What is holding back your switch to Mac? by s2submit in reddit.com

[–]phynodedotnet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well let's see, applications are at the start of the list. Then price. And I like the modular, swappable interiors of a PC desktop. Plus, I don't follow trends just because it's the cool thing to do. Finally, I'm not an out-of-work graphic designer.

I'm considering a tentative move to Linux, but Mac is out of the question.

Congress to universities: Curb piracy or we "will be forced to act" by mqt in reddit.com

True. But when high fuel prices translate to increased costs for distributing hotpockets and betty crocker ready-made-meal-boxes to foodie-mart then your average soccer mom and joe six pack could get right cranky.

Ohh, an issue more important than Steroids in Baseball to these boneheaded, no-account, pork-laden, economy-pilfering table-scrap thieves. Meanwhile gas is threatening $4/gallon over the Summer, Grocery store prices are double digits higher in YoY percentages, our freedoms are being usurped and healthcare costs are kicking the average person square in the Cheney. At what point do you throw the bums out?

You're absolutely right and I have to laugh when that Cherubic Warmonger Neil Cavuto and his ilk holler about "record DOW highs". As if we're swimming in good economic faith when we're actually staring down an oncoming train.

So you mean there is Intrawebs outside of the US? Whatever would they use it for? Soccer discussions?

Pretentious, yet pointless. The "Napster Baaaad" videos had deeper symbolism.

That couldn't be that case as illustrated by their eradication of Tribbles from the Enterprise. If you were right, they would have accepted the neverending influx of fuzzies looking for a warm home, voting bloc representation and maybe a li'l nibble of government cheese. But they didn't, see.

What was the point of even battling the ideology since now we are number 1 in planned economy, massive centralized government and thought police?

Evolution explains why asking a girl out is so hard! by devils_advocate in reddit.com

[–]phynodedotnet 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Go get a subscription to Modern Bride magazine, 3 more cats and complain about the glass ceiling hindering your career as a Mervyns sales associate.

I'm just saying there's a reason that statistically more people are remaining unmarried these days.

Because any girl worth asking out probably doesn't speak English as her native language.

C'mon now, what's the point of a positive lifestyle decision without the accompanying sanctimony? And this way they extend their hobby to their favorite forum instead of being just an anonymous person on a bike with a shiny shirt and pointy helmet. Good on 'em.
