    Singer Amy Winehouse found dead

    Woops, "rhetorical style". Not sure how that happened. Perhaps my point was lost in the typo - I did not expect a substantive response so I used a rhetorical style that did not encourage one.

    Singer Amy Winehouse found dead

    For the record, the many questions were not meant to be answered. They were a simple rhetorical too*. I may not post a whole lot, but I know better than to think I'll get a substantive response out of TroutBum. He's one of those people who seems not only content, but proud to be a ****ing...

    Singer Amy Winehouse found dead

    Do you believe that you, TroutBum, are worthy of judging who should live or die? Personally, I don't think any individual should be making such judgments. How was she a burden to society? She was certainly financially independent. She made money for record companies and sound engineers, not...

    Singer Amy Winehouse found dead

    Here's a couple articles with a more compassionate response to her death: First Second Both of these articles discuss the way we, as a society, treat those with addictions.

    Need A New Cell Phone

    I have a hard time getting used to Swype. Instead I use Swiftkey X, which has an unmatched prediction engine. It builds a personalized prediction database using your gmail, facebook, and sms history. It's definitely the best "traditional" virtual keyboard around.

    Need A New Cell Phone

    The vast majority of those features are software features of the Android operating system. You'll find them on practically any Android phone. This particular phone is running Android 2.1 (Eclair) which is really, really old. Almost all new phones run 2.3, while the majority of current phones...

    The Amazing Spiderman

    Pretty blatant Mirror's Edge rip-off. I disagree with Beantown about it seeming darker and edgier. I'm not sure whether that will be a good or bad thing, but I'd say it seems a bit less happy go lucky than the Tobey Maquire version.

    Would you vote for an atheist for President of the US

    Altering your lifestyle to lose weight and buying expensive cosmetics or plastic surgery is a wee bit harder than shutting the **** up.

    Netflix raising rates by up to 60% on 9/1/11

    I use one out at a time plus streaming, so 60% is no exaggeration for me. I only use the DVD to fill in the gaps of what's missing from the streaming library. I do agree about the cost per hour value. Especially since they've been actively improving the quality of the streaming content...

    How old are you?

    I feel like your post is missing a critical piece of information.

    Is my private message banned?

    Someone guessed that I might be a trout duplicate not too long ago. When I first started posting (on the old board, under a different name), I was accused of being a dupe, but the accuser was so sure he was right that he left it up to me to guess who I really was. But, I don't post much...

    Is my private message banned?

    My best guess is that the mods voted unanimously to commend Bronco on stating the obvious. Seriously, man. You're still whining.
