This is religious satire. More kids need to be exposed to religious satire.

Okay, I'm calling your story.

When did you your Toshiba i5 and what are its exact specs?

Because Apple only has a few product lines and each price change is widely announced, we ought to be able EXACTLY how much the equivalent MBP cost. I doubt it it was $2500.

You obviously missed the point.

No one knows how many women Cain hit on or otherwise made unwelcome sexual advances upon. Calling him a racist for the profile of the women stepping forward is just as absurd as calling those women racist for being offended at being groped by a black man.

OR maybe the black women he hit on went along with it.

OR maybe black women shot him down and didn't think twice about it.

The only thing here we know for a fact is that 100% of the women who were offended enough by Herman Cain making a pass to complain or hold something against him (justified or not) for an extended length of time for hitting on them them were white. Maybe this is about how racist the women who are stepping forward are.

Go Meg, Go!

Why was this marked as troll?

This solves one problem only once. Then the portfolios passes to the next person and the problem repeats itself.

To solve the general problem, we need to encourage more ridiculous patent trolls. This needs to get to a critical threshold where the entire system is brought on trial and exposed for the absolute absurdity that it is.

I used FF and Chrome in parallel for a while until about a year ago, when I realized that I had almost completely switched to Chrome.

By this time, I had cut down my FF install to nearly the bare bones minimum. FF's strongest selling point, it's extensibility, was what was causing me most of my headaches.

Don't get me wrong. Chrome has a certain Apple attitude about things - Our Way is the Right Way. I've filed a lot of issue reports, usually over a lost feature in an update, only to be told that, no, that's the way it's supposed to be. I just got one back yesterday. Can't reorder the home/most visited screen anymore. I can delete any thumbnail to have the eight (and only eight) that I want on screen, so this is in fact NOT technically a "most visited" screen, but I can't have them in the order that I want them? I mind this much less than bizarre behavior in FF.

Pretty much.

I've been dragged to the actual ceremony a couple times over the past couple years. A bunch of guys in funny hats and completely undeveloped senses of humor and timing = fucking boring. The timer girl wasn't funny the first time and it's not funny the fiftieth time.

The actual papers winning the prizes are often amusing. The presentation and the ceremony itself is not.

It was better Hannibal wrote these articles.

Inevitability is the narrowing influence of the God of the gaps. Inevitability is that these people eventually ending up on the wrong side of history.

It frustrates me to no end to see how much drag these people create.

At least that's what I thought when I saw "Meg Whitman" and "HP."

In the CEO world, you can't fail down. Only upwards or sideways.

Don't get me wrong, I fully approve of cute, red-haired greasemonkies & engineers. (What is it about geeks and redheads?)

Chinese this, Chinese that and main cast is five white characters, a Magical Negro, a Gina Torres and a Morena Baccarin (Ethnicity: Smoking Hot).

I'm one of the geeks who didn't really like Firefly. It drops pretty far into the uncanny valley for me.

Chinese is one of the things they got sorta right, then failed on. Ah, so the Chinese culture is so commonplace that Chinese words are sprinkled throughout everyone's lexicon and elements of Chinese culture are everywhere.

So, uhm, where are the Chinese characters?

Look, I understand the inherent limitations of network television and all that goes into casting a prime time show. There's a lot more white actors in Hollywood and if Fox doesn't want to take a risk, it's their money. The problem here is that Mr. Whedon is trying to sell me something that he can't actually produce. It's a visual medium. I can SEE that there aren't any Chinese on screen.

Every ten minutes, Joss opened another can of worms.

Bro, your geek card needs to be suspended for a week if that's a head-scratcher.
