There's a little more to it than that. I don't have to plug my watch in to charge every day (or, indeed, ever) and I can shuck my sleeve and check the time in an instant in virtually any situation, it's waterproof to 100m (tested to 30) and requires almost zero consideration when it comes to protection from the environment (though it does have the dings and scratches to show for it).

On the other hand, I readily confess that it's something of, well, I hesitate to say fashion but certainly style statement. Then again, I got my first watch for my 5th birthday (Timex, simple hour, minute, second deal) and have always had something of a fascination for them. I actually have a Commodore watch somewhere. I imagine that might be worth something. But I'm digressing...

Yes. God forbid you would vote for the guy who didn't win.

On the other hand, if she had done it during the first one, you wouldn't even have noticed it.

Many of the editors (not all) are a-holes. Unfortunately, the bad tends to drive out the good. Who wants to be associated with that?

I think citations are supposed to be independent sources.

Could you add the words "DON'T PANIC" in large, friendly letters to the homepage? It would be really helpful.

Netflix already ran on my Chromebook.

War of the roses. Does plucking a rose threaten the state?

He just described millions of people in the US up until the beginning of this year...

Andy Kaufman also.

Ug. Not even second with that. Mod me to obscurity, please...

The only way to win is not to play.

42 years and my only disbelief is that we aren't advancing faster in the medical field right now (Not to disparage those working in the field) and that we aren't doing more in space. Many of these trends were already well established by the early 80s.

If you want an inflection point, you probably have to look at when the transistor hit mainstream and pick someone who had already had some life experience by then.

I remember they were doing an interview with a guy who was 100+ years old (this would have been about 20 years ago) and asked him what he thought was the best invention. He said it was tarmac as before, when you came in off the street, your clothes were always dirty from the dust. Goes to show...
