Wow this is pure genius totally explains why I can't get through to others.

"There is nothing voters hate more than having things explained to them as though they were idiots."
For Mr Westen, stories always trump statistics, which means the politician with the best stories is going to win: "One of the fallacies that politicians often have on the Left is that things are obvious, when they are not obvious.

For example this morning my mom was like we need to get to the bank by noon before it closes and I said no I just checked online and it doesn't close until 1 pm.
Then my older sister butts in and says her boyfriend also says they close at 12.
Okay so we show up to bank and right on the door it says it closes at 1 pm as I already knew.
So I tell my mom after I leave the bank and she just says oh well at least we'll know for next time -- DOH!!!

Why you should've been running 64 bit Windows like yesterday already

One of questions we are always getting around here is whether you should get 32 or 64 bit Windows 7 and I always recommend 64 bits myself.
Anyways, here's another example of how 64 bit Windows is more secure and also explains why some games that use 16bit installers don't work anymore:
Windows plagued by 17-year-old privilege escalation bug
A security researcher at Google is recommending computer users make several configuration changes to protect themselves against a previously unknown vulnerability that allows untrusted users to take complete control of systems running most versions of Microsoft Windows.
