MY EYES!!! Gah! "More Loud Colorful Clutter" does not automatically equal "Better". It's a store for geeks, not the MySpace crowd.

As a former Vi user, I can kinda grok not liking arrow keys. (_My_ arrow keys are the ones on the numeric keypad -- I almost never use Numlock. This is a hold-over from my first computer: An IBM PCjr that had arrow keys in a diamond layout

I'd like to see all this technology, knowledge, and power put to use to feed, clothe, and house every person on the planet. There's no non-political reason we can't do this, but our current cultures won't allow for it. I'd like to be able t

It pains me as well (I'll be getting a nice, shiny 8-core system in two months) but rationalize it with my realization that pretty much every company is evil -- I give my hard-earned paycheck to the least evil company that provides what I'm

I'm saving up for an 8-core mac for a project I'm working on, and I'd prefer at least 16 (which is not economically feasible at the moment).
