If the average person doesn't know that pretty much every electronic device contains metals, then he's even dumber than I thought.
A microwave oven is the only method of heating things that you can't put metals in. Not everybody studies the internals of every system they use and they might not know that metals reflect microwaves.
McDonalds coffee has caused people who tried to drink it to get third-degree burns on their mouth and stomach. The Stella Awards site gives some bullshit about how that's how hot you're supposed to have it, which is bullshit unless you're Starbucks and you need to have all your coffee tasting like shit instead of only some of it, but even Starbucks lets it cool down for a bit before giving you coffee hot enough to hospitalize you. I think that lawsuits like that should have a certain amount given to the defendant and then a punitive amount funneled into the government so that the companies will have an incentive to actually do things the fucking right way.

That's how. Think asbestos and tobacco being sold as recommended by doctors. (Yes, that second one really happened--there used to be cigarette commercials saying "4 out of 5 doctors recommend [brand] cigarettes")
I guess you want anybody who doesn't research every single fucking product they buy for seven years to die.
I'm talking mostly about the litigation, which is the fake "problem" this and the fucking stupid Stella Awards are trying to "solve". Now there are problems with the court system but the problems which cause the Stella Awards cases are much less important than the fact that the actual problems with McDonalds coffee which have caused third-degree burns to the people who tried to drink them are all shuffled away with out-of-court settlements.
Why do we only hear about the cases stupidly decided in favor of the plantiff? Hearing about the cases stupidly decided in favor of the defendant doesn't help the case of the people supporting corporacracy and Social Darwinism, that's why. McDonalds and the corporate media only want a lawsuit shown in the media if it's like the Stella case where the plantiff did something stupid. How else can they convince the common man to want a more corporate court, working against their interests?
It's not the customizability that's the problem. The problem is that the majority of customizable systems don't know what a reasonable default is. Xfce seems to be an exception in that although it has extensive configuration, I've only had to use it once and that was to make selection follow the mouse, which is something not very many people want.
I do recall people having fun with an JFK shooting re-enactment game. And considering the reports from the people who have actually played this Columbine game, this sets it apart from the Columbine game.
Try Xfce. It uses GTK+ like Gnome does but it doesn't make all the same fucking stupid mistakes that Gnome does. It also doesn't try to imitate Windows like Gnome and KDE do, something which is counterproductive to people coming from Windows(it fucks up their muscle memory) and annoying to those who don't like Windowsisms. It also has less bloat than either major environment.
Gnome and GTK+ are LGPL rather than GPL so you can write software under any licence and dynamically link to it. LGPL is my favorite license because it keeps my code free without dictating the requirements of your code.
Although I haven't used either Gnome or KDE for at least a year--my current favorite is Xfce, which uses GTK+ and is by default less bloated than even a stripped-down Gnome/KDE configuration. It's the most pleasurable interface I've ever used.
On this meme:
I liked it the first time.
I also liked it the second time.
The third time it grew on me.
Times four through twelve, I was ready to declare it my favorite meme.
After the thirteenth repetition of the meme, I began to notice subtle but grating flaws in your references to Douglas Adams.
Around repetition twenty-four, I decided that only violence can stop comparisons of Wikipedia to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
And around 31 I was weighing the pros and cons of various weapons.
Wow, a conversation with one of the most unfunny guys in history. I wish Uwe Boll would kill him. At least Uwe isn't worshipped by a bunch of assholes on the Internet.
The same way it got kicked out. From what I understand it's a crappy game which is only anything more than a footnote because it was controversial. Ah well, live by the controversy, die by the controversy.

A lot of people don't like the term "comic book" because it implies humor. Quite a few comic books/graphic novels were not meant to be funny.
He's apparently writing about dogs.

Because I don't want you making my code proprietary.

Although a few libertarian Slashdotters seem to want Social Darwinism.
Xfce is awesome.
Now I understand. It's what the Kopete developers were drinking when they created that horrid program.
I don't know about Thunderbird but Firefox has about:config.

It's better than Social Darwinism.

More RAM was used by that diatribe than by useless use of cat, and more time was taken up by his reading of it than useless use of cat.

I know. Why the hell is Naruto on there?
Sorry, but just about everything that comes out of somethingawful is, well, awful. That site is the asshole of the Internet and is full of dicks.

No, most of the censorship efforts in the US come from the right wing too. Then again, there isn't much of a left wing in the US anyways...

I have llamas as well. Mostly from said commands but also from a fortune file about lllamas and some random Spanish text.
