@ Satis: not that I mind you skipping the arguments but I do want to say that Peltz and I are being very civil. We're not going ZOMG U SUCK!!1 or anything, I think we got too old to care that much about arguing on the internet anymore.

Yes, quite true. And in the end we want the same thing, that politician would stop thinking of themselves as carriers of higher privileges and instead would start thinking of themselves as carriers of higher responsibilities. Its not a discussion over what but rather how and our perceived differences, its like mapping the same side of the coin from different perspectives.

hehe, fair enough. I didn't figure you guys were being uncivil or anything. Just not an argument/discussion I want to get involved in right now. I think we all actually have a fairly similar view of things, politically speaking, with our differences being rather minor.

As for the laptop, yea, I can find some 520M graphics out there, even from Dell (which I get discounts on via my company). The 540M performs much better than the 520M, hence my choice. The looks are secondary...and I'd honestly rather have something less childish. But it is what it is.

Something for Ox.

But without megacorps, we won't have shiny new toys and consumer goods as often as we do now.

Quality of life is measured by how many apple and android devices we own.

Wow, my life is pretty drab and wretched then, because I own none of them.

go back to your factories and tenements, slovenly folk! *plays angry birds on his android phone*

Sorry mister, i'm not qualified for factory work yet .

Love that pic.
