But, apparently, enough of the other 97% still click the link.

We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon.

Sorry, couldn't resist. One of my all-time favorite quotes. :-)

Someone tell me their thesis was rejected...

Fuck you.

Stated so confidently.

You're obviously an agent of the government. :-P

Agreed. Quite fetching, in my opinion.

Not much of a solution.

Trust the opinion of no one who is earning a commission on what you wish to buy.

Please.

Short/narrow sighted thinking like this is what brought us the ADA and Jarod's law. You can't accommodate every specific need in every situation.

If there's a passion for something, it will happen. I'd prefer to see the app written or the function implemented WITHOUT the specialized features than to have it not done at all.

Not that it isn't important, but if a need exists, a solution will be found. If the need is so tiny (compared to the whole) that it has not been addressed, then evangelize a solution that doesn't penalize the majority.

Or do it your damn self.

The doubt still doesn't exist, only it's certainty manifested as denial...

Shush - reason and understanding are not permitted here.

Don't be a presumptuous shit. I live 40 miles from work because:

1) I couldn't unload my house even if tried to give it away (no jobs, depressed job market)
2) If I moved closer to work, I'd be compelled to send my kids to private schools because the public system is crap (big bucks).
3) The difference in taxes between my rural home an a more urban/suburban house nearly pays for my annual increase in gas (my car gets 37+mpg).
4) I have a side business that requires more acreage than the typical urban slice of hell (additional income).
5) Moving closer to work would mean higher population density, which means an increased risk of living next to a hipster shit like you.

Telecommuting, while being discussed, isn't necessarily a viable solution for my situation (Even in the "sticks", I have a slow DSL connection).

Personally, I enjoy urban living and would gladly live closer to work as an individual. But, in the near term, I'm making personal (and negligible environmental) sacrifices to keep my family in a more peaceable and positive environment (not spoken as a homeschooler religious wackjob, either).

Exactly; I'll believe it when I see it (might have to go look soon, just to satisfy my masochistic side).

A jury is made up of 12 people too dumb or too lazy to get out of jury duty...

*stunned silence*

That's an option?
