Look at it this way, high blood pressure and arthritis runs in my family. Though I may pwn you with regards to caffeine, eventually it'll catch up to me.

I met a friend of a friend of a friend a couple of years ago who was a serious caffeine junkie. She drank coffee constantly, as well as keeping a stash of caffeinated candy in her purse and used the caffeinated soap.

By the way, what is BC powder?

I'm not buying it either. I drink 2-4 cups of coffee every work day. I don't have a single cup on the weekends. I'm just finishing up a 7 day vacation and in that time I have had precisely one cup. No headaches, no jitters, nothing.

The 386 is a 32 bit processor. Yes, even the 386 sx is a 32 bit chip.

If they've dropped i386 support, they should name their packages differently. For example, Mandrake is the first distro that I ever used that required a Pentium or better and their packages were "i586" to indicate that.

I get pushed more and more into being "the old geek".

I still have Red Hat 4.2 CDs that were intended to run on 386 and up... Why is this noteworthy?
Seriously.

Haven't you people ever seen an RPM? Do you know what that "i386" in the filename means?

I'm not impressed.

It's a problem when both people do it. There are better examples of bad rhetoric by democrats.

The democrats are not "MY GUY"- I'm an independent and voted for Republicans, Democrats and even Libertarians last election.

Not having a party affiliation doesn't make you independent, it makes you indecisive.

"Bring a knife to a gunfight" is not a violent phrase at all however. It's a idiomatic cliche that expresses a certain concept of entering a negotiation grossly weaker than your opponents.

And you are a hypocrite. The crosshairs weren't a suggestion to go out and shoot people, they were to indicate that those areas were to be targeted for a campaign push. Whip up the votes and defeat the opposition at the polls. If you understand that Obama wasn't *REALLY* talking about bringing a gun, why can't you understand that you can target someone for defeat in an election without targeting them for termination?

They're blaming nutbag teatards like you because of things like GIffords being threatened for voting for the so-called "Obamacare" bill (Palin even went so far as to post a map with gun targets over her and other congresscritters who voted for it). And give up on the whole "ACORN" thing. It was a fucking bunch of community organizers, not some brownshirts. It's amazing how two corporate run and controlled parties can jockey for support by forcing wedge issues into the forefront while still steadily increasing the income and wage disparity to epic new levels.... your stupid teabagger "movement", as contrived and astroturfed by morons like Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin (and even that Rand Paul asshole), is just another way of shoring up more money for the wealthy. Societies are still judged by how they treat their least fortunate, and in that way, we fail. Epically.

Yeah that's it. You hypocritical cocksmoking faggot. Why is it not an issue when one of your brethren at the daily kooks puts a bullseye on her district? Like this...

But never waste a crisis. Never pass on an opportunity to act like all of the world's problems are caused by your opposition. Do it enough times and it'll almost seem reasonable when you propose a...final solution to the problem.

If PayPal were a regulated bank of any sort, they'd be just as small and insignificant as any other provider in the field, and we'd have *nothing* instead of PayPal. No thanks, we're better off with PayPal than with no PayPal

No. Fuck PayPal, we don't need them. They are no longer the only game in town. There is GunPal, which was clearly started to fill in a void that PayPal was intentionally leaving in the marketplace. I say, everytime PayPal pulls this kind of Bullshit, people should switch to the alternative.
