"all ready" with no place to go? Sounds like a typical geek. (I'm sure you meant "already")

discussee? Does that mean you were talking at her instead of to her?
Sorry to nitpick proper english, but you use -ee and -or when something is being done from one person to the other. (A trustor trusts a trustee with something. An assignor assigns something to an assignee.)However, you were both discussers in a discussion (there is no discussor or discussee.)
Aren't you being a little overly defensive? The main point to my original post is that a book requiring mind-altering substances to be enjoyable is problematic. It was not a judgement call regarding potheads. (I can give you one of those too, if you're interested)
"I think filtering out childrens' swearwords in a chatroom is just silly. But I was getting paid to do it, so..."
Did you see the latest Simpsons, where the singles, seniors, childless couples, etc try to banish anything children-related so that they are free to swear, have uncensored television, etc?
I used to work for them a few years ago and I agree with the fact that marketing tries to push stuff that the public doesn't necessarily want. They're definitely not as egregious as micro$oft in this regard, but they do try.
actually, what happened in this case is that each of those 3 sites had one review and then all of a sudden all 3 of them had all 3 reviews. I can't do anything about the fact that they updated them after I linked to them.
Sorry if I miscommunicated. What I meant was that unlike the idiot AC who posted the parent that I replied to (where he's complaining about VeryGeekyBooks), your post (and many other examples) are people who like the site. Thanks!
"A Dremel is something these users will need to keep handy. Remember, the Dremel is for the SFF case, and not to lop off the FM-Tuner."
I'm surprised he rated the card so well, considering case modifications are required to make it fit in the SFF case. Your average gamer/PC user will not want to go through the hassle of cutting part of the case to make it fit. They'll probably just return it if they can't make it fit immediately.

I am not making excuses for my current behavior. My previous behavior of spamming links was wrong and I stopped it. If you don't see the difference, then I feel sorry for you. Providing links to other book reviews is useful and providing pricing information is useful. No ads or links on/. generate any money for me in any way. If you go to my site and look at my content, then my ads there generate money for me, same as any other site.
I had a brain fart for a second while reading the article:
"This is why the advances that have the most striking impact on the nature and function of the computer are the ones that move data closer to the functional units. A list of such advances might look something like: DRAM, PCI, on-die caches, DDR signaling, and even the Internet"
For a second there, I thought that the list of advances started with DRM, not DRAM, and I almost had a heart attack.

This isn't the stonecutters (my worth is not "assigned based on the order in which I joined")....besides who the hell are you, AC?

I was joking about the pronounciation, but why is it weak if I was "serious"? Is there some hidden meaning for po-thead that I am not aware of?
"new agers, pot-haters, and supporters of the Bush administration could get their noses out of joint"
So, you have to be a pothead to enjoy this book? And isn't that the same as a new ager?
btw, it's pronounced po-thead, not pot-head.

either that or you're doing too many drugs (or not enough, depending on who you are)

Don't forget India, they are reworking part of their missle program towards human space flight....
actually OS X is more like BSD than linux (BECAUSE IT IS BSD!)
Google did cache the second page for each console:

Handhelds
PC
real google cache

it's not my fault sites copy and paste each other's reviews

Unlike you, most people find that site to contain very useful content.
