I just recently got "upgraded" to W7 at work, and while it certainly sux less than W8, and has good things compared to XP, on "look and feel" I really preferred XP.
I don't know whether it's a quieter engine, better insulation, or both, but I can tell a big difference between my 2014 Nissan Altima, and any of the cars I had before it. Much quieter. I would think a hybrid or pure electric would be even quieter.
There are several companies that are on my blacklist because of ads. Sometimes because the ad was extremely bad to begin with. Other times, the ad wasn't too bad, but they ran it 50,000 times until I puked when seeing/hearing anything remotely similar to that ad.
Yup! My GF is a big talker, but she knows to shush when I'm fighting heavy traffic. She also alerts me to stop signs I didn't see. Or the ones that I did see too, but nobody's perfect.:)
There's been a number of times when I was driving and talking with my GF, and I'd come up on heavy traffic and suddenly shut up. My GF could see why I quit talking. Someone on the phone couldn't, and might be talking in my ear while I'm dealing with the traffic.
My first name has at least 3 spellings, and mine is the least common of them. My last name has 3 or 4 that I can think of. That's a lot of variations on my name. Surely, one of those is a terrorist!
I seldom have any problem with the "idiot" at the cash register. My slowdowns are caused by the idiot (no quotes here) in front of me, not only moving slower than a grandmother, but sorting through her welfare cards, getting her credit/debit card declined after spending 10 minutes trying to figure out how to put it in their machine, then having to fumble in her purse for her olde checks. The same person would be in front of me in the self-check, only worse, since she wouldn't have the cashier helping her while rolling her eyes at the customer's ineptitude.
- No toilet in your house. Poop removed by teleportation.
I have a problem with this one. Everyone knows matter cannot be destroyed. If the poop is transported from where I, um, deposit it, where does it go? Is there a planet in the Federation solely for poop?
With respect to your comments about people having too much free time, there are two kinds of people. There's the guy who after retirement finds himself starting a small farm, working at the local grocery store or writing novels because he just needs something to do. Then there's the guy whose ideal use of time involves smoking crack, beating his wife over some inane argument, and ending up on COPS for us all to shake our heads at.
The sad thing is, the second group far outnumbers the first.
I'd be very interested in learning what "adjustments" will prevent the flu. Do they have any "adjustments" that stop those annoying cold virii that I get too?

It's almost as if GNOME and Unity and all of that are like a precursor to Obamacare or something.
If you like your Gnome 2 you can keep you Gnome 2?
Is it that hard to believe that someone who spent the best 7 years of her life lost in deep space could get tricked into this?
AFAIK, Hans never donated to an anti-gay cause. He only killed someone.

Nothing 60 minutes says should be considered accurate.
Fixed your sentence. :)

Why not? With all those arms, they really can drive, talk on a cellphone, eat a McBarf burger, and do their makeup.

Also, I was recently researching senior-friendly phones for my mom. Now, I'm seeing ads for that damn Jitterbug phone all over the place!
I fantasize about pressing a button and spikes come out the back of my car, impaling any car following too closely.
Becoming content is the first step to becoming complacent.
How do you become content?
I've heard about providing content, but becoming content? Is that, like, entering the matrix?
I think it has something to do with Facebook. Or maybe Google.
It's also a sin to engage in premarital sex. Oddly, fewer people seem bothered by that sin.
Or until everyone dies.

Doesn't anyone remember when we used to go out after wooly mammoths with clubs? Youngsters these days!
To me, a version 1.00 means it's not ready for primetime. I'd say that's accurate, even though the crap we're hearing about isn't the software itself.

Actually, if your vehicles are driving themselves, you have less reason to be awake.
How can they recognize you by your FB picture, when half the people use pics of their children or cats?
Yeah, I have my picture on FB, and even I don't recognize me.
