Think it's pretty hilarious that Fox News and the rest of the mass media has little old ladies in Topeka worried about Muslim terror attacks when you're probably 1000 times more likely to die at the hands of a right wing terrorist like this asshole, those two assholes in Las Vegas, Jared Loughner, e...

Re: The avg US woman now 166 pounds — as much as a 1960s man
The article seems to go for some shock value by focussing on women when they could have focused on men or just the fat population in general. It has to be the food right because we are exercising more than our parents ever did. I don't know that that's true. We probably are exercising more but peop...

Re: Jeeves runs a small business but needs new computers.
Yeah, two, three or whatever doesn't really matter. I don't know how people live without a USB hub. I have a six port hub with six ports in use all of the time (Fitbit tracker, USB mouse, keyboard, iPhone charger, Kindle charger/synch and an external HD).

Does anyone ever get a Mac then go back to a Dell or some other Windows machine? The difference in lifespan (and super coolness) is night and day.
