Comment Re:Tax (Score 1) 534

My anecdotal evidence: I have bought 6 desktop and 5 laptop Macs over the years for myself and children. One laptop gave up the ghost and wouldn't boot after 12 years. None of the other Macs stopped working. I had to discard some which just got left behind by the technology, like my MacPlus and the LC and the G3.
The first one I ever bought was the LC. I picked up the MacPlus at a secondhand store for $5, and it worked for several years before I had to let it go.
I have taken desktops and laptops in for repairs, but these things just won't die.

Comment I just saw his FB page (Score 4, Funny) 228

Zuck announced that Saudia Arabia has demanded that he cut his hand off for stealing the idea of Facebook. China wants him to shoot himself in the head and send them the price of the bullet for monopolizing their national social media. ISIS demanded that he cut his own head off, just because. Thailand is suing him for war crimes for letting their King be ridiculed on Facebook. Alabama is sending sheriff's deputies to arrest him because a state legislature saw the edge of a nipple on some random teenager's profile picture.

Comment Grit is overrated (Score 2) 249

It took me many years to realize that laziness was the best quality a person could have. A lazy person invented the shovel while the gritty geterdoners were still digging with their hands. A lazy person invented the backhoe when the industrious were busy digging with their shovels. A lazy person invented the automobile when their hard working neighbors were grooming their horses.
