Maybe he works for Nvidia and that's how this mess got started?

No kidding. I'm surprised there aren't foot pedals to access the extra mode keys.

And you can forget about converting my iphone using wife. She's laughing her ass off.

Apple has done this too and will probably happen to her if she has the phone for a while. I still remember a major iOS update making my old 3G slow & unusable and breaking bluetooth.

Lucky you, mine times out all the time and thinks it's not connected to the internet. Then voila, 25 seconds later it seems to have connectivity.

It helps if you do an "emerge --sync" first!

Changing your daily habits permanently is the way to go. I always overhear conversations saying someone lost weight and it came back right away. Well sure, they fell back into their old habits!

A $700 smart phone is, too. Here in .us, a lot of the price is buried in your 2-year contract, so people see it as a $200 smart phone.

My phone is getting old now, and I was thinking about replacing it. I'm on an older cell phone plan that [right now] is cheap considering what I get. I found out that if I want a new phone under contract I have to go to one of the "new" plans, and if I want to keep the same service level I have now, is $50 a month more. Add to that I still have to pay $200 upfront for the phone. The terms are all 24 months now, so that means that $700 phone actually costs $1400.

When my phone finally goes I'll just buy one outright.

I was wondering if he could restore to a save point when something doesn't work...

Well, at least it has PowerShell. Heck, now it's only 23 characters to change a directory? Who wants to go back??

ChangeDirectory -Please <Directory>

Speaking of cassettes, I still remember the clunk/click when I shut my car off. My new (at the time) Pioneer cassette player in my car had a key-off pinchroller release to prevent the tape from getting frozen to the head.

My old VCR while rewinding:

*click*whirrrrrrRRRRR-squeaksqueaksqueak-whirrrr-thunk-whiRRRRRRRRRRRRRSNAP*

Lost a few tapes to that one.

Evian is a bottled water brand here. Read the word backwards, I don't think that's a coincidence...

Well, considering that this part of the thread started with me posting, and I'm replying to someone who commented on one of my posts in order to clarify my intentions, I'm not sure why you are upset.

I'd much rather take the advice of someone who knows what he's talking about, not some random person on the internet capable of posting links.

I have high blood pressure, I was told by my doctor to reduce salt to lower blood pressure. Doc figures it can be controlled without meds, and I'd much prefer that to popping pills.
