Sage advice. The sooner you learn to accept that your wife is always right, the better off you'll be.

Yeah, it was the LSAT. Stupid honor code cramping my hand before I have to take a 4 hour test.

Obama has that hooked grasp that looks so painful when he writes. It was most obvious when he was signing the various certificates right after inauguration. I tilt the paper so I don't have to bend my wrist in a weird way, but it causes an uneven slant to my writing not only as I "inch" along the paper but as I move the paper under my hand. My solution, starting in the 10th grade, was to type whenever possible. I was the first one anyone in my high school had ever seen taking notes on a Palm PDA.

When I use a whiteboard, I stop using my wrist all together and just use the arm and shoulder. Otherwise I wouldn't be able keep the side of my fist from dragging on the board.

I'm a lefty and was taught cursive as early as 2nd grade. Handwriting became my lowest grade semester after semester throughout grade school. With pencils and later ink, my writing would be smudged all to hell and my hand still cramps after only a paragraph's worth. I think the cramping has to do with having to inch my hand across the paper like a worm rather than sliding like a right-handed writer. By the end of high school, my teachers requested I start writing in print just so my in-class essays could be legible.

A couple months ago, I had to write a paragraph in cursive for an honor code and found that I couldn't remember how to print a few of the capital letters anymore.

Actually, because of Falcon4's comments, I am seriously considering a WHS system. Specifically, I'm looking at the HP LX195 because of the low power use. What helped push me over the line of reticence was his mention that you could run remote backups through Hamachi. This makes setting up a system of automated backups on our home's 5-7 systems so simple, I can't just leave it to chance anymore.

If this is as simple as you all are saying, all I'll have to do is make sure to do the additional backup to an external so that I can move it offsite every month.

I dunno about you guys, but I have a vault hollowed out into the nearby (mostly) granite mountain range specifically for my cuneiform tablets and root vegetables.

You mean a Bush appointee came in and went ahead with a plan of action based on a false set of data and discarded all alternatives due to some theoretical, but now disproven, threat to American lives? You don't say...

One of my favorite videos as well. Buzz did what we all wish we could do, punch a conspiracy theorist in the face. Also: "Lasers can't even penetrate our navigation shields. Don't they know that?"

Soooo, basically you're asking for NOLF3?

You and a lot of other people. (Including me.)

I've got a baaad feeling about this...

What? In Company of Heroes, you're just as able to repair your HQ as the AI is. Maybe you're playing one of the special gamemodes in ToV that might restrict your abilities (I wouldn't know, I just have the two previous iterations)? Or maybe you're trying to repair with the wrong unit?

Now either your talking about Friendly Fire. Which is in bad taste. Or your talking about turning on allies like Russia which is in only slightly better taste.

There is a third option: that he's talking about the US Army/Air Force routinely bombing the crap out of civilian targets we're supposed to be protecting and not getting too bent out of shape over it because it's just "collateral damage".

I'm also waiting for a replacement for my Tungsten T3 which practically crippled. A lot of Palm's success in the past was due to the app community, so I'm hoping that they will leverage that with the Pre. If this doesn't cover what I'm looking for, I might have to move on to Android.

Nope. Star Trek of the 1960s was on film and edited on film, making it easy to convert to HD -- e.g. just redo the effects.

Star Trek The Next Generation will be a little difficult because, after each episode was shot on film, it transferred to video for editing and effects. To do a remastering in HD, it will require redoing the editing and the effects -- possible, but will the cost be justified? I just hope that the costs get low enough that they eventually do DS9 in HD.
