    Yes so they can sell you evil things, ensure you're only doing evil deeds and make sure you're not moistening yourself with any unauthorized substances.

  5. Re:User Agent? on Google To Force Basic HTML Gmail On Older Chrome Versions (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm so glad I never liked Chrome and never liked Gmail, so I never used them. It's bad enough that their search engine has mostly become a steaming pile of irrelevancy that can't tell the difference between a user trying to drill down through the clouds of shit they throw up, and a bot. I'm getting really sick of being forced to go through endless captchas as a result of Google's 'lowest common denominator' philosophy.

    You realize most health and life insurance plans ask you if you're a tobacco user right? They do factor that in.

    What benefit does it provide? There is none. It's entirely unnecessary and bad.

    Whether or not you agree with this particular method, stress relief certainly is necessary.

    I'll agree to this as soon as the masses have to sign a waiver promising no healthcare for weight-related difficulties while they continue their lack-of-activity-with-doughnuts spree.

    Don't forget the same talking heads that are denying climate science are the ones who want to protect the "unborn", the "preborn" and the "whateverborn" simply because their sex life is unhappy and they want everyone else's to be too.

    Worrying about what happens centuries from now isn't just stupid, it is utterly irresponsible.

    At the same time, sticking one's head in the sand and completely ignoring the continued compounding of the problem is also utterly irresponsible.

    It is an informed opinion by people who spend their life studying such things, particularly enough to understand personal bias and how to leave it at the door. If that happens to coincide with my worldview so be it.

    Steam has done more to bring quality games to Linux than anyone besides perhaps Unity3D. I'll take the occasional outage (neverrmind that offline mode works wonderfully in these scenarios) if they continue to bring good games to my platform of choice.
