I truly wish you were right—that nobody cares. But unfortunately a lot of people care. Many straight people care, or we wouldn't have to fight for our rights. As gay people, we care, because we want to find each other. Realistically, we make up a scant 3-5% of the population. That's a very small selection of… Read more

I think Liam offers a good explanation and I'm late to the game due to bad airplane internet, but I want to offer my answer as well (even though it may be a little redundant). :) Read more

I think Platypus Man covered most of the basics here but I wanted to reply myself so I could tell you why I wrote this and why I think it's important. (Hopefully it'll post, as I'm on a plane all day and the Wi-Fi is horrible.) I appreciate you asking, by the way. A lot of people (some of whom are in this… Read more

Yeah, I know...that's always the sad part about putting out these sort of posts. But I like to think someone will read what this guy has to say and take it to heart. Read more

Well you can't buy ANY laptop if you can't accept a 15% failure rate. :) It's unfortunate they suck this much but that's why you aim to get a more reliable machine It's also a good reason to go refurb, as those have to go through a more thorough quality check with most manufacturers. Read more

Yeah, I was pleased to see Asus high up on there. I've always liked their machines. I think they make some smart design choices (functionally and aesthetically). It's nice to see evidence that they're reliable, too. Read more

I've had the same experience as you. I owned a Toshiba that broke and two HP computers that never did. (In fact, one I turned into a tablet and it still works about five years later.) Personal experience doesn't really tell you or me much about the general experience people will have with these companies. It's… Read more

I actually didn't know about a few of them when I put this together. It's kind of amazing how many there are and how many you can find when you go looking. :) Read more

The music isn't louder than the voice over...I turned it down about as low as it would go. Read more

Yes, that's true, it's only the active one. Read more

Thanks! Read more

Cool! Read more

I don't know. I've only had batteries like this one for a few months now and while I haven't seen any decreased capacity I haven't had them long enough to really figure that out. I also think that it'd be hard to tell, too, and it would depend on how it charges both. I'd think it would cause a problem if the… Read more

I agree with Moon. :) Read more

That's the thing, actually—it's not so much time that heals the wounds as it is finding replacements for the things that cause you pain as a result of the breakup. That happens naturally as time passes, but you can expedite the process by figuring out what triggers those unhappy memories and replace them with things… Read more

That would be cool if they could make it work well and actually look nice. I think that's a tall order, but if someone could make it happen it'd be neat. Read more

Oh, they make them for whatever phone. You just have to specify your phone/size when you buy it and they send you one that works with the larger phones. An iPhone 5/5s/5c won't even fit in the regular one without sticking out. Read more

I know people who do. I'm not one of them. I just like that there's a big pocket for whatever. I have no intention of putting a phone in mine. :) Read more

Win. Read more

Whoops, thanks! Read more
