    You think Yahoo needs to be told they are pissing people off? Yahoo and Sun don't care about those who they are pissing off. Anyone getting pissed off about it wouldn't be caught dead with a toolbar add on anyway. Who they are getting are the next button clickers.

    Darwin should take care of reinforcing this lesson? You're seriously saying that people should learn that hot things burn by survival vs. death?

    if you haven't learned this by the time you reach an age where you are ordering your own coffee from McDonald's then sadly .... Yes. Darwin should kill that dumb fuck before they breed.

    Thing is. If you don't like your coffee as hot as they serve it a a certain restaurant you are free to buy coffee from another place.

    I think "Sod-er" is how I have never heard that word pronounced. I live in the US. Maybe in this one case it's your ears that are the problem.

    Stupid. Pointless. Craptastic post are all perfectly good comments for this post.

    Seriously though. Shouldn't I at least get an achievement for this?

    You will just throw anything out there to bash Microsoft.

    I Hate you. You are going to make me defend Microsoft and for that you should be shot.

    1 Its only like McDonald's employees spitting in your food if the sign on the wall say's "Attention all McDonald's food comes with spit." Then your dumb ass analogy would make sense. I wouldn't at that point be bitching at McDonald's but laughing at those paying for spit.

    2 It is perfectly ok for a company to decide what they want to offer and what they don't. As long as Microsoft is not making it impossible for me to go somewhere else to get my apps I am perfectly ok with it. It is a dumb ass decision that will drive some of their profits to another company but I am ok with freedom and choice.

    What is your real problem with this?

    Did having a right to work hurt the unions? So sorry. Also. By "WE". I meant every single citizen of the US. We are all responsible for not rebolting against a government that is NOT for the people. Democrat or Republican the only difference is who they screw the people over for.

    We did ALOT!

    We gave craploads of money to teachers unions and then made high school easy to pass without learning anything so the teachers did't look to bad

    We passed onerous environmental and labor laws encouraging companies to abandon the US.

    We ran around and screamed and yelled that everyone should be coddled and no one should be fired.

    We did alot. We are getting exactly what we paid for.

    We have strong unions getting massive benefits at the cost of the consumer and the citizen. Because smartly, the businesses pass on the true costs of what we wanted right back to us. If you don't like what you got, then look at us. Not "Evil big business".

    Why would a solid state device fail from multiple submergings? Especially if there is no current running through it during said submergings?

    Sometimes its not the washing that kills it. Sometimes its the little drop of water left in the device when you plug it back in that will kill it.
