    Honey is puke.

    Honey bees transform nectar into honey by a process of regurgitation and evaporation. They store it as a primary food source in wax honeycombs inside the beehive.

    Double edged blade you are handling there. Id counter that the problem on the other side of believing every tiny thing an unofficial source feeds them. Cue Alex Jones.

    Too much faith in either version of the stories will lead to trouble.

    It was in the prelim releases. They removed it. They did it for one reason, get people used to the new UI and they will be comfortable picking up a win 8 tablet. The entire thing was an attempt to strong arm the consumer into getting used to something. There was no reason to remove the start button, BUT THEY REMOVED IT.

    Yes, the first LCD TV I bought was a grand. The plasma I got about 3 or 4 years ago was almost a grand, but much larger. So yes, not only have I seen TVs for a grand, but I have purchased one.

    Wait, why am I replying to an AC?

    You hear that noise above your head, thats not a missile, its just a woosh. The joke is that upon seeing the tweet, that Obama launched a counter attack. Upon finding out the tweet was a mistake, that Obama then tweeted an apology.

    So lets make them speed up or stay out of the way, I am still not sure why we pander to the lowest common denominator, and then STILL have problems with people going much slower then the speed limit in the fast lane.

    Going too slow in the fast lane should be a reckless/careless driving ticket to start with.

  17. Re:wrong+wrong=right? on Competitors Complain To EC That Free Android Is a 'Trojan Horse' · · Score: 2

    Except for the fact that google has done nothing wrong.

    Google allows ANYONE to use their OS, only requiring a cert process if they want to use google apps.
    You can get google WITHOUT the google apps, and there are plenty of alternatives to all of the google apps.

    Microsoft got in trouble for forcing you to have the integrated IE. You could not get rid of it, and it was the default browser.

    Go read something damnit, your ignorance is showing.

    If they move the commenting system to Facebook only, they would loose probably half of the current commenter. The only thing that will be discussed here after that will be how wonderful the new start screen is in Windows, and how Apple can do no wrong.

  21. Re:Just test! on Teachers Know If You've Been E-Reading · · Score: 1

    My college felt more like adult day care then anything. Now not all of the teachers did this, a few of them I left early every day, didn't show up, aced the tests and projects got an A. Others I missed two days and I was down to a B automatically. The one that really got me was when they used the students as labor in the computer labs. We had to go from student to student helping them with homework. My assigned time worked horribly into my schedule. I missed one day of "lab" and I had an instant F. The teachers rational was that I never called n, my rational was I told the teacher when the time was assigned that it would not work for me. It did not matter that I had the best reviews from the students and the lab instructors. I missed a day, I got an F.
