Wooosh!

Exactly!

You wouldn't BELIEVE how many artisans and makers were involved in the building of my computer. It may have cost around $60,000, but worth every AMERICAN penny!

(I do sincerely agree with your post)

I do love me some "horizontal gene transfer", if ya know what I mean. *wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge*

Looks like someone still prints on analog paper. Get with the times!

Will you be here all week?! What dish should I try?

P.S., am I the only one who is uncomfortable with the term "dongle"?

No.

I'm guessing "Head MotherFucker In Charge". Bringing the "HNIC" term from the movie Lean On Me (at least the first time I heard it..) into a racially and politically correct format (I'm assuming the CEO of VZW is not an African-American).

They're only slightly annoyed by the > 8 minute latency.

I couldn't agree more. I personally do not care for Apple products for the same reasons many around here often cite.

However, I think they have their place. When a friend or acquaintance mentions they got an iPhone, I generally think "Yea, you're probably better off." because they're very simple-minded people when it comes to technology, they don't really know what they want and are content to have things walled up. These are usually the people who would install anything that popped up on Windows; it really is better for them to have a walled garden.

That's irregardless.

Am I the only one who actually spends the time to keep my Start menu organized? I have root categories (Productivity, Utilities, Internet, etc) under which I place all applications. My Programs menu pops out to a starting list of main categories, then branches out into easy to find sub-categories. The first thing I do when I'm at the "Finish" screen of a setup wizard is uncheck the "Run {program x} now" box, go to the desktop to remove any icons it put there and drag its Start Menu group into the appropriate folder.

Sure, I keep 3 programs pinned to the taskbar, but I use the Start menu all the time since I don't want my taskbar or desktop cluttered with shit. Also, I'm a big mouse user and don't want to type what I want to run.

12"? Pssh.

I want my 24" tablet which has a dock with DVI and USB ports, that way I can drop it in have it be the display for my desktop, or plug in my keyborad and mouse for full tablet usage, or take it on the go.

I can see it now, whipping out my 24" tablet in Starbucks..it would be glorious! Who's the alpha hipster now, biatches?!

Have an Acer Iconia Tab a500, read on it all the time via the Kindle app. In fact, I hardly read books at all until I got the tablet, oddly enough.

Plus, since libraries are public funded, this may help to justify them when they run the reports of how many citizens are using their services. Much like someone said in the Comcast thread; I don't personally use public libraries, but for reasons of which I am uncertain, I feel they're important and should stick around.
