Without the Internet the majority of the people that read his opinion wouldn't have. This is one of the dubest opinions I've seen in a while. Nothing is perfect. Not a new baby, not a new child, not a new marriage, and certainly not the god damn Internet. You don't burn down your house, kill your child, murder your wife just because of a few flaws do you? Well ok some people do.
Oddly, your first sentence is a good reason to get rid of the internet.:)
Maybe because I can just glance at my wrist rather than fumbling in my pocket and dragging my phone past my wallet, keys, and loose change without spilling it.
The gas cap isn't a problem with my usual car. It IS an annoyance when I'm driving a rental, I pull to my usual side of the pump, then realize the damn thing is on the wrong side in that rental.
Yeah, but it usually doesn't take 10 minutes to dispose of the stuff I drank for those miles. Maybe 2 minutes for that, another 3 to buy more liquid to recycle through me, and the remaining 5 minutes, I'm pacing the floor, grumbling about slow charging.
and there is no way a crappy pirated copy is in any way equivalent to seeing the movie in a decent theater.
There aren't many decent theaters around here. I don't plan to pirate, but I'd rather watch my movies in my house sitting in a nice chair with quiet surroundings than in a smelly theater with hard seats and people flashing their phones and munching loud chips all around.
DVRs help, but they're not good enough. I still get taken out of the story every few minutes and have to hit FF or Skip to avoid hearing some insurance salesbozo yell at me.
It depends on the show. Once, I had a long, busy Sunday and was too tired to concentrate and could tell I wasn't getting squat from Game of Thrones, so I quit watching and resumed the next day when I was rested. OTOH, I often watch political shows without using any brain power whatsoever. No loss.
I had hopes for Ron Paul. I saw quite a few Paul signs in people's yards. Unfortunately, those signs were a significant percentage of his total voters. And he did better than the names you mention.:(
Okay, I'm working on a report on my laptop while watching Sean Hannity. Sean says something annoying, I give him the finger - and then my laptop shuts down without saving my work!
I don't know if you remember when GMail was introduced to the general public, but its web interface wasn't the draw. It was the (for its time) ungodly amount of space for users to take advantage of.
That, and the fact that it actually put spam in the spam folder instead of spewing it all over your inbox like everyone else did at the time.

I agree. "Vulcan" would be an illogical choice for such cold places.

My "local market" is QuikTrip. Do potato chips count as a vegetable?

I sure hope you typed that on an iPhone...
Or in handcuffs!
Nothing to hide? Maybe I don't want the IRS to know about my phone call to a T-person.

Since when has lack of money stopped the government from major new projects?

You should probably disarm the criminals first.

It also discourages either reducing or increasing your bean consumption.
You are so right. I can't wait for the glorious future of creating Excel spreadsheets by randomly waving my hands in the air in front of a computer.
I'm at least hoping to be able to give my Microsoft product the finger and have it actually respond.

Not on a work computer, at least in some workplaces.
It doesn't matter how old it is, as long as there's enough frog DNA to fill in the gaps.
So, Lucas ripped off the concept of the "Force"? Does that mean they could Sioux him?
I'm still hoping to evolve adamantium claws.
One could argue that the OS is Debian (or Fedora or Ubuntu). All of which use the Linux kernel, and the GNU tools.
A bigger problem is when you have to find 500 worthwhile papers through the 499,500 crap papers in your chosen field.
Well since it's no big deal, what is your name and address?
