on development experience with data intensive applications, and the ability to hold himself well in company and speak well. I can't vouch for his business skills, because I don't know the true state of Faraday Media.
