well, you could look at it as "there are 372 other clones, what can *I* add to mine to make it stand out, thus encouraging even more competition to create exactly that.

When napster fell there were numerous clones and that worked out fairly well. sure some will fail and go under but thats how things work.

its not so much about the content of the movie as it is the politics surrounding the movie

forgot the link, oops http://www.theverge.com/2014/1...

I have it waiting for me when i get off work, But the thing is i knew this movie was crap before hand... its seth rogan and james franco. Having said that eventhough its garbage, its usually funny as well. I was reading an article earlier today about how "33 % of people who responded to this survey say the movie was "culturally insensitive"

and? what did these people expect? its a comedy making fun of a dbag dictator. It would be like people in the 30s complaining about the great dictator being culturally insensitive. my response is who cares if it is? its not supposed to be, nor, did the last time i checked required to be.

Im going into it knowing its gonna be crap, but im sure i will still find it funny

might not be able to start steam, however you can run the games, I had no problems with civ 5 in the downtime. Sure I could not run it on a new machine, but i didnt need to

the brown principle?

i forgot about that! Yes I cant tell you how many people think my number is disconnected. Its even better when i get repeat spammers I can save them in my phone under a funny or explicit name. When they call it will answer "hello dickweed, so and so is unavailable.... etc etc",

you are forgetting the 30 seconds it took to connect to voicemail

oh the lights bother me, i disable notifications as soon as I get them, I want to see the light to let me know something is there, but once i know as much, i want the lights to stop

my father is in his 50s and is the same way

I use youmail for my VM provider. its great because I get texts if i want, transcripts if i want, emails if i want. I tend to stick with the emails (texts before my smart phone). I for the life of me cannot tell you the last time i actually listened to a VM, if i see you called, and i want to talk to you, i call you back.

Im sure other companies offer the same features, i know google does but to this 29 year old, this is spot on information

... the repubs didnt want it pulled...

wow, that is above and beyond. at the company i work for, they will send messages to customers over the web in this manor, however only on their DNS.

this would not even happen if they were using a different DNS such as google, it only happens with their DNS server

thank you for explaining what I was getting at better than I did.
