    "I'm sure there are people who still think their online life is private."

    So are you saying that most people who use Facebook are Republicans?

    No that's only you putting the two together, you ignorant asshat.
    Republicans are those that say that nothing is private because if you're hiding something, you're obviously a communist.

    You will graduate (or "explore other options") someday. That world you live in is a college town, and designed for walking since that's all there is... college, and a few stores for drinks, food, and probably a couple of bong stores.

    Everyone is in need of electric cars. It's not the price, it's the pollution factor.

    Yeah, we're talking about some place that measures in gallons.

    So... people should have specialized vehicles?
    You have one of two choices.. either get a vehicle that fits your needs, or change your needs.
    That's in a nutshell.

    UNIX is more a concept, and not an OS.

    As far as language, that's not even the question. A language can change nearly overnight to add mechanism for threading.

    Reminds me of the time a couple weeks ago I went into Staples to mail something through UPS, and I looked at Bluetooth earpieces afterwards. After looking at them, I was interested in one so I looked for a box to take up to the register to pay for. I found out they had no stock, and when I asked the girl at the register she said she can quickly order through their convenient website and it'll be there in 7-14 days. I told her I could shop through a zillion websites... I held back the fact that if I truly was looking for a bluetooth for a decent price, it's cheaper online...
    They forget that brick & mortar shops have that instant gratification which you can't get online. If they give that up, they may as well close up or just open a Sears style online-purchase pickup area.. but for their whole store.
