I'm a big fan of multitouch, and in fact am an early adopter, and one of the probably 2000 or so people who bought a TouchStream (the first multitouch keyboard on the market, many years ago, long before TouchStream went bancrupt and was then acquired by Apple...)
But exactly that experience has taught me one thing: You can't beat tactile feedback for keyboard input. As long as your display doesn't have tactile feedback, multitouch sucks and won't replace a regular keyboard.
What multitouch is great at is anal

One of the selling points for my car was that lousy factory stereo would play mp3s. It's not digital storage -- you just burn data CDs filled with mp3s sorted by directory -- but 700 megs is a lot of music with mp3s. More then enough for most of my car rides, plus you can always burn more CDs if you need to:)
I'm surprised this isn't standard equipment nowadays. My Car is anything but high-end and it came with it..... You'd be hard pressed to buy a car cd player separately nowadays that doesn't have the ability to play mp3 cds. The cd player I bought recently can play them, and my only goal for selecting a cd player was to find the 'cheapest player i can find that has an aux input on the front because I will never play cd's on it anyway'.
I use it exclusively for my Zune *ducks*, which I fill with subscription DRM tracks from the Zunepass service *ducks again*.
Zed would have railed against the open secrets that allowed the tiger escape at the San Francisco zoo, and then he'd have been fired or reprimanded for not being politically and socially correct in his approach. No, Zed would have rented a boxing ring and kicked that fucking tiger's ass.
Wow... this person must be wicked old. Most of the photo's of naturalists I've seen on the tubes are well into their 60's but they just keep on running around naked.
seriously, i wish God would stop planting 'evidence' of dinosaurs, this is getting rather tiresome. Sigh. Why does everyone think Christians are stupid? We KNOW there were dinosaurs. Nothing in the bible says there weren't. They lived alongside man thousands of years ago and died out because they couldn't fit on the ark. Except the little ones which I can only assume were sinners.
it's not bad until you have someone else telling you what God wants.
That's the only way anyone has ever heard what god wants. Non-existent entities don't give orders.
That's the thing. I would argue that "mass human suffering" is not what the environmentalists are out to prevent. Millions of people have died needlessly of Malaria in Africa because the US put pressure on African countries to ban the use of DDT. http://www.junkscience.com/malaria_clock.html
Environmentalism in practice is about preserving the environment regardless of the sacrifices it requires of man, not maintaining the environment for the benefit of man.
tl/dr... If you could have someone maybe read small parts of that to me periodically, say once a week, and then talk about what the parts they read mean for an hour or so that'd be great.
Oh and if there could be wine and crackers.
I'll even chip in for the wine and crackers, just like pass a plate around or something.
I sure am glad that I was born at a point in time when we can all agree that the earth is nearly the perfect temperature. I know we're close to the perfect temperature because in the seventies everyone was concerned that it was getting colder and that soon we'd have another ice age. Now, 30 odd years later it's warming up and we're afraid the glaciers will melt and we'll all have to learn to swim, see you down in Arizona Bay.
Thank god the cavemen didn't listen to their climate scientists who said that if they didn't stop driving SUV's it would get too warm and they'd run out of Woolly Mammoths to hunt, then we never would've reached the perfect earth temperature, hell we probably would've thought that the ice age was the only climate suitable for life.
Just wait until dark web goes quantum, then you'll be posting anonymously and publicly at the exact same time until we find out if the cat in the box is dead. Or something.

I imagine that GameVee.com would be more than happy to pick up the slack.
Rollable makes little sense because you'll just look like you have a donkey dick in your pocket.
It already looks like I have a donkey dick in my pocket, you insensitive clod!

Awesome. Thanks for the link.
If you don't mod me according to my post's title I'll understand, you didn't have a choice.
Someone mod this guy up, not because it's a fantastic post or anything, but I don't see it as deserving the troll mod it has received.

Duh.
You haven't lived until you've tried getting Final Fantasy VII for PC running on a modern machine.
This has been in my head all day because of this article. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1Aj2yODys0
Speak for yourself, my parents know the first TWO things. The power button turns it on, and unplugging it turns it off.
I can't wait until they all go on medicare/social security so I can pick up a second job to pay for it.
