"to load 8 sites"... 8 sites that you visit frequently and thus have cached on your Firefox installation, perchance?
Don't be so rash to judge. Chrome has many other areas where it lacks compared to Firefox, speed isn't generally one of them. I've heard many users say that it loads pages more than twice as fast as Firefox, and also scrolls much faster on graphical/data-intensive pages.
The lack of extensions (such as adblock, firebug/firephp, flash block, noscript, coloured tabs) is the main reason why I've barely used it since I installed it.
A "For Dummies" book I'm reading (I'll leave you to guess which one; it's quite unexpected) says that cows aim their back ends at the wind, for some reason.
While one of those versions is sociopathic, both of them are a net benefit for society. Better to have a bunch of sociopathic corporations running around, than our current selection of psychopathic ones.
As someone who's switched away from PC games to XBox 360 games, I can say two things that might shake your criticisms:
1) A lot of the time, I only play one game at a time for weeks on end. Not too much disc swapping required for that on a console, unlike a PC where other work might require you to insert a CD or something unrelated to gaming. Additionally, a lot of games can be played without a disc at all - specifically, XBLA games, and less-specifically, downloaded demos.
2) Because of the way I have my gaming system set up, it's actually a whole lot easier to change discs on my XBox than it is for my PC - I'm probably unique in this situation, though, since I don't play from my couch. I actually play on my secondary PC monitor, which has dual inputs - my XBox is far easier to access than my "desktop" tower. It could be that the GP has a similar setup, or that he changed to portable gaming with a DS or a PSP, which would provide the benefits he seems to be looking for.
And no, my XBox isn't modded. Only Hitler mods an XBox.;-)
"Have you ever just dominated a little kid at checkers? The last thing they do before throwing the board at you is to try to cheat."
No, but I *have* played a lot of Halo on XBox Live. I think it's pretty much the same thing, except that in addition to cheating, they accuse YOU of cheating when you steamroll them anyway. The only recourse they have to get back at you is teabagging your corpse when they get one or two inconsequential kills:)
Come to think of it, the Olympics needs more teabagging.
No, the theory could still be true - Americans are just over-eating fake food, forcing their teeny digestive systems to divert energy from the brain, thus reversing the cognitive jump.
I don't see how this got a "troll" moderation - frankly, if anything, it's a humorously scathing indictment of the fatal flaw in the entire Segway-style transportation industry - people need to get off their ass and walk more.
Also, since Gob Bluth actually *does* ride a Segway, it's even more on-point. If only to show what a self-absorbed twit the character is.:)

A white hole? :)
So what is it?
Why one would voluntarily submit to Death By Snu-Snu is ... ... oh, wait, I get it now. Nevermind.
Buying ripoff Lego is like making your own play-do. It's just not the same.
Why raise your AC when you could just open a few Windows?
(Maybe this is just my Canadian bias showing, and the fact that it's almost winter ...)
Death by interspecial snu-snu.
No, the correct spelling is:
alt.startrek.wesley.crusher.die.die.die.beastiality
Indeed! So the OP is that much more of a drama queen for uninstalling it in "5 minutes".

I was just referring to the Chrome logo as that - and then this happened. Serendipity, I say. Heh. Or, at least, synergy.
If they happen to eat another magnet, couldn't it kill them?

So therefore, I call bullshit on TFA! :)
Sure - but it would be Will Smith, not Seinfeld ...
Well, there are notable similarities.
For example, it has tank treads, just like WALL-E. Also, it has binocular-type eyes, similar to WALL-E.
However, the same could be said of an AH-64D Apache Longbow helicopter sitting on top of an M1A1 Abrams tank. :)
Great, just what we need. OOP.

$KansasSchools = new SchoolSystem( 'Kansas' );
$KansasSchools->setBest( true );

There is a word I can think of that should, if spoken correctly, send shivers down your spine.
That word is ...
WYSE.
(They make pretty decent linux-based thin clients nowadays, though)
Then they become firebugs, stoking the flames, to push back the night ...
They light the fires while the city sleeps :)

But Braid has a demo, and the demo is hella fun.
The reason I haven't bought the game yet?
Because Portal isn't out on XBLA yet. Once portal comes out, I'll go out and get the points to buy Portal and Braid at the same time.
(I've only ever played a few sessions of Portal, never finished it, because I don't own the Orange Box and I don't game on my PC)
I've heard that wine, if used to excess, can not only cause depth perception issues, but also memory corruption and crashing.
Usually only with the older builds, however.
Amazing! That's the same combination for my mother!
