Knowing definitively where your things are probably does help you feel like you've got more control over the situation, which does give peace of mind.
Emotions and logic aren't remotely related. The reason for the peace of mind doesn't mean it's not peace of mind. "Where's my stuff?! -- oh, there it is."
The RIAA called downloading music a crime before it became criminal, there's nothing in that article to support the assertion that it's illegal to 'wardrobe'.
That's actually very true. I prefer skype to the phone because I can tell when they'll be nearby. I'm sure I'm not the only person who hates answering machines.
When it comes to individuals, sometimes it takes a step back from statistics to understand what's going to happen.
Look at the current recession. If anyone had bothered to sit down and ask "Hey, how many people can actually afford to pay back a million dollar loan?" it would be glaringly apparent that the housing market couldn't continue to rise.
I did the blog thing back in the 90s. What I found is exactly what this kid found -- Nobody bothered reading the posts, so it wasn't worth doing. Why would it be different when the blog is 140 characters?
You're going to go the "I'm so great and you suck" route?
I hope for your sake that you're not an adult professional, because if you are, your attitude suggests an immaturity that would actually put you at "Ew, girls are icky" at 15.
The day I take relationship advice from TrekkieGod is the day I slit my wrists and let the light take me.
Regarding the rest, your hand waving isn't going away just because you wave your hands harder. "It's not important! This is the car you're looking for!"
I mean, if you lose your job you're going to need to buy a tow truck to get your car to the next city. That's fucked.
Don't blame the people, blame the companies for breaking the social contract.
Hiring people to pretend there was grassroots support broke the contract, so now all grassroots support is suspected. What exactly did they THINK was going to happen?
They poisoned the water coming from their own river. don't get mad that nobody's drinking anymore.
Metallica is a difficult example to use, because they broke the cardinal rule that requires abuse of copyright by large entities: They fucked over their fanbase.
I paid 30 dollars for Saint Anger. 30. Back at the time, I made minimum wage, and it was much lower than it was today, so we're looking at 6 hours of work to pay for their CD. The CD was a fucking joke. It was written by a five year old and played by a couple ten year olds who broke into their parents studio.
They took my 30 dollars and have the gall to bitch that it's napster's fault they're not making the money they expected? They won't be seeing another dollar from me. I spent the 30 dollars on an indie band that doesn't pull that bullshit on the fanbase.
I'd love for you to be a shill. I really would. Shills are fun because of their lack of standing in reality. Listening to a Darl McBride or a Craig Mundie contort facts so they can somehow not sound like jackasses is like watching a beautiful ballerina getting shot with a tommy gun, beautiful and tragic and darkly hilarious.
Sadly, after reading the posts, they don't paint you as a shill. Bastard. Why not shill a little, so I can have more fun?
Part of the job of the courts is to ensure that the laws themselves are legal. The congress is granted powers by the constitution. When they create a law they're not authorized to make, it is the courts who are empowered to find the law unconstitutional.

I don't have an iPhone, but would it get a signal while packed in a cardboard box while in a fully-enclosed metal container?
PROTIP: This article is about an iPhone packed in a cardboard box while in a fully-enclosed metal container.
So the British part of the company pays too much for things too. There's no "except" about it.
You fail psychology forever.

I've beaten you at a children's video game. Now you will pay!
MIND CRUSH!

The British just pay too much for things.
My phone is about £.18/min during the week before 8pm, and £.01/min on evenings and weekends.
My phone doesn't have a camera. It doesn't have internet. It doesn't have ringtones. It doesn't have GPS. It doesn't run programs.
My phone makes phone calls, and I love it to death.
You're apparently American. Don't talk to me about degenerating language -- you folks can't even spell colour, honour, or tyre.
Twitter seems to be just taking existing functionality and ripping it into its own product.
I can tell people what I'm up to using MSN or Facebook. Why do I need another tool to do so?
CNN jumped the shark the moment they started reading blogs on the air.
"The Internet without the parts that make it tolerable! This is CNN!"
My irony detector is going off...

What are you, 12?
"LOL she wuz texting and fell down I wish she died cuz ppl who text are stupid and should die"
Wait...
Why would anyone bother cursing a nobody governor of the world's ultimate backwater?
Is this like one of those IQ tests? "Which of these does not belong?"
If the best years of your life were high school, I don't think you've got any real reason to be telling others how to live.
It's not nice to speak ill of the dead.

Listen, shithead! You're just saying that because you're handsome, good in bed, well-liked and financially well-off!
When the congress creates a law the constitution doesn't allow them to create, they are breaking the law. The Judiciary is simply enforcing the law.
