  Re:

  Get a brain, will ya?
  
  While you're right about RunKeeper not selling sporting goods or sportswear, they run rings around Nike, Adidas, et al, in what they do.
  
  And while I'm pretty sure you're right that Nike doesn't get the bulk of its profits from an iPhone or Android fitness app, they did try to create one to compete with RunKeeper, and failed to keep up with them.
  
  Also, it's "Excel". One "l" at the end, not two.
  I've done tons of spreadsheets better than some that Microsoft has created, even if I used their template to do it. And why does the creator of the software make any difference? Do you think the people that build cameras take the best photographs? Those that build the tool don't always know how to use said tool.
  
  So your entire comment is just a mash up really ! it contains nothing of any note, it does not appear to make alot of sense or logic....

  Ummm
  
  No, they certainly are not right wing (conservative) by looking at their actions. It's exactly the opposite.
  
  As for Alastair McKenzie, open mouth, insert foot. If Chucky Schumer is right-wing then Rosie O'Donnell is a hot supermodel.

  That's just too damn funny. I'd like to get a copy of this conversion chart, but I don't live overseas anymore. And I haven't looked at a Trapper Keeper the same since the one on South Park tried to take over the world.

  And I suppose you would just have let them be? Yea, we all saw how that worked after the first WTC bombings, and all the other bombings before.

  Re: Re: Assad's Corruption is Extreme!

  Love love love it when you people want to blame Bush and company. Never mind that it takes Congress to approve it, and which party was in control of Congress back when this first started? That's right, it was the Democrats, by 1 seat thanks to a wishy-washy Jim Jeffords (R-VT) that went "independent" (which really means I lick my finger, hold it in the air and see which way the winds are blowing before I make up my mind. In other words, I have no opinion of my own) and then switched parties.
  
  So, if you want to blame anyone for going to war (it should be the terrorists that actually attacked us) then you need only look at the left side of the aisle in the Senate.

  Re: Re: Perfectly Simple Fix

  Yes! The startups are the children of the business world!
  
  Only $5k/day will keep a startup from dying and give it the necessary supplies it needs to fight off the patent virus. Picture the tiny building, bright windows shining with hope, as your donation helps cover it with the mesh netting that keeps the dreaded Lawyer Mosquito from biting.
  
  This young startup may grow up to be a monopoly one day, and it will be thanks to those that donate now to keep it alive in its infancy.

  Whistleblowers...

  Yea, Obama values whistleblowers, so that the administration can find out where the problems are. Once they pinpoint problem areas, they can now cover them up easier and discredit the aforementioned whistleblower.

  Re: Re: Re: "held hearings" = "Lobbying"

  good grief. can't they at least keep their stupid on their own side of the pacific?
  
  Actually, I wish we could ship our stupid out of America to some unwitting country, like say, Canada. It's close and they could all live in Nunavut, and if that's still too far south, keep moving them up to the Queen Elizabeth Islands or Ellesmere Island.

  Re: Re: Re: How bout some consistency Mike ?? Please.

  Darryl is insane. I've read his posts before and he does the very thing he accuses Mike of, which is "...something (anything) is good if it supports your mantra, but that exact same thing (anything) can be bad if it disagrees with your, what I consider to be a very narrow, self centered and biased world view."
  
  Seems like Darryl lives in that narrow, self centered and biased world himself.
