I'm not plugging my 1000 DPI mouse into something that sits between it and my PC. We're trying to reduce input latency, not create it.

I get that they have to remove their music library and have decided to shut down as a result... but why must they hand their software, patents and other IP to the music cartels? Why can't they keep their own stuff and choose to go legit?

Are they trying to rip off a particular web CMS platform that churns out all these hipster sites, or is it just coincidence that they all look the same?

I can't believe they haven't fixed it yet... I've been seeing these in my logs for years.

Not to mention most microcomputers from the 80s only had 64kb of addressable memory, and a good chunk of it was dedicated to ROM space.

Isn't Bluray (or any traditional optical media for that matter) susceptible to melting in a fire? Wouldn't a platter drive survive that better?

We already dealt with one Clinton, it ended in White House oral and impeachment. Honestly though, I don't think we should allow family members of previous presidents to become president themselves. That means Jeb Bush too.

I didn't either, but maybe the name "Lil Bow Wow" will ring a bell. He only got a spot on this show because he's related to Snoop Dogg.

Have they come up with an alternate method of doing pit stops without getting out of the car completely and changing cars mid-race? If not, I'm not interested.
