Amy

Nope, I'm phoenixx24, remember? :) - Amy

I guess I decaffeinated a little too quickly :) - Carlos Urrutia

Did you leave the scrobbler running on a single song? I've done that. - Dave Friedel

Dave, Dave, Dave...*shakes head* You need to pay attention to the details. The devil is in the details. - Amy

i.e. I did not listen to one track 43 times in one minute :) - Amy

I just skim. Who are you again? :P - Dave Friedel

the devil :) - Carlos Urrutia

I still don't get what happened. - Dave Friedel

I dunno, that sounds like quite a sight... - Amy

well, you now know where to go for next guy fawkes day next year :) - Carlos Urrutia

You fawkers. :) - Dave Friedel

hey, she's the fawker of the group :) - Carlos Urrutia

I suspect they never made it across the pond. I was listening to 'Love is only a feeling' (http://www.youtube.com/watch...) when this occurred to me. - Amy

I was thinking more along these lines :) http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Carlos Urrutia

lol. Negatory on that front. - Amy

rats! :) - Carlos Urrutia

lol, theoretically then. :) And none of this 'it depends on the person', people, ofc it does - I mean generally. - Amy

I would say +5 and -10 but it also depends on the person's age. If I'm 20 I wouldn't date someone who's 10 years old. - Sylvain Nadeau

Divide by two and add seven for how much younger. Not sure about older. - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF) from iPod

I'm 45 so I would go +/- 6 Years - SCS Watching the Sun

I'm 37, so -10/+5 I think... - Thomas

-15 and +5. I'm shopping for a trophy wife. - Dave Friedel

I dated a 24 year old and I was 46 - VAL D.

I'm thirty. I'd probably go as young as 21 or so, but that would have to be one mature female. I don't have an upper limit. - Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF

I'd be reluctant to go more than five years in either direction. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

I'd probably do -10/+5 at most. - Carlos Urrutia

Iiiiiiiiiinteresting, and you're all guys, right? On paper I'd probably want to agree with John (dendroica) but...I'm 27 and I definitely don't think I'd go younger than 21, I don't know about up the way, maybe +10. - Amy

I think women in general seem to think '-5/+10' or thereabouts, which is kinda interesting. (Maybe only up to a certain age, mind you. And maybe it's just the women I know. I have one friend who's bf is at least +12, another who's is +10.) - Amy

I would date guys who are 15 years older than me; probably one year younger. - Shevonne

Hehe, so weird that guys/girls are opposites in that way. Although, not surprising. - Amy

Not a clue. I wouldn't imagine so - there'll be people who don't get the glasses, even though they're free. - Amy

Don't you already have the silly glasses anyways? :) - Carlos Urrutia

Depends, it might be those red/green glasses - Amy

Wonderful. Amy having a psychotic episode. This should be fun. - Dave Friedel

yup, even better if we can record it :) - Carlos Urrutia

lol, it's blue and red glasses. Although, frankly, they make everything look so frigging psychadelic I'm not sure I could wear them for a whole show. We'll see, it starts on the 16th or something. Also, I will NOT be having any psychotic episodes - those only happen when I come into contact with apple fanboys/itunes or at 'special' times. - Amy

ok, keep away from you rughtly every 30 days, got it. - Carlos Urrutia

Sadly most don't even know the difference. - Amit Morson

Oh no. Is Miley Cyrus on tour again? - Fleagle

Fleagle: LOL - Carlos Urrutia

lol, no, Owl City actually. *awaits ridicule* - Amy

So it's not a "Europe tour" unless every European country is covered? Or a "US tour" if only 20 states are played? :-) - Slippy "Threadsbane" Lane

At least when they say 'European Tour' they don't just mean they're playing France. - Amy

Geography fail! - Christian (Simply X)

Dude Owl City fucking rocks. Don't hate ;) - Maxamad (Amazigh)

Well, I know, that's why I was awaiting the tour news so I could go see him. :) I don't mean to single him out in particular since his email just says, 'European tour....yadda yadda...starting in the UK' I mean musicians in general, it happens quite frequently. - Amy

That's like a North American tour with 20 dates in the US and 1 in Canada. - Dave Friedel

Yeah, those Canadians would be getting a pretty bum deal there! :) - Amy

It's just Texas - the Wisconsin of the South... :) - Thomas

Hahahahah. Cameras may also steal your soul! - Mo Kargas

Her reasons may be atypical, but FWIW, with very few non-felony-conviction exceptions, I don't think anyone should be forced to divulge their biometrics to anyone. - LogEx

Thomas: You and Dave are spoiling my aspirations of visiting Texas and being greeted by nothing more than hot cowboys and a massive BBQ. Now, apparently I'm going to get shot, and possibly burnt at the stake if this stuff is anything to go by! - Amy

LogEx: TBH, I don't really see the big deal with fingerprints (maybe I'm super-naiive). Now, if they wanted a sample of her blood or something, that'd be a different story. I got mine taken when entering the US on holiday and can't say I was bothered by it. - Amy

As I recall, its a republican state, so you just might anyways :) - Carlos Urrutia

Biometrics are not revocable. If you have my thumbprint, you can make a gelatin thumb that will fool most thumb scanners. You can plant my thumbprints at the scene of a crime. You can find my thumbprints on my ballots. etc. And you can't get a new thumbprint. I think she's stretching it, but I can totally understand why she's not happy about it. - Wirehead

My reasons are similar to what Wirehead stated, and the key being "Biometrics are not revocable". But it's not only direct abuses. Databases are prone to leaks and there's no telling where the data will end up. When huge corporations and government agencies and departments have trouble keeping their data secure, I have very little hope for an elementary school to be able to keep its... more... - LogEx

Wow, you guys are paranoid. Hehe. :) Wirehead kinda brought up the reason why I'm not so bothered: they could get them anywhere. And yeah, you could get set up, but... if the government REALLY wanted to do that to you, I don't think they'd let a tiny detail like not having your fingerprints get in the way. I think blood/DNA is different, but fingerprints...*shrug* - Amy
