    I'm thinking that the qualifications for being a "dud" are a little biased. Basically anyone under 25 is probably going to come up as a dud. I lived somewhere different every year through college and for several years after, I rented every time, I still don't have a professional license of any sort. while I haven't filed for bankruptcy I did get involved in some good ol college shenanigans that have caused the police to be a bit familiar with my extracurricular activities but it's nothing serious. crap, now that I've started thinking about it, maybe I am a loser? shit, thanks Rosa! I now hate myself

    wait, did you say something about knee-highs?

    Sorry about the whole knee-highs thing. I just really needed to go rob a bank, you see, and well, they were just laying out in the open, so I thought, you know, strike while the iron's hot, right?

    But, again, I'm really sorry. As soon as I get out of federal prison, I'll pay you back. Promise!

    @Digo: Dear Rosa,

    I am a 19 year old gadget user. I was polygamous for many years, but I am now very much in love with my computer, with whom I share an exclusive relationship.
    The other day I ran a virus scan on my recently new computer. It came back positive! I confronted her about it, but she swears she hasn't been looking at malicious sites. I'm afraid she's been networking with other computers. I love her very much and do not wish to break up, but I just don't know if I can trust her anymore. What should I do?

    @psychiccheese: Dear Heartbroken Hacker,

    I hate to be the one to break it to you, but your beloved is being unfaithful to you. Chances are that the hussy has been letting anyone stick his flash drive into her ports (all her ports).

    The best course of action is to sever. I know it'll be tough, but sometimes you just need to pull the plug on these things.

    Best of luck,

    I like dating a gadget lover. Not only do we then have something in common, but I can play with his hardware without actually having to buy it.

    PS-If you ever want a gadget freak to set up anything new for you, no matter how complicated, just leave it in the box, and say (carelessly) that "I will put it take it out of the box tomorrow or something" and walk away. #iphone

    @Curves: You think you're being so clever. Truth be told, we secretly hope (and on occasion even push) you to get new gadgets so we can play with them without spending money. (Currently in the process of nudging every eligible friend I have towards buying a Droid.)

    As for fixing things: every dude wants to be the hero somehow. In this culture, though, it's considered poor taste to stage a back-alley mugging for the sole purpose of swooping in and saving the damsel in distress. So, we stick to fixing broken stuff.

    So, everyone's happy, really. ;-)
