If you eat a treadmill, you get fat.
Treadmills are surprisingly low in calories, and very filling. Just remember to do your running before eating.

Yeah, no such thing as a diet. Thermodynamics is absolutely not a thing. You one of those fat fucks who loves having an excuse, no matter how nonsensical, to blame for your failures, or are you just stone cold fucking stupid?Awesome, thanks for this post! It's an accurate litmus test to determine when someone hasn't bothered to read the thread at all. It's like-- I dunno-- the perfect anti-shibboleth.
Oh hey, look at that. "Calories in/calories out" is the solution, which IS A FUCKING DIET, dickhead.
Sorry I didn't read enough of your muddled nonsense the first time to realise that your incompetence is in language rather than science.

It seems this is a new feature of (Mountain?) Lion, introduced with the trackpad, where it does make swipey sense.
My designo-coworker must have changed that option, then.
I've had OSX in a VM way way back (for Safari testing) and I assure you there was no reversed scroll direction.
Ah, OK. It's been a long time since I've used a mouse with OSX. I switch between the built in trackpad and a larger, more imposing trackpad. I just remember the trackpad change and the reaction of "This is so stupid, I'll never get used to oh hey, this is better".

the OSX move to switch scrolling up to move the page down (like you're pushing the page, rather than moving down in a very abstract sense)I have no idea what you're talking about. The scrollwheel on OSX behaves normally.
Touchpad gestures. Specifically two finger scroll acts like you're dragging the content around. The change was made in either Snow Leopard or Lion. Many people bitched, no one really cares anymore.

Followed by information that proves that yes, indeed, there's no such thing as a diet.

@_gaffer said:There's a lot of "Waah, it doesn't work the way it used to and new things scare me" going on because there's always a massive amount of inertia in changing interfaces, no matter how much better the new system might be.I am frequently irritated by this claim, because it completely ignores an increasingly common case: that the new thing has been changed solely for marketing reasons and is in fact quite substantially worse than what it replaced. If I whinge about a UI change, it's because it's been causing me grief, not because "new things scare me".
I'm not saying you're an idiot, just that the world has plenty of them, and often the dumber the louder. For example, there was much wailing and moaning over the OSX move to switch scrolling up to move the page down (like you're pushing the page, rather than moving down in a very abstract sense), but it took about 2 minutes to get the hang of, and feels more natural.
Yes, there are some changes just for marketing reasons, but that doesn't remove all the whinging malcontents complaining about any new fangled technology. Just look at the sheer number of mouth breathing tosspots who maintain that vinyl is "warmer", etc, when what they're actually pining for is poorer sound quality.

@morbiuswilters said:Skype on Linux is so terrible.Luckily you didn't get to use the Windows version. And talking about IM. Does any one have any fucking idea of how the fuck does Google Hangouts work? Am I too stupid to understand that shit?
Maybe. Ok, so Google+ (aka notFaceBook) had some multi-user chat stuff going on so you could, for instance, have half a dozen people you're working on a project with in one conversation (aka notIRC), with the ability to chuck pictures and other nonsense into the chat. Then they decided that not enough people were signing up to Google+ so they decided to thrust this stuff on everyone using regular chat.
Essentially it's subject based rather than contact based chat. A bit like conference calling, especially in that it's always annoying, generally serves no purpose, and is a confusing way to interact.
