More specifically, are these 'pictures' simply static pictures, or full motion (video). And black and white or full colour? And can you include / reproduce sound?

Hate facial hair. I bought an electric shaver. It takes 30 seconds every day or two. Of course I also have to look professional for work, but thats mostly besides the point, I guess.

You're welcome to join. Good company is always appreciated. :)

I do this too. Eating out isn't an everyday occurrence for me (well, when Im at home anyway) - my cooking skillz are fairly decent. While I'm likely to eat out almost every night of the working week since Im away and hotel bound, at home I'm more likely to cook up something on my own. Still from...

I already have. America (now known as the United States this time round) is no longer an impoverished country battling a perpetual state of famine and disease. The Amazon desert now seems to be a lovely little jungle (although mankind seems to be bringing it back to desert again). There are some...

Agreed, but thats only the half of it. Its really boring sitting there playing with your cutlery while you wait for your food. If I go, I definitely bring along something to occupy myself. Absolutely. Its not that its always a choice for me, but if I had friends to invite, I would do so. That...

Fashion is for people who have got nothing better to do. I am neither a terrible dresser nor a good dresser. Normal for me is loose jeans, unmarked black/blue/white T shirts (bought in bulk from Primark every couple of years) and plain sneakers. I look so average and unremarkable that I can...

A friend of mine sent me a link to a Reddit conversation yesterday about dining out and going to the cinema alone - link here [http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/pniez/i_have_no_problem_eating_alone_in_a_restaurant/] Its something he and I have clashed on several times. I have no real...

I was reading the thread with some amusement and agreement, not planning on replying until I hit this subject ... :) I have developed systems, or processes that help me out of these situations (slightly) so that I dont get into trouble with friends/family/landlord/colleagues when they come...

Im always skeptical about other peoples opinions for bad movies, especially since so many people troll and denounce some fairly reasonable movies - even if they dont like it, doesnt mean to say they were bad. But that said, there are definitely some arb movies out there. I was reading my RSS...

You are reviving and old old flame war. :) Star Wars!!! All the way. Star Trek is too regimented, squeaky clean and low on proper action and not far enough in the future for me (or not long long time ago enough, either way works). Star Wars overall has a grittier and dirtier feel to it, what...

Theres tons of good ones, but everyones tastes are so different that I often get exasperated when I recommend something and then their feedback indicates mediocrity. I once took a girl along to an evenings anime showing where they alternated between Samurai 7 and Midori no Hibi. I liked Samurai...

Electric Piano. 88 key graded hammer full piano keybord, not an electronic synthesiser. Damn, posted that almost a month ago. Sorry for not replying, I dont check my profile page very often.

Thats sad. If you're good at reading then subtitles should come naturally. There are many many titles which never get an English translation and I feel a bit sad to think people will miss out on such excelent stories. The fansubbers who put out their work do amazing jobs in exposing us to Asian...

I used to play Moria endlessly. Much later I tried Nethack but didnt get into it so much, but that may have been a time issue on my side. Also, I consider Diablo a roguestyle game and I played that to death as well.

I don't have a huge interest in sports, actually, its pretty no-existent. I do watch a bit of cricket when some big matches are on (anyone in the US know cricket?) But one thing did enjoy a lot was F1 before I sold the TV. Playing sports is different and used to get involved with quite a few...

Etymology. For someone who's interested in words, thats a pretty poor performance ..... :phear: (Just kidding!!) [ <-automatic reaction due to a lifetime of abuse taken through all the misunderstandings of my rapid fire one off comments. I suspect this forum is probably a safer place than most...

Multiplicity with Michael Keaton?

Ah yes, the guys over on the spacesim forums mentioned something about an upcoming announcement from Egosoft - I guess this must be it. There are some folks on the open source side of things trying their hand at filling the void. The problem there being that these projects never seem to reach...

No, I meant alone, as in you were the only one in on the joke. The expected response which never came. Fair enough, the way I played it in my head, I imagined a more humorous, if not one sided, interchange. I have that when I meet people, I just throw snap literals into a conversation thats...

So I have to ask, do you feel alone when this happens? As in - you were feeling quite jovial at the time, there was an obvious snotty reply just screaming to be said, and once said you could both share a laugh with each other. But it never came, and thus you felt possibly a little sad or...

Damn, I didn't realize Jesse's link was the same one. Sorry for the repeat post, but I guess that grants it a bit more credence.

Theres a cure for that. Don't pick up another book until you're finished. As much as its a very fuzzy method, Id actually browse through the thread 'You know you're an INTP when...' http://www.intpforum.com/showthread.php?t=2599 If you start nodding your head at about 70% of them, you might be...

The thing missing most in my life is what I call companionship. I don't need a girl to help me out in any other area, ie to look after me, cook, clean, pay the bills - I can do them all for myself and I think its very two dimensional to have these as sole requirements for a mate. No, what Id...

My 2c for this years games (and I suppose just gaming in general lately) I've gone off MMOs in a big way, I spent 6 months on EVE last year and a considerable time on Guild Wars before that and the human interaction element did nothing for me. So lately I've been trying to see what games are...

Damn, and there I was thinking mine was one of the more positive and constructive posts. I must work on my PR skills. You're right though, in theory there is nothing we can't do, but things like social settings and long term goal targets are our Kryptonite, and working with these in the mix is...

Lately I've been obsessing over the possibility (hope?) that an ENTP girlfriend might come along who has similar interests as I do. Then that would negate most of my grumbles about having a mate and still getting to do what I want to do. I've long noticed now that I seem to be highly attracted...

