    I see your point, and find it ridiculous and pointless. Why would I pay respects to long dead explorers?

    I find much more value in being understood by others then by fighting to redefine a word.
    But if thats what you want to do, then carry on tilting at windmills.

    I think by APC he means Armored Personnel Carrier. Basically a tank without a main gun.

    Also yes, many of the universities have their own police forces. In fact in my city they can even pull you over outside their jurisdiction. You do not need to even be on the campus, just near it.

    Apple's stock price was over 700 in October. It is now at 430. Investors are pissed, and they are LOOSING money.

    My copy was ten dollars for 2013. My 2010 copy cost me ten dollars. Both were the "Professional" versions. Both copies were purchased through Microsoft's home use program. From what I understand if you have a work email from a company that has a Software Assurance agreement with Microsoft you're eligible. You can even just enter your email in to see if you are eligible. If it had been anything more, I wouldn't have been interested.

    The difference in the final tire diameter is extremely little. As in less then 1%. Blaming it on tire size is a cop out. Remember just because the rims were vastly differently sized does not make the final diameter of the tire differently sized. Tires can be taller or shorter.

    LOL
    You expect the CEO of one company to give good comments on a direct competitor. Way to think that through. The best part is that you try to use this against someone who stood up for the CEO but owns said competitor. What you essentially tried to do was drive a wedge in there. A wedge that has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE STORY. You can debate those comments all you want, but they do not have a place in this story. You sir are clearly a troll. A clever troll, but a troll nonetheless.

    Your "no va" story is a old wives tale. It is not true.

    Sure you can mangle Spanish to make a joke, but people have taken it too far. It has led to people like you believing it is true.

    Do not try to defend your comparison, you made a horrible comparison because you did not think it all the way through. Your comparison fails when it goes beyond drinking water. It fails to account for bathing, cooking, and other sundry uses of water. Drop it.

    The TLDR is for your post, which I spent too long trying to make heads or tails of. The TLDR was to tell other people not to waste their time, because that is what it was. The fact that you couldn't comprehend that lends weight to my opinion that you are an idiot.

    You jumped to a conclusion there. That I was a liberal, and that I pay a lot of attention to mainstream media. I actually don't. I make up my own decisions based upon the facts as best that I can find from reputable sources. I tend to pay more attention to BBC, PBS, ABC, and occasionally RT then I do MSNBC, CNN, or FOX.

    If though you were to ask me which group of idiots is the worst, is the FOX/AM radio types. Completely misinformed, refusal to change their mind even when confronted with evidence from more reputable sources. At least most of my more liberal friends are willing to listen to my argument and facts, even if they continue to disagree. My conservative friends refuse to even listen most of the time.
