While I don't disagree with you on the face of it, do you have any substantiation for your argument?
I see how poor CU's testing of bicycles and computers is (two subjects I know rather a lot about), but I've always hoped they were better about washing machines and cars.
I know that my 4G has a different screen than yours, but it seems like the response time on my screen is really slow. Sometimes it's difficult to read the song title as it's scrolling. It would be nice if I could turn this off.
However, my #1 most wanted feature would be to decrease the sensitivity of song rating changes. I can't figure out why it doesn't just do one star per quarter-turn or so.
Don't worry...people have been decrying the state of the current generation for about 8,000 years. You're not the first to think about how shallow "people these days" are.
So, even though you're radically oversimplifying, you're in plentiful company.
Er, if you're on the continent of North America, I think it's a pretty safe bet that 8/10 of the people of any stripe you meet were born on this continent. Your anecdote does not address the disparity in percieved idiocy between North Americans and other people.
In other words, you might want to stick to English, because your understanding of statistics is, well, creative.
Consider that people who emigrate into developed nations are self-selected as more intrepid, braver, and quite possibly more intelligent than the average for their native land.
Or don't, because it's more fun to think "Americans are dumb!"
Hmm, so countries with much smaller heavy industry infrastructures pollute less. Astounding. I think I should write a thesis or something.
I love a clean environment too. That doesn't mean I'm willing to cripple the economy in an ineffective attempt at a stopgap measure.
Let's talk widespread nuclear power development. That is the ONLY way to dramatically reduce pollution. All other ideas are either ineffective or not affordable.

I say let him.
If he likes paying Microsoft to kick him in the balls, say "OK, Dad, that's just fine. It is my professional opinion that you shouldn't do that. If you don't want to avail yourself of my professional opinion, you can also not avail yourself of my professional skills."
Fortunately, my folks are pretty savvy. I explained it to them once, and they were totally on board.

Hmmm...I guess I've never met a "true" Mac user.
I have no idea what "lock in" you're talking about. More to the point, I think you're painting Mac users with an awfully broad brush.
Careful what you wish for.

So you're conforming to the idea that the only reason to buy an iPod is to conform.
Way to buck the herd there, guy.

Hmmm...I've never seen a locality bend over backwards for them. WalMart seems to prefer rear-entry sorts of things.
Anyhow, there are a number of communities that have successfully resisted WalMart's intrusion.
No, he should just give up the domain name he's not using.
I'll bother to answer your objection if you bother to log in.

I think the problem with American schools is related to the fact that they hire teachers that overgeneralize.

More or less expensive and difficult than eliminating greenhouse gas emissions?
Looks like Khoufy Annan "grabbed" a hell of a lot more oil than ol' George did. Is that sensible energy policy?
How much heavy industry do you have there in Switzerland?
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Proves my axiom: Nobody makes a worse math teacher than a mathemetician.
I believe the President pretends to speak improperly so that he can get elected.
And that's a lot scarier.
What does being a Yale alumnus have to do with being smart?
Assuming the corner, your three foot mark, and your four foot mark are all on a plane perpendicular to the ground and the floor, yes.
That's not a very accurate method.
Please tell me you're not driving while you're operating that monstrosity.
Why does Apple need to "capitalize on that demand"? More to the point, what could they bring to the market that people will pay for?
I think that the low-end MP3 market is saturated, and Apple wouldn't be able to make much noise there.
So, basically, because PTC is using their (collective) right to free speech in a manner that is too effective and offensive to you, they should stop?
I disagree with their thesis, but I applaud their methods. This is democracy in action.
I think it'd be nice to have an ELECTION without some kind of political bashing.
I also would like a pony.
I think I have a better chance at the pony.
The English language, however, is not. Hint: It's called "English", not "American".
You also mis-spelled "amateurish".
