A criticism of a current television dramatic series:

"Not only they don't get rid of all the dead weed but they also keep adding characters."

Maybe some of those new characters could go out into the garden and do some weeding.

For the most part, cell phones really aren't that big today, either. These so-called "smart phones" are not cellular telephones at all, but glorified PDAs with some extra components that enable them to connect to wireless telephony networks. Same with these so-called "tablet computers" which, themselves, are little more than oversized PDAs.

I love pulling my dedicated Muzak-playing, 10 year old Axim X50 out of my pocket, then being told that "nobody uses PDAs any more" by some snot-nosed punk who then proceeds to get lost in his disposable I-PDA. It cracks me up every time. ...ing hypocrite.

But then, calling things what they actually are isn't "trendy" these days. The term "PDA" isn't marketable any more.


And? Why would you post that in this thread?
Maybe posting on the correct forum isn't ""trendy"" these days.

I must admit my brain sometimes gets ahead of my fingers and I type something like that - but I usually find it and edit it before I post!

^-- Children are starving in Africa, people are getting killed in the Middle East, corrupt dictatorships are in place in Asia, yet somebody takes issue with somebody else mistakenly posting something to the wrong thread on a discussion site because they had too many simultaneous Firefox sessions active. Geesh!

Where are Americans' priorities these days?

"Science has made tremulous strides in explaining a lot...."

Does this explain why so many people misunderstand what a scientific theory is?

I think that this is an excellent illustration of a First World Problem...

Yes, everyone should realize that you had done it in error.

"Where are Americans' priorities these days?"

Sometimes an over-reaction can be pretty funny. I can only imagine the response had I not used the polite smilies. ...
