Spot on. Please, help spreading the work of Robert Adair, he's got papers on both ELF and cell phones. One of them is found here: http://pra.aps.org/abstract/PRA/v43/i2/p1039_1 There's one about cell phones too, he basically disproves the whole thing using thermodynamics and simple, fundamental physics arguments. It's more thorough than waving your jedi hand and saying "non-ionizing", too.

More relevant I'd say.

No. Where I live (outside the US - yes, such a place exists) there is no unemployment (to speak of). People are going for more and more education here, too. For that reason, I don't buy the "economic downturn" argument.

Miss Texas at 12:20. Not the worst one, in fact.

No. At least not with an older, worn automatic. With the clutch you get centimeter (inch?) precision, but with an automatic you rev the engine until it suddenly jumps backwards. At least on a 1995 Ford Mustang. Oh, and manual transmission in hills is easy - you just have to learn it.

Try backing up in an uphill doing some tight parking maneuver. Yes, that happened to me, in the US (San Francisco) last week. Oh, and I live in Scandinavia, so +1 on the icy point, too. The road doesn't even have to be steep.

I have a macbook pro, and the suspend feature is amazing. I never need to turn it off. I have no idea either why people reboot, outside of core OS updates.. But hey, more features, woot.

Available, in the same way that most people have available a fork to put into their eyes. At least on my install, I can't jump backwards or forwards in videos. "Rich user experience" my posterior. Everything microsoft touches on the mac turns into a fetid pair of dingo's kidneys.

I know you're honest. You can't have been a facebook user for more than one night :) They'll reset and modify your settings soon enough, young one.

You need to be modded up and start a project. I have been thinking along similar lines. I would think you could make a filesystem which would let you "tag browse"; i.e. as an alternative to browsing directories, one would browse tags instead. Probably you could even do it without making a new filesystem implementation. By the way, lots of metadata already exists (that I think are portable): PDFs can have their creator specified, EXIF data on JPEGs and so on. Just creating a general unix/linux/mac(/windows through cygwin?) variant of locate that would search metadata on the command line would be awesome (and could be the foundation of a GUI tool or two).

It is called a file system. You can put it on Dropbox, Jungledisk, or even better, use unison for synchronization. Use folders to group files together. Use filenames to remind yourself what the content is. Use file suffixes to show the file type. To search, use spotlight or mdfind on OS X, locate on linux, and... go kill yourself on windows (disclaimer: I've only tried the search function on XP and older windozes). Metadata works great with spotlight; I don't know any solutions to that on linux or windows, but someone else probably does.

I know several people who have android 2.2+ phones, and theirs had wifi tethering out of the box. 3G network in, wifi tether out. If it isn't working "out of the box", someone removed it from the box.

I think the explanation is simpler: Sara Palin hired someone to do it for her.

Oh god I want to go there and "ask a missionary" about the missionary position. I'm sorry, I can't help myself.

You should trust statistical mechanics, yes. If the RMS electromagnetic fields inside cells are orders of magnitude stronger than the fields emitted from a cell phone, then you can neglect them. It's like worrying about the UV radiation from a household fluorescent light source 100 meter away, when you're standing butt naked on the beach in the sunlight. You don't need to know much cell biology to understand those principles.
