I thought speech recognition was still very inaccurate & hasn't improved much in the last 5-10 years. Has it suddenly become usable?

Yours isn't a dual core. The GP's Asus is dual core, but it's about $800 = 1k with a $200 SSD. FWIW I'm not entirely certain the Air is a good value, & would appreciate a real comparison.

It's like one of those "you know you're a bad programmer if.." quizzes. It doesn't say anything you don't already know, & it's just playing on peoples insecurities.

This stockholm syndrome is annoyingly hard to avoid. I've known about it, but I can recall many similar occasions after reading this article.

He reminds me of a WWE character, I don't know why people take him so literally. I actually like his attitude, except he's playing for the wrong team...

Trolls used to be normal people too .. http://i.imgur.com/wOY9d.png I'm a recovering troll myself, so I understand the motivation. Most of them are really just looking for recognition.

Ironic, because this is the same pc attitude that prompted that marketer to write the pages of bullshit that reddit saw through. Didn't your pg write an article on this? When a group wants its superstitions given preference over the truth,

I can't see that you disagreed with me, & I don't disagree with you either. Something's always lost in these 'revolutions', but we always gain more than we lose. That's why we're switching mediums in the first place.
