I hear you can now purchase bitchiness offsets by being kind to children and animals . . .
So that's why Farrar appears to cut 'baiter et al so much slack.

there where wacom pads in the computer room. Nobody but myself ever used them, true story. lets hope it's only because I attended quite possibly, the most least prestigious in New Zealand, if not the world.
Jebus. Just having Wacom stuff in an educational institution sounds pretty prestigious. I mean, I all but sold an elderly relative's prosthetic device to get my first one. Once USB came along I'd realised that a small tablet is 95% as useful as a big one, and plays nicer with the keyboard desktop space, therefore heaps cheaper.
Prolonged periods of graphics-related mouse-clicking lead to chronic shoulder pain for me. Not with a stylus tho, it's all in the way you hold the pointing device. Photoshop more useful than a word processor for me, without the pressure/angle thing it feels flat and dead.

You should see me go. And I'm also really quick at the mouse. My to-do list has: learn to touch type, and investigate getting virtual secretary software.
Good luck to you. If the Great Architect of the Universe had meant us to be touch typists, tho, it would have given us three hands. Wacom since 1992 here. Happy to live out my days on planet point & click. They'll have to pry that pressure sensitivity from my cold dead paws.

Isn't there a better use for electrons than that?
Um - analysing the root cause(s) of Christian Bale's mega-hissy?

When was the last time anyone buying a movie ticket gave a shit who the Director of Photography is?
Seeing as you ask, Illustrious Energy. In 1987.

Sean Penn.
Which, of course, brings to mind that solid-gold Christian Bale tanty-related eggcorn unearthed by Giovanni: Pre-madonna.

I am sure many of you would be so much happier if Iraq was still going badly so you could screech “Told you so, told you so. Liar liar Dubya’s pants are on fire” at the top of your voices.
And all the while chanting the praises of Mao, Stalin, Castro, and everyone's favourite bogeyman, Kim Jung-Il.
Talk about straw people. What you lack, James, is even the most rudimentary level of imagination, the ability to understand that not everyone parrots some form of party line. While it's plainly beyond your limited comprehension, there are those who at least attempt to think for themselves. From such a standpoint, your supine sermons from the pulpit of a failed ex-president's rectum are downright laughable.

What is it about you lefties? There doesn’t seem to be a murdering tyrant or Marxist you don’t love, admire and whose ass you don’t want to kiss. Saddam, Castro, Che, Mao, Stalin, never heard a leftie say a bad word about the Marxist nut in Pyongyang who has starved millions to death. And you think of yourselves as the nice guys. Bizarre.
Gotta hand it to Giovanni, that measured tone, always somewhat strained and constipated, couldn't last. Leftie . . . leftie . . . the inevitable slide into Rushian baby-talk. Let's Limbaugh some more - how low can you go?
But I’d much rather own that than having effectively supported the continuation of one of the worst regime’s in human history, or handing the country over to a bunch of head hacking psychopaths. Every one of you who have opposed the undertaking own a piece of that. You might not like it, or be intellectually honest enough to admit it, but that is the truth.
Teetering atop the moral high ground, hold that pose, grab a snapshot, quick, or better still, call a taxidermist. Set against the backcloth of history it might go some teensy way towards offsetting the Rummy/Saddam handjob photo-op.

Why, just the other day I was on the train platform, welcoming my daughter.

What a dipstick morobar. like to see you try that with a real man. When we meet face to face we see who likes relativity. Do'nt think your so smart mr pixie caramel. As Descartes said, le kiwiland, c'est un disgrace.
