And are any of these MILLIONS (citation needed...) that need the cap-lock key every day going to be using a Google Chrome netbook? Most likely not. This is designed to be a light duty web tool, not a work machine. It's like asking butter knives to cut down trees. Sure they both cut things..but use the right tool for the job.
The moment you come down with diabetes or another life changing illness and no insurance company will cover you because of a pre-existing condition, I want you to imagine me pointing at you and laughing, you giant idiot.
I'll address the Objectivity thing. Ok, here's two scenarios:
Print media - Writer and editor let a story slide through with factual errors (IE: most of FOX news). 20 years ago, how would anyone know? Unless we had direct knowledge of the facts, most people would not know the difference. Newspapers at the time were the equivalent of a deaf man on a soapbox yelling at people. One way communication that the majority of people had to take as the truth, regardless of the actual facts.
Online media - Writer and editor let a story slide through with factual errors - The Internet collectively calls bullshit and the writer/editor/blog is discredited. The truth makes it out in the time it takes to type it in. We see it every-single-day. A piece of news becomes a discussion and the truth is generally revealed for all. News is reported, investigated, vetted, buried in peat moss and dug back up before being framed for all to see. This is the advantage of the on-line media and one of the reasons I think print media is scared as hell. They can and have been called out on hidden agendas and sloppy reporting.
Journalism is not dead, just your ability to be the lord high gods of information traffic. I don't mourn it.
Mot of your comments above boil down to "You can't trust bloggers, they might be sleestak, but you can trust us, cause we're not sleestaks."
If all print media disappears tomorrow, thousands of other sources will spring up in it's place. It's time to close up the buggy shop and learn to make cars.
On point three, As far as sex goes, every couple slows down eventually. Its a matter of keeping pace and being understanding and loving. If you are both ok with your level of activity, there will be no problems. There are couples that live happily never having sex, because that's what they both want.
Most of the time though, one person slows down and the other starts getting antsy. If there's a lack of communication and compromise, then things get tense and cheating starts. It comes back to talking about your problems before they become big problems.
I would restate it as "Couples that don't disagree and discuss will fail" using the word "argue" implies some negative emotion. The wife and I often have civil disagreements we talk out and reach an agreement. Its about communication instead of bottling things up. If you don't talk and share problems and anoyances, it will do nothing but fester and cause resentment.
OK.. for starters, the arrow thing. You never said you saw the arrow being split, just that you saw a "split" arrow. I could go in my shop and make one for you in about 5 minutes. They did test with cheap arrows at first, then went and found straight grain arrows to test with again. They proved that its nearly impossible to split an arrow unless it's made of bamboo. You probably missed that part while you were getting a beer.. again. This was debunked strictly because they were unable to replicate the myth, and were unable to find any evidence that this had actually happened, anywhere.
The rocket car.. The air force has never sold working RATO/JATO engines to anyone. Ever. They confirmed this. The FIRST time they tried it, the rockets they used were 3 hobby engines chained to produce the same thrust as a RATO engine. They brought in rocket experts to do the math. Now, if your talking about the SECOND time they tried it, they did have a single engine custom made for them to JATO specs by a rocket manufacturer. It was not cobbled together. It exploded on launch due to some defect in the fuel pack. They debunked the car myth because no one has any evidence the original event ever happened. No police reports, no death or missing person reports, no missing RATOs.. nothing. not a singed hair or crushed tire to be found besides the text on your computer screen.
Now, yes, I will say that occasional I do yell at the TV when they are doing something plainly wrong, but I do think that most of their effort is reasonable. Next time try watching more than ten minutes of an episode before you launch into bald faced inaccuracies, you twit. penis.
Music is typically pirated for personal use and enjoyment.
Software in this case, is pirated to avoid paying licenses for something you use to make money. Office and PhotoShop are used to run a for-profit venture.
This is not information wanting to be free, this is the same as someone stealing tools from a work site or a ladder from someones backyard.
If it's no secret, then why did you post anything you had to "Strongly" demand they take down later? My Linkedin profile is filled out, and I don't care who sees it. There is nothing in there that I don't want people to see. Anyone who posts info to a site (any site...), regardless of the conditions, then b1tch3s about privacy concerns is amusingly naive.
Just interested to hear how you can dismiss one belief system (Astrology) for not providing any substantial proof of validity while professing belief in another system (Christianity) that is unable to provide any substantial proof of validity?
I mean they advertise that you can have unlimited phone calls for 19.95 but never mention in their advertisements that you need to shell out another 40 dollars for cable internet. First, What kind of **idiot** does not see the multiple notices that you must have a broadband connection available before signing up. Second, Skype is fine, but I would like to use an actual phone when I talk to people, not a headset on my computer. It's an ergonomics thing. I actualy do manage to step away from the screen once an a while. All the solutions I have seen for using an actual phone with skype are complicated and half assed. Most normal people do not want to deal with that level of complexity. Vonage just works, and is simple enough for even my mom to figure out. Besides, Skype is the same sort of scam. No one ever told me you have to have a computer turned on 24 hours a day! moron.
It would not suprise me. I was a Pentax fanboy for years, and it was always disapointing how they seemed to struggle to keep up with Canon and Nikon. Now, I have swiched to the Rebel EX 8mp) and am not looking back. Stuff is looking good as well, check it out: http://photozz.deviantart.com/gallery/
Try five monitors on one engeneering class machine, three laptops and 8 workstations for testing. Seriously, make all the "Swordfish" jokes you want, but this rocked. I was able to have e-mail, Music, a text editor, a VMware session and Visual Studio open, and see it all at once. Plus, the setup cost me nearly nothing as I was able to scavenge almost all of it from the scrap pile at work. I found that no mater what setup I have been using, peace and quiet alowed me to get the most done. the best equipment in the world won't help unless you are not interupted every two minutes.

And please, don't be someone your wife looks up to-- be someone she's proud of :)
My wife is 5'3... she has to look up at me.

Type in your command code and detonate the suit in a low yield thermonuclear explosion.
I would tend to agree. I would attribute it more to ineffective police and court systems and massive corruption as opposed to an income disparity.
