An Ultrabook is just a macbook air knockoff

[Zod]

Except it's actually useful.

[Phantasee]

airs are pretty cool

they are as light as i would like a laptop to be

and with ssds they are snappy as hell

it feels like there is a bigger computer invisibly connected to it

[Phantasee]

anyway what the fuck is victory flavoured Jones Soda? i haven't seen anyone drink that in years now

it's like they fell off the face of the earth

They're even better without OSX.

Though I must say Win8 is a pain in the ass on a laptop. Four separate motions to turn off the bitch? Please. Win8 makes me miss the ease of Vista. Apple has a temp lead in the OS war. This from a guy who doesn't like Apple.

Lol so I'm reading a random old thread on TSW on SB right now

stories about the amazing American military literally killing Satan and literally dropping a nuclear weapon on Jesus.

So God [...] was killed by a song-powered, brothel-running archangel in a grand magic battle in the middle of Heaven.

I want to know where he was going to go after killing God in an epic rap battle.

GUYS EVEN AS YOU POINT HOW BAD IT IS UR MAKING IT SOUND WAY MORE ENTERTAINING THAN IT ACTUALLY IS

today a nice young man offered to inject nanotechnology into my bloodstream

I mean I had to turn him down because my system architecture already uses it but still

[Dooey Jo]

never accept cyberware from strangers on the street

"i sold my computer and bought a tab now what"

genuinely curious as to who actually said this or that tablets were the greatest at everything ever

many people do that. here's one i still had in my history

as for the second, i'm sure you can find that sentiment in comments all over the internet, but what i'm amused by is industry hype of the kind "tablets will completely replace laptops/pcs in 2-5 years says chart" and the people who join in

the same people who say game consoles will be replaced by smart tvs next year because they would be a crappier pc i guess? (or because they think people will replace their desktops with a tv/tablet combo?)

unfortunately also the same people who decide what games to spend development money on

Did you see when Red did that and dropped the mic in the most recent bit of Caretaker

[Dooey Jo]

Truly this is the year of Linux.

I still say : keep the basic premise, write it decently, and it would be an AWESOME story.

Maybe one day I'll work on that ? Could be amusing. Even as a beginner probabilities are high I'd manage to do at least marginally better

anyway what the fuck is victory flavoured Jones Soda?

it probably tastes like blood and sweat and gunpowder or something.

which is probably why nobody's drinking it.

because it's delicious and if you ever get the chance i highly recommend berry lemonade or strawberry lime

Ah, cool. I'll have to give it a try some time.

Say, do you like rum? Bacardi makes these premixed rum and coke cans that are pretty good. They may only make them in the summer though.

[Losonti Tokash]

i imagine the victory flavor is probably something like cream soda

and no, rum's never agreed with my stomach and if i drink it tends to just be vodka

[RyanThunder]

Oh, probably. It'd be funny though.

and no, rum's never agreed with my stomach and if i drink it tends to just be vodka

Ah, that's too bad. Are there any mixed drinks you're a fan of?

[Zod]

I find the clear rums a bit more agreeable than the brown ones.

I'm sticking with Windows 7. Unless they come out with "Win7 Mode" on 8 sometime.

[RyanThunder]

Have you tried the desktop?

[RyanThunder]

I'd like to take this opportunity to highly recommend chicken and/or beef schwarma.

its the shit

EDIT: holy fuckballs turnips are purple

[Aaron]

You can get yellow ones as well.

[Oxymoron]

EDIT: holy fuckballs turnips are purple

Haha, holy shit what ? Did you seriously just discover that ??

[RyanThunder]

I actually just thought it was funny.

and these ones always catch me off guard anyway, they're like neon purple.

[Oxymoron]

That kind of purple, or something else ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Turnip_2622027.jpg
