Right, because the US government has *always* being in hands of responsible adults...

Then why is the USA the only country using indirect elections? Every other modern country that used it at some point has switched to direct elections.

No point visiting anywhere since you can do video conferences tailored to particular elector types, rather than regions.

Imagine a virtual town hall meeting of just nerds, or just single mothers, or just asian-americans. etc.

This is correct. The whole indirect voting systems like the US Electoral College were created to deal with the logistical problems of giving every citizen the vote.

In this day and age, the only purpose of indirect elections is to give undue weight to rural areas.

Your sentence no verb.

Google "how to refill toner cartridge" with your Printer model. Buy toner in bulk.

Buy a cheap laser. Xerox, Brother and HP make cheap laser printers that explicitly support Linux.

Xerox printers, if I remember correctly, even have a little Tux decal on the _front_ of the machine, next to the Windows and Apple logos.

Where I live, people will refill your toner cartridges for about $8 USD

I stand corrected. I actually ordered today. :)

I truly believed that they would not be offering the phone anymore.

As posted above, Android 4.2 has exactly that. You can log in into your phone as two different users and have work and play perfectly separated.

Not to mention roleplaying games, cosplay and anime communities. A lot of good discussions too.

4) Several of my geek niches, namely Tabletop Roleplaying Games, Linux and Android, have huge communities in Google+

Exactly, you _can't_ buy it.

The Nexus 7 I agree, but... Where can you buy a frikkin Nexus 4 for $300usd?

If at least one of those was the least bit successful, your argument would be a little bit less ridiculous.
