Please tell me more about my idealogical beliefs of the medical industry!
Bonus points for plausible anecdotes on those you saw die "because of people with this attitude".
Big Pharma REALLY wants your doctor to help you with the smallest of ailments... how can you not be thankful?
A high price is not so high a price to pay, is it?
I think it's more common than you think. Doctors have it quite easy with most people when it comes to "You have X, take Y pill!" while enjoying nice kickbacks from Pfizer, Merck, etc.
Factor in the private healthcare costs and you've got an ongoing national disaster.
It's a freaking computer on a stick for 25$. I'm pretty sure that makes a keyboard and screen more than affordable enough.
And about a "case", it's a prototype. Of course the final product won't have its innards exposed like this.
I'm pretty sure there's a lot of us "mere mortals" who can remember all their passwords (all different ones) without the need to entrust a cyber nanny with said passwords.
Of course, if you have an account for Twitter, Delicious, Digg, Bebo, Bobe, Baba, Bubo, Meeme, Moomo, Mamo, and every other useless social crap out there... I could see the need for a password manager.
I use different passwords for every site I have to log in and I can remember them all. Seriously, why would you need such a service?
Sounds like giving away the keys to your home and hoping nobody comes to rob you.
Those shitfit-prone and/or older people have no idea what a task manager is and would never open it in the first place. Some of them might even have already thrown their computer out the window, you insensitive clod.
My thoughts exactly... both are abominations by themselves, but have them "cooperate" on a project and the result can be quite disastrous.
I'm sure the biggest terrorist attack of our century rings a bell...
The only "TV" I watch is Al-Jazeera online for news, various websites for entertainment and various large-sized flat screens in bars to watch hockey games.
Case in point: there's not much physical mail to be spied on anymore. If you've got something to whisper half way across the country or globe, chances are there's more secure connections out there than USPS.
Yep, that's why I have a 25$ wireless keyboard/mouse combo for with my 1200$ rig.
Description: "Note that this report comes from someone who wants to sell you a $80 gaming mouse with a zillion buttons on it, so a grain of salt is required here. But the question is valid: are the expensive mice really worth anything?"
It's like they just took the results of the test and tagged an ad on it... and no, they're not worth anything over any other device.
From TFA: "The speed tests also indicated that there was no correspondence between the expense of a mouse and its performance. In fact, the slowest laser mouse was not one of the low-end office mice, but a gaming mouse that retails for nearly $100. [...] The WarMouse Meta is now available for $79.99 for Windows and Linux-based operating systems and includes the Metalocity speedtest software."
Slashdot Mirror
Making people understand "this isn't your real anti-virus" should be paid work in itself.
"Nice little Netflix you got there. Pity if something were to happen to take you down, hmm? Your friend, Comcast"
If you're gonna go that route, sign it "The cable industry".

I hope you weren't planning to see that urologist again anytime soon...

STILL no post about how [x] is so much better than NoScript? Slashdot, I'm impressed!

Mod parent fucking gold.
Does that mean that, come judgement day, Skynet will rape us all??
When will antisocial people like me get a fair share of these wonderful innovations? I'm still waiting for that antisocial phone, BTW.

Which, coincidentally, reduces the size of the real peen by as much as 25%!
If said mistake was committing murder, I'm sure some sort of correction is in order. If it's a typo, just get over it like any sane person would.
... and god knows how many hours of great documentaries, indie films, etc.
Yours also contains "fail", but mine has "fail" twice :(

That's right, son. That's right.
A different kind of wort, you insensitive clod!

The damage is done!
