Annual pass? I'm pretty sure no cinemas in my area (in the USA) will do that... where are you?

Otherwise, paying a flat rate for a phone you never use to save a good bit on cinema tickets sounds like an excellent idea.

docx? I don't think so. IANAL, but a friend who IAL suggests that many courts in Pennsylvania at least require filings to be made in PDF.
This really makes sense because PDF is an open format and it's harder to modify after receipt than a Word file.

Is anyone else thinking "selection bias"?

How can Twitter users be a representative sample of the public as a whole? And I don't even want to think about issues with geographical context...

Agree 100%. Last September Verizon mailed me an LG Voyager - all the moisture sensors were ruined before I even opened the box.
This humidity is *exactly* why I don't buy phone insurance - Verizon will always claim that my phone was wet.

Bing will become Yahoo's default search engine.
I think I just cried a little...

I have had similar experiences with TigerDirect. I recently bought a Nokia n810 Internet Tablet from TD, but only because they beat all other prices via an email ad (which I usually just throw away).

Yes, I do usually ignore TD and buy at Newegg, but the device is pretty much an appliance and reading the details sheet was not a refurb, so what could they possibly do to screw it up?

Mod parent confused!
While the Boston College PD likely consists of real police officers, the link you have given refers to the police at Boston University, which is a totally different institution.

It is very easy to confuse colleges in Boston considering that there are about 25 of them ( http://education-portal.com/number_of_colleges_in_boston.html )

Another leftie here...
I never use the mouse on the left and switching the button layout seems like an awkward hassle.

Maybe I'm not used to it because I tend to use public computers where admins would disapprove of re-arranging.
I'm just so used to the regular right-handed mouse and don't know any lefties for aren't.

Believe me, my 'ethics' would not prevent me from accepting the AT&T subsidy and breaking the contract.
It is time for free choice of carrier for the iPhone.
I would gladly have a contract, but please let me choose the company (and maybe even CDMA).
