    Smartass in the family

    There was a report on the news yesterday about how commonplace cutting oneself has become among young people. They use it as a stress-reliever.

    Smartass in the family

    She could probably turn it into an infinite loop - a picture of someone drawing someone drawing a picture of someone drawing a picture of someone drawing a picture of someone drawing a picture ...

    Micron's CEO, Steve Appleton, Dies in Small Plane Crash

    Those small planes are dangerous, apparently. People die in them quite often.

    Facebook: Real Profiles vs. Fake Profiles

    You're right; it's not surprising. I used to get solicitations from "fake" women all the time on MySpace. It hasn't happened so much to me on Facebook.

    Egypt football clash kills at least 73

    I really don't know why they would want to do anything like that. I understand being angry, despondent, etc. but violence won't solve anything.

    What's Stopping You From Purchasing an SSD?

    My laptop's good for pretty much anything, including gaming (has a radeon mobility 5850). I hear you about the peripherals. Also, there's really no way to open it up easily. I also have a lot of driver crashes on this laptop, which sort of remain an enigma to me.

    What's Stopping You From Purchasing an SSD?

    I don't really need one. That's all. What do you think of the laptop vs. desktop vs. tablet debate?

    What's Stopping You From Purchasing an SSD?

    I just have my laptop. But it will accept a second drive, HDD, or SSD. Maybe I should upgrade.

    Egypt football clash kills at least 73

    It says some fans took knives into the football stadium. We live in such an angry little world.

    Boycotting Apple? You Shouldn't Stop There

    There's probably nothing better than Foxconn; that's why people want to work there. But being better than the next most horrible thing isn't really to be congratulated. It's like saying Mussolini was better than Hitler.

    The Internet Stratification: Tales of an Unequal Web

    Does anyone still use dial-up? That was slow back in the 90's, and it was a whole different web then.

    Boycotting Apple? You Shouldn't Stop There

    Remember Mitt Romney saying people are only poor if they want to be poor? Following that logic, the Chinese workers deserve to be mistreated. It's their own fault they're where they are. In fact, the employers should be commended for giving them slave wages! I just thought of something...

    Boycotting Apple? You Shouldn't Stop There

    Some of these people would sell their own mothers for 5 cents. But it's like the income disparity. People love to flap gums about it, but in the end they do nothing.

    Canada's SOPA Counterpart

    Yes, I saw that before. According to the article, it's been signed by 31 countries including Canada (22 members of the EU just signed it this month). It says after ratification by 6 states it will come into force.

    Writing a Book? Reasons Why You Should Self-Publish

    I used to write a lot. I tried to self-publish, but didn't get ... anywhere, really. :rolleyes: I'm more interested in non-fiction now. But presently my life story mostly consists of being in front of the computer. :D

    Canada's SOPA Counterpart

    I read about it a while ago. Hardly anyone's saying much about it. We're so surrounded by American media, it seems we almost ignore what's happening locally

    Tom Brady is so kind

    Who wrote that caption, and did they know who the old lady actually was? :D