Watch movies, read books, play games. But too much of these I see myself going on a depressive loop (actually it feels more oppressive, like the walls are pushing inwards and crushing me) so I grab my camera and go outside for a long walk or cycle. Sometimes I spontaneously jump in the car and...

Youre better than I am. Your join date is March 2011 and you already have 39 posts. I've joined exactly 1 year before you did, and I only have 37 (at the time of writing this, naturally) . The internet is no empowerment over shyness for me, I am as reserved online as I am IRL. When I read the...

Some pretty sage thoughts coming out here. I've just turned 39 about a month ago. I still feel like I'm around 25 for all the 'maturity' I've gained. But lately Im wondering if thats a good thing at all. So yes, Im nearly 40, Im still single, no girlfriend on the horizon. I'm living in a...

Part of my job is what you might call problem solving. I [am part of a team of people who] implement large ERP systems. As a tech consultant, not only do I get to play with some of todays modern enterprise technology, but sometimes I also get called in to fix various problems. Most problems I...

Hmmm, the threads been banging around for ages now, probably run out of steam, but, not that anyone cares, I'll put mine out there just for the sake of participating. Also thanks to this list, I can go and check out a few others that I havent come across in my travels. Im always trying to find...

I also enjoy it a lot. It definitely hits a bit close to home. I fall somewhere in between Sheldon and Leonard, character-wise. But most of all I like the nods to all the various bits of geek-dom, from video-games to movies to Sheldon rebuilding his Linux computer to casting real life sci-fi...

I don't see how this is a problem. Girls who know what they want and say so are useful. They give you purpose. Now heres the turn on... If you are truly INTP, you will have visualized the outcome of her request instantaneously. If it doesn't sit well with you (or you just feel like pushing back...

Hmm, I suspect you didn't quite get the full impact about what I was saying. I care very little about stalkers. Stalk me all you like if it makes you feel happy, but I very much doubt I have any appeal to attract any stalkers. Thanks for the concern, tho. What I was trying to allude to privacy...

I use it grudgingly. I share photos of my travels with some close friends and family. Its the most convenient way. At least I get feedback here which never happened when I had a Flickr account. Also I randomly keep in touch with some folk I wouldn't normally do. But, I have maxed out my...

Well, while I would have hoped that you would have been drafted into a non-combat corps like engineering or signals or some such, its not impossible that no matter what your role is, bad luck can happen and you stray into an enemy ambush. This is why you have to go through basic training...

OK, thanks for reading my post objectively. You guys made some valid points however, but I wanted to point out that the intention for that post was purely on being as objective about the experience as possible. I made a point not to bring ethical views and moral opinion into it. I just wanted to...

So is the poll just based on web surfing? I have 1 uber desktop, 1 laptop, 1 netbook. (And another laptop for work). So besides surfing the web, I game, I program (for fun), post process pictures for my photography. My laptop is mainly connected to the projector for movies, my netbook is used...

Damn, I wanted to comment on the original topic but I see this thread has mutated far too much. In this case, I just want to say that I'm insulted that my country was not mentioned in the list of insulted countries who drive on the wrong side of the road. I think your education is lacking. :evil:

Hi, sorry that I haven't spotted this topic until now, but Im not that big on forum socializing and I tend to just hang out from time to time in the INTP section. That said, may I ask how old you are? And whether this is just standard Israeli conscription and how long will it be for? I come...

I was having my quarterly appraisal discussion with my boss last month who said I needed to try harder at some things in order to be recognized for that next promotion. At that point it dawned on me what normal people get motivated by. It also made me want to give her a lecture on MB typing in...

My school years, especially high school, were not easy. I was genuinely the guy who was always teased and picked on. And the last chosen for the football team. What I found myself doing, right up into my 30s (and even now at some socials), was that I was doing what I just recently discovered as...

I'm not sure that some of the people here on on the right track with regards to desiring intellectual conversation. All types are capable of achieving highly intellectual discussions, although I have to say that SJs, STs and NTs are usually more consistent at this than most. There are many of...

Haha, now that is pretty weird and uncanny :-) I do these forums in bursts. Im interested for a couple of days then I leave it for a month or two, and then come back and find that people have been trying to talk to me. heh, lol The elitist idea is more superiority by notoriety. Its quite...

I think responses have been pretty low because most INTPs will read this, do a double take and think 'What? Whats this health and harmonious living BS?!?! A waste of brain mips' I actually do get out on good weather days. I have an innate desire to explore, go adventuring and discover new...

Hmmm, coincidentally, I just brought this up in a conversation I had with a colleague of mine not even 3 hours ago. He's going through some difficulties and I was explaining to him about the fact that humans are weak and buckle easily to external pressure and temptations. And because of that, I...

Eeek, not checking up on my person profile enough. :-| Eh, well, I just felt that I was always hacking around with coding and software and gadgets. I needed a name that was a bit unique in the world so I wouldnt have to go around inventing usernames like Zaphod2756442. And so BitRogue was born...

ESFJs seem a bit shallow to me, and they do not do enough abstract thinking to engage me in in any serious conversation. Interestingly enough, I dated an ENFJ many years ago. At first it was great, but after a while I came to the realization that I wasn't getting my recommended daily dose of...

I get what you're saying. For me, not the whole world, no. And maybe not so much change as either add to or make a difference in areas I feel that I can add value. I sit on that balance where I am about as equally logical as I am creative. Currently I am doing a job where I am making a...
