Trekkies are probably used to that. Hell, that's probably the metric that defines their level of success.

Well, yeah, if Han Solo is teaching you how to convert units I guess it is.

Yup. Smartphone and Ipad users are being trained to type on touch screens so this will naturally be aimed at them. Can't stand typing anything on touchscreens myself, I needs me some tactile feedback, but there's another generation of kids who never watched Star Trek TNG that are going to be able to actually use smooth glass panels for input.

I almost envy them.

Almost.

Haha, yup. Same here.

I was honestly lazy.

It's the encapsulation of the articles and content. Think paywall. It gets around the nasty "open, advertising only" internet without the nasty fist shaking that us spoiled in our freedom webusers have come to expect/demand because we expect magazines to cost and we expect apps to cost too!~

Oh they are sneaky, those marketing types.

And that's different from your parents basement in LA how? /profiling

Where it will therefore become public domain!

Rule 30: A little trust goes a long way. The less you use, the further you'll go.

I think it's interesting to compare it with 3 years ago:

Boy, where's Pizza analogy guy when you need him?

(Homemade Pizza vs. frozen deliscio crap)

It doesn't matter how many threads are in my sheets, whether my pillow is made of lumpy cotton or the mattress is a combination of rocks and hay, when I'm tired, I'll sleep on it.

BUT! I have to have white noise in the room, particularly fans. Middle of winter, I'll have a fan on at the foot of my bed. And I have to experiment, but I suspect having my head pointed north and feet south seems to have an effect too. A couple months ago I switched back to this after 6 months of the other direction and I'm sleeping good again.

I dunno, my experience.

So, the government drove private enterprise out of the slow mail delivery business and into the fast mail delivery business?

You know, I like this analogy even more.

My brother successfully fought a DUI by proving that he was locked out of the car and thus, could not have been driving. The fact that he was trying to get in his car doesn't mean anything, he was not driving it (maybe he wanted to get the case of beer out of the back seat to take back in the house, who knows.) So to answer your question: Yes, if the cop is an idiot and you were arrested for something you didn't commit, you can be innocent. I can't say if there is something better he should have been caught for, but that is what was claimed at the time.

That's not to say that I'm not happy the cop made sure he didn't drive. Just his method of going about it was wrong.

Now he's building lunar landers and other neato stuff.

Maybe he grew up?

I just hope those websites don't go down with the sinking ship. For as big of a pile of bloated shit AOL is, they're examples of the couple of things that are actually decent within that company.
