    on your already small disk to do other things.

    Hi there 2007,

    The netbooks in the future (2010, welcome) have 160GB+ space... Oh, also

    This is a net-oriented device, afterall.

    No, it's not.

    When are you going back home, by the way?

    Sincerely.

    Its not practical that it does not even have a grammar check.

    Not everybody needs a mechanical grammar checker. In your case, however, I can see how that's a concern.

    Google is EVIL. Period.

    Google is no cooperating with the NSA. They are a fully-funded CIA company operation, with stock-price manipulation managed in a hideous outgrowth of the "plunge protection" team.

    Look. George Herbert Walker Bush and his invisible masters are teh real, secret government in the USA. The former head of the secret police has been the Defense Secretary for the past 2 administrations.

    The company captured the US. This became apparent as they engineered the killings of JFK, RFK and MLK - then ensured the downfall of Nixon - to be replaced by Ford, one of the lead stooges on the Warren Commission.

    Google is the new name for Big Brother. This is the principal tool for social control and monitoring of the shadow-corporatist government, enforced through the "TLA's"

    Use this shit, and it's like kissing your own prison floor.

    I don't like to be a grammar nazi, but if you think the OP's post was grammatical, maybe you need a grammar checker yourself. (Hint: take a better look at the first word of what I quoted.)
