    "It's also helped by" is putting it mildly. I think I read on Slashdot that it was 20 seconds with a standard HDD and 10 with SSD. So, like half the story here is that SSDs boot faster?

    Why are you calling zero crapware and no Aero a non-real-world setup? I don't use Aero on my computer for performance, and I don't see why you would want crapware on your computer.

    My gf has an aromatherapy pack like this that can be heated or chilled. It's nice for relaxing and relieving aching muscles.

    @shamoononon has a hebetudinous dog: No, I never insulted the Uggs. The aromatherapy packs smell nice. Some are nasty and smell like wet dog (hebetudinous or otherwise) when heated so you gotta be careful. When you have a headache just heat one and lay it across your forehead and take a 10 minute nap. You'll feel much better afterwards..

    heh heh, I've yet to see a day under about 75 degrees and most are over 85. I need the freezable flip flops.

    My fireplace is useless.


    Anyhow, I doubt you can wear these things outside so I guess I don't have to mention that these are one step douchier than Uggs.


    I'd buy them.

    Being from the East coast it cracks me up when I visit the West coast and see women wearing these things. It makes me wonder what you'd do if it ever got really cold..?

    @Jrsy is the dude, playin' the dude, disguised as another du...: You do get aclimated to the weather however. I am from WA state where there is always plenty of cold weather, and just went to Big Bear last week and it was 18 degrees at night, so you can def. get cold once you become acclimated to the warm weather, the cold definitely feels cold for sure.

    Good hygiene and regular washing of house trotters should spare you the suffering of your microwaveable vittles from the futuristic present tasting like foot n' ass.
