Well, I am not surprised you don't like it. But the fact is this is a different topic than is being discussed elsewhere here - this is not about evidence for WMD, or intelligence for WMD - this is the brginning of what will be the newest shift in…

I am a big fan - it has been great (and I often travel, so I like the flexibility of bringing DVDs with me on the road and watching them on my iBook). I think there are other benefits besides the monetary - like you said, the selection is fantast…

Well, I don't know about that. My first reaction on seeing the quote scrolling on CNN was "holy crap - he didn't mean that about the terrorists, did he?" And there has certainly been a bit of an uproar in the press and among the dems, but it is to…

I don't think that is the point, Applenut. Bush could have said "we welcome your attacks as they winnow out the weak among our troops", and it would not have increased the terrorist's attacks, but it WOULD be offensive. I think if I were the par…

Kraig, wow - let me deal with thses one at a time. your first post on the topic was a complaint about people just looking at headlines, and not reading the context, despite the fact that the very link that started the thread *included* context…

No kidding. It is cool today (only 96 degrees) Fish

Kraig911, ah, I see where you are confused....you see, there are more words below that headline thing, and if you read them, you get more of the context of Bush's comments. This is the way most of these things they call "articles" work - they …
-
Man - even the Bush administration isn't saying this is a "smoking gun"....just another in an endless series of reports that they have "found evidence" that later turns out to be either wrong, bogus, or at best not a reasonable justification for war…

Well, I suppose it is the leap in logic (two, actually) where you jump from "I see the handles on a website" to "I know they will be uncomfortable" (which you somehow think is as easily ascertained as knowing if fire is hot), and then you leap from…
-
Now, Clive, you are just being silly - you have decided (without touching one) that the handles actually don't work? Are they made from aluminum foil? Are the edges razor-sharp, lopping off fingers from the hapless fools who try to carry one to the…
-
Omg - I cannot believe that this much energy is being spent arguing over the HANDLES on the new case. And it isn't even as though the argument is about IF it has handles - it is that the handles aren't tilted perpendicular to the center of gravit…

Clive is correct - although he has made a few blanket statements about the aesthetics, I concede that most of his comments have addressed what he views as functional flaws. But as for " I'll say that, aesthetically, I'm in a better position than …
-
1. man, Clive, you oughta lighten up. 2. ANYONE who takes an aesthetic judgment like this and tries to claim an absolute (as if their opinion about aesthetics is somehow of more value than someone else's) is a little loopy. Some people think the d…

Right leonis - there WOULD be a ton of people presenting anecdotal evidence on both sides....which is why I tend to ignore it, especially when there are more objective measures we can turn to (like awards, consumer reports, etc). I started to lis…
-
In other words, your answer is "no - purely anecdotal". Which is fine, but not enough to make a definitive statement, as there are TONS of people who will offer anecdotal evidence to the contrary (my own experience included). Fish
-
Do you have any hard evidence of this decline in quality? Or is this purely anecdotal? Fish Also - as for the 2 motherboard thing - moki's comment there was a bit cryptic (in the thread titled, appropriately, "two new motherboards" I think). …
-
Didn't moki say 2 motherboards somewhere recently? Fish
-
Good point, RedEric....actually, I haven't followed the thread all the way through, but I DO tend to do a "find" for moki's posts periodically, since I enjoy them so much and think he is about the best source of info on this forum, so I have kept up…
-
Carpetfluff....that was hilarious. Generally - I am amazed that people find moki's comment "cryptic" - seems pretty straightforward to me, especially in light of his earlier comments in this thread. Fish

No problem Gamblor - I see now that you did not mean what you said about the "average" user being the same as a casual user in your first post, but were merely using that as a jumping off point to talk about something else. And frankly I agree w…
