AC's stating their creds are similar to teenagers listing their conquests - laughably ignorable.
Do you also HATE writing, HATE speaking, HATE singing? Typing is just another form of communication. If you HATE it, you probably don't type well. Learn.
By the way, if your programmatic abilities match your cut and paste abilities..... learn to edit. It's necessary in programming as well.
Poor baby (I'm 64). Just last year I wrote an English->language translator. The five languages were those I developed for my story series. I needed consistency and doing it by hand was virtually impossible, time-wise. I found that doing it programmaticly was fun, intellectually stimulating and downright easy, both mentally and physically. It also included turning the Romanized language into a custom cursive with tonal indication, floating letter attachments indicating hierarchial nuances and simply looked good. Explain how that would be boring and tedious.
By the way, I have arthritis in my knees, back and hands. Typing is easy if and only if you have learned blind typing. If you have to hunt and peck, sure it's tedious. But that's your shortcoming, not typing per se.
Oh, pardon, I just noticed you're AC (bad eyes). Troll.
Um... The American Atheist Association is comprised almost *entirely* of bigots. Don't fool yourself. Lest you think I'm just protesting because I'm religious, check many of my past posts. Solid, fifty year atheist.
Wood veneer IS wood. It's a more efficient use of the wood. FAKE veneer is printed paper. That I don't care for, mostly because it peels. Modern people aren't unused to seeing wood.
And please, brushed chrome? It's timeless - and it's metal. One hundred percent of the people I know are used to seeing chrome.
"One beneficiary could be Microsoft, where the design of Windows 8 distances itself from skeuomorphism by emphasizing a flat user interface that's minimalist to the core: no bevel, no 3-D flourishes, no glossiness and no drop shadow."
I hate minimalism, it's nothing new, it's nothing attractive, it requires no thought and it's ugly as hell.
All of the above is, of course, my taste. HEY! An idea... allow the user to choose. Oh, yeah... skins. Maybe he hasn't heard of them.
You're a pretty tiny little country, true? Do you have an area comparable to say Oklahoma to Dakota that you fulfilled the promise of high speed to, or are you just conveniently forgetting that your entire country's population/economics/difficulties amount to that of one of our bigger cities?
You understand that using "technically retarded untermensch" is simply a red flag to be interpreted as "I am emotionally twelve and have a comnputer", right?
Horse shit. I was around at the time. It was geeks.
They first started it all with overlaid ASCII characters making The Mona Lisa, Statue of Liberty, etc. Oh yes, and porn.
Then, when they got their hands on graphic software, they did it with pics and text.
Every example of the presence of bad/crappy/funny/intelligent/etc..... can be traced back to a geek doing it. That group has the same humorous and degenerate proclivities and impulses as everyone else and they had the first access.
By the way, don't use "unwashed masses" in the future. It's a red flag.
It's interesting to note those shoving this (and other) stupid assertions are predominately AC. This indicates to me they know damn good and well they're lying.
Yet again - they're paid for a year and can *OPT* to receive it in 9 month pieces or 12 month pieces.
My daughter is a teacher with a Masters in education. What you wrote is wrong. The courses they take are more for increasing their wage than retaining their job.
I hate left wing shitbag morons who misrepresent facts and hide behind Anonymous Coward.
No, their paycheck is split into 12 months from the yearly wage. Don't write from ignorance. The average teacher's pay beats the national average handily.
"t's not Facebook's or Google's fault that you can't figure out the filtering."
Um, he did figure out filtering and he appears to be managing his social networking privacy with greater control than you are.
You've simply upchucked an ad campaign, not proven you keep others from observing things you do. All those controls you use? They wrote them. They also wrote the system those controls give you perceived privacy within.
"whilst this system classifies people based on their actions and ideas"
No it doesn't. There's no follow up going on to match the words to people's subsequent actions. And please, the use of periods? What does that indicate? Grammar? How about my immediate excessive use of the question mark?
"(content of their character)."
Even further horseshit. There's no correlation betwixt grammar and character.
"Throwing a punch, a head-butt or a kick against another personÃ(TM)s head usually has fatal consequences and unfortunately many people have been murdered as such."
Simply put, this is bullshit. It's fairly difficult to kill someone with a punch to the head.
"Not true. The world was on a cooling trend until the industrial revolution."
Not true right back at ya. We're still cooling.
"So? Who cares what the temperature was like at some arbitrary point in the distant past?"
Uhhh... you. That's the fundamental point of the argument that "It's too hot now."
"The last time Earth saw this sort of rate-change was the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum."
You should note there were no humans around at that time, yet it occurred.
Passwords are like religion: some people see the need for them in every aspect of life and would prefer they be ever more complex, forcing the user to memorize and supplicate to them.
Passwords are way overrated. This would neither increase nor reduce security issues, merely exchange sets. On the other hand, Guitar Hero might become extremely popular.

You posted AC because you know damned well that the roles are actually reversed from your post.
On both counts.

I use the plant transformation spell. Which is your favorite?

"Physicists are actually very good at naming important things."
Up, down, top, bottom, strange, charm - these are called "flavors".
It's good to see that teachers can master posting (and responding to self) as AC.
What you wrote is a lie, pure and simple.
And you went to public school where they didn't teach you that your last sentence contradicted your second (primary assertion).
Stay AC.
It's interesting to note those shoving this (and other) stupid assertions are predominately AC. This indicates to me they know damn good and well they're lying.

It's written as a bifurcated choice. He said it, just not with text.
They're slated to arrive immediately behind your flying car.
He and he alone gets to decide what's compelling for him.
Search engines != the internet
You in no way negated his point.
"t's not Facebook's or Google's fault that you can't figure out the filtering."
Um, he did figure out filtering and he appears to be managing his social networking privacy with greater control than you are.
You've simply upchucked an ad campaign, not proven you keep others from observing things you do. All those controls you use? They wrote them. They also wrote the system those controls give you perceived privacy within.
Always keep this in mind... it ain't open source.
