    USer "That's Unpossible!" asked for back up to a posters claims, then offered no real back up to his counter claim.

    If you are going to as for black up on a claim and then proceed to make a counter claim, you had better provide back up for your counter claim.

    On that note, I have known several Mechanics that purchase $500 cars and jsut do the min. work to keep it running. The cars are always in a constant need for repair, but they only get the bare min. that is needed so they can get to work everyday. [citation needed?]

    Wouldn't the response to that be to place lower taxation on items needed to survive and place a higher tax on luxury items that the "wealthy" are more likely to purchase. That way, people "just surviving" don't pay as high of a percent of their income towards taxes?

    Linux is a belief that an OS does not exsist, or that there is no proof that the OS exists? Doesn't work

    Atheism/Agnosticism are not religions, they are the absense of religion. They would be a computer with no OS installed on it.

    A better choise for Linux would be Hinduism because of the lack of a centralized belief and power structure and the multitude of variations.

    Apple would be (Radical) Islam. Rabid Fanboys

    Linux could be the hundered of branches of Christianity. However, I like Hinduism. Hinduism has many teachings, and people practise differently. Hinduism also claims Buhhdism as a subsect of Hinduism, so that opens you up to even more variation.

  18. Re:Oh Noes! on Microsoft Knew About Xbox 360 Damaging Discs · · Score: 1

    Your portable CD players are made to be... portable. The Xbox 360, is not. Also, many early "portable" CD players would cause play back problems if not held flat. I would not be surprised to find out they also caused damage ot the CD too.

    In addition, I beleive that you are overloockign that fact that the Xbox 360 and a CD/DVD player/drive spin and different rates. That might have something to do with why one is portable, and the other is not.

    I think other posters have said it well. A touch interface has great use on mobile devices where you have a lot of room, and is probably not a bubble there. For desktop computing, I can see benefits; however, the Keyboard and Mouse work really well. So, it will probably not replace them.

    On a corporate level, that is not really a problem. How many companies adopted Flat Screens well before they were the norm for home computing, simply because they were "new"? I know the company I worked for did. Nothing like purchasing 100 Flat Screen when everyone already had perfectly working Monitors.

    Plus, as they become more common place, the price should be driven down.

    Why couldn't you have one monitor flat to place your hands on, and another in the "regular" position to look at.
