Are you seriously trying to correct his correction while agreeing with him?

Well, they do make the coolest adapters.

Are there no ports for additional internal hard drives? I couldn't see a single place where they would go. Or are you stuck buying into Apples extremely proprietary (and expensive) storage options?

Honestly, this, IMO, is the best example of why Linux on the desktop turns off so many people. Application names. People want to launch a Calculator, not KCalculator or GCalculator. And not Nautilus or Konqueror , but a fucking file browser. Shit, call it "Files" for all I care but make it at least somewhat descriptive.

Absolute bottom line is if you use any online services whether free or pay, it can easily be assumed that you have no online privacy at all. If that bothers you, then maybe the interwebs aren't for you.

I have been using Google services for as long as they've been available for me to use. My life has had absolutely NO negative effects because of this and no money has left my pocket. If I've been sold to other companies for marketing purposes then I sure as shit haven't seen it or felt it. I also have a Windows Live (or MSN, Hotmail, Outlook or whatever the fuck they're calling it now), email account that is almost entirely filled with spam/junk email from none other than Microsoft themselves. I cannot say the same for my Google account.

Our IT group does not keep batteries. We have a small supply room in our company where they get everything they need for their daily jobs, including paper, pens, batteries, etc.

Trust me, if I could convince them that wired mice are just fine for their jobs instead of wasting money on batteries for wireless mice, I would. It's an entitlement issue.

This is what we do all day. We're a 3 person shop and have some of the most clueless users I've had the misfortune of dealing with. Not that I expect them to know much of anything on how a PC works but I do expect them to know how to change their own batteries in their wireless mice before submitting a ticket. Don't get me wrong, I'll take the ticket credit because it looks good in the reports, but FFS!

And because this is Slashdot, I present you with a car analogy: Do you call a mechanic every time your car runs out of gas?!

Oh, and in Soviet Russia, stress quits you!!!

Honestly, once I disabled Chrome's built-in flash/shockwave plugin and just used the Adobe plugin, I've had no instability or inconsistency. In fact, I use it on every one of my devices and have the same experience even across different operating systems. Most times, updates have always been virtually transparent to me as well.

What I read: "Russian Meteor Likely an Apollo Astronaut Chunk"

Did I watch the video? You must be new here.

GPS Scene

I couldn't agree with this more. Physics is mostly based on what we know here, on Earth.

Losing, not loosing!!!! Ffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Maybe you're watching the promo video for the jump, which WAS CGI.

Honestly, was this just a troll post?
