early adopter of Linux and I have never regretted it. It has been a struggle at times, but well worth it.
Me too. But man, it's still a struggle actually. I bought a new laptop and installed Ubuntu. Of course, sleep/wakeup doesn't work (just crashes the laptop). But I like the fights, the struggle!
Like you, I suffer from Stockholm Syndrome. I tell Linux, "come here baby". Then she smiles and sits on my lap, looks me in the eye and then slaps me in the face. She says, hand raised again: "you like that, huh bitch?" Teary-eyed, I stammer, "yes, Linux, I like that." Then she slaps me again, two or three times, while saying: "What about this?" *slaps* "And this, you goddamn pussy!"
And then Ubuntu upgrades the kernel, and my WiFi no longer works. The pain is now in a whole new dimension. But as you said, it's a struggle, but it's worth it.
sitting around and listening to someone elses noise, and watching their tv shows, and adding their laundry into the pile, just doesn't fit my life.
That sounds like marriage. Which isn't necessary at all for a good relationship. Why not try living-apart-together with a younger girl? Plenty of girls are into dating older men, who are more stable and have their act together financially.
You're a bit weird in this respect, most PCs are set up to one account as well. For example, Outlook doesn't ask you to log in everytime you start it. What you want is a multi-user environment on a device typically bought for a single user.
Anyway, why not set up a dummy GMail account? Then replace the Mail icon with a shortcut to the GMail login page.
What? Did you think they had parties with unlimited vodka and JÃfgermeister for the peons?
I'm a developer but a bit more outgoing than your average bunch of devs. And it's my experience that there is a large part of this group that doesn't even want to go to a party with girls, even if you tell them it's all paid for.
we have Dave the Project Manager, and instead of a foam missile launcher, Dave has a baseball bat
Dave: A man becomes preeminent, he's expected to have enthusiasms. Enthusiasms, enthusiasms... What are mine? What draws my admiration? What is that which gives me joy? Unit testing! A man sits alone with his editor. This is the time for what? For individual achievement. There he stands alone. But when checking in, what? Part of a team. Teamwork... Builds, runs unit tests, svn update, svn checkin. Part of one big team. If his team don't field... what is he? You follow me? No one. Sunny day, gcc compiles without errors. What does he have to say? I'm goin' out there for myself. But... I get nowhere unless the team runs the unit tests!
Developers: Team!

On Linux, they aren't yet putting the tabs in the window titlebar. The screenshots show the usual Windows version, which looks awesome compared to what I see when I run it on Debian.
Honestly, I can't see the argument for a single bag
You only have two hands. I could add to this argument, but it really comes down to this. Sometimes you need to have your bag in your hand plus have one hand free.
Slashdot Mirror
Try Google Docs on Opera. The first spreadsheet I opened, doesn't work in Opera.
The compatibility issues with Opera are NOT gone.
Why the fuck was Pope modded troll? It's a totally valid comment in this case.

Well, if you're going to talk like that, then I guess you need to think about what's really important for you.

RememberTheMilk already has connected Siri to their task management app

It's a deserved market position.
Samsung does nicely both in the budget segment (Samsung Gio, for example) as well as in the high range Android market, the Galaxy S2, Vibrant, etc.

Good riddance, I'd say. I'm sick and tired of the 800 lb gorilla sticking its nose in everything that has more than a dozen transistors.
I think you've answered your own question, then. Retry without the extensions.
Well then, the usual question is: what extensions are you using?

If a person wants to keep something private do not post it on Facebook!
That is one way. The other way is to have fun on Facebook, but maintain the correct privacy settings.
Sender is a midget artificial intelligence and is distressed that her bath is leaking.
Actually, Steve Jobs removed the AI feature from the iPhone, because it used too much battery juice.
Perhaps you can't remove it, but still prevent it from starting in the first place, via the Autostarts app.
On a cold boot, I can wander off, make a cup of tea, come back and it may just be ready
That's nothing! When I leave work, I reboot and when I show up the next morning, the hard drive LED is still warm!
Of course, this leaves my login wide open, so I have resorted to various Dungeons&Dragons-like maze full of traps to get into my office.
The dwarf from the helpdesk already got skewered by an animated skeleton. But that's the price you pay for security.

I can't find the Kindle version on Amazon. Can you provide me with a link?
Its all a matter of who wants your data and what they are willing to get it.
It's my wife. To get my data, she's willing to do anything except have sex with me
*cries*

I also expect the same from any students who friend me. I have reported a few students who posted pictures of themselves drinking.
Really?? Isn't that a bit weird? Do you actually tell them in class; "I look through your photos and if I find you drinking, then I will report it"?
I think it's more appropriate to say that you betrayed them, rather than you reported them.
On Linux, they aren't yet putting the tabs in the window titlebar. The screenshots show the usual Windows version, which looks awesome compared to what I see when I run it on Debian.
I'm considering hiring an attractive young woman to turn pages for me, but I'm still waiting for my wife to approve the proposal I submitted.
I suggest you revise the proposal, where you let your your wife turn the pages.
Perhaps this arrangement will be acceptable to your wife?
keynote sessions being made available for free public streaming
Actually, the keynotes weren't made available. They escaped, leaving a bloody trail of network engineers in their wake.
