Before everyone sends in their PS2 failure stories - I'm still using the one I got on launch day. I've only had a couple of DVD's act odd in it - but apart from probably needing 7 years of dust blown out of it - it's working fine. I think Bioshock and Portal look great - but my neighbor is on his second 360 in it's first 6 months. My theory is that the whole design is faulty from a heat standpoint. Until I see the box change shape dramatically I don't think this problem will end soon. I've owned a g5 power-mac. Those things run hotter than hell.
Ok - here's an easy one. Neurological disorders. Any cured? I'm not talking maintenance meds to arrest symptoms for a normal life, I'm talking cured. Any? Just one. Any one at all?
Seems that for something that's had hard science applied to it for as many decades, ONE - just ONE would be "cured".
Xanic and Panic disorders is a nice canard. Neither existed without the other. Of course no one has seriously stopped to consider if "Anxiety" might be a symptom of something larger. Not when there's a pill to "treat" it of course.
Example - see Panic Disorders. This "symptom" of stress, exaustion and other problems was reclassifed as a disease shortly after Xanix came on the market. It's a symptom repackaged as a disease for the latest marketing push. There's plenty more where that came from of course.
But thanks for trying to defend the biggest straw-man of the 20th century. Every little bit helps the stockholders.
And it's news that the Pharms would prefer to treat the symptoms rather than cure a disease? There's no money in cures. But keeping people buying pills to treat symptoms - or better yet - reclassifying symptoms as new diseases. Now you're talkin' the shareholder's language baby!
Otherwise it's all just an order for another box of a half-dozen duh's. To go.
So, Google doesn't want to hire Microsofties and apparently any other adults from any other area (no sense providing jobs in their own backyard - it's Microsoft or nothing). But young minds! Ah - there's an angle! Not since a group in Oakland made people drink the kool aid have I heard anything more insane. Perhaps they found out that the people in their own backyard are tired of Google thinking themselves as so self-important that there's better jobs to be had.
Of course - Google can't be to blame. Bring on the kids.
re:"The world is not out there to conform to your lifestyle"
This is why you're a slave. I have my own business. It conforms to whatever I fucking want. You're a sad pathetic wretch. Please don't tell me you're breeding as well. That would be sad.
To those who know design - no it doesn't. To the people that hire designers? Yes it does. Welcome to the real world. Here's a fun thing to do. Explain typography to them. The blank stares should be worth a lunchtime of laughs.
Bright and shiney shit sells. I'd love to do more - but I have this aversion to starving. Food - what a fucking luxury huh?
No online Multiplayer. We know that the Wii has wifi built in but Nintendo's a bunch of pussies and won't let johhny get tainted by online smack talk. Metroid Prime=Faux FPS - or crippleware. Take your pick.
To those ready to post "redundant" I'll have you know that there were only two posts before I hit submit and neither had anything to do with chairs. Then everyone fucking posted chair-related jokes all at the same exact time. About 8 in the space of 30 seconds. So ease the fuck up please. At least I wasn't trying "first post" for chrissake.
Geeze... religious asshats have degraded and debased itself constantly with apologists at the wheel... Athiesm and skepticism - when you constantly bash it, you show (1) How afraid of it you are and (2) Give it more validation than discredit because of item (1). Get off you anti-free-thinking kick and stick to new that matters....
I did think about the abused children - that's why I purchased "child beating credits". Now I can beat my kids all I want - and put money tword helping other kids not get beaten by the "child beating global relief fund". While my toddler shows his welts to his classmates at school, some 3rd world child will sleep like an angel.
Consider child beating credits won't you? For a better world, please do.
If they decide to enter the ultra-portable computer market ala OQO and others, it will not - ever - be called "Newton". No-way, nada, snowball in hell has a better chance.
Why?
Oh - I don't know - apart from the fact that that project was the darling of the very man WHO HELPED OUSTER JOBS IN 1985. But as we all know - Steve Jobs wouldn't dare knee-jerk product decision based on grudges or personal feelings. Naw. Never. Pay it no mind.

I'm shocked.

What flavor kool aid will go down this time?
Your quote isn't from the 80s dumbfuck. It's from "Triumph of the Nerds" a PBS series done in the 90s when Steve Jobs was at NeXT.
But since you're a breeding mouthbreathing god believing asshole I expect all of this to sail right over your fucking scalp.
re:"Me? I dropped IT given my first opportunity and have yet to look back."
And yet - you're still posting here.
You're so full of shit your eyes are brown.
All humans suck shit. There - that was easy eh? I should do this for a fucking living.

The Danes call them "Magical Elves".
Same theory pretty much. Let me know when they're around again because I need some cookies from those fuckers in the goddamn tree.

And then he threw a chair at her.
BIFFFFfff!
But can you teach my grandmother to suck eggs?

re:""unsurprising given that this administration has continually thwarted efforts by Congress to shed more light on the surveillance program.""
Should read "unsurprising given that this administration is aware that the Democrats in Congress are a bunch of spineless pussies".
There you go.
How did you get your spyware on your computer? I mean - you WANTED IT right? Otherwise you wouldn't have downloaded it right?
Windows XP users must love Spyware aLOT. It's fucking everywhere!
I like my closed phone. It resembles your wife's vagina.
I take that back - a dial for cyber sex makes sense.
Only two things wrong with your list.
1. Google
2. Google
Doesn't charge, still is the prime mover for "search". You're as astute as a rock.
You're now free to spin your argument like a waffling racist Bill O'Reily.
Push button jobs: Your computer keyboard - unless yours has dials in which case you have my deepest sympathies. Robotic maids: Roombas.
Flying cars are a little trickier - but the jetpacks are coming along nicely - check out the flight times on the T-73 : http://www.jetpackinternational.com/equip.html
And remember - when being pursued by the police, it helps to be aware that they don't know what roof you're going to land on.
