So noble and courageous of you to come forward and speak out about your horrible medical condition.

If I had essentially unlimited wealth and didn't have to work another day in my life, or in Larry's case, a hundred lifetimes, if could pay for any medical procedure out of my pocket, and if could pay for an army of lawyers with my yearly dinner money, I wouldn't care what people knew about me either.

Oh geez, Windows could be easily crapped up,in,and out by background applications for a decade before iTunes came out.

I hate apple products as much as the next guy...

Hey! I'm the next guy and I happen to like Apple products. You're looking for the previous guy. He's the one who detests everything Apple.

I wish I could mod this up to 50:Sensible.

Noone is forcing these people to buy the new xbox. Dont buy it. Simple concept, isnt it?

OMG, there's going to be KAOS!

she got fired for rocking the boar.

Now is that the same thing as 'porking'?

If all she does is "simple web browsing, email, light photo sharing but no heavy editing, and other simple tasks" then a tablet would fit her needs perfectly, as long as she also gets a keyboard for it. Those virtual keyboards become an act of miserable frustration if you need to type anything more than a couple short sentences.

....it was certainly much more fun, innovative, imaginative, and technological advances were made in leaps and bounds back then. The internet is far more useful nowadays, but it's like the magic and excitement is gone. It's become toned-down, it's become a utility,and utilities are boring.

Remember when:
-the first time you heard about a new application called RealAudio that would allow you to stream audio from a remote server, even over a dialup connection? No more waiting to download the entire clip. This new streaming thing was frikking amazing!
-the first time you went to 'The William Shatner sing-along page'?
-you heard about an audio file format called mp3 that could hold an entire song in in a few MB's instead of a few dozen? 3MB per file vs 20 or 30MB and still have the same quality! That was amazing!
-WinNuke was the worst thing someone could do to your computer, and you weren't sent to jail for using it. There was no constant threat about getting malware, trojans, or viruses from websites.
-Doubleclick did not exist? Sites did not collect and retain and sell your browsing habits.
-the term 'hacker' did not hold any negative connotation?
-Flash sites were new, amazing, and didn't use 100% of your CPU?
-chat rooms and web forums were TROLL-FREE? People were actually nice and considerate to each other!
-one of the first online multiplayer game you played was Descent thru KALI?
-you could actually get a refund for software?
-you regularly browsed Rotten.com?

....coffee is good for us again? Or maybe at least until next week, when the media sensationalizes some stupid study that shows drinking ten or more cups of coffee a day increases our 1 in 10^8 chance of developing some condition by 10%.

it couldn't be worse than episodes 1 and 2.

Or episode 3-that one was hardly a a masterpiece.
As powerful as the Jedi were portrayed in previous films, episode three finally revealed that Han wasn't joking when he said 'Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side", and it contained lines that included "youngins", "you were our chosen one", and the fan favorite "Noooooooooooooooooooooo!"

IANAV, but I would guess that a 30cm bore hole wouldn't have much of an effect on a magma chamber that is miles wide.

OMG so many of these posts are hilarious. Well done people! I haven't laughed like this on SD for ages.

This is horrible, but thankfully the culprits didn't get access to our Strategic Reserves for Poutine, Kraft Dinner, butter tarts, and bagged milk.

What are you talking about? I just scrolled through the scribd link you presented and it's plain-as-day that the majority of pictures are doctored. Page36:the ipad is photographed at an angle to make it match the Galaxy's aspect ratio. Ditto on page 39.

I use Macs but the OP is making a valid post. OSX aside, in terms of hardware you pay much more for less when you get a Mac. No eSATA and no USB3? For the premium you pay for a Mac those should be expected. Sure, Thunderbolt can replace those technologies, but it will be years until TB becomes a ubiquitous connection so until then you will be stuck with slow USB2, unless you want to buy overpriced Apple peripherals from the Apple store.

I'm simply getting sick of paying the 40% mac-tax on slightly-better-than-average hardware just for the privilege of using OSX.
