'Converse' is a different word than 'conversely'. They mean different things. Since you're advocating learning words, I'd advise you to learn what 'condescending' and 'douchebag' mean but you probably already know those ones, they're easy.

Your idea of what is truly usable must be astonishingly preschool.

But let's not allow that to get in the way of a good old circle jerk of Microsoft hate.

Can you install Yellow Dog on your latest Mac Pro?

Why did you even consider this? What did you expect from a consumer-grade cellular phone? Honestly?

It's kind of funny how many people assume the Pro has an ARM and it's an overpriced premium iPad competitor. I'd love to get one, or something similar, but can't justify the price. =) Of any of them.

I finally got to see this late last year and it was worth the wait, excellent documentary.

It's a term that's come into use to describe an effect. If you go by the dictionary term of pollution, no, you are correct, taken literally 'light pollution' does not exist. But the phenomena the term is associated with does. So call it whatever you like, if it makes you feel better about the dictionary's feelings.

Or it could be, yknow, people just don't want to shell out for a night at the movies anymore.

This is how things like Skynet get started.

Well, you know, it's like Rasputin. Poisoned, shot, beaten and drowned. Gotta make sure it stays dead.

Calling Android users 'switching to Linux' is like calling casual Angry Birds and Candy Crush players 'gamers'.

As simplistic as that is, it's almost right. I'm still on Windows due to one thing only: I'm a hopeless World of Tanks addict who has to suffer ATI Linux drivers. If that shit was cleared up, done and done I'd have a KDE Linux as my only OS.

Quite apart from all this wonderful science being thrown around, which is quite beyond poor old me, would there even be enough waste water being left by the rockets to account for these vasty high clouds? They're very small things, comparatively. And as slew mentions, if it were airplane contrails, there's a lot more air traffic than surface-to-space.

Metro alone makes it a disaster? I haven't added any Start Menu mods or done anything to enhance my perceived usability of Win8 yet somehow I only ever manage to see Metro once during a session, on startup. Does half a second of visible Metro ruin peoples' days that much that it swings it from 'Win7 with improvements' right to full-blown 'disaster'?
