Except that many people use and enjoy their high resolution laptops, including myself. It was the only thing I really shopped for when buying a laptop. I would not consider buying a laptop with less than 1400x1050.
LCD screens are very crisp, clear and sharp. You shouldn't have to squint. If you find yourself doing so, you should see an eye doctor.
Um, do you think that firearms are a common site in the states? Its not like they're just scattered about the streets here. You could probably live your whole life here and never see one, except on a police officer.
Yeah, happens all the time.. us crazy American's shooting politians to get what we want! Come on, you know that's not true. The right to own is the _last and final_ check on the government. If you let them take your firearms you are completely at their mercy, no matter what they decide. Read through your history books and you'll find quite a lot of examples of this. You have to remember the history of our country; there was a pathetic represive government, we kicked them out. If the colonists had let the British take their guns, where would they have gotten? This could never happen in todays world? You don't look around enough if you actually think that.
It is amazing to me how many people simply do not understand the purpose of the 2nd amendment. It is not about the right to kill, it is about the right to protect yourself against animals, people and most importantly, the government.
Who was it that formed this country? It was the gun wielding citizens of the American colonies that fought the British. Did you know that the head of every household in colonial America was required by law to own a firearm? Remembering why they fled their respective countries, why do you think the colonists would have created such a law? Perhaps they were sick of being bullied around by all the king's men!
Our right to own, the 2nd amendment, is our last and final check on the government.
Feel free to disagree, it is your right as an American. Remember who fought for that right.

I call BS on this; post a link to back yourself up.

I wish I had mod points left....!
"That and I'm still trying to find an SSH app for X that I like as much as PuTTy, for those times that I have no choice but to use an X desktop."
Is there something wrong with some type of xterm and ssh? I guess I'll hold my tongue at that...

I'd mod this up, had I the chance.

Clearly, you're not installing Linux right. It is trivial to install a Debian system that is as basic as you want it to be.
Please try and learn the basics of something before you toss it aside as defective.

Psst, OpenOffice can view PowerPoint presentations. This one worked just fine.
