Sadly, no new A-10s have been made since the mid-80s. I'm not against keeping the A-10 around, but to do so effectively requires re-starting long-dead production for planes and parts, which is no small - or cheap - matter.

Dwindling? CITATION NEEDED.

They do not like anything that winds up with them selling fewer electrons. They don't even like cogeneration. When I was a reporter, writing about the electric industry about ten years ago, at the time the industry was saying they would help large businesses implement cogeneration to achieve greater efficiency, I learned about the "cogen killers" - people working for the electric producers who would on the sly, go and pressure large businesses to NOT implement cogeneration. This industry is rife with this kind of thing, so I would suggest you take anything one of their PR people says with a gigantic grain of salt, and then start following the money.

Inbox is a merge of Gmail with Google Now. I'm hoping they add Keep functionality to it. If they do that, I'll probably switch over full-time.

Note: "Scotland"

I don't predict that will be a problem for the locations they're likely to be planning on. :)

Just keep that famous saying in mind, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a cheesy special effect." This even happens with nature - ever seen an aurora or a video of one? It looks like really shitty CGI, but it's real. *shrug*

I had forgotten how featureless the stock launcher is. Gads. I feel crippled. I also really liked CyanogenMod's Privacy Guard feature.

I will not miss the bugs of CyanogenMod, though, that's for sure.

I'll be searching for a replacement launcher ASAP. Any recommendations? I used to use ADW back in my Gingerbread/Froyo days...I'll have to see if it's been updated for Lollipop/ART.

You used the phrase 'despite knowing' but I think you meant to say 'because'. Obama has a very bad habit of appointing foxes to guard the henhouses. I voted for him twice myself. It's not like his opponents would've been better, though. *sigh*

Yeah, my books didn't have any pictures _at all_! :(

Catching up to Chrome 1.0 ... eventually! :)

I'm hoping for a return to the Netscape Navigator v3 interface, myself.

Animal models are SUPER-thin and pout a lot.

Just like your every spoken word on your cellphone and computer microphone goes to Microsoft, Apple, and/or the NSA.

I'm pretty sure "Episode VII' tells you everything you need to know. :)

Good thing these can be used outside of Boston, eh? How do you like DEM apples?
