    +1, get the browns if you something quiet that requires very little force to push down: http://www.trulyergonomic.com/options.html#Silent

  8. Cherry Browns on Ergonomic Mechanical-Switch Keyboard? · · Score: 1

    Get a Das or something with some cheery browns. They are a light lighter (require less force) and you only have to press about halfway down. They are also one of the quietest mechanical switches--just don't bottom out and it will feel and almost sound like you're typing on a cloud. They have ergonomic browns, too.

    There also this source:
    http://www.conceivablytech.com/2784/products/mozilla-firefox-4-is-twice-as-fast-chrome-7/
    But, honestly, most of the pages that I go to do not have tons of javascript all over them, especially with noscript. Firefox 4, Chrome 7, Chromium 8, Opera 11, and heck, even IE 9 all render my pages in an instant. I have the "exact" same addons on both firefox on chrome (as close as I could get). However, on certain websites, chrome takes a bit to load all of the pages, and it is because some of the addons that I use are poorly implemented in Chrome (without addons, it loads instantly). I have all of the browsers on, but right now I'm sticking to firefox 4 (the UI is customizable and slimmer. I'm only on either 1440x900 or 1024x600--I need to treasure my vertical pixels).

    Okay, so, euthanize them, problem solved?

    No, my logic was that they wouldn't burden the families at all if we just eliminated them, and as the AC below me posted, they'd all be lucky to have that happen.

    Yes, I got that, but I'm saying that you might as well just go: C: 9 years dementia free, euthanize, only having to live for a few weeks with dementia.

  15. Re:This is trolling of the worst sort on iPhone Jailbreak Modified Into CC Sniffing Malware · · Score: 2, Funny

    A lot of people who have Apple things think that they can go to whatever websites they want and download whatever the hell they want because they "can't get viruses". One of my friends on facebook got clickjacked and posted some .ru site, and a lot of people commented saying to not click on it because it is a virus, and then some guy said "lol i clicked on it anyway becuase i'm on a mac so i can't get a virus". -_- But, yeah, I think that we should all work together as a family to help people not get infected and we shouldn't hate people just because they use Apple products 3

    "This means Alzheimer's patients may be less of a burden to caregivers and loved ones." Jesus, might as well just euthanize them if that's your attitude.

    The Document Foundation's members put a lot of work into OO.org. Suppose you spend over 10 years on making an awesome program, and then some company buys out the name and doesn't let you use it. The Document Foundation has done a lot more for OO.org than Oracle will ever do. It's a crime that Oracle is allowed to have their clutches on it.

    Why the hell would you jump ship? That'd be a stupid thing to do. You can stay on your current plan for as long as you want, and it might eventually be the only way to get unlimited data on your phone. Old customers can still keep their unlimited.
