The one thing that’s nice about Google, though, is that they try to be OS agnostic. This isn’t because they’re nice. It’s because they make their money from advertising and data collection. But still...

I have an old Dell Laptop hackintoshed... it’s mainly a party trick though because I’m fairly happy with Win 7 on my desktop and Win 10 on my tablet. (Trying to get my ipsec VPN working on the tablet. If I can pull that off, the laptop is getting Win 10 soon)

That’s why I never got very deep into Apple. I was gifted an iPod, and iTunes pissed me off so much that I refused to spend money with them. In retrospect, I’m really glad I did. I hear stories like yours all the time. There’s no way I want my media to be held hostage like that.

One of the main reasons I no longer use Samsung. I don’t care for proprietary systems. If I wanted that, I’d just go for an Apple. (My last Samsung phone was a Galaxy II, and it was rooted/rommed. I got into the habit with my 1st Samsung device out of sheer necessity... That was the infamous Samsung Moment... blech)

I jumped out of the Android bandwagon for my newest tablet. (Dell Venue 8 5000) I picked it up for $100, and it’s a great little tablet, that doubles as a Windows 10 laptop. There are certainly some things I miss about my Nexus 7, but over all, it’s a great experience. (The hardest part was finding an ebook reader…

Why? It’s all advertising and brand recognition.

I had a Jetta TDI for about a year and a half. Believe me, NOT a fan.

This is an educated guess, so take it for what THAT’s worth :D

I’m guessing that somehow, Amazon execs have convinced themselves that they want to control the end user experience. They want it curated so that it’s consistent all the way through, and the best way (in their addled heads) is to limit offerings to their…

I work with that guy. His emails are legendary because absolutely no one reads them. He’s also been known to drag meetings out to 2X their scheduled length.

He was my supervisor for a while, and he had the bad habit of scheduling meetings on Friday at 4. Supposed to be a 1 hour meeting. I used to piss him off (I was…

Not the worst looking boots ever, but I’d get those laces replaced ASAP.

Do yourself a favor and try the Whataburger Tacquito recipe below:

I’ll probably do this, just because I don’t care for all of the “gee-whiz” windows animations. But that being said, the only machine I have with W10 right now is a little Dell Venue 8 5000 tablet, and it’s pretty damn quick.

I picked up one almost exactly like this. Good for grilling, not so good for smoking. At least not if you want to use the alarm mode. (You should probably smoke a pork shoulder, for example, to 190 F. This thing goes up to 165-170 for well done and will beep at you when it gets there. If there’s a way to kick the…

Was he ever even charged with a crime? I mean, I can’t find anything that shows he was. If someone is going to accuse someone else, wouldn’t there be some sort of evidence, or at least charges?

At this point, I won’t say he’s a rapist because all I’ve seen is an unsubstantiated charge against someone with nothing…

You live in Canada... take a day trip to America, and set up a mailbox there for shipping. (Or will that trip some warning somewhere and make you a terrorism suspect?)

Yeah, I know... doesn’t save you any money.

I’m glad you follow fads and are controlled by whatever’s popular at the moment. It’s SO liberating, right?

Go watch “The Aristocrats” and see if you can understand the WHY of it all.

Not a problem. You’re allowed to dislike anything you want.

That being said, “ firing a rifle into the air while balls deep in a squealing hog” is simply an amazingly bad yet funny answer to almost ANY other card.
