I enjoy a lovely Mountain Dew high every morning at work, and never suffer any ill effects... other than the giant spiders. Those can be a bit off putting. The glowing, telepathic ferrets usually keep them at bay, though. Hallucinations! Pfft! As if! Now excuse me. I must kiss teh sky.
But as an engineer, I worked at least 9 hour days anyway. For me it was like getting 26 extra days off a year. I use the Friday off to get shopping done at the nearly empty stores in the mornings.

I realize that we Linux-only households are few and far between, but as a cross-platform version of iTunes already exists, why not make a version for Linux too?
Because you are few and far between. And have no money. Or always act like you don't. And you smell. And dress funny. And people laugh at you and put dirt in your hair.
I used to chuckle at such ideas, but I'm getting there myself. I watched Jericho seasons 1 and 2 over the past couple months thanks to Netflix streaming. Just about everything is released on DVD these days, even short lived series (Firefly and Wonderfalls had nice boxed sets). Even silly Adult Swim stuff. I have enjoyed the first two seasons of Dexter on DVD without ever paying Showtime a monthly fee.
The trick is to get past the "gotta see it now!" feeling from decades of living with live TV. There's also the idea of only paying for what I am watching instead of supporting 50 billion channels I never watch.
Didn't Oregon secede or something? I read that somewhere. It's a pretty left wing area, isn't it, especially Portland? This thing should trigger spontaneous orgasms with those folks. The love The Machine as much as the neocons.

Don't make me come over there, you yellow and purple polka-dotted mushroom... dog... thing... Wait. Where am I?
Ideally this will bring transparency to citizens and inform them of their senators' & representatives' positions and ideas.
Ha ha ha ha ha! You kids these days with your crazy talk! :-)

The romance of space travel just went down in flames.

And he has the X-Rays to prove it.
Pfft. Amateur. *Real* nerds have an MRI.
You're gonna need a lot of Nuka Cola mines, cause frag mines ain't gonna cut it. Are there enough Nuka Cola Quantums in the world?
Sorry... too much Fallout 3.

LOL! Or maybe Ceiling Cat can hork up a mighty furball of doom.
SRSLY, what is there to debate? It's wall to wall fuckheads. I guess some folks side with one set of fuckheads or another.

Problem is that most people are way too stupid to understand how to use that, but they can understand smash.
Exactly. Even the Hulk can understand smash.
From what I have seen all first person shooters have a shooting ridicule
What, like some NPC that follows you around and rags on you when you miss?
Doesn't rhyme, either. :-)
The WORST thing about the iTunes store is the Top-10 seller lists. I haven't seen a track on there in years that I'd buy.
Them damn kids with their crap music and their pink nanos and their ranked multiplayer death matches! Who do they think they are?

I routinely travel 16+ hours.
How do you do that? It would drive me insane. I travel for work once every 12-18 months, and I even hate that.

Hey, lighten up! I'm teasing!
Mostly.
This is the dawning of the age of Schillermania! Forget the false god Jobs. The Schiller will lead us to the promised land!
He even sang "The Best Is Yet to Come!'
What? That was Tony Bennett? Oh. Still... PHIL! PHIL! PHIL!
What... where my damned quad core iMac?
Change!

Digital TV is all-or-none.
0 = none
1 = all
No more "X has lost its innocence". Retire it already. It's sappy and a relic of the previous century.
Those conditions aren't as visible as stupidity. :-)
But seriously, I do wonder when someone in modern times asks when the politicians became stupid.
Answer: Around the time the first hominid took a leadership role (translation: he had the biggest club) in an early nomadic tribe.

Did all the politicians in this country take a bunch of stupid pills or something?
1. No, they were born stupid. Sadly, their brains overcompensate with +10 Charisma and they can get other stupid people to vote for them.
2. Politicians, and before them lords and popes and other riff-raff, have generally been inbred idiots for centuries. Where have you been?

Just paste a picture of Matlock to an old Etch-A-Sketch and tell them it's a laptop.
Seriously, give them the intertoobs, and within a week all their money will heading to Nigeria to purchase viAG-rRa.
