Do you like the fire department? The public library? Public education? Guess what...you like socialism! We really need to throw away the false dichotomy between Capitalism and Socialism. There is room for the two to coexist. I am a Christian myself, but I will fight to the death to prevent a Theocracy of any kind from taking hold in the United States.
I just finished grad school in Texas and was dumbfounded on how many arguments I got when I had to teach human evolution. Some of the most basic things that we take for granted as fact were just thrown to the wayside. Fortunately college has a way of forcefully opening your mind, but I really feel for these kids up until that point. No history book is going to be 100% objective, but it is still something that we should strive for.
I'm definitely not an enviro-nazi, but has anybody read any reports on the amount of carbon spam produces? It may be 0's and 1's, but it still requires electricity. Try telling the current environmental that spam will ruin the planet and see how soon you get legislation enacted.
I am a G1 owner and may have to ditch T-Mobile because of bad coverage on the West Coast, but dammit Google Voice has been a killer app for me and has kept me with that particular headset for the last month and I have no intention of switching.
[ahem] I for one welcome our litigious overlords. I'd like to remind them that as a trusted PC tech I can help round up people for them to sue or work in their underground CD mines.
Oh noes!!! I read a chapter out of a book at a store today...STEALING! I recorded some music on my cell phone at a concert...STEALING! I recorded broadcast TV on my home DVR and took out the commercials...STEALING!
You holier-than-thou sanctimonious defenders of big business make me sick. They are out to get as much money as possible without any regard for ethics and people like you not only move out of the way, you defend their actions and allow them to shift terminology so copyright infringement becomes "stealing".
I'll ask one question. Are 24 songs worth utterly destroying somebody's life over, making them destitute and indebted to a soulless conglomerate of businesses?
I had a friend just return a Pre that died within a week, I liked the software but advised her to get something a little friendlier. After reading this article she's deciding between an iPhone and a G1. Amazing how these companies do not learn from other failures when people's privacy was invaded. Amazon, I'm lookin' at you.
I own a motorcycle and love it here in Texas where I can ride year round. However in a few weeks I'll be taking a job in Northern Nevada where I may only get 6 or 7 months of comfortable ride time before snow season comes and goes. There are some drawbacks however... It is uncomfortable to ride for more than a few hours, even in a cruiser like mine. Very limited cargo capacity for running to the store and such. Very limited passenger capacity (not always a drawback). I will say however that I have had girls scream at me riding around campus that wouldn't give me a second look had I not been on a bike. Of course YMMV.

That logic is ridiculous. In the scope of international affairs does that mean an armed assault is an appropriate and legal response to a taunting?
There's a Soviet Russia joke here somewheres. Maybe I'll come back after my coffee.

In all fairness, if this had been an iPhone experiment we'd be hearing nothing but how great of an idea it was.
So there really is an app for everything!

Wake me up when I can block ads, Flash, 3rd party cookies, and scripts. Until then it's just another browser.
If it's a flying object outside, or a FOO then it deserves our pity
Sir I like your ideas and would like to subscribe to your newsletter
Can you !(*^&%$%^$#-ing hear me NOW????
When reading this, did anybody else have the voice of Samuel L. Jackson going through their heads?
Where does Perl fit into all of this? Is that at night when the leather and chains come out?
Really...?
No overlords joke?

Wish I had some mods.
I couldn't have put it better myself.

There's an app for that!
So to summarize...nobody is the villain in their own story.
I hope they bring Clippy back!
"I see you're trying to drunk dial your ex. Would you like some help with that?"
So...I show that you were in a T-Mobile store when your Pre crashed, how interesting...

We could split one of the square states into a North X and South X so we don't have to change the flag.
I call North South Carolina and South South Carolina!
Who said anything about money? The parent was going to pay for the car in cheese.

Don't forget crappy sports teams looking to substitute new snazzy logos for wins
