• The Problem of Adoption: Why Abortion Is A Necessary Evil In American Society

  Thu Oct 14, 2010
  • In the mean time, it seems it would be best that people who really want to adopt might do the nation a favor if they chose to adopt a child first and be concerned about ethnicity second.

• The Limits of Politics: Sometimes, a lemonade stand is just a lemonade stand

  Tue Jul 6, 2010
  • That doesn't even make any sense. Do you have a point?

• Is Duke Nukem Developer 3D Realms Gone For Good?

  Wed May 6, 2009
  • This is starting to be widely reported. Frankly, I find it hard to believe, but not really all that hard to believe. They haven't put out a decent game in years...and, of course, then there's Duke Nukem Forever...

• One million Xbox Live members using Netflix

  Thu Feb 5, 2009
  • I admit to being one of those. It's really the only reason that I upgraded to an XBOX Live Gold membership. I already had the Netflix account. However, I have since discovered PlayOn which I like A LOT better. It allows Netflix streaming as well as Hulu and YouTube streaming.

• Windows 7 Starter Will Limit Your Screen Resolution, Won't Connect To Your Network, and Limits You To Three Active Applications At A Time

  Thu Feb 5, 2009
  • Yeah, Linux is great when it works. When it doesn't work, God help you. When Windows doesn't work, I can gerneally beat it into submission (restart), but when Linux doesn't work, I'm still pretty lost.

• Ubuntu: Now on the Dell Mini 12"

  Wed Feb 4, 2009
  • That's definitely good to hear. I made the switch from Windows to Ubuntu about a year ago and have been incredibly pleased. I missed a few things like MS Office (sorry, but OpenOffice just doesn't cut it), but have since installed a Windows VM that performs amazingly well.

• Carbonite Stacks the Deck on Amazon

  • I actually work for Rackspace, which just bought Jungle Disk. I am a HUGE Jungle Disk fan, but I don't use it for backups.

• Test-Driven Development

  Tue Jan 27, 2009
  • I don't necessarily disagree with that, except that xUnit has been ported to just about every language in existance, and so if you've used it in one language (jUnit, nUnit, phpUnit, etc) it's pretty much the same.

• Gears of War DRM screwup makes PC version unplayable

  Fri Jan 30, 2009
  • Good greif!! What is wrong with people? I know I still have games that I play MUCH longer than 3 years later. Actually, I have a tendancy to buy older games once they've fallen in price, sometimes over a year after they originally came out.

• Carbonite Stacks the Deck on Amazon

  Fri Jan 30, 2009
  • I've been a Carbonite user for a couple of years. While I've never had any problems with their product, their customer service sucks, with a capital S U C K S. I recently got so fed up with their customer service (or lack thereof), that I have switched to Mozy.
