    unless she's an entitled woman. then she'll smack him around for getting in trouble for her indiscretion. after all, that 150 euros is hers too and how can she possibly be expected to pay for music when he spends it all on piracy fines. does money grow on trees?

  8. Re:Feels like Im repeating myself... on School Regrets Swapping Laptops For iPads · · Score: 1
    nothing in TFA about these ipads being used to write code. the idea here behind the ipads was definitely laptop replacement, so yes, the ipad should be dismissed on those merits. since you can't be bothered:

    The school, somewhat bizarrely, also supplied teachers with Apple TVs to allow them to project their iPad display in the classroom, which seems more than a little extravagant. A simple £25 Apple VGA connector would surely have been a far cheaper and more efficient means of achieving that goal. Especially as the staff are struggling to get the Apple TV to output a full-size image.

    “I tried to use mine for assembly on Friday, but the picture on the Apple TV is smaller than it should be,” our teacher claims. “To add insult to injury, it didn’t recognise my ‘non-standard’ font and so I ended up borrowing an old laptop to deliver the assembly.”

    say it ain't so, ghost-of-steve-jobs! poor wankers, how's the kool-aid taste now?

    the stretch of I8 between san diego and phoenix has a 75mph limit and out there it's "strictly" enforced. you can get a ticket for going 80, when the few highway patrol cars that are out there find you. even so, it's common to see people averaging about 90mph.

  18. Re:But the moon is full of cheese on Space Vs. Poverty Debate In India · · Score: 1

    the head deity of the hindu trinity is brahma, represented by a bull. pretty sure it wasn't related to pasture availability.

    it's all astrology. zodiac signs are equated with deities of a given age. jesus was pisces. brahma was taurus. at the end of each age, there are wars between the believers of the old deity and the new. moses was striking down the brahma-taurus-golden calf god in favor of aries -- the god of war in the age of empire building. jesus was striking down the age of aries with his whole turn-the-other-cheek mantra. religions make a lot more sense when you think of them as astrological metaphors for sun worship. each of the 12 zodiac signs that revolve around the sun in the center are various "personalities" of that sun. that's why the calf was golden, aries was god of fire, jesus was called "son (sun) of god" and so forth.

    would it strike an emotional chord with husbands if their wives preferred to have sex with their vibrators instead of them?

    don't answer that, it's a stupid setup. it's obvious exactly which emotional chord you're assuming is being struck, but it seemed clear to me that sentence only meant that people in japan would be very opinionated about something that permeates their lives. as opposed to america, where getting a C on any exam is great. a robot that can pass the SAT in america? meh, who cares? tosh point oh is on...

    you still don't get it. your first dumb mistake is assuming everyone buys the latest and greatest. you obviously didn't read anything past what you quoted because i gave two examples that contradict you. one is my own recent experience, and here's proof of the other. took a quick trip to newegg, looked up "laptop hard drive." right next to the 1TB drives that you think are the only ones that exist is this little puppy, 160GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148443. they do exist, and people still buy them.

    wave defense games are fun, no doubt. i played quite a bit of ME3's multiplayer, but having played a ton of other games that do it better, i'm turned off the most by how limiting it is. there are a small number of maps and a small variety of enemies. it is fun, but not as fun as several other wave defense games that have come before it.

    i saw a hip hop show at a bar once. one of the acts was a duo who wore masks as part of their act. they waited outside and when it was time for their set, they rushed in through the crowd, jumped up on stage and started performing. someone parking their car across the street saw them run in, and called the cops describing two masked men rushing into a bar. when the cops showed up they asked the bouncer if he'd seen the two masked men. bouncer pointed at the stage and cop shook his head and left. better safe than sorry, i guess.
