I prefer to compensate for my teeny-tiny penis with large caliber 
firearms. My pickup won't work since it is well before the era of Monster 
Trucks and doesn't require a stepladder to mount and two parking spaces.

I had a Dodge RAM 2500 once, king cab, 4WD.  Took it on 40
miles of bad road 4-wheeling with my folks in their pickup,
heading up to see Peter Lassen's grave.

A tail light rattled off.  My STI would have been better.

That thing was a mess.  Sold it for peanuts, was just glad to
be rid of the thing.  I guess my Dodge wasn't "RAM tough".

The thing about Subarus is that they are built by Fuji Heavy
Industries -- an aircraft company.  I think they're the best
bang for the buck on the market, which is why we now drive
an Ascent.

Thinking of trading in the STI for Subaru's new electric car -- either
that or an up-market WRX, which supports "eyesight" for things like
adaptive cruise control.  (The STI, being manual shift, doesn't support
it.)

The quote he used is from Paul commenting on the Corinthians'
treatment of some "self-important" dweebs.

Don't get me wrong, I think Paul was flawed; but
that was a good letter he wrote (wherein he admits
to being flawed, among other things).

ObLinux:  I'm running compiz, but with my xfce4 panels
and Cairo dock intact.  Already showed it to Mrs. vallor,
who oo'ed and wow'ed over it.  I might have to set up
her Linux workstation similarly...

SURRENDER DOROTHY

 ...does your husband know yet?  That you want to kill me,
eat me, and wear my skin?

Do you keep Toto on a short leash?

He likes it, doesn't he?

Well, I do wave a cheerful buh-bye to Larry when I kill his latest sock

I don't believe that man has ever been to Corinth.[1]

But a well-played quote.  I'm not sure Jacek understands that
he has the perfect right to ignore anybody he wants to.

Well, good for you. G.K. Chesterton once wrote, "We have the right NOT to 
know." I don't want to know what these idiots have to say, after they've 
proved they have nothing worse saying. Life is too short to put up with this 
kind of bullshit, so I don't.

You can choose how you wish to waste your time.

And, by the way, filtering out what I (personally) don't want to read is not 
"censorship" as it does not to limit "freedom of speech." But if these 
writers want me to read their crap, they'll have to  make it worth reading.

Choice is good. I choose not to be bogged down by wading through stupid 
bullshit.

Says the dumbass who thinks that using Linux somehow lowers the cost of bread.
  That had to be the most absurd "Linux Advocacy" I have ever seen in 30 years
on usenet.

And as you can imagine, that's up against some pretty stiff competition.

Competition does lower prices. Think Microsoft could charge as much for 
Windows and Office if there weren’t cheaper alternatives?

Now, they advertisement in Windows to level up their revenues.

If you paid for a Windows license by purchasing a computer or buying a 
boxed version of it, then there should be no advertisements in Windows. 
If Windows was obtained as a free upgrade, Microsoft has a right to 
advertise in a targeted way. If people didn't want to get ads or be 
targeted, they could have opted out of updating their systems.

Granted, Microsoft didn't give them much of a choice when it forced 
upgrades on Windows 10 installs.

I don’t think that’s helping enough, though. I think the deliberate
mass obsolescence Microsoft has brought in with the Windows 10 → 11
transition is in part a revenue grab.

You can see the effect of declining Windows revenues in the
corresponding decline that Microsoft has been making in keeping up the
quality of the software.
