...is killing my computer. My laptop has two processors, so when I look at the process list anytime I have a program that is running flash, it is at the top of the list with around 98% of one of the processors.

My computer was either ...

I just unsubscribed from a whole-heck-of-a-lot-of social networks. If you are looking for me, I am still on Facebook and linkedin. I'm probably on a few others, but I just canceled MySpace, Friendster, Orkut, and Bebo.
MySpace was the most difficult to complete. I actually had to click on a link ...

So I went through my gmail address book selecting all the addresses I don't want popping up when I'm typing in an email address. I got about 128 addresses that I have sent an email too or (more likely) received an email from that I will probably never use again.

Google just announced Google Gadgets for Mac. I don't understand. The standard way to get dashboard widgets is to download them from wherever (direct from apple or just direct from the developer) and install them.
Google's way is to install software that I don't need (google desktop) in order to browse ...

I watch the Office on their website, since they won't let me buy season four from iTunes. They have these crappy commercials (way too loud, there are only 2 per episode, but they show them 12 times each) that they show over and over again, and there is a little ...

This doesn't even make any sense.

In January 1957, as his diary from the Sierra Maestra indicates, Guevara shot Eutimio Guerra because he suspected him of passing on information: “I ended the problem with a .32 caliber pistol, in the right side of his brain.... His belongings were now mine.”

I happen to agree that abortion is a form of murder. I think the quarrel about when life begins is disrespectful to the fetus. I know I murdered the life within me. I could have loved that life but chose not to. I did what men ...

The Episcopal "Church" is suing to regain it's property from the 11 churches in Virginia that broke away from the larger body in order to remain with orthodox Anglican beliefs.
When one of you has a grievance against another, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead ...

BBC's Panorama recently did a segment on Scientology, Which you can watch here (it is in 4 parts, that is the first part).
This, combined with how crappy Mission Impossible III was, has pretty much convinced me that I'm done watching Cruise movies until he is done with Scientology.
Some other interesting ...

(translated by Alan H. Sommerstein)
This was a rather liberal translation. The play is pretty crappy (pun intended). It was interesting to see that the introduction referred to 4 themes: atheism, scientific inquiry and speculation, rhetoric, and the new morality. Those 4 themes seem to be what each new generation ...

There are a few things that really bug me about OSX. The most common being the "spinning beach-ball of death"

Sorry Thomas and Charlene... here is my review:
Before Sunrise is My Dinner with André with a much less interesting conversation and a slightly more dynamic background.
Before Sunrise is like reading the blog and all the comments in that blog of a person in an emo band.

Anyone see the movie "Brick"?

What is it called in rhetoric when you constantly name people's "logical fallacies" and then tell them to take an "intro to logic" course?

Is it just Word Press that doesn't let you do that, or html?
Either way, it is dumb. Sometimes breaks are part of the quotation.

Fock has major insertion point problems... I keep getting insertion points where they can't be and don't get them where I need them (like in text entry fields.) Sometimes it is there, but I can't see it.

So... I'm reading a couple of books for my Masters Degree and they both have those magazine-style text boxes in them. You know, the ones that help you when you are skimming through the magazine... they kinda higlight important points and are maybe a different color? However, in these books, ...
