Why waste time hating something you don't use? Especially something you don't have to use?
Twitter is just a website that allows people to post snippets of text that other people can subscribe to. That's it.
Do you also have an unreasonable hatred of some book genres you don't read? Movies you don't watch? Videogames you don't play? Sports you don't care about? If so, why?
It's not awful, just a projection of the future of the language. Just as the Chinese of today isn't pronounced the same as the Chinese of five hundred years ago.
Mass Effect. Your character really gets compellingly swept up into huge events effecting the galaxy and you have many choices to change things from the minute (do I deck this guy or blow him off?) to the massive (kill the last survivors of a formerly hostile alien race or let her and her brood live?).
I have a corner office with extremely bright wall sized windows right behind me. I also have a new glossy iMac and it looks great! I do see the reflection of the trees outside, but unless I'm purposefully looking at it the content of the monitor effectively blocks it out. Direct sunlight coming in is really the only thing that makes the monitor unusable.
I can do both. I devour print books, and I throughly enjoy good audiobooks, but only while driving.
Currently the only good audiobooks I have found are: the unabridged version of "A Short History of Nearly Everything", "A Song of Ice and Fire", and anything by Alan Watts or Feynman.
Perhaps you should feel envious of the "hyperlex" who isn't incapacitated by someone reading words to them.:-)
1. Can't lean back in the recliner and game with a mouse.
2. Mice aren't ergonomic, they just aren't.
3. The mouse+keyboard control scheme is simply artifical. Either you are controlling a killing machine who can turn on a dime and change view points by dozens of degrees of arc every second without disorientation, or you are working up to some truly epic carpal tunnel.
Right. Because when I'm playing as a World War II soldier my character should be capable of turning 180 degrees in less than a second every few seconds without disorientation. Oh wait
I used to be like you, truly I did. I graduated from only keyboard controls for Wolfenstein 3d and Doom to mousing in Quake. A godsend it was! Surely, I thought, no other control scheme could ever allow such effortless control. I played Goldeneye on the N64 for ten horrifying minutes, all the while complaining at the horrible controls. The last PC FPS I played was Quake 3: Arena.
I think it was Splinter Cell that did it. Its mix of a 3rd person perspective and compelling gameplay subtly forced me into the two thumbstick mindset. Then I played Halo and hit a wall and gave up on FPS gaming (my PC was woefully outdated). THEN I played Halo 2 in co-op mode and something just clicked. The two analog stick controls now feel so fluid and effortless, mouse + keyboard now feel clunky and artificial.
9/11 will always be remembered because *this* time the forces of history have cleverly embedded the date in the name of the event. Of course we will eventually forget the year 9/11 occured in.
Everyone (American) remembers that Pearl Harbor happened, they just don't remember when. If Pearl Harbor were called the 12/7 attack then everyone would know the date for it as well.
just because some over zealous luddites want 1080p content does not mean the bulk of the Tv viewers do.
That word doesn't mean what you think it means. In fact, it means the exact opposite of what you think it means.
Also, everyone I know who has seen real HD content (either HDDVD or Bluray) agree that DVD pales in comparison. My wife and I bought 'Hot Fuzz' on HDDVD and watched it about 3/4ths of the way through when we ran into disc corruption problems. While we, of course, got the disc replaced, to finish the movie we flipped it over to the DVD side. A huge drop in quality was quite apparent. Ditto for a straight up DVD version of the movie.

Hulu has all of the first two seasons of Babylon 5. Also a ton of full length movies. And Firefly. Why are you complaining again?
Get a Drobo and use it as a backup disk.
Even better: get two and use one as primary storage and another as backup.

I can get me (or more often my brothers) bragging rights for doing something crazy, difficult, awesome, silly etc. in the game.
Also since achivements are usually given at major game points, we can all see how much we've all respectively completed.

But the XBox Live version has achivements. Achivements!
More like Morbo.
Or perhaps Wornstrum.
I find the webif interface to openwrt to be even better.

What an odd post. An iPhone certainly isn't a month's income, nor is an iPod. Nor is a MacBook Pro for that matter.
How is a laptop or computer capable of running all three major OSes "absent of value"? How is an iPod?
Boohoo, cut out thirty minutes of the languid slowmotion ending.

Thank you.
I loved it tons, I even reviewed it (5/5).
Totally agree. As an upcoming Dad, I really hope that my wife and I don't fall into this trap; but since it is so widespread I suspect we will. :-/
Exactly.
Dude, NextBus is old school.
e.g. NextBus for Chapel Hill, NC

Unless you live on a coastal flood plain, then you have the exact opposite of a basement.

Because so many, like myself, only bought a PS3 to play movies.
The thing even comes with a movie as a pack-in now. Its priorities are clear.
