The question suggests that something is keeping me on Windows assumes that i'd want to use anything else. i do not.

The reason i don't go Mac is that i am not a girl, nor do i wish to be. i don't want to pay extra for a gimped product. It's been a long time since i associated my own worth with the markings on my stuff.

i would go to linux if and only if linux caught up with Windows in terms of offerings/compatibility with hard/software. It COULD be caught up if they'd stop working on the distros and get ONE of them right.

But the Facebook API is what makes me dread going to my Facebook account. No one on G+ has told me about getting a new calf or asked me to join their gang. My G+ page is just me, my friends and Wil Wheaton (oh and Felicia Day).

Answer: No.

Lots of posts in this thread aren't getting what Nerd means. It does NOT mean smart or expert. It means smart and expert to/with the exclusion of social skills. If you're grandpa was a gear head, he was a gear head, not a car nerd. To be a car nerd would be either that he chose to learn about cars instead of girls and friends (beyond other nerds).

Geekdom is something else.

Can we PLEASE let the question headline meme die the painful death it deserves?

How did they not see that coming? It's name is Lemon!

wRong Paul says many things. 95% of them are nonsense. This might be one of the few nuts that blind squirrel has stumbled upon.

Is "bringed" idiot for brought?

i refuse to consent to the law that says i shouldn't kill you. It was made w/o my consent, so it does not apply to me. Also, i want to fuck that girl over there. She 16, i'm 36 and she isn't interested. But since i didn't get a vote on the laws against rape, so they don't apply to me.

You must be twelve. Your consent is not needed. If every law required the consent of those under those laws we'd have anarchy because very few people have the sense to see that laws are the social contract that make civilization possible. To have the right to live, you give up the right kill. That's the deal. The grown up and non-idiots among us set those rules. You're welcome to live in the woods, in prison, on an island or to kill yourself. If you're going to be around other people you gotta take the limitations that come with it. We call them laws.

One of these laws is that you can't drive your car as fast as you please because doing so poses a risk to people who DID NOT CONSENT to having their lives jeopardized by assholes. Their right to get where they are going safely overrides your childish desire to live out your teen fantasies of being a race car driver.

Remember kids:

It's your right to break the laws that annoy you!

Perhaps they meant instantly on the human scale and found it unnecessary to use pedant proof language.

Calling Copyright Infringement is propaganda... an attempt to make file sharing worse than it really is. Every time one of us calls copyright infringement piracy we are playing into their hands. Language is the operating system of thought. So YES is DOES matter what words we use and how we use them.

Piracy is ship to ship armed robbery, murder and kidnapping. Downloading a CD is NOTHING like that. It's closer to Data Shoplifting. /Descriptivist idiot offering sophomoric "but but but languages change LOOOLlOoaOoLLO1LO!!!11!" in 3... 2... 1....

Most life is sentient, it's how they find mates, find food and avoid danger. While finding any life would be impressive, it's sapient life that would really blow our minds.
