   Does it need to be surprising?

   This is a failed view. Yes, they've voted with their wallets, but "get over it" isn't the appropriate response. The appropriate response would be to point out that the time for change is here, and you pretty much have to start voting the ot

   I hate to disagree with you because I abhor the idea of using a tablet for my work. However, it's still a machine that gets longer battery life than a laptop, is smaller (so theoretically more portable), lacks a lot of the power of a laptop

   I personally do this, but I do find that, at times, I learn what the time or date is. It does throw me off. I can see benefit, for me, personally, in taking it a step further and removing clocks from my life.

   Being on the Maker schedule doesn't imply being awake at 3 AM.

   Yeah, because that's related to whether or not he was a jerk. Spoiler: It isn't.

    That's not an unfair generalization or anything.

    You raised a legitimate concern but threw in unnecessary derision. I wish I could downvote you.

    4chan has bans, and authorities are frequently called when illegal content is posted. Try again.

    That is utter nonsense. I don't even know where to begin. Technically, you can say whatever you want, but you cannot expect to avoid persecution (or prosecution) if you do.

    I program every day. I live on the internet. I blog (privately), plan projects, work on said projects, and inhale information probably 15 hours per day- sometimes more (I don't sleep much). A week ago, a lightning strike took out my interne

    Thanks. I had done a quick search beforehand to see its origin because I knew it was used in rage comics. Upvoted.

    Rage comics are just "MS paint comics" with recurring characters and a set format- which makes sense given that reddit is a less chaotic alternative to 4chan. Of course, the chaotic nature of 4chan is not a bad thing. Also, the memes that o

    Aren't most of those boards invaded pretty regularly? Also, some of the boards are full of people who can be described as insane- despite not having porn/gore/etc. For example, /g/. I don't agree that it's inaccurate to say 4chan is vile in

    I might jump on the internet and complain about how consumers believe that's what lamps are for. edit: Or rather, I might jump on the internet and complain that the company making this particular lamp markets it as such.

    The point here is that natural advantages make you more capable for some things than others. You can't be blamed for not being able to achieve something that you shouldn't have realistically expected to achieve. That said, some things are

    Humorous mistake of a similar nature: I recently tried to link to a post about Skype becoming more susceptible to policing when it had previously been far more resilient. Messenger warned me that the link was dangerous. After a few minutes

    It's a terms of service violation. Are you really arguing that it's acceptable to enforce a real name policy because you can just lie about your name?

    One obvious benefit is that you aren't trusting anyone else with your passwords.

    Yes, and it's been entirely possible to maintain anonymity with a book or a letter to a newspaper for almost as long as writing has been popular among the masses. Maybe longer. Being required to use your real name on a site where you would

    I have mixed feelings about this. I don't think it's necessarily rude since you aren't (necessarily) detracting from the experience of the people around you. It may be rude to the speaker, but it's become common to the point that I'm not ev
