Please consult a qualified medical professional.
Perhaps we need a Buffistapsychology thread.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Make sure to uncheck the boxes that say "IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH" and "FREEDOM IS SLAVERY" in the preference pane, too.

Some tech writers believe you should go with the new prefs for about a week and if you still hate it, then change the pref pane.

It took me about a day to get used to the new scrolling direction. It makes sense in my brain now.

I was wondering about that. It's weird that my brain was going back and forth with no problems between the two styles. Human brains are pretty amazing, actually.

Someone noted on Facebook that today's date makes it Wifi Day: 8.02.11 (yes, there's an extra period in the date, but what are you gonna do?).
