That's not how you should correct issues.

More fun if you do Windows coding for a living, to do Atmel assembly coding for fun. Not coding against an unfriendly API (like Windows) really is fun. And if you happen to sell your for-fun code, it looks dissimilar enough to work code for your employer not to take an interest.

I read that as he wanted to uglify Windows. Of course, Ballmer's already BTDT. And trying to pick the prettiest Windows ever is like picking the tastiest catshit.

Your last sentence is the answer, I think. "You don't know how to make healthy food that tastes and feels good" - well, it is harder and more time consuming to do it than to nuke another processed meal, but it is possible. Eventually you'll end up making healthy food you like more than the processed stuff.

Not so much for me, I never feel less like eating than after gym sessions. Which is a problem because I typpically have plummeting BGL for the hours following. Grrr. More insulin tweaking.

We can't put airplanes in the cloud!

And in Australia. What of it? It's called Panadeine. (or a slew of generic names)

That's a fun argument. I often travel with a external hard drive in my laptop bag, there's lots of space in it for c4, and is security going to ask me to power it up? Ok, take MBP out, plug it in, plug drive in, it works, and we still haven't proved anything. If there's even a few people have to do this, the queue will grow, flights will get missed, baggage will have to be removed for those missing flights, flights will get delayed. All for something that's never happened? At some point, you have to accept that you're reacting to symptoms rather than causes.

Oi! Some of us predate LS

Hmmm, Hey Googlecar, just drive around for 20min while we have some fun on the backseat.

If you know you're being tested, that could invalidate the results. Sure that's cold, but it's also reality.

1 million Slashdot readers go and peruse the diffs for shits and giggles.

Boomerang delivery! Um, no wait a minute.

I'm sure Scott Adams will have a strip next week on it.
