Why are you confusing the magnitude of the speed with how common the speed is? High speed doesn't become slow speed just because most people regularly drive at high speed.

Oleophobic phone screens also object to these false "phobias"... it's not like they have a fear of oil.

Speaking of oil... oil molecules object to being called "hydrophobic"... it's not like they're actually scared of water.

Or maybe you don't understand language very well. I suppose you could go to Merriam-Webster's website and search for "-phobia" and read the fascinating ways this suffix is used in the English language, but that's probably too much trouble.

In Korea, only old people comment on Slashdot.

Supreme Court case Loving v. Virginia which ruled on anti-miscegenation laws... at that time, mixed-race marriage had less popular support than same-sex marriage does now.

Based on your arguments, I am assuming you disagree with Loving v. Virginia and think it was wrong for the court to force acceptance of people of different races marrying each other.

Sometimes you have to do what's right because its right rather than wait for popular opinion to catch up.

Kobo has made a big push internationally where other companies aren't really doing much e-book business.

I joined Kobo when they had about 50 employees and worked there for a year and a half. They had recently spun-off from Chapters/Indigo and renamed themselves from Shortcovers to Kobo.

The Rakuten acquisition happened shortly after I left, but I imagine the only real impact to Kobo is in terms of having more financial backing and maybe it even helps them partner up with different book retailers in different companies.

I can guarantee washing machines aren't on anyone's mind at Kobo HQ.

I'm trying to figure out if you're referring to Shawn of the Dead, and mistakenly thinking that the "Blue Monday" New Order record was a real 5.25" floppy disk.

They were making a valid point about how this would indicate we are not right in the middle of a goldilocks zone, which one would expect if creationism were true.

Then you went crazy. Quote a single word that indicated bigotry? The only hatred I see is in your rant.

Huh?

I have that cart... and I always wanted to get into it but never could. Maybe its because I didnt have the manual and I was always just guessing at what the commands / syntax could be.

I'm from the USA and lived in Canada for a while, now back in the USA again. I've visited UK, Australia, India, China, and Brazil. I think long term however many years down the line I'd like to go back to Canada eventually.

Many models of Color Computer II?

I think there was just one, with maybe a few different options for how much RAM you got.

There were two different looking versions of the original Color Computer though, as I recall, one silver and one beige, with maybe different keyboards. But the Color Computer 2 (roman numerals were for the Apple) looked pretty much like the Color Computer 3.

I can still fire up the ol' Tandy Color Computer 2 and put those 64Ks through their paces with a rousing game of Pooyan, Demon Attack, or Dragonfire.

Such original humor, how do you come up with such gems?

I think MSNBC TV has its offices in 30 Rockefeller Plaza in NYC, but msnbc.com has its offices actually within Microsoft's campus in Redmond WA.

I wonder if they'll have to move out.
