It's always easier to work within the confines of a self-contained system such as the one they've created than rely on outside factors being just right.
Father: Johnny, I think it's time we had a little talk. I know your friends are talking a lot about new experiences they've had, and you may be having some urges to try them yourself. I just want you to know that it's completely natural and I'll answer any questions you may have.
Johnny: Well Dad... I was thinking... well I was going to... make my system dual-boot.
Father: Listen, I know it's tempting. When I was young that's something everybody did, because we didn't know any better. That was a naive time for the computer literate. People experimented with overclocking and case-modding, back before we knew how destructive it was. Now we have more information about that kind of thing and I don't want you to make the same mistakes I did.
Johnny: Ok Dad, I won't do it. Can I date girls though?
Father: Maybe we should have another talk, about computers and how girls feel about people that use them...
If a Sprint telemarketer gets a call at home from an on-duty Sprint telemarketer, does he tell them to go fuck off? That's another one for the Zen Buddists to think about.

I have that conversation every single day of my life. You forgot the end of the conversation though:
Wife: Just pick something up. Me: Ok. What do you want? Wife: Whatever. (After you get home) Wife: I did't want that!

Don't complain though, at least you have variety up there with Wegmans. I get to deal with a P&C store and they only carry the basics and the really weird stuff like canned calimari. So if I want anything more flavorful that spaghetti or hamburgers, I have to drive 25 minutes to a real grocery store.
The favorite thing about my old rubber-button remote is that I know what button I'm pushing while I'm sitting on the couch in the dark, without having to look at the remote.
They hired some new scientists that aren't as proficient with faking space imagery with Photoshop as the old timers are. You can tell by the liberal use of the Gaussian Blur effect they're amatuers.
Back in the day they had to hand draw video of people walking on the moon. These new kids are spoiled with their 3D modellers and high-end paint programs!
You know the pirates around here do some slave trading on the weekends. Gotta supplement the ol' VCD business in order to support that luxurious case-modder lifestyle with the $400 a month video card habit.
It was like he had no awareness of my presence or any other people around him.
This has nothing to do with technology. Have you ever gone to a grocery store?
A surprisingly large number of people are completely unaware that that they are blocking the aisle when they have there cart on one side of the isle, themselves on the other, and yet they don't realize that you're coming despite your driving of the loudest shopping cart in the store.
Apparently choosing a spaghetti sauce takes a large amount of conentration and puts people in a trance like state.
This is the best option for the money. The alternative would be to send them all up there in the cargo bay of a shuttle and then crack the bay doors for a second or two and see if they'll finally believe you.
Hi Mr. trybywrench, I'm a lawyer which has been retained by your DSL provider to pre-emptively send you a cease and desist letter for your possible future infringement of the terms of service agreement for your DSL service. In order to monitor your compliance with this cease & desist order, we will install a brainwave monitoring device in your home between next Tuesday and next Saturday, sometime between 8:00AM and 12:00PM, or between 1:00PM and 5:00PM, so please make sure you are available at those times. Thank you for using our DSL service.
Maybe she/Discovery should have been smart enough to use an alternate high-tech method of communication, like those new fangled telephone thingamajigs.
so how do users, especially non-technical ones, effectively submit bug reports
I get the lucky job of also providing tech support for the software I write. I get a lot of users calling up and saying "I got an error printing a report", which leaves me having to ask, "which of the 50 reports and what does the error say". At that point the customer needs to walk back to his office and turn on his computer since he thought I could magically solve the problem without any information and remotely control the little gnomes in his machine and instruct them to magically fix it.
How many open source developers, most of which develop the software for free, want to deal with people that are not technically savvy enough to read the documentation for the software to figure out where to submit bugs to?
Of course, I'm not an open source developer so maybe they like dealing with dumb users and I'm just talking out my ass. It's happened before;)

You can at least order your hot dogs online.

Probably something novel like "Collect Money From Customers".
Yahoo just realized that if they actually charge for their services, they make money.
E-mail Michael, he's probably getting a little groggy after being the only one posting stories in the last 12 hours.

Synchronize Swatches!
It was back in the mid 90's.
As far as nostalgia goes, anybody remember back when InfoSeek actually charged for searches?

It usually works.
Hello McFly, you proved my point in your own effort to discredit me. And with only three words. And you call me idiotic?

I can see why you didn't find anything on Google. I think they're a little biased.
