If you're using Chrome, the right column of this blog isn't displaying correctly. Switch to Firefox. If you're using the iPad, you're a tool. If you're using IE, go kill yourself.
(This person is kinda upset that I dissed their favorite browser. I actually use Chrome and I like it, but for some reason the layout here is different than on Firefox. And of course, the iPad and IE just plain suck. You tool.)

Hobson's choice

A Hobson's choice is one where you have no real option - you either take what's given to you or leave it.

The term has its origins from around the end of the 17th century, when a man from Cambridge named Thomas Hobson (not to be confused with Thomas Hobbes) ran a successful horse and carrier rental business but only gave each of his customers one choice of horse. Hence, Hobson's choice.
