Jesus, if you're going to keep rambling on about how much you hate Microsoft's products and lust after Apple, at least have the decency to post as something other than AC. It makes you sound like the creepy stalker lurking, unknown, outside someone's bedroom window.
Dude, I'm sorry, but my parents had their bumper kicked in and shit poured all over their car for driving around with a Romney bumper sticker four weeks before the election. Two old 70 year old non "fundie" people with bad knees in a 2001 Honda accord. So should I assume that all Obama fans are just hateful violent dicks, or assume that they just happened upon the jerkiest of the group? Or how one of my staunch democratic friends said "well, maybe it was the bumper sticker, they shouldn't have had that", like it's acceptable?
Yeah, it kinda is. Check the recent survey. Democrats outweigh everyone, but the greens/libertarians represent more than the general population. Which is kinda what it felt like already. Seriously, I know it's fun to poke at the other "side" or make them out to be the Anti-Christ, but it really doesn't get anything accomplished.
Ok, I've been reading this discussion, and it's simple: having the option of an SD slot on the device that is NOT a dongle is preferable to having to add a dongle to get SD access. Jeez, it's not that hard.
I'm always h hoping that, in a just universe, Rachel herself is sick and tired of receiving Rachel calls. Not only are they annoying, but they're annoying in her own voice.
Your response is a bit depressing. Nobody's reading or answering based on the value of their time. Personally, I'm reading because I'm curious about what pens people will recommend. That's it.
I've never gotten the Vista bashing myself. I still run it on a home desktop, since it works for what I need. It needed a lot of memory for the time ( I bought it new wtih 6 GB in the 64 variety) In the years I"ve had this thing, the ONLY time it's blue-screened/crashed was once when the original Hard Drive started failing. I was able to replace that now buggy install by cloning it before the drive failed, and it still continues puffing along.
Last year, my company cleared out a HUGE amount of PCs for RAM ugrades due to requirements of a new software package. We ended up with tons of used 256 MB DIMMS. So... I built a DIMMgerbread house as a Christmas decoration, using hot glue Seriously. It was kinda fun
Filling out forms isn't evading taxes, it's following the law. Evading would be if you lied on your forms about what you earn. This is essentially the argument in favor of a simpler tax code: less room for "wiggle". One thing that would stop this evasion would be a flat tax, but everyone busts a vessel when this is suggested.
Or, the wealthy would take their ball and go home. Or pay a tax accountant to hide it all. By their nature, Some guy in a third world death zone is probably saying the same thing about you right now. Why should you have a car and a home, when he has a bucket and a broken bicycle? Would you bother working under those conditions? I certainly wouldn't. One could make the argument that they don't work for money, they work from their own drive. In that case, why not make the tax rate 100%? I would argue for balance. Some progressive increase, but don't be ridiculous.
Which has resulted in me going to various tourist type areas, and watching morons swing their ipads around trying to take pictures of things,awkwardly trying to get their gigantic clipboard in front of whatever they're looking at, and blocking everyone else's view.
Wow! "That's why he would need to stand up in a court of law and defend himself. His obligation is affirmative, he doesn't need to be proven guilty, he needs to convince the rest of us that his actions were justifiable"
you just pulled a "guilty until proven innocent" out of your ass. I congratulate you sir!
You know, you could behave the same way while carrying a weapon on watch. Just because you have a weapon doesn't mean you have to go waving it about. That way you can behave as you always have, but if something completely unplanned for occurs, you'd have the option of responding to it if need be. In other words, Control your own actions, don't let some inanimate object control them. I happen to have guns in my house, and people always say to me something similar: "oh, I can't do that, I'd accidentally shoot someone, if I heard a noise at night, I'd shoot at it , and it would be my husband!". And I think, "Why do you suddenly become an idiot because you have a gun, and then randomly shoot at things?"
Were you shot at some point in your life? Cuz, man, you seem to have this odd fetishist hatred of them, judging from some of your posts. Like the stereotype of early man fears the gigantic statue they worship, which represents DEATH and DESTRUCTION. Seriously, get over it. They push metal very very fast. They go boom. They can kill or injure people. Society has them and they're not going away anytime soon. That is all.
Some people smile and laugh at uncomfortable things. I've got a friend who laughs when you tell him sad news, then when you ask him why, he laughs some more. He can't stop himself. And no, he's not crazy.

So you, mad at the religious for being intolerant, propose to kill them all.
Bravo, sir, bravo! A finer troll I've never met.
You totally lost me at "brilliant" and "New York Times".

Wow. I was expecting to find the "you guyz stupid" comment much further down. Congrats on the tolerant first post AC, BTW.

up until a serious emergency, and you're frazzled. People do weird shit when they're stressed, hungry, hurt and scared.
flat tax it and get rid of ALL the deductions...
Geez, you didn't have to be such a dick about it...

Markup's for quantity 12, so only a 400% increase.

You do realize you can tell your windows machine not to download updates in the background, right?
And you're complaining about a Vista laptop?
Are the you opposite twin of the guy at the start of this list praising the surface?
Are the Shills out in force today?
