| People who post on these kind of fourms usualy turn out to be people who have problems with their own lives and have to bash on others to make themselves feel better. Not always. I know many people who have been on the boards, and I used to be a member. There is a trend in this generation to be as ... |

| On the subject of navigation, a lot of things could be cleaned up if you never had to tell a computer where files were. The FHS was a step in this direction, but there was still a need for applications to have some manually defined link to the things it depends on. Windows addressed this with COM an... |

| You mentioned that Apple is appealing to the "emotions" of the average user - I would argue that what they're doing makes sense on a logical level as well. I can't remember where I heard it, but I remember Jobs carrying on about intuition. The nice thing about intuition is that it leads to assumpti... |

| some things are far more cumbersome on iOS, including how it handles java applications or advanced network configurations, even archives can be a particular trouble depending on what you use them for. As I implied, iOS is not as compliant with user demands that go beyond the standards of the people... |

| Ios will fail under its own success. There isn't much to their devices but sleek looks and cheap software gimmicks. Where is your argument here? You've made no connection between "looking sleek and actually succeeding" and "failing in the future". You have to remember that Apple is big on design, w... |

(abacacus did say the obvious one I forgot of smoke inhalation) I like how you changed I am not your damn secretary to I am not your secretary, kid. So now you are saying because I am you... |

| Are you arguing that we should outlaw everything that is considered harmful? For the third time, I am not invested in forcing people to do anything. My point is "just because you can doesn't mean you should". I would advise people not to practice unhealthy habits when they value health. I make that... |

Is it the THC? Can it be administered without smoking? |

I think that the typical Western diet that includes lots of fast food, snack food, soft drinks and other processed food is both less healthy and more addictive t... |
