    No need to worry about if X will run well on it, simply pop in the disk and play.

    I know someone who had an Xbox without a hard drive. Therefore, he couldn't play Halo 4 until he upgraded his console. Tell me more about this "pop and play" idea.

    I don't know, I can't see GLaDOS wearing rouge. Maybe just a little polish on the exoskeleton.

    It ought to be acceptable to register dissatisfaction with the election results in this free country of ours.

    There's a difference between registering your dissatisfaction and being a whiny childish douchebag. These secessionists fall into the latter category.

    The way to avoid this is to work with the opposition and hammer out compromises. The Democrats failed to compromise from 2008-2010, feeling they didn't need to, and in 2010 they reaped the results.

    It's laughable that you think it's the Democrats that need to compromise.

    The point is, Obama does not have a strong mandate and would do well to incorporate some of the moderate and conservative fiscal ideas into his policies going forward.

    I guarantee you that if Romney had won by the same electoral margin, we'd be hearing nothing but "mandate" being screamed from the right.

    Yeah, after all, who needs all their old apps to run when they upgrade their OS?

    All in all a very drivable car, great end of year pricing, and very low cost to drive. EVs are here, available and practical. I love mine.

    The problem with the Leaf is that it looks like a fat squashed frog. I know this probably doesn't matter to you, but it does for much of the car-buying public. The nice thing about the Model S is that it's an electric car that actually looks pretty sharp.

    The PC isn't going anywhere, in fact I have yet to meet anyone that doesn't have at least 2 if not more.

    Hi, I'm Yunzil. Nice to meet you! I have exactly one PC. Unless you count the old ones sitting in the closet gathering dust.

    This is inflation... it isn't "useful"

    Uh, yes it is, because...

    The only real good thing about inflation is that in limited amounts, it encourages spending instead of hoarding.

    Which is useful.

    Good thing it wasn't a ban then. The bulbs just have to meet a certain energy standard. The industry demonstrated to Congress incandescent bulbs that met the new standard.

    Windows has always been behind the curve. It didn't get a decent GUI until it blatantly copied the Mac OS in 1995

    We do not want unification

    The question is "How would you fix the Linux desktop". This attitude of not wanting unification is precisely the problem.

    we will be able to do things that will be innovative

    You mean like not be able to agree on anything, form more splinter groups, fork the code a few more times, and create more layers of confusion?

    "Fucked up right from the ground" meaning that I can install 15-year-old software on it and have it run perfectly?

    Did you every read about how they worked long hours fixing other people's bugs so that popular software packages would still run on Windows 95? Why? Because if a game worked on Windows 3.1 but didn't work on 95, people weren't going to say "those game programmers are bad". They were going to say "Windows 95 sucks".
