God I hate the iPhone/everything else debate. And the Mac/PC debate. Utterly, utterly useless rivalry.

I know. I saw them. I just take the position that if you ignore red/unapproved commenters they are, for all intents and purposes, not there.

It also occurred to me, when I went back up, that Joel didn't write this endorsement. Matt Buchanan did, he just quoted Joel's feelings about the sustainability of materialism.

Unfortunately, Verite isn't on there, but you can always check a charity out on [www.charitynavigator.org]

If you hadn't approved the comment it would have stayed red and non-starred commenters wouldn't have been able to see it. You've just subjected them to the spam. :-P

Hmm... saying "I don't like you, and therefore don't find your endorsement encouraging," is different from apparently just ignoring whatever charities he brings to light. The first still allows you to make your own judgment about the charity. The second means, even if he points out a charity that you might have…

I doubt it. Mostly because drooling is uncouth. Plus, on the internet everyone's a player. I think the general sense here is the same one 20-ish people got when talking about how they've never had a hangover in a previous post about some god-awful drink made with beer and Everclear. You're young, enjoy it now, things…

How very convenient for you. "I can ogle women because they must want it!" You assume that men ogle women because they use their sexuality "to manipulate men." Are we then to assume that men at some point didn't ogle women - why, it never occurred to them! - and then women bollocksed the whole thing up by showing some…

That sounds like it's begging to be photoshopped...

Hey, Jimmy Wales even warned students on Twitter to get their homework done early because Wikipedia would be down tomorrow. They're looking out for us!

I'm sure z.griswold is the epitome of the male specimen, with something like 2% body fat and chiseled abs, making him well within his rights to set his sights on only the most attractive women on Earth. Just like every other guy on the internet.

That doesn't really fit the analogy I was going for, though. Everything is claimed to affect jobs (whether there's any actual link or not), just like apparently everything gives you cancer. Your toothpaste will give you prostate cancer, and if you don't bend over and take it from the MPAA and RIAA then jobs will be…

Job creation is the new cancer. You know how everything gives you cancer, like fluoride in your drinking water and what not? Now everything destroys US jobs. Killing SOPA endangers US jobs in a vague and unclear way. Stopping the AT&T-Mobile merger threatened jobs in a vague and imaginary way. Any time a corporation…

On what planet is maturity the only factor in the use of birth control? Have you spent time with teenagers from underserved, poor neighborhoods? Neighborhoods without computers and the internet, where information is gleaned mostly from TV and peers? In neighborhoods where men and boys are discouraged from using…

This joke went over my head until I started reading the comments, because CS5 has never crashed in my 2008 MBP, that I can recall. I guess the 4Gb RAM upgrade was worth it.

That's weird. I have a 2008 MBP and CS5 has never crashed on me, that I can recall.

What. The. Fuck.

I'm guessing what he means by styrofoam trays is take out containers, with the hinged lids (which probably qualifies as "unwrapped").

It doesn't work that way in MacOS, unfortunately. The menu bar is on the equivalent of your task bar, outside the app window (next to your start menu, or apple menu, as it were). I can only turn off the navigation bar, which makes getting around difficult (you have to hit cmd-L to type in a URL). With only the…

Hmm, well, I've done that already, but in MacOS FF is still about 50% larger than Chrome. Mostly, it seems, because in Chrome the tabs are at the very top of the window, but in FF they're not. The top of the window in FF shows the title of the current page, with the tabs below that, which is redundant because the tab…
