Thank you....I thought I better peruse the comments before adding my $0.02.
My first thought when reading the article was...who the f#ck buys a computer at Office Depot unless they are the LAST place in town with stock and you absolutely, positively need it right now. Otherwise, Newegg baby!
I was responding more directly to the fact that we're not "running out of water". Sending a giang Super Soaker into space is fucking looney tunes idea any way you slice it.
"What was the name of the old hag that lived on the corner of Chesterfield Dr and Britton Rd. who would scream at us to keep off her lawn or she'd call the cops?"
or
"What was the name of the fat bastard that would steal our football if it went into his front yard?"
Ah yes....childhood. I have a loooonng shit list of the people who pissed me off.
Right, but the key I think is...what is their retention level? Good God, how many questions can anyone have? Do they not remember from one day to the next how to do something? Or do they think their exact same question as one of the other 99 users is going to get a different answer?
How about a FAQ to help reduce the redundant questions.
I think I'd go "Postal" (TM) if I had that many questions coming in from such a small user group day in and day out.
Do you also piss in people's beer at the pub just because they don't like it?
No, just enjoy pissing off dirty hippies at every chance I get. And I would probably piss on their feet when at the urinal. I can't get up on the bar like I could,...I'm gettting old.
The last time I tried to get into Canada, I was turned back at the border, so I have no idea how many are up there. Next time, I'll try growing a mullet to bypass the checks at the border

We get that Shakespeare play from Bobo the chimp?
Maybe the keepers should leave a typewriter in there with him and see what develops.

We are already approaching a world wide water shortage are we not?
No, we're not. Take a look at the earth from space....75% water. WTF?
Do you mean Drinkable water? Why the fuck would we send bottled water to space when salt water or mud puddle water would work just as well?
Like a locak IQ test...Interesting.

Friends come and go....enemies accumulate.
Wot the 'ell is she doing out of the kitchen!?!?
Back in there woman....or I'll give ye the back of me hand.
False.
The information I learned about computers in 1980 is still valid. Is there MORE stuff? sure
What? Where to place the punch holes in card stock?
Relax, I was just making a joke. I assume you mean thinking logically, deconstructing a problem into smaller elements...etc.
Right?
As a point of curiosity...were you taught OOP? I assume FORTRAN, COBOL, maybe C or Pascal? I'm taking CompSci classes currently so I'd be curious.
I was thinking the same thing about Shakespeare, Plato, etc.
the last one I bought at Farley's was out of date.
Wait....they expire?
That explains alot...
At what point in the story do we find out the Cities in question are all joint members of this site as a way to make some extra $$$?
Excuse me while I re-adjust my tinfoil hat.

Well, they did capitalize Jobs in the title instead of using lower case, so yes....I thought they were talking about him again.

BINGO!
You get a cookie.
What's a factor of 10 among friends?
The last time I tried to get into Canada, I was turned back at the border, so I have no idea how many are up there.

(Mullet == Canadian Passport).
Actually, I don't think you went far enough.
Kindle2 == Steak knife (good at one thing)
Netbook == Swiss Army Knife (pretty good at a BUNCH of things)
Kindle2 price is equivilent to a Netbook
For me, the netbook makes more sense for the money.
If the Kindle was $50, then fine.
But it's too much for a single purpose item of that sort.
Used motor oil
That's what I understood (you'd eventually get one), but who knows.
I didn't wnat to take a chance.
I'm sorry, you are the one that's working under an incorrect assumption.
You ASSUME you'll be able to BUY a Kindle2. ;-)
The Kindle 1 was almost never in stock...and I looked often.
It was always on a pre-order basis.
You guys scare me....Canadians I mean.
90% of you live within 10 miles of our border.
Are you guys getting ready to invade?
That assumes that some of us won't cut down trees just for the fun of it.
You're speaking with someone who lit a tire on Earth Day just because it pissed off the hippies in the neighborhood.
He meant the $290...not the 28K.
Wow, you're really old.
Hey Grandpa, tell me about when you used to have trays of punch cards... ;-)
You mean on all those old, re-formatted AOL disks?
HAHAHA
