Really? So, one can't buy a briefcase, calendar, or day planner anymore because they are obsolete, right? Oh, wait, they are still made and sold buy the hundreds of thousands.

Anyone can get along just fine without a cellphone, let alone "smartphone". Your dependence on technology makes you weak and short-sighted.

80s? Detailed build instructions came in the boxes I got when I was a kid in the 70s. My friends and I would build according to instructions a few times, the starting making our own things with the blocks. We generally lost the instructions within the first 2 weeks anyway.

Seeing as simply stating "no, that space suit doesn't look like Buzz Lightyear" gets modded as flaimbait, I would say I have decent proof. But, as it happens I did just that and found that posting similar or even the same comment got different moderations.

If the suits are hooked up to the spacecraft as specified, it would be rather easy to test the integrity of the suits by inflating them to a specific pressure and waiting to see if the pressure drops. In fact, one could leave them inflated and if the pressure drops the access door won't open.

No. No, it doesn't it.

There is also this bit:

Imagine that someone might say "We think you would be a good candidate for this job you passed over. Why didn't you pursue it?" And, then one says in return "Well, I don't have this skill they are requiring." Well, they might just say "Why don't we see if they will train you up on that skill and, if not, let's see if we can't get your some training in that skill."

Oh, the HORROR that someone might encourage a job seeker, offer to get one training or talk to an employer for a job seeker to see if they will train an otherwise qualified candidate on a missing skill.

If you think litter picking is a horrible job, you have lived a sheltered life.

I call your post "the cry of the whinger". Don't want to pick up trash on the street or clean urinals? Get an education, do a good job at getting an education, and get a better job. When I lost my tech job in September 2001, I worked as an electrician's helper digging ditches for conduit, in Florida, in the summer. I worked as a courier. I worked in the summer and the winter in an unheated, uncooled metal building cutting, bending, welding and grinding aluminum into signs. I have picked up trash, cleaned restrooms in bars, and cooked. You know what I do know? I work as a developer.

No one is above cleaning toilet and picking up trash.

Read his comments below the video. He states he was using the laptop with a touchpad. It really seems he calls the cursor the "mouse".

Unfortunately, the first quarter of his rant is easily explained by his inability to keep his palms off touch pad as he types. I installed the prerelease on a laptop I bought for $250, never had any of the problems he mentions , and figured out everything he couldn't in about an hour.

Using Win8 with a mouse is a bit annoying, but it is in no way "unusable" or "user hostile". He was just sloppy, resistent to change, and incompetent.

And, before the MS haters start screaming "SHILL!!1!!!1!", after about a month of using Win8, I did what I originally intended to do with that laptop. I installed Linux on it. Specfically, Debian with WindowMaker.

Oh, shut up Brian.

No. I am pointing out that most people say "That is too harsh" until they or someone they love is the victim of the crime, then the punishment isn't harsh enough. It is not about an emotional answer. It is about hypocrisy.

If someone did what this guy did to you and/or your girlfriend/wife and/or your daughter(s), what sentence would fit the crime?

That may be true in some places, but as a whole, one can generally have a lawyer represent one in court without appearing.

In other words you actually ment to say that using Windows 8 is similar to prision rape to get attention. You meant to say it, you just said it because you are an attention whore who was afraid his comment wouldn't get noticed unless he said something "a little dramatic".
