Some of us get our power from giant french perpetual motion machines that we built from specs on the internet in our back yards. Not like I would expect you to understand. It seems I am clearly without an intellectual equal on this site.

Dude, if this means no more streams of gold invites when I don't want them I'll just be crushed. What will I di with myself if half my facebook experience doesn't involve disabling requests from apps my friends use?

On a side note: people still use Facebook?

In regard to your sig, it's "baseball bat", not "baseball club". Have a nice day.

Not only that, but the speed of light is approximately 186k miles per second! Coincidence?

Translation: I'm upset that people are still using Java, when Flash is clearly a superior platform.

This is why software companies should never be run by business guys.

Or Wingz. I remember using Wingz on IBM RISC work stations at the University. It was great.

I still say they should bring back Windows CEMENT. Now there was an operating system.
