    Oh I have my moments of stupidity. I freely admit.

  2. My first law on Survey Shows How Stupid People Are With Passwords · · Score: 1

    When I was 15 I figured out my first law of nature. Said law is, "People are generally stupid."
    In the 27 years since I first figured that out, I have seen no evidence to the contrary.

    Rabid Fanboi: Anyone you disagrees with you, and has the gall to explain why.
    I should know, I used to be one. Now I just believe in using the best tool for the job.

    I have never used Mac Office, Open office has been good enough for my uses. Although I do know that Entourage is truly an abomination.

    If they make money, Microsoft will keep making them.

    Or you could choose to be less polite. Heck, you could even be rude if you wanted to.

    I can hardly wait for this to come out. (Don't flame me yet.)
    Once I get my hands on one used from Craigslist, and install Linux I will finally have the Linux tablet I have been dreaming of for years.

    I don't know about you. But as soon as I realize it is a call from an autodialer, I hangup.

    An email to the address they have on file would be much less creepy and more effective, IMO.

    Because people will ignore the email.
    Just one more piece of spam.

    After decoding your binary posts I am DEEPLY offended!
    I won't decode then for young eyes. But you are a nasty person! That second one is truly vile!

  14. Re:They didn't understand the machinery either. on Rube Goldberg and the Electrification of America · · Score: 1

    Does it make me strange that I want a "grease pit" in my next garage? Oh well, I have always been strange.
    My car is 21 years old. I understand every single part in it, and can usually fix it myself.
    My motorcycle is 30 years old and the same can be said for it.

    That said I am not fanatical about always fixing it myself. Some things require special skills. I had a hard brake line fabricated in a shop, because I have never done it and it takes practice to do it right. I am getting my motorcycle painted this winter, and I will be paying someone to do it, because I was an exceptional job. I could slap a coat of paint on, and it would look pretty good, but I want a bike that people drool over. :) (OK, maybe I would prefer if they just drooled near my bike.)

    When did Microsoft stop leveraging assets to achieve strategic successes that harmonize the enterprise?

    I find email works better for event planning. At least for me, my friends, and my family.
    For the record I am not a facebook hater. I do have an account, and have been able to reconnect with a few long lost friends through it.
