It's harder to write short, succint points. It's much easier to ramble, especially because a lot of people equate long and wordy points with being smart.
Orwell ranted about the problem.
I use Flickr as part of my backup scheme, as well.
I just got a dslr and have been shooting raw files which take up a substantial amount of storage. The raw files get dumped out of the camera onto the raid 5 media server in the basement. A script runs on Sundays to copy those files to an external USB drive. As I go through the photos and find the ones that are presentable (about 1 out of every 200, it seems... yeah, I'm not a great photographer. Yet.) those get saved as jpegs and uploaded to Flickr. They also get copied into the keepers folder and that is synced to dropbox.
So, the raw files are on two disks but one location and the keeper files are on two disks and two online locations. Should a plane crash into the house, I'll have the important files at least. The raw ones will probably get trashed anyway at some point in the future...
No. It's that movie-making has become "cold". There's little humanity in a lot of the blockbusters these days and long takes allow actors and filmmakers to showcase a living, breathing scene.
Like in music, technical perfection is uninteresting. The soul is in the little details and mistakes.
They like each part of it. But for some reason when you group them together and call it Obamacare, talk about death panels, scream "socialism" every chance you get, and mention big govt waste over and over and over, people didn't end up liking it.
I think he's trying to point out that there are a lot of variables out there this cycle and no one really knows what influence they will have. He's just pointing out what those issues might turn out to be. I didn't take it to mean that these were certain to be influential variables... just that they might be.
I don't really think there's much difference between the conservatives in Afghanistan and the ones in the US. Both want to legislate morality based on religion.

Isn't that the real story here? A journalist actually investigated a story and uncovered something interesting.
As succinctly as possible: fuck this, more coffee.

Let the flamewar begin!
That's your opinion and you are entitled to that. I've been disillusioned with the megapixel hype and I'm not sure I agree with you.
No, YOU shut up!
Is the Empire here to crush us?! Save us, Luke!
What's trollish about it? People that don't believe that evolution occurs are idiots. Morons. Dumbasses. Is this trolling as well?
It sounds like you're very proud of being an insufferable prick that no one wants to work with.
You know what would get kids interested in science again? Making them read research papers.
We are the gray goo.
Many shoes have metal shanks in them. It's not terribly ridiculous, actually.

It's common practice for each word to be capitalized in a headline or title. Much like the title of your own post. http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=capitalize+each+word+headline
Obama is farther right than Reagan and Nixon.
Actually, the public likes the healthcare reform.

Voting for either major party because you think one is fiscally more responsible than the other is stupid. Sorry.
After all, the Republicans have gained the House of Representatives... let's just not remember that the Senate and Presidency is still Democratic.
HUGE mandate.... of course knowing some Repubs, they're probably actually hoping for a "man date".
Vulnerabilities are found and hopefully patched.
As for Windows Phone 7, what we don't know won't hurt us, right?

Let me guess, anything to the left of NewsMax is considered a "liberal blog".

No thanks.
That's what you get for resting on your laurels.
When I think hip, happening, cutting edge, pushing the envelope, fun.... I don't think Microsoft.
