It's like taking antidepressants. The world just feels too comfortable.'"

Spoken like a person who has never used antidepressants or understands or how they work, or just buys into the nonsensical Scientologist bullshit.

Antidepressants aren't magic happy pills and they aren't some sort of metaphorical rose coloured glasses.

They take the edge off. That's it. They give you the chance to back away from the emotional precipice that you would otherwise jump from. Some are better than others (Paxil sucks for many many people, for example) but properly used, they help people restore their lives from what was a bottomless pit.

Depression is the third leading cause of death. Probably the main cause of preventable death since if you don't kill yourself yourself outright, you tend to not give a shit about "healthy living" and shave 20 years off your lifespan with heart disease and other crap.

This article and summary is crap.

And the irony of "obamacare" is that it's an invention of the Heritage Foundation.

They're the ones that designed it.

That Obama, implementing the plans of communist sympathizers like the Heritage Foundation.

YOU DON'T SAY!

And you are surprised at this? If you are, you're a moron.

"Social security is going broke!!!#$#!@$@#%11ON#"

No it isn't you stupid fuck, not if the legislature tweaks it A LITTLE BIT. But no, we have teabaggers and corporatists crying about the "47 percent that don't pay taxes" lie.

Hurr.

Fuck all of you.

Microsoft OS usage dropped below 50% for Wikipedia users, was Re: Time for Microsoft to panic

Wikimedia just posted more usage statistics. Windows had a 49.93% share in August of 2013. 4 years ago, for the month of September 2009, 88.68% of Wikimedia users used Windows PCs.

In 4 years, Microsoft dropped from stably controlling nearly 90% of the OS market for hosts used to browse the web, to controlling less than half , and dropping steadily. For the last 12 months, Microsoft's market share has been dropping on average more than 1.5% per month

More than a year ago, on August 15, 2012, I wrote:

Wikimedia gathers statistics any time somebody grabs a wikipedia page with an image, including the logo. (People who use text only browsers, do not significantly contribute to Microsoft revenue.) Three years ago, just shy of 90% of Wikimedia users were using browsers running on PCs running Windows, and the percentage was relatively constant month to month.

iPhone usage hit 1% share in November of 2009. At that point, Windows still had a 88.18% share. Fast forward to last month, Windows had a 69.15% share in July of 2012. They had a 1.3% drop in one month (70.45% share in June 2012). Most, but not all, of that decline is due to mobile usage climbing. All mobile usage combined for July is at a 19.6% share, so Windows isn't just losing market share to mobile devices, it is also losing share on the desktop.

Even if the recent compound increase in market loss is noise in the data, and the market share loss stabilizes at "only" something like 1% per month, it is still a huge shift away from Microsoft's income producers.

The Federal government does not regulate the principles of contract law.

You're a fucking moron. For fucking reals.

BMO

I opposed it because marriage is none of the Federal government's f*ing business.

This is where you are wrong and where everyone who keeps parroting this dumb line is conpletely wrong..

Marriage is irrespective of religion. You can have marriages that never come into contact with any religion. Marriages are fucking contracts. Contract law is certainly part of Federal law.

is it okay for the State to tell someone they can't do business with someone they don't like?

All of your english teachers are crying. This sentence right here is what shows the fucking contortions that the anti-gay-marriage idiots have to go through to explain their "logic."

Before you go accusing me of being a Microsoft shill - I've spent the past 7 years developing software on Linux

Un-fucking-likely.

You've echoed fucking Microsoft talking points - that makes you a shill.

Dumbass.

You can't read. That's typical among Windows shills.

I said the *one* *defining* difference that the *user* sees is metro.

The other, background stuff, doesn't matter all that much to the end user, and when you try to explain it, their eyes glaze over.

But mention Metro, and they start getting mad.

Now go away.

--
BMO

Metro? What Metro? I have Classic Shell installed so I never see it.

I find this common among 8.x shills such as yourself.

The one defining thing that separates 8 from 7 at the user's end is "not that important."

You idiots are fucking hilarious.

No, I will not eat your shit sandwich with smaller bites.

And I've never seen anything worth paying them for.

Except maybe Windows FLP, which is not for sale for any price to anyone not having corporate licenses and its use is discouraged by Microsoft. Windows Embedded 8 is a fucking pig and is fucking useless. It's within 5 percent of the size of a full version of 7 or 8 and all of the resource use as a full version of 7 or 8.x. Why bother?

"Small devices?" According to who? Microsoft's idea of a small device isn't anyone else's that I know of.

Sure, I'll take all the DVDs that Microsoft is willing to send me. I need more beer coasters.

You can try to use whatever semantics you want but in the end the result is the same. People have taken something which they do not have a right to and have not compensated the person/group who has created the work.

You mean like the record companies do to so many artists? Except in rare cases like Nettwerk Music. For example, The Romantics never saw a penny from "What I Like About You."

The only way the vast majority of bands make money these days is by touring. The amount of money they get from recorded music is basically confiscated by the publisher.

When people pirate music, they're screwing the publisher, not the band.

The empirical scientific agnostic religion of ASTROCISM, created by the worldwide Slovene empire with the help of the Slovene TOP SECRET WORLD-WIDE COMPUTER ELECTRONIC ENCYCLOPEDIA of THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO with its customs set up based upon the study of the Universe, primarily the study of our star, the Sun, "the giver of all light and heat and sole, sole sustenance of life on our planet, Earth," to aid the white Slovene spreading world population of Eurasia (Europe and Asia) which said population was composed of tiny independent farmers, namely a worldwide agrarian population.

The Slovenic empire through its religion of ASTROCISM made possible for man to advance to present day sophistication. THE ASTROCISM RELIGIOUS CUSTOMS AND FEAST DAYS WERE SOLELY TO ADVANCE THE AGRARIAN WHITE WORLD POPULATION WITH AUTOMATIC EDUCATION AND TRAINING.
