Comment 3 for me (Score 1) 674

I use 3 languages pretty much every day. I'm Faroese, so I use that online when talking to family and friends back home. I live in Denmark, so I speak Danish whenever I leave the house. My girlfriend is Dutch, but I never learned that (lived in the Netherlands for a year), so we speak English at home. I understand a few other languages, but can't speak and write them.

I like the glossy screen on my 17" laptop, but that is strictly used as an indoor computer, since I find it cumbersome to drag around from place to place. The non-glossy finish on my netbook however is sublime for outdoor activities.

I dunno... I kinda like non-essential products in general.. lol

My point though is that you yourself are responsible for the health of your children. In this case, common sense should be used before trying to drag the law into it.

On another note, I believe people who honestly can stomach McD deserve a toy :p

I'm sorry, but I just have to disagree with that. They cater to a marketplace filled with lazy parents that have no idea - or frankly just don't care - about the long-term health risks this particular kind of food can have on their children. It's the same with drugs (in my opinion). If there was no demand for drugs, we would have no drug dealers. I think the only thing there is no demand for which we have in abundance is... taxes.

Gut an old mouse and glue the components to the bottom of your keyboard. Make a little hole in the top of the keyboard for the scroll wheel. Put little non-sticky pads on each corner of the keyboard, and voila!! All the buttons you could possibly want on your brand new SUPER MOUSE OF DOOM!

The only kids that will get fat from happy meals are the ones which are taken to McD by their parents. How does taking away the toy help? "No sweety, they don't have the meal with the toys anymore, but you can have the big McTasty instead"... Educate the parents, for f***s sake. McD only delivers because there is a demand. Get rid of the demand, problem solved.

Comment Options? (Score 1) 1213

On this particular machine I don't really have an option. The only "upgrade" option for XP available to me is to remove it from the system and go over to 100% Linux. My hardware doesn't deal well with Vista/Win7, and Microsoft doesn't want to give me an usable alternative. So XP/Linux dualboot will be staying intact for at least a couple more years.
