I know you are. Pretty much anybody with any ear for Reddit drama knows who you are. But you're sounding here like a child.

If God doesn't exist, it's not worth arguing Him. It's like asking if God can make a boulder so heavy He Himself cannot lift it. It's a worthwhile debate if omnipotence exists, but it doesn't, so the argument is moot.

Well, yeah. That's why nonbelief hurts the debate also. My response is a simple "There isn't." Kind of a flat debate.

I believe that calling something evil is gross oversimplifation. Terrible things happen. Evil has overtones that I disagree with, if that makes sense.

Logic came originally from philosophy. Your question's like asking why we ever bothered with the Model T when Porsche is such a better vehicle. Modern philosophy is important because it targets common assumptions and attempts to debate and

Huh! I guess that shows me to be the philosophical amateur I am. I always assume causality without thinking about it. Whoops.

I have. I took a course on religion last semester. Generally, I agreed with and loved the various sociological theories—the things that tried to explain the psychological origins of religion, for instance, were fascinating. But past a certa

It's a mistake to lump philosophy with theology. Philosophy requires no "givens", which is to say it is a valid field without requiring you to make any assumptions to partake in it. Theology, meanwhile, requires you first to assume the exis

Yeah, only slightly obnoxious. Nothing worse than somebody so relatively new to a field that they still think it objectively is better/cooler/more fulfilling than every other field.

On the Internet eras last for three years. Anything made in 2006 now counts as a lasting part of society; anything made in 2003 is ancient and wise. Two days ago I was browsing an old forum and saw Jason Kottke, Derek Powazek, and Dave Wine

I just don't see the advantage to dividing them. Isn't it easier to run in single-window mode.

The site I had the idea for three years ago still hasn't been made. A friend and I are ambling along getting it launched, but there's no particular drive. We figure if it hasn't been solved yet it won't be this year either.

That's the cliche, but that's not how it works. I'm in the middle of so-called hipster culture. There are no trends and there isn't really a disregard for trend following. There's more an apathy toward the entire concept of trends. There's

Hm. Yes, that could be irritating. I have iTunes set not to take focus, though, and I don't use Spaces (OT: Might I ask you how you set it up to work efficiently for you? I'm always curious about stuff like that), so I guess I hadn't though

Because it's maybe the most prevalent piece of software that exists today, save for web browsers and Microsoft Office? This is a discussion about an iPhone app, located in iTunes, and the browser URL points to apple.com. Everything points t

You're a smarmy little fucker, Denis. I said that in regard to your original post, which accused me of bias because I didn't mention phone calls. I said that you hadn't seen the Droid ad, which doesn't mention phone calls. Then you brough

Like, I like the Beatles. Great stuff. But I'll ask people, "Did you ever play any of their albums straight through? What songs have you heard?" If I just start saying that Revolver's first two tracks might be the best two in a row on any

I know, I know. It just irritates me. More negativity comes out of the people dissing hipsters than comes from the so-called hipsters to begin with. Perhaps it's because I'm inside the "hipster age bracket" and go to school with a lot of th

I have. It's not a Droid ad.

What the fuck does that even mean ? My saying I don't think hipster is really a meaningful term, that makes me a hipster? Because hating hipsters makes you a hipster, too. Hipsters hate hipsters. But if I liked hipsters, then I'd have to b

That I can definitely agree with. I don't think Android's competing directly with the iPhone or its, though. The people using it are trying to. I was reacting more to the TechCrunch article you linked to, neatly titled "Verizon Droid Is The

The Droid ad don't mention making phone calls. Not once. Way to RTFA. I'd argue, actually, that most users don't care much about their phone calls. Phones aren't used for talking nearly as much as they're used for other things. But either

I don't like the word "hipster". It's meaningless. It really is. I don't care who uses it. What I care about is that it exists. There's a special quality to Polaroid photos that I'd hate to see go, even if I'd understand if it did.
657.
by unalone 17y ago
I hope it turns out there's a market for Polaroid. Sometimes older, simpler product fade back in to popularity, much like how LPs are bigger now than they were 10 years ago. I'd like it if this were the case.

There's a difference in attitude. Actually, the best way to look at attitude is to look at Apple's ads and then to look at Microsoft's "Laptop Hunter" counterads. Apple's ads are very friendly. I mean, yes, they relentlessly diss PCs at eve

A blogger that I used to read once did a Google Blog Search for the terms "serious iPhone competitor" and "iPhone killer". TechCrunch has reported a few dozen "serious competitors", and it's been wrong every time. Now, Droid's ad is taking

Facebook has more users than Flickr; its users upload more photos than Flickr's. http://www.insidefacebook.com/2009/02/23/facebook-increases-... They get more than twice the photo traffic Flickr does. It's also interesting, looking at tha
