Which is more likely true?
a) Tiger Woods plays better when he has free and easy sex available.
b) Tiger Woods won’t regain his mojo until he reconciles his sordid past.
Why is it so hard for the media to understand where the BP oil spill disappeared to when natural oil seeps around the world pour hundreds of times more oil into the ocean every year than the entire BP oil spill? Do they not realize that oil is a carbon based nutrient bonanza for hundreds of kinds of naturally occuring bacteria? Where do they think all that other oil goes day after day?
I wasn’t able to watch the Perseids last night, it’s been cloudy and rainy pretty much every day for the past two weeks.
Do Democrats really think calling Tea Party supporters “racists” and “extremists” and “dumb-asses” (oh, oops that last one was what Republican called the Tea Party folks…) is going to be a winning strategy for November? Last I checked the Tea Party was roughly five times as popular with the American people as incumbent Democrat congresscritters.
How can a man possibly be 50 years old when he feels almost exactly the same as he did when he was 18?
Does cutting your own hair automatically make you a dweeb?
What company will be the first to market their smartphone as a desktop computer replacement?
Will there be any consequences to the recent revelation that CFL lightbulbs which were marketed as lasting ten times as long as an incandescent bulb have an actual demonstrated failure rate from 5 – 12% in the first month depending on which brand you buy? How long has the government known this? Has anyone calculated the amount of additional mercury in our landfills due to just these early failure CFL bulbs?
Yay, the call is over!!

Because they hate rich corporations, especially oil companies. No. They think the oil is still down there waiting to bubble up.
Same thing here too.
I guess so.
Are you discussing your mind or your body?
Yes.
Won’t happen for a long time. Laptops overlap with desktops but high end desktop beat high end laptops every time.
No, politicians think that CFLs are still the way to go. I guess you could to the calculations with your 18 yo mind.
LOL. I think the obsolescence of laptops and desktops will happen much sooner than most people think. It’s almost there already. My smartphone is more powerful than any computer I owned until probably 2005. Once someone realizes that all they need is a large screen and a keyboard and a dock to plug their smartphone into, you’ll see a rapid change in the market.
I give it five years at the MOST, and would not be surprised to see first-adopters dumping their heavy, antiquated equipment by the end of next year.

Yes, because democrats believe all that is told them from their party and the media, therefore they have no choice but to believe them. They have lost the gene that allows critical thinking.
smartphones won’t replace “real” computers unless we come up with some sort of large screen and input device. There are too many people like me who are blind-as-a-bat and just can’t deal with a five-inch screen for anything other than showing my phone list.
OTOH, a phone certainly could be a dockable computer if it had the right usb ports so you could use a full-size monitor, kb & mouse. You combine this with web-hosted office apps and it could be a serviceable computer and smartphone.
I don’t know about the rest, but the CFL never did it for me. Couldn’t wait until Flutie returned to the states.
NFL man. That’s the way to go. No sissy CFL for me.
I’m with you about smartphones replacing desktop/laptops. It’s coming soon. The technology already exists to dock to a monitor and keyboard, it’s just a matter of leveraging those technologies into a portable enough device.
The bottom line is that it’s all about convenience and a threshold of functionality. When a Smartphone can run a browser, email, basic productivity programs (word processor, spreadsheet, etc.) and simple games, the vast majority of end users will have all they need in one convenient device. My smartphone can do all of these things today, with performance that is equal to any computer or laptop I had up until about 2005. Which is more than enough.
Hardcore gamers or power users will continue to use desktop and laptop computers for a few more years until the smartphones crack that threshold too.
Which they will.
