Personally I carry both a watch and a cell phone at all times and always end up checking the phone for time instead of the watch. When I'm not on the move I usually just check the computer because it's much closer to hand than either the watch or the phone.

So...why the watch?

Comment Who would use this? (Score 1) 664

I don't see myself using this type of "OS" anytime soon, and I imagine a lot of other people are in the same boat. Who would use this? I guess schools would be a good candidate. It seems like they could use lower quality hardware, and most schools have awesome internet connections.

As if there is some assumption that only bright educated people can govern?

What, you prefer that the dimwitted and ignorant be in charge? What a utopia that would be. If we are talking about a republic, then yes I definitely want my representatives to be intelligent and well educated (now, if only that could be arranged...).

Relativity actually says that all things with a real mass must go slower than the speed of light, all things with zero mass must go at the speed of light, and all things with imaginary mass must go faster than the speed of light. Your guess is as good as mine on how to get things with imaginary mass, though.

Well, it is just basic 23rd century physics...tachyons (which would actually be a cool name for a band, if the lead singer was bald and had a cool British accent). If you insist on crude 21st century science, then tachyons are a largely defunct theoretical construct, though I do believe some variants of string theory suggest they exist.

Fourth: I presented a fact that debunks this statement: "I have yet to find one that lasts longer than 5"

I would say that comment contributes something useful.

You didn't debunk anything. So you have an 8 year old CD, how does that imply anything about the original commenter's bad luck with CDs?
