So my friend has one... He wears down the exact same spot on all his controllers... left thumbstick at 7'oclock. He's just pressing too hard.

However, I am very gentle and precise with mine, and they have suited me well. *HOWEVER* the right thumbstick, when pressed in, is starting to flake out. If I press it to run, a lot of force is needed, or else I will stop running. So that controller is basically useless now.

And of course, I have to say that as for right now, the touchpad is absolutely useless.

I got an iPod shuffle.... I think, in 2005 for a girlfriend. I went to set it up for her, plugged it into my computer. It proceeded to rename a good 200 albums or so into 8character.ext filenames. I've never touched an apple product since.

Because otherwise you'd see the 1 frame marketing ads.

I guess i'm missing the money to purchase something that I can do without! ;-)

So yea... I get the whole "more resolution captain!" Absolutely. Every day all day. But I use a 27" monitor that only does 1920x1200... "Only." That's plenty for work and pleasure - i'm playing the new wolfenstien at that resolution, and its beautiful.

However, I would love some ultra widescreen for more real estate. To me, 4k is just too faddish, and thus too expensive for the poor nerds amongst us to justify purchasing.

And look where we are now. Insanity...

I have one question - how in demand will these jobs be 10 years from now? 10 years after that?

Seems to me as the populations becomes more dependent on others, being a welders, pipe-fitters, electricians, carpenters, machinists and other skilled tradesmen will pay off. But at what point do we become like mexicans *in mexico* who know how to fix everything they need to live? Broken pipe? Dig it up and fix it. Broken car? Take it apart as least as much as possible and fix it. Need to build an extra room or two on your house? Pick up a hammer and some supplies and get to work.

I wish I weren't disabled - someone asked me the other day what is my dream job - living off the land with a few farm animals and growing crops for a family.

EYYYEEEEE ENNN TEEEE Ps?

That's where it's at the...

EYYYEEEEE ENNN TEEEE Pee... eeeeeees

where's my mod points when I need them.. As soon as I read the summary, I went and copy/pasted the quote to post. Gj sir. Great minds and such.

no doubt about it. If you voted for obama, and are now in the middle because you pay attention to what's really going on behind big media, you're probably going to be really ready for what the other party has to offer. Especially when you hear on all news sites about how we're turning into a police state silently but surely.

and how you could never make a dime off it - unless i'm just that out of touch. The only people who made money are the ones that got it for the 26 dollar IPO price, and since everyone has been waiting for the next big google, facebook, etc, they simply bought into it without knowing what twitter really is - an app amongst apps that is used by people who generally don't have a lot of money (under 18 yr olds)

Youtube is now impossible to use... The comments sections have been rendered useless - or about as useless as a wet blanket.

in a sense.

The retardlicans created the patriot act so they could do "this and that," but now that the dummycrats have been using it, the rerardlicans think its bad.

Now, sit back and realize the people making all of these decisions are your elected officials.

If you open a browser at the beginning of the day and don't close it until the end, you're going to run into cases when you wish you didn't close out a particular tab. ctrl-shit-t undo's closing a tab like ctrl-z undos. Pretty cool.
