So it's just mine.

And that's the way I like it.

Understanding the way people think and what motivates them will help you succeed in any endeavor that involves any of the other subjects. Because no matter what you do you always have to deal with other people and their psychosis at some point. (or your own . . .)

Why not just base the clones on Android?

It works with touch interfaces.

Apple will sue whoever builds them.

Fun for everybody.

I wouldn't call it ergonomic, but it has two things going for it.

1. The mechanical clicking. Very old school.

2. Nobody else in the family wants to use my computer. :)

It's so choice. If you have the means I highly recommend picking one up.

Mice are for pussys.

Long live the keyboard short-cut and tab navigation!

it's awesome.

You shoot arrows (with blunt tips) at a screen onto which they project video of fearsome beasts, like bear, deer, elk, wood chucks and fluffy bunnies.

At the end it tells you how many kill shots, wounding shots, and misses you had.

After they had me arrested at wild-life safari, I had to find something to do . . .

just cuz

Most gigantic quasi-governmental organizations that have multiple layers of bureaucracy that bounce you around like a tennis ball pretty much suck to deal with. Especially when they fuck up your account / paperwork / service, then make you jump through hoops to get them to fix it. . . Oh yeah, get me started. Hallelujah, holy shit, where's the Tylenol?

Ringo: "Hey guys, I just wrote this new song!"
The others: "That's lovely Ringo, we'll just hang it on the fridge so that we can all enjoy it."

I live in upstate New York so I can still see it.
Of course I can't get cable television where I live, and my closest neighbor is 1/4 of a mile away.
Seeing the stars and breathing fresh air is why I live where I do.
You know get back to the land and set my soul free, and all that.
Oh, and raising my own food and stock-piling weapons for the coming Zombie Apocalypse . . . but I digress.

I did a search for it but it must have been censored by my government.

Hey buddy, are you trying to take the food out of my kids' mouths?

Buggy software and stupid users is what keeps most windoze administrators employed.

It's ironic that the Times article quotes Orwell.

"Blocking such groups has become more insidious as Internet filtering technology has grown more sophisticated. As with George Orwell's "Newspeak," the language in "1984" that got smaller each year, governments can block particular words or phrases without users realizing their Internet searches are being censored."

A couple of years ago the Times did another story on how The Voice of America has been engaged in creating newspeak: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/31/washington/31voice.html

"Using a 1,500-word vocabulary and short, simple phrases" Oh and don't forget to add some good old fashioned censorship. "A 1948 law prohibits Voice of America from broadcasting in the United States"

But some listeners, like Ali Asqar Khandan, 36, an assistant professor from Tehran, said Special English seemed like "a special program for advertising American life and culture, not a simple radio station for broadcasting news or teaching English."

No need to broadcast it here anyway.

We'll let you know what should and should not be censored thank you very much.

Can somebody please pass the kool-aid?
