I think the desktop PC will have a niche in the market for a long time because people like them. They have a good number of micro-itx systems and even the Raspberry Pi that can replace some systems and not cause as much clutter, but there is a definite time and place where a desktop has no replacement.

Comment Too old? (Score 1) 418

One thing that I've learned in my 27 years is that there are a good number of older people who pick up things even young men and women can't because of the fact that they've seen so many different things in their lifetime. The question isn't are you too young or too old to better yourself, the question is are you willing to better yourself. People said there was no hope for me. They said I'd always be a drunken fool, but I don't get drunk now because I feel as though I've been delivered from it. It's true that I have other problems that were more than likely the root of that, but if you are willing to learn and move forward,you will. They tell alzheimers patients that it's important to do mathematics, read, and even try to learn new skills. Much like it's important for me to move forward, occupying myself with less things that have to do with the problem and more things that have to do with the solution. It's rare that someone learn a new skill or even behavior in one day. The willingness to do so is far more important.

Pretty sure a good number of people are biting their words about Mr. Gates some right now. I want the best for him. I'm glad he is giving so much to these charities. He caught some flack for doing research about toilets, even from me. Lol, anyway, I think it's a good thing for him. There are a lot of preachers over here who think giving penance is a bad thing, and it can be at times. But think about it this way, Jesus told a rich man once to give it all away and leave it behind. They omitted the apocrypha for this from our Bibles, and because people prayed for the dead, when in Revelations it clearly says in the first chapter that you should not fear because He has the keys to Hades and death, etc. The main reason many people left wasn't even because of that exactly. It was because they were being mistreated in general, and they felt as though they should blame the pope. And there were horrible people who would simply give a chunk here and there and go out and do a bunch more terrible stuff, and they thought that was alright. I think it's good for Mr. Gates, indeed. No, I don't think all rich men will go to hell, but it does say that it's harder for a rich man to enter into paradise than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle. Why? Money is just like crack. Give some more away.

In the Bible, it calls that guy the antichrist, and there are many false prophets. Many people thought hitler was and people think the world is going to end this year because of the mayan calendar, even Christians. Do you know what the mayans did? Sacrificed children to false gods. Why would a Christian believe this when Jesus said we didn't know the day or the hour. At any rate, the signs that the good Lord will be back really are around us, and I'm glad that Google does what it does, even if they are monopolizing in an area. They should stick to those guns, and they should definitely try to inform their users of tunnels and things like tor because the truth should definitely be told, people should be educated, and I think that's why you fear this so much.

This is yet another sign of Jesus's return to this world. I understand why people are skeptical, but it says things like this will happen in the Bible. And, people have been saying He will return for a good number of years now. As much as the people that write those history books lie to us because they are under false impressions themselves just like you and I are at times, I doubt it was even 2000 years ago that He resurrected. Also, Islam is a serious problem because it teaches them to kill each other and use brutal punishment like chopping people's hands off. Yea, I've hurt someone too. Who hasn't? We crucify each other and our children with neglect because we are expected to go up to the meat grinder everyday and work for nickels that will never make ends meet, paid to us by people who, at times, do what they do to try to help you and have advocates who write letters and even protest things to get you the things you need and we never make it right because we're too busy to actually help anyone half the time, which is partially a damn excuse. And do not judge me for using the word damn because in the Bible in the book of Isaiah, it says the word piss, and people teach their children never to curse. It's acceptable when it's called for. And no, I'm not Jesus man. I'm learning how to do more for myself and what I'm supposed to do day by day, just like we all should be.

Someone listened to the folk that wrote letters about their cloud player blocking you from downloading more than one track at a time from what it sounds like. I wrote them a respectful letter about how it's persecutory for them to do so when you have a good number of people running older hardware made from spare parts they found or got sent to them in areas where they are oppressed and can't afford to upgrade to Windows 7, nor would anyone hear them if they asked. There's people like that, even in the United States.Not really a fan of keeping up with the Hendersons or whatever, but there's some people who think they are primates trying to keep up with my family right now as weird as that sounds, especially coming from me. And that's why, I stood up for people, even when I wasn't in the right and didn't exactly see eye to eye with them or even go about it the right way. My grandfather worked all of his life to provide for my family, and even though I don't always see eye to eye with her I embarked on a little project to make her life easier because after I die or move off to another state, another country, or Jesus returns, if she outlives me and she may, she will have a more energy efficient house. Why? Because I did her wrong in my early adulthood, and I believe in paying people back. I've got a few others on my list, but I did her the most wrong trying to get back at her that she probably didn't completely understand.

Man, I've seen it all in my life. And I have been stoned, literally and metaphorically. Definitely not right. I may have done some plain out heinous, God awful things, but I wanted them to die quick without feeling it. That crap sucks. I never shot anybody or stoned anybody but too much booz is the same thing. There's a few people whose deaths I may be responsible for but not entirely on all of them. At any rate, having survived all this cruel and usual crap that I did to me, people did to me, and I did to people, minus throwing rocks or shooting bullets, I am going to be so frank with you right now it might scare most church going people a little bit. Whacking somebody whether you really meant to or not or whether you wanted it to be fast or real slow and painful, I've thought about both, does not feel good on you in the long run. They are going to feel so much guilt over this, and they will know who God is and it's not Allah. It's Jesus Christ.

To the poster we may have stolen each others. They were already robbing us with oil anyway. I already plucked somebody's eye out over that one, and it didn't feel good at all. Don't chop their hands off for being Islamic hypocrites.
