I love how you try to overstate things, which does indeed show your uptightedness. You seem to be accusing me of actually smoking in the house of someone who told me not to. Quite uptight. In reality, I simply would not visit such a place, especially during cold months. It's quite simple. If I don't like a product, I don't need to buy it. Same goes for houses I choose to visit. Besides, everyone always comes to MY house because I'm not uptight and am a permissive person.
Basically, I view your whole post as uptight, and I don't hang out or befriend uptight people. Everyone's different, but to me, your post read "Wah wah my pussy hurts".:)
I should have realized I've listed far too many pet peeves for any other being on the planet to really agree with any of it:)
The government isn't choosing your browser. They are preventing Microsoft from choosing your browser. They are leveling the playing field, and forcing people to actually make a choice, instead of going with the flow. You're not being told which web browser you can and cannot use. I see where you're coming from, but you should clutch your idealism with slightly less intensity -- this is a good thing, even if it doesn't meet the strict interpretation of capitalism.
1) get an ergonomic keyboard. don't whine about it. get it. DON'T WHINE ABOUT IT. just get it. Try to get one that has the 6 key on the right half (to put it on the left half is total blasphemy).
2) Learn to mouse left-handed at work. Do this for 2 months straight. ONLY switch when it starts to hurt. Then stay right-handed. And so forth. Mousing is an additional strain on whichever arm is using it. Think of it as rotating your tires.
3) For casual home use (surfing, clicking on music/video), get a trackball. Hand in lap is much less work than reaching which hurts your upper arm after awhile. Trackballs are great, but not for FPS, or doing real serious work. But anything you can do to not reach.
4) Put keyboard in lap. This is how it's meant to be. No reaching!
You're a fucking asshole. I hope you get innocently brutalized by a cop someday, whine about it online, and then have another asshole like yourself respond to it. That would be beautiful.
The definition of censorship is not limited only to governments stopping expression. That's a conservative "argument", by calling a duck something else. But if it walks like a duck... (Anyway, just look it up on merriam-webster.)
i've had vnc on multiple machines with static IP addresses and a... let's just say, VERY VERY VERY weak password. ANd it was only recently I firewalled that off, but it's a cinch to allow a specific IP (i.e. my job, your mom, etc) in.
Why do parents have to support their kids? Kids have been demonstrated to be able to have their own jobs! Why do I have to pay taxes for a road? I walk. Why should I pay for schools for other people's children (I was educated in.. um... I dunno... let's say, Canada)?
What, you can't even imagine that reality is what it currently is? C'mon man, wake up! What kind of country do you think this is? I knew he was 100% right without looking it up, but since you seem so sure of yourself, I did a few minutes research (I hate being tricked into doing work!)...

Finding more is hard, but I have no doubt there are. Google has not been good to me in terms of searching for state laws. Perhaps there is a niche for a specialized search engine somewhere, but isn't that what Lexus-Nexus does already?
is easily fixed by using FireFox, IE, and Flock. I can be logged in under 3 different gmails that way. And if you use the IETab firefox plugin, you can have two gmail accounts on tabs right next to each other:)
You search mininova for your band. There's an RSS in the results. Add it to your reader. When a torrent comes out (around the time each album is released), it will show up in your reader right away, you will hop on, and it will always complete by the time you get home from work. ALWAYS. End of story. Though Demonoid going down isn't helping.
getting in a fight resulted in getting an F for every class that grading period, for both people, even if you didn't start it. So no, that's not really a viable solution for most people.
YOU COULD HAVE JUST LET THEM VOLUNTARILY SEARCH YOUR ANAL CAVITY, but instead you said no.
You COULD have let them just search your car, and throw all your belongings outside and leave them for you to pick up, but instead you said no.
Yea. Freedom should be defined by the laziest way out. You should never stand for principles unless it's convenient.
Summary: You're an asshole. If everyone was like you, we'd still be speaking with a British accent, or worse yet, in German. Move to Mexico. You'll like their brand of freedom better. It's more well-suited to your philosophy. You simply don't fight a fight if it isn't worth it. You can bribe your way out of any crime. You should always do what it easiest, not what is right. Mexico is perfect for you.
So every starving artist is really worrying about putting food on his great-grandkids' plates, and not his own? I think not. Artists have less disposable income than most other professions. They are worrying about feeding themselves, trust me. Every art major I know is making half what I make. They are NOT worrying about kids they don't even have yet!
He got tased, for chrissakes. Yeah. Great freedom. Stay at a podium too long, get arrested. What world are YOU living in? Try talking to a Russian expatriate sometime about what you can get away with there vs. here. Or just go to my abuse of authority link collection and check out the state of things yourself.

Love your sig! Check out #40 on my pet peeves list. Defend the spaces!

You just don't know who to trust these days.

Thank you for pointing that out. I was going to as well.

I can just see the new marketing campaign!

I just flicked off a Diebold truck on the way to work today! I'm serious.

You wont agree with all of these, but hopefully you'll agree with some of them.
you don't want to know

definitely snobby. we should only fight things that are "worth" spending $10,000 on? What a fucking joke!

Paul said he was pro-life and would make reversing the decision a top priority.
He also said that more people should be exposed to what abortion does to an unborn child and women who have them.
He has also voted against public funding of adult stem cell research and is against taxpayer-funded embryonic stem cell research.
