Maybe because their search history engine sucks, and I need to be able to research and search through my amazon transactions using google, or outlook. If they disabled it I would go back to newegg for a lot of my amazon transactions because I like having a textual email reciept for all of my vendor transactions.

Want to buy office 2013 and put it on a customers computer? Good freaking luck. Your required to bind it to your account. You can no longer just type in the code, and get their software working for them.

I have 3 copies sitting on my desk, not sure what I want to do with them, but for now I'll buy an older version of office, or tell people they will need to buy it themselves. I really really don't want to go through setting up a microsoft account for them, or getting the password to an existing one.

Microsoft just fucked a bunch of independents from doing the right thing and buying their software, and installing it for customers. I'm sure they don't give a crap because they only care about MSP's or whatever, but I'm not big enough to mess with doing all that partner crap.

So I was watching a hot rod video yesterday with my son. These two guys rented a Lambo and a hot rod. What they were surprised at, and what I was surprised at was that women were much more interested and gravitated to the hot rod over the Lambo, and men were more interested in the Lambo than the hot rod. We had a discussion in the house about it and decided that it was because men were interested in the engineering, power, and general sexyness of the lambo, and the women were interested in the ruggedness, artistic nature, and individuality of the hot rod. Also my wife said the guy with the Lambo probably has a small penis, but that's out of the context of this conversation.

Here's the video.

Am I the only one that things genetics, and the way our brains work has some angle on this? I mean, just watching my kids grow up you can give my son a stick and it's a gun, a bat, or he will combine the sticks with other sticks to build a fort. Give my girls a stick and they will break it and make candles for a cake they made out of sand. Granted the girls are willing to sword fight with the stick too, but they don't hold the long term interest in it that my son will.

Sexual tendencies don't mean sexual discrimination. Personally I'm hoping my girls will go into some sort of higher education type field, but if they are happy in life to be a mom and raise great children then who the fuck am I to get in the way of that dream.

We have a play room for my son and two daughters, who are only a 3 year spread apart. I try to teach my girls building and whatnot, but they will straight up take the Lincoln logs and make a cake out of them, or cookies. My littlest girl does nothing but talk about being a mommy to every doll, stuffed animal, or whatever. It's not like there isn't at least some genetic angle on this.

With that being said my girls are very creative with drawing, and enjoy building sand castles, and whatnot. But my son gravitates to trying to take my drills and hammers and do stuff.
