So, looking over the OTC, I have to say I'm somewhat disappointed. I was expecting amusingly asinine arguments, sexist homophobic transphobic bigots, and constant flame wars.
Instead, I find a bunch of relatively civil if somewhat one sided discussion. What a bore.

I'd love to, but my priority is Discworld at the moment. I still have to read The Wee Free Men, Wintersmith, A Hat Full of Sky, I Shall Wear Midnight, Snuff, and then finish the remaining 180-ish pages of Carpe Jugulum. All by December 31.

Then just read a few books. I recommend Guards! Guards!, The Color of Magic, or The Last Hero (this one has a few gags that you won't get without reading the other books, but it's a great introduction to how the Discworld works.).
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."

When I was a lad, I ate four dozen eggs every morning to help me get large.

CA, how is that tablet working out for you, by the way?
I'm asking because my 12-year-old niece is bugging my mom about getting her a laptop and she already has an iPad. I know nothing about pads or tablets, but I'd think that if she already has a iPad, what would she need a laptop for? I'm thinking maybe it's because she wants to be on a computer at the same time mom is and there's only one computer in the house (plus her iPad) and I don't know.
Mom's bugging me about it because the niece wants a macbook or something too expensive and I'm not trying to be a grinch here but mom's budget is feeling the pinch this Christmas too.
Honestly, most of what I do with a computer is web browsing, listening to music, and a few online videos--all things the tablet handles really well.
The only thing I feel it's not very suited for is extended text entry--word processing, composing lengthy emails, stuff like that. The onscreen keyboard is great if you want to make just a few quick forum posts, but not so great if you're trying to compose an essay.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very red nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it's red
All of the other reindeer
Had noses that were much less red
They never let poor Rudolph
Forget his nose was rather red!
Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say,
"Rudolph, with your nose so red
You'd probably be better off dead!"
Then Rudolph had enough, man
He got some plastic surgery
And the only thing that made him a unique individual and not another face in the crowd
look at those high quality graphics oh man the realism is intense.
Actually, the shit that programmer were able to squeeze out of the C64 in regards to graphics is pretty amazing. However, it's the SID soundchip that everyone really remembers.

I remember back in...January, I think? Sometime early this year...I made a phone call (to an office I visit weekly, no less) and the receptionist called me "ma'am".
As you can imagine, this made me smile, even though I couldn't figure out why it happened.

Does editing the Windows registry to enable different fonts in the Command Prompt make me a dork?

Boi go read something less awful. Like [Gravity's Rainbow]! :D
