I was all ready to break out with the "whoosh"...and then you had to go and mention fried chicken. Because I believe in fried chicken. Delicious, artery-clogging fried chicken.

I agree. This topic really should have been from the "Solution-in-search-of-a-problem" dept. There's a large amount of tactile feedback that you get with a mouse which would be lost with this "solution". Thanks, but I'll stick with the "problem".

Claiming how stupid someone's argument is, and then countering with a *completely* over-the-top ad hominem attack...always rich. Sorry, what was it that was lame again?

Microsoft is not the only company that does this. For example, I keep seeing these Apple ads where they Photoshop out all of the normal people and replace them with a bunch of murse-toting douchebags.

Congratulations, you bit on the Google troll. It's the one thing I just can't stand about Google...they have to politicize everything, however subtly.

Keep your focus on the ones that have a chance to succeed in IT. Your speech should start like this:
"Hey kids, you see Tommy and Butch over there? Yes, I agree, they are mean doo-doo heads. Does it make you mad because they keep kicking your butts out there on the playground? Yeah, I bet it does. I used to have the same thing happen to me too, when I was your age. But I got 'em back GOOD. Wanna know how I did it?"
At this point, they should be putty in your hands.

DurandalTree writes "With the spectre of global warming on the horizon, biofuels have been touted as the solution to motor vehicles' greenhouse gas emissions.

The other was was Level Creator V for Quake, but did not appear to be endorsed or approved by Id. Each was $9.99.
