It has to be sarcasm. When I was in college, all of the computers in the labs had Iomega Zip drives. They were fast and held a whopping 100mb. By the end of my first semester, everyone I knew was well acquainted with the Click of Death.

Lots of people don't use their computers for doing anything beyond posting on Facebook, tending their FarmVille crops, and watching cute cat video compilations on YouTube.

I can see how ChromeOS would be perfect for many many people.

Winter -> Spring is known as "mud season" here. After the 15 feet of snow melts, it leaves the ground pretty messy.

I believe that I read in the update notes that the new browser is using Flash Lite 3.1, which is like Flash 8 only... lite-er?. At any rate, my first (and only) attempt to load Pandora caused the browser to lock up solid.

The last power consumption comparison I saw showed that the AMD processor consumed 26% more power on average, and a full 50% more power to complete the same benchmark.

Chocolate in what form? chips? a solid brick? syrup? cocoa powder? melted?

Two lbs of sawdust in cups. What type of wood? Birch? Poplar? Maple? Walnut? Sawdust from a chainsaw or a table saw?

You have got to be kidding me. What next? Two lbs of filing cabinets in gallons?

If their vehicles are any indication, the phone will take a beating, but all the most expensive components will require regular replacement under normal use.

...all of my hard work preparing for the zombie invasion will soon pay off.

I usually vote anti-incumbent, but this time around I simply chose not to vote for anyone who was for the bailout... which is almost the same thing anyway.

Of course, this limited my vote for president to 3rd party candidates. In Maine, this means either Nader or a write-in.
