are best suited to mouse and keyboard control? I must be missing something here. Of course, my experience with "first-person shooter" games has been nil since "Duck Hunt" on the original NES. But still... does he honestly believe a mouse and keyboard are the best way to experience such games? Strikes me as odd.
C'mon - how much time is grandma spending on the command line in any OS? I know that mine personally meant something entirely non-CLI-related when she started talking about switches and running.
"He took FireFox, turned it into a squid, dressed it up in spangles and glued tits to it... you just might get your fingers burned if you try to fondle these puppies."
One has to ask... Where on the spangled-up squid with the glued-on tits does the fire come out, exactly?
Any modern (second half of the '90s onward) VW turbo diesel will give you mileage on a par with the hybrids, and you can run biodiesel or petrodiesel, or a mix. One of the new Beetles or a Golf can get upwards of 50MPG. The Jettas are not a lot worse, and neither are the Passats.
I know 2 people with Honda hybrids - a Civic and the little 2-door one (Insight?). The Civic gets in the low 40s MPG-wise, and the other one is around 50. Another person I know with a Jetta TDI gets mileage comparable to the Civic Hybrid, on biodiesel.
And unlike petro-anything, biodiesel will only come down in price as distributed production (not "energy industry" controlled production) increases. Then there's the comfort factor of a technology that's been around the block, as opposed to a rather kludgy hack that puts a bunch of battery acid travelling 65+ MPH two and a half feet from the back of your head while you're strapped into a nifty compactable container.
BTW - if you're in the Southeast US and looking to sell a reasonably-late-model Jetta or Golf TDI, I'm in the market.;-)

I think "liking" an OS is a bit of an odd concept. I like certain apps. If the apps I like run on an OS, cool deal. It's kind of like "liking" a book. Most often you mean to say you like the written content, not the underlying paper and ink. But then there are those fetishists who genuinely prefer a hardcover copy of a book to paperback, precisely for its non-written content aspects. OS fetishism is similar, I think.
Dolphins can profile as well as you and me. Of course they're gonna target the swimmers in turbans. Now, spotting communists... that's an entirely different kettle of fish, my chum.
It's intended to desensitize folks to things Greek, so that people won't be as surprised when they get bent over and cornholed by the govt. after the storm.

Poor Greeks - always getting reamed.
$10-$30??? Just buy a swatch guard. http://www.squiggly.com/swatch/p/subcat/s/guard
Stylish AND protective! Not to mention totally rad...
I use RDRAM, you insensitive hamburgling clod!
Gotta love the great language debates on /. All you word-wardens can take that suppositorily. :P

You missed a critical point: "people are stupid. That's why we pick STUPID representatives to vote STUPIDLY for us."
REJUVENATE!
"Why would I want a networked fly?"

He's talking urinal cakes, here. Clearly pp is not his friend.
Marketing isn't likely to do them any good now. ;-) There is a Windows version of Mulberry. A few users here prefer it over Thunderbird.
Who cares? How are the cops gonna pull you over? Or tell anyone where you are or where you're headed?
