Pfffbbt! Canada! Of course you don't put imaginary lands on watch lists. Canada is an old fairy tell parents tell when they don't want their children to become improv comics or hockey fans.
I will risk saying this without the Anonumous box checked
Look out, we've got a badass over here.
The only hysteria I see is the people going off on rants and/or tossing out homophobic slurs (like Mr. AC above) when there is Apple news. Seriously, any Apple news here or on Ars or Wired has endless "Derp! iFag! iSheep! iHerd! Nothing I don't like should be allowed to exist!" in the comments.
There's thousands of popular things out there I don't care for. I ignore them for the most part.
A term long accepted by the street to mean a personal computer running some variant of the Windows operating system.
Now and then someone will think it is clever to ask "Derp, are they not all personal computers? Derp!" in an attempt to sound like, I don't know, some sort of hipster or cool kid something... who the fuck can tell?
Seriously, I can't recall the last time I heard a religious person make the claim. It's 100% sarcastic atheists. It's getting to be the airline food joke of the geekverse.
Unfortunately most of their audience seems not to care, but would rather repeat cool-sounding but meaningless words than learn anything about actual science and technology.
I virtualize 3D crowdfunded clicktivism in the social cloud ecosystem via the hypernet with my OLED phablet!
Actually, it needs to be a chart of how long it is until the "awesome technological breakthrough!" in question is never heard about again. It ranges from 1 to 6 months.
I still remember arguing with supposed geeks online years ago about a claim some company was making about delivering 2 Gbps internet to every home in a neighborhood over existing power lines. Yes, 2Gig individually to each home. Some piffle about power lines having infinite bandwidth because they are not inside a shield like a regular cable or... something.
People were tossing all the hoary old quotes at me from people in the past who said everything was invented or heavier than air craft would never fly. I think someone even trotted out the Ben Franklin quote about giving up rights. *shrug* I guess they were a little slow. I tried to argue impedances, Shannon theory, those pesky transformers, and basic EM physics, but to no avail. People *know* *what* *they* *know*, especially when it comes to things they know nothing about.
A few months later the company web site was gone, and early investors were left wondering where their pants went.

In the real world, fine's are much more.
Improper use of an apostrophe. $50 fine and 20 points from Gryffindor.
I do? Really? Either it happens I'm sleepwalking or you're a complete dumbass.
Well, joking partially. I'd like to see a few more tightwads in office to balance things out.
Uh, I suppose I shouldn't mention I kind of like it, then.
I'm only a little ways in, but it's starting to make sense. Messaging... yeah...
Although that could be me falling prey to the Obj-C equivalent of Reaper indoctrination or something.

I figured they'd just go to birds of prey next or something if Mac OS ever goes to 11, or XI.
Sharks? Mac OS 11.0 Mako. 11.1 Thresher. 11.2 Fricken Lasers.
I love those. Big poofy tails FTW.
With Lion King, though, they do some sort of "circle of life" thing in the ads.

I signed up for free last month as part of my new journey into the deep, dark lands of Objective C because I want to program this iPad thing I bought.
I see square brackets in my sleep. Brackets everywhere! Halp!

So Fuck you!
Oh, yeah, no overreaction in your post at all.
Eh. I was pushing for Lion King.
The average farmer I grew up with would climb over his dead mother to save $1.
Any chance of recruiting them to run for office?

Anyway, I hope this helps.
How does (Score:0, Funny) even exist? I'm calling HP tech support to find out.
Tried it. He was not pleased after the fire was put out.
And when people take things on YouTube too seriously, they say "What is this? Slashdot?"
First lets get this out of the way "Obligatory Dick Clark comment"
These plants haven't been cloning perfectly for 200,000 years, there is drift and errors in cloning too.
So is that why a billion year old amoeba supposedly doesn't count?
More importantly, when did Dick Clark jokes become obligatory around here?
Please spend the rest of the day in silent introspection.
I forwarded this to my boss. He didn't buy it. :-(
I've never quite figured out why Satan is so enamored with this world
He's got an enormous coke habit.
Also: whores
Could we put this one to rest, maybe?

You still grumbling and whining like a little tool? Get back to your dark, backward thinking basement and let those with vision do their thing.
So sit in your basement and fume. Who cares? Meanwhile others will shoot for orbit.
You're a fuddy-duddy.
