Which is quite insane, when you take in account that Christianity is strongly OPPOSED to circumcision:
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all. Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law. You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. -- Galatians 5
I am circumcised, and I say with no hesitation that circumcised penises look grotesque, abnormal, and defective. To be circumcised is to live in an antinatural state.
The issue with WinME was this: it would accept both older VxD drivers and newer WDM drivers. Their jerry-rigged solution to make VxD drivers work made the system extremely unstable. But as long as you used only WDM drivers, it was solid.
I wanted to get one from them, but their shipping calculator doesn't include my country; I tried to ask, and they never replied to my email. Went to eBay and got a Solidtek 6600 instead.
The benefit is the fact that it is "infinitely tall": throw the cursor to the top, and you get the menu. Since overshooting is impossible, you have to aim in just one axis. In other systems, you have to aim in two axes, which makes the whole thing more error-prone.
Usability-wise, the single menu bar is so absurdly superior... I absolutely can't understand people not liking it. The mind boggles! It's like you're saying "Brad Pitt is ugly, but Marty Feldman is handsome". Or maybe, "chocolate is awful, but caperberries are delicious". Or any other crazy comparison that shows your brain is wired backwards, I don't know.
People will buy computers with Windows 8, yes. Then they will ask, "What the hell is with this crazy system? I can't use this piece of shit!" And their nerd friends will promptly disable UEFI and hopefully help them move to Linux, or at least run a pirated copy of Windows 7. Seriously, 8 is borderline unusable.
I don't think "awesome" was ever a good description of Windows. At best it was "acceptable" or "tolerable". Interface-wise, it always felt primitive, clumsy, and nonsensical.

Ask your wife why she wanted to go against the counsel of Saint Paul (see Galatians 5).
They are also psychologically important - some women who get their breasts removed feel much less "woman". Circumcision is not even similar to that.
You don't know how absolutely wrong you are.
Christian men are more likely to be circumcised

The original version of the Torah did not contain those lines, they were added centuries later. The contract is therefore void.
"Mommy, what did they do in Sodom that was sinful?"
"Now this was the sin of Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy." - Ezekiel 16:49
Pac-Man was not even a port, it was a prototype of a port.

So many good distros out there, and you mention Ubuntu?!
Funny, in my experience, MS-Office is the crashy one.

Ah, that's a legit case. Apple should implement this: each screen gets the same menu bar.

All Ubuntu are doing is adopt Apples marketing methods.
The difference being this: OSX has a damn good interface, while Unity is just horrible.

Consider this: early LCDs had horrible picture quality, and even now it takes a pretty high end LCD to compare to a good CRT.

Yeah, that framerate is still poor. It should have been 60, at least.
Blame the shit remastering.
Daikatana was flawed, yet it was still more enjoyable than Doom 3. And it was a COMPLETE game, unlike Rage.
At boot time you can press a key to choose the boot order for that session alone, without messing with the BIOS' settings.
Yeah, I was interested in it mostly as an emulation machine. Anything wrong about that?
You fail at math.
I'm saying, their baseline machines are kinda expensive in the first place, but when it comes to upgrading, they really, REALLY gouge you with gusto.
