I'm looking to buy a new phone in a few months. My current Nokia 6300 has lasted for almost 3 years, and is beginning to act a bit weird at times.
I had a look at the Nokia N900 a few days ago and was amazed at the price compared to the specifications and the price point of other smartphones. Qwerty keyboard, 800x480 display, Maemo 5.
Here in Denmark I can buy a new and unlocked for 375 EUR, though I'm tempted to find a used one on eBay -- the price there starts around 200 EUR for a slighty used.

Sorry man, that's not a highlight. It's a link.
I, uhm.. think you may have missed out a bit on the Internet. Here, I'll give you a link to start with: http://www.bing.com/ -- happy binge!

Besides, the mentioned "bullshit" was half way into his post. If you just read the first few words, I think he's happy.

Right click menu bar, "customize", drag address bar to menu bar.

Another pro tip: the "start" button in Windows is not just for starting programs -- there's also an option for shutting down Windows!

...although I guess it depends on what limbs they're missing.

I know that there are demonstrations in some locations around Europe, but calling them "riots", that's a bit of a stretch.
I'm in Denmark. Even if my backyard covered Sweden, Norway, Finland and Germany I haven't heard about any events that would qualify as a riot.

If NY cab drivers stop working in protest of something, is that a riot as well? A riot across the USA?

Note that the AP "blurp" doesn't even call it riots, only protests.

I think you need to adjust your smell-o-vision -- sounds like something has burned out.

No riots where I'm at.

As the AC parent sibling is getting at, just explain them it's really made of tubes, and try to avoid any questions about why postage around the world still takes at least a few days, "when I can play Farmville with my cousin in China in seconds".

A better analogy is water pipes. Bandwidth is width (the bigger, the bigger throughput), latency is pressure (the higher, the faster "it" travels).
Of course, this being /., your almost-car analogy is probably better suited.

Better yet: Make it compressed headerless video. Claim you're recording Uranus.

From the summary:

From the article (sorry, Instructable):

I guess it was just too hard to copy/paste two prices.

The article is just as bad. I mean, this is Carnegie Mellon University. How's this for science:

Oh, so your sensors "seem to work fine". Here's a quote from the datasheets:

No calibration whatsoever. Dumbasses.

I hope these wankers create an air pollution scare and the local population starts wearing gas masks to defend themselves from horrendous air quality because the people who'll build this kind of thing has no clue, follows the Instructable without question and makes the same mistakes as the UNI-FUCKING-VERSITY people.

Why don't you digitalise it and put it on archive.org for archival for future generations?
I'm certain you'd be able to do it anonymous in some way...

I'll thank you in advance just in case you do it: thanks!

Found the Wikipedia article on the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird after reading your comment (last paragraph in "Titanium structures and airframe"):
"To allow for thermal expansion at the high operational temperatures, the fuselage panels were manufactured to fit only loosely on the ground. Proper alignment was only achieved when the airframe heated due to air resistance at high speeds, causing the airframe to expand several inches. Because of this, and the lack of a fuel sealing system that could handle the thermal expansion of the airframe at extreme temperatures, the aircraft would leak JP-7 jet fuel onto the runway before it took off. The aircraft would quickly make a short sprint, meant to warm up the airframe, and was then refueled in the air before departing on its mission. Cooling was carried out by cycling fuel behind the titanium surfaces at the front of the wings (chines). On landing after a mission the canopy temperature was over 300 C (572 F), too hot to approach. Non-fibrous asbestos with high heat tolerance was used in high-temperature areas.[20]"
