I don't agree with a lot of the stuff they are attempting to change. But at the same time I don't agree with the textbook revisions that the liberals have been doing uncontested for much too long now. Current educational material are already filled to the brim with political viewpoints.

The laptop market is even worse. It's near impossible to find a high-res laptop nowadays. Sure you can find a 10-11 inch display at 768p, that is high-res, but the same resolution at 16 - 18 inches sure isn't.
In essence, they couldn't find out what Nintendo's "environmental policy". Greenpeace couldn't find this information on Nintendo's website--or perhaps they asked for it and Nintendo said "Screw you we're to busy laughing all the way to the bank".
So greenpeace picks this easy target and makes a lot of noise about how irresponsible they are (even though they have no idea what Nintendo is actually doing).
Nintendo will make a big statement outlining everything they are already doing for the environment and greenpeace will take the credit for making Nintendo a more environmentally friendly company and people will think greenpeace is really great and donate more money to them (so they can build some more war ships).
How dare all those `Dixie Republicans and Midwesteners` generalize all who look/speak foreign to be of a certain origin?! It is outrageous; it is obvious that ll who make a generalized statement about a perceived group of people are idiots.
Gaaaawd! not again... And people moderated this insightful? The MCD-hot coffee lawsuit (Liebeck v. McDonald's Restaurants) _is_ the quintessential frivolous product liability suit.
What's really old is that people (even some law professors) are still falling for the myth that that case had merit. Please stop defending it; Litigation Lawyers have their own lobbyist organization (Association of Trial Lawyers of America) that is obviously already doing a great job in defending the verdict in that case.
Windows XP has "lightning fast" graphics now??? It's the slowest windows ever for crying out loud. If he wanted a more responsive desktop he should have replaced KDE not X.
That together with the new licensing scheme where they have to pay a windows license for all computers, even the ones that doesn't run windows or MS software on them is a pretty good strategy on MS part. They want schools to make an "institution wide commitment" to get the most low cost volume licensing.
What they are really trying to do is keep everything but MS software out of the schools. Then when the kids learn computers they will only see MS software and they won't even know that there are alternatives out there.

...as we all know, Apple invented copy&paste with their iPhone and promptly patented it.
Now no one else can implement it in their OS.
Now I have to wear lead underpants in addition to my tinfoil-hat.

... the USPTO saves millions of dollars with their newly introduced 1-click patent approval process.
...that is the true testament to how irrelevant Blockbuster has really become.
Obviously copying & pasting the redacted text is a DMCA violation!

Instead of Caps Lock we should urge keyboard manufacturers to remove the c, m, d, r, t, a, c, and o keys.
Suddenly, promising to do something "when pigs fly", does not seem that safe anymore.
Of course they are all thieves, noone can afford to actually buy one of them gadgets anyways.
So to ride the subway to soho you first take the blue line, then switch to the yellow-dotted line?

Will the punishment for this worst sort of theft be in the traditional style of Islam?
Pirate software, we'll cut off the left side of your keyboard.

I know, my cat walked over the keyboard and typed in the EXACT same thing!
It happens all the time.
All three!?... uhmmm lets see..
