    WRONG!

    Irregardless is not a proper English word.

    It sure looks like a word to me.

    But, how can we show them goatse, if they have no computer?

    You print it out and erect a billboard?

    I doubt anyone on G4 can heat a burrito properly, let alone program in any computer language.

    Well if they get stuck eating a frozen burrito then they might be a kind of cool nerd.

    Because your chosen niche hobby isn't widely held as a "social/physical niche hobby", even when it can be. Cars, guns, and sports on the other hand are supposedly more social when they just have more face to face and are more physical hobbies than being at a keyboard is.

  6. Re:Grayson should be impeached on Florida Congressman Wants Blogging Critic Fined, Jailed · · Score: 1

    It's political speech aimed at fund raising. There are laws that govern that.

    Yes the First Amendment governs that.

    She's a former republican party official trying to raise funds to unseat Grayson. Unfortunately, she is doing it in a fraudulent way which could be in violation of the law and land her in jail.

    Fraudulent how exactly? By using typical political tactics to pull support her way? Sounds like this is par for the political course then, and that the one already in power is trying to silence her.

    And talk about a dichotomy of Karma....Here's a guy whose previous pizza posts are either +5 Funny or -2 Offtopic with not much in between.

    But neither of those changes Karma.

    The mods do not RTFA and thought GP was just trashing Google. That would be my best guess.

    Why in the hell would a manufacturer make a 'world phone' and then sell it to a company that disables the 'world' part of the phone?

    To charge extra to get the "world" part of the phone working. This IS Verizon your talking about.

  10. Re:Worthless gimmicks for worthless cars on Ford's New Cars To Be Wi-Fi Hotspots · · Score: 1

    The AMC Jeeps in general are very sturdy and easy to keep running, but parts are like a mix-mash of GM and Ford. The Chrysler Jeeps on the other hand are more "delicate". I think it was by having made them from military vehicle designs kept them sturdy. They also happen to be really good for offroad for that reason too.

    I have a 1983 Jeep CJ7 that still runs well, but that be a little close for the margin though.

    This is getting offtopic but if "Sonny" is "going to the mattresses" he could be getting his guns. So everybody not on his side should hide. You both are just looking at it from the opposite angles.

    And these are the reasons Windows still has marketshare. The last 2 are not covered by Windows but because its already got the marketshare then the apps are easy to find. Not trying to troll but that is why it does "just work", even with bugs and holes aplenty.

    Legal fact == glorified opinion. It means enough people thought that way for it to become a legal fact.

    Physical discipline is assault,

    I don't know why people think that. I guess physical discipline could be assault at an extreme but forcing someone to take a bunch of pills that have worse side effects than the original problems. I have been on the receiving end of a belt and taking prescribed pills, but the belt felt like a real consequence for doing something because the pills were just "change the dosage/med" because whatever I had before didn't work.
