I bet there are a lot of us not getting OT pay and maybe not giving 100% to our unloyal employers who would off-shore us if they could.

| For all intensive purposes, "whom" is no longer a word. That begs the question, "who cares"?

I think you mean, "For all intents and purposes". Also, that is not the definition of begging the question. I do agree that no one cares about whom anymore.

People signed loans they couldn't afford to pay so the banks are only part of the problem. Also, I don't see how being president allows you to just tell businesses how they must reconfigure the way their customers do business with them.

I put Ubuntu on my girlfriends laptop and she loves it. I downloaded the latest iso. Easily had it partition the drive, set up the boot loader, install the os and the video, network and audio drivers were all installed. Since she wants to watch tv shows online and check email and facebook she has a great environment (I did put in Gnome and let her pick between that and Unity and she picked Gnome) to mess around in and the effort level on a scale of 1 to 10 was a 2. What would BSD have done for me that U11.10 didn't?

Khan is great but the problem is motivation. I love to learn and they have all kinds of topics there that I don't know anything about. In general, most people aren't motivated to learn new things when surfing the web. They would rather look at lolcats or check their farmville plants. I don't think any of my friends or family even know Khan Academy exists let alone visit the site.

The US is full of apathy. Sure there are exceptions but there are too many people who are happy being average or are oblivious to the fact that they are.

I love to watch (grid-iron) football and I love to play. Getting 22 people for an 11 on 11 game of football is hard to do so any version of football I play is incomplete and a pale representation of the game itself. Being able to watch the game the way it was meant to be played by the best players in the world is great entertainment. Playing 3 on 3 or 5 on 5 is a great activity. There is no line that divides playing and watching into 2 sections where you must only choose one.

I feel like this with League of Legends. The top players streaming is a completely different game than when I play. The strategies are very different and the games have a more natural flow to them. When I play as a "baddie" the games are often just a lot of discord.

Beyond that, there are players who don't like each other and sometimes they end up on the same team. It probably wouldn't work if the players were all anonymous and I didn't know who I was watching. Beyond the soap opera and the drama it's a good way to learn and see my deficiencies so then when I do play I have a point of reference to base my play against in an attempt to improve.

I read the article and felt like the author was full of doom and gloom but it seemed exciting to think that bitcoin is a way to hire prostitutes in Vegas. I'm buying my bitcoins now and losing my virginity as soon as the cyber-black market opens!!!!!

That's a good deal. If he wanted your Serra Angels you'd have to get soda and an extra topping.

I know it's over And it never really began But in my heart it was so real
