I find it hard to believe that anyone can really care for some random anonymous people. The only reason people make the parents statement is because its "the thing to do". I personally think it cheapens the accident by pretending to care.
I think if someones coming at you with a baseball bat you have the right to shoot them. Ive seen and read of far too many "Step out of the car sir" tasering incidents where the suspect is posing absolutely no threat except maybe disagreeing with the officer.
You know what I love about thunderbird? The way it wont "get mail" on my pop3 account if I also have an IMAP account in the same client. Isnt that wonderful! Beautiful design. Just silently failing to pick up messages from one account. Thats the kind of service I want from my mail app! Sure I can get it by right clicking and then clicking on the individual account but come on...
But really the fact it doesnt have a calandar is why it cant be deployed in an office environment. Theres some way on outlook to send caladar items to other people. I have seen many people using this, could it not be reverse engineered to work with outlook?
Second, measure yourself every day. If you are interested in your weight, then get a scale and step on it every day.
Strongly disagree. This is the worst thing you can do because you can very easily lose a few pounds depending on when you weigh (Mornings, after meals, after sweating out a bunch of water). It is more likely to discourage you and make you obsessed over a statistic that doesnt really matter. The healthy weight for you is what you feel comfortable in. I tend to measure mine in belt notches and find that to be a good metric.
Also theres the fact that muscle weighs more than fat so you could actually be in better shape and weigh more. Everything else you said was pretty on though. The most important thing is to make it a lifestyle choice and not a diet. I know that I will have to go to the gym for the rest of my life, but its so routine now that I couldnt really picture my life without it.
Yeah of course, it's not like child rapist people can be interesting or cool to hang out with or anything. Let's lock 'em all up so they don't spread their child abuse around. Now replace child rapists with sexy bitches in the above sentence and see if you agree.
Thats kind of rude. Skinny girls in my experience have just as many mental hangups about their weight as fat chicks. Every guy wants big breasts so even if you have no body fat, your still flat. It really depends how fat the girl is. When I see a fat girl (not chubby, but round) the first thing I think of is 'well if she doesnt care about herself enough to lose weight, why should I care about her?'. It takes effort to stay in shape, and that also quite frequently mirrors how much effort they put into the relationship.
Personally I dont care about weight too much. Its more important what a girls face looks like becuase you cant very well put a bag over her head can you.
Delayed write fail means there is either a problem with your drive, OS patches (windows 2000 has an issue prior to sp4 iirc), the bios on the motherboard, or the SATA controller drivers. I have multiple 500 gb sata drives in windows 2k that all work fine.

Steve Jobs Hates Buttons

"Changing tracks, play/pause, seeking, and volume can all be done without looking. Hold down fast forward/rewind instead of using the scroll wheel to seek, and then you can still change volume with scroll wheel."
Unless you accidentally hit the menu button and get thrown out of the volume control. Or the opposite, which happens to me all the time where your trying to switch tracks and your hand slips a little causing the thing to change volume. Once you have the levels on your deck EQ and sub and everything set just right, its really annoying to have to reset the ipod volume or risk distortion. And this is just me who uses it all the time. Give a passenger the ipod and they will without fail accidentally change the volume.
"These are not often-used functions for most people"
Exactly. If your not "most people" you either adapt or fuck off. Even microsoft products are generally more configurable than apples and microsoft are the king of forcing you into all kinds of crazy behaviors.
Yes. Indeed. Now tell me, are those buttons configurable? Or am I trusting steve jobs to know what the focus of my tasks should be. If its like the ipod, then it wont be configurable so you are stuck with whatever apple "thinks" you should have or do. That is to me the main problem with apple products. They work one way, and you either have to adapt to it or not use the device.
A good example is how the ipod auto pauses when the audio jack is removed. One would think that this would be configurable seeing as how EVERYONE removes their headphones eventually. But no. Apple forces you to behave the way THEY want. They make decisions for you and then are so brainwashed by their "innovation" that they never think to make those innovations configurable.
"today, most would feel this was a smart move, and the ubiquitous USB drive has replaced the clunky floppy. Overall, a success."
Until you have to flash a bios or make a drivers diskette to install windows. There are many uses for the floppy still. Computers boot ability off of jump drives varies wildly. Its silly not to have a floppy drive, they are only like 9 bucks and take up little space on a desktop or server.
Your still distracted by the conversation youre having. Without a doubt every single asshole driving 10kmh under the speedlimit, not signalling and generally not paying attention is on a cel phone. Every time. It should be the same level offence as drinking and driving. Take away their license for a year. Second offence, jailtime.
If your driving in a car, you should be 100% focused on the road. period.
"And if so, how on earth do they ever make sense of their electric bill?"
Let me guess. You have a watt metre and have measured and labeled every light fixture and outlet in the house. You then calculate the time of use and multiply that by the rate of electricity. If it doesnt match your bill you bitch and scream at the electric company about them "stealing ur powers".
Meanwhile us hoopleheads just pay the damn thing and let the elecric company handle the monitoring. What fools we are!

"how do I back up massive amounts of data on removable disks? I created a drive image of my Vista boot partition. That required two DVDs"
You're not seriously suggesting that 2 dvds (9gb) is a "massive" amount of data are you?
Who cares about backing up windows anyway? Its the userdata thats important. For most people with even a moderate mp3, video and picture collection it would take tens if not hundreds of dvds to back up.
Yeah i completely agree. Watching TV at other peoples places is crazy. It just sucks you right in. Im trying to process what I saw in an ad, and ill notice that I am now like 5 ads behind! Im still thinking about some trees shape in a lexus ad and now theres one for nissan. I used to like this, treating ads like little "mini programmes", analyzing them and stuff. That feeling quickly goes away when you realize that you just saw this ad before. Then you see it again, and again and AGAIN! no wonder people tune them out. I really had forgotten, not having cable for six or seven years.
I had a similar experience when not using adblock, but virgin IE on a friends machine. Most sites i visit daily have tonnes of ads! who knew!!! Did you know even slashdot has ads? thats crazy!
"The easiest way to make war safer, besides spewing some idealistic crap about 'lets never fight wars!' is to take the survival of soldiers out of the equation."

"Air travel + PSP + movies (on a memory stick) = Heaven."
Well except for your stated 3 hour battery life (my laptop has 5-6 when watching movies), and the small ass screen you have to watch it on. But yeah i guess you found the one use for a psp. Too bad more people don't take long flights and enjoy squinting or it would really take off!
"I just kick myself for waiting a year to get one."
I dont see why. Craigslist has tonnes of them fully loaded for 150-200. Didnt it retail for double that a year ago?
"Sony has marketed it INCREDIBLY poorly."
I can see the ad now, something to do with mr magoo, living in an airport, with a sac of double A batteries.
Can you explain why i want my phone to be obscenely thin? Will i have the need to snap it in half at some point?
And my Motorola L2, according to motorola has a depth of 10mm. (http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=709) . It generally only requires two charges per week and I use several hours of talktime a day plus vibrate. It also cost a hundred bucks no contract so its not like this tech is expensive.
Oh and it has a removable battery. I get to be the professional "battery replacer", which is as it should be.
Counter strike source doesnt have ads. I kept hearing people say "CS has ads!!1" but I couldnt figure out what they were talking about. I finally made someone show me their client with ads irl and low and behold it was old cs.
The solution there is to upgrade. CSS plays way better anyway.
