I seem to remember a time when Logitech had much more in the way of Bluetooth offerings, but it seems like they've trimmed their line of all but the bare minimum when it comes to Bluetooth.

In fact, I've been looking at Bluetooth mice on and off for a while now and I've been somewhat disappointed - many of the mice I used to see are no longer offered, with no real replacement options.

I read (paraphrasing):

"I can't afford it so I'll steal."

Which I knee-jerked to saying "How is that rating 'Insightful'?"

And then I had this flash that the same thinking is why the US economy is where it is.

When you steal/borrow what you can't afford, everyone loses in the long run.

Of course, that's an oversimplification of the respective situations ... but it was just weird how I went from "What you talkin' bout Willis?" to "That thinking is why the country is trillions in debt and my GFs retired parents might lose their house*" in the span of a second.

*(not because they borrowed too much, but because their retirement funds took a nose dive when everyone else borrowed too much)

No, the Red Spot shrinking is a sign that communism is failing.

Perhaps it's time to configure apache on my website to deny uk referrers and blacklist all uk addresses.

Bah, not like it gets a lot of traffic anyway ...

Coordinates? ;)

Okay ... I can't resist ...

Did you miss the joke? You said:

Which is why he made the "Bad memory" joke.

Take my wife, please!

(She's starting to smell and the neighbors are getting suspicious.)

You know, when it comes to Facebook, there's a twisting of the definition of "friend". Are those people "we hardly know" really "friends"?

As the tech guy for a Library who made the logon accounts for everyone, even the Graduate Assistants (many of which I could never put faces to names or even saw most of the time) would find me due to me being "friends" with a Library coworker. I've found it hard, really, to say "no" to any of these people ...

Add to that the Library staff (or worse, former staff) that I don't really like, that ask me for Friend status ...

If I ever won the Lottery (yes, I know, odds and all that) I'd be defriending so many people the next time I hopped on Facebook ... Oh, to have the money that would ease the guilt of being an asshole ...

See my post in response to a similar question above. What's a guy to do to help fix the country beyond working, staying out of debt (beyond my house), and paying his fair share in taxes?

You mean aside from holding down a job, paying off my house, maintaining ZERO debt beyond my house, willingly paying my taxes (only occasionally griping about *where* the money goes, not how much of it I'm paying)?

I don't know. What would one expect me to do?

How soon are you going to see it?

What exactly do you think is going to change?

For better or for worse?

I don't know. I'm just suddenly very pessimistic about the whole thing. Guantanamo is probably a step in the right direction ... but when you're talking about a journey (of a committee, mind you, since it's not just the president running the country), it's going to be so easy for steps in the wrong direction to occur.

Don't get me wrong. I'm an American. Proudly so. I voted for Obama. But I just wonder ... what, really, can he do? What will he do? And in the end, will most of us be happier about it?
