- [deleted] 15
  - not Gates? -- nm - Beaker Jul 25, 11:48 14
    - Gates was always playing catch-up to the likes of Jobs - that's pretty much the opposite of being infuential - con_carne Jul 25, 11:50 12
      - Except that Gates's charitable work - and being so public about it, for awareness reasons - flies in the face of Jobs' apparent lack of charity -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 11:51 11
        
        yup -- nm - decline Jul 25, 11:53

        I don't know that it's had a broad impact on America. I think the "everyone uses Windows/Office" argument is better. - Roger More Jul 25, 12:07
        
        also xbox -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 11:59 1

- What the hell is that? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 25, 11:43 9
  - Not human. -- nm - David Jul 25, 11:43 8
    - If it's not human, it's not cheating! -- nm - what country shall I slander today? si Jul 25, 11:44
    - Okay, what relation does Not Human have to married people? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 25, 11:44 6

- ok. so let's say you have a spare car, and you loan it to close friends and relatives when their cars are dead. let's say that you always ensure to - world's most beautiful creature Jul 25, 11:45 31
  - Any time I borrowed a car, I always returned it with a full tank, no matter how much gas it had when I picked it. -- nm - ceregon Jul 25, 12:37
  - You said it - it's a courtesy. Not doing it is discourteous. - Dr.Vermin Jul 25, 12:00
  - siblings have a different few of this - I have found - Epiphany Jul 25, 11:53
  - not only return it with a full tank, but exterior washed and interior vacuumed as well. -- nm - CQ Jul 25, 11:49 7
    - the reason nobody is ever, ever allowed to borrow newton is that mike borrowed him and loaned him to his son, - world's most beautiful creature Jul 25, 11:52 4
      - not just that, there was also unauthorized off-roading. -- nm - Max Jul 25, 11:53 3

      - To the point, I wouldn't ask to borrow someone's car. I'd rent one -- nm - CQ Jul 25, 11:51
  - I don't really recall borrowing a car any time in the past decade. Not for anything major. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 11:48 1
    - I loaned my car to my sister in law once - didn't care about the gas, so I never checked. The parking ticket in the mail a few weeks later was amusing -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 11:49
  - Cars are not for loaning. - The Dark Spawn Jul 25, 11:48
  - Anytime I borrow a car, I return it full. -- nm - Jim Jul 25, 11:47 1
    - I do this plus wash it. -- nm - Max is a better car renter than you Jul 25, 11:48
  - not reasonable, but have you checked to see what interesting gifts they've left for you under the carpets? I mean, free condoms are free condoms. -- nm - Max Jul 25, 11:47 2
    - (not reasonable to return it in that condition. the grammar here is twisty) -- nm - Max Jul 25, 11:47
    - unless they're used -- nm - decline Jul 25, 11:47
  - said person should not be invited to borrow the car again -- nm - decline Jul 25, 11:46 9

      - The hypothetical borrower can go kick sand. - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 25, 12:06
      - stand your ground. said person should not even be allowed to look at the newton -- nm - decline Jul 25, 11:52
      - Enterprise picks you up! -- nm - CQ Jul 25, 11:52
      - is said person already a known repeat offender with marks on his dossier? -- nm - Max Jul 25, 11:51 3
