It would be more accurate to say it was destroyed by neglecting to proofread in your desire to get a first post.

Interesting enough, I had three (non gift) packages scheduled for FedEx delivery today (Thursday) that showed up Tuesday. My apologies to three of you for the delaying of your gift arrivals.

This is something I really never though of before. Perhaps in the future I'll delay any non seasonal orders I plan on making two weeks or so before Christmas, until afterwords. Or order early, if I know I'll need something.

Yeah, if you're a preschooler used to the Mattel "My First" line of big button crap, or have poor motor skills and/or hand-eye coordination.

Isn't this why there's rent control in N.Y? They should be protesting the property and business owners for raising prices to gouge the higher paid newcomers. It's not the tech companies fault their employes are being charged more, nor is it the tech employes fault your landlord raised your rent in order to get you to move out so he could gouge said tech employee for even more.

Until the sprinkler systems malfunction, or there's a real fire and the original documents are destroyed.

That's a victimization term now? So 99.999% of the entire global population over the age of 3 are now classified as a victim.

Another way to sell us yet another cable to replace one we already have that works just fine.

It's not easy to pug the connector in upside down, so if someone forces it in in the wrong direction and breaks it, it's not the fault of the connector.

It's not imposible to purchase ethanol free gasoliene, it's just not easy to find. There are two gas stations that sell "pure" gasoliene around here. I do live 10 miles from a recreational lake, however, so the demand is greater than most places.

Wouldn't that only apply if MS made an Android office app, and Google was preventing the user from installing it?

I don't see how it could be considered antitrust to create something that competes with nothing.

Yeah, I realized that just as I clicked the post button...

I purchase from venues like Amazon because I live in a town of ~10,000 with a Wal*Mart Supercenter, Walgreens and two grocery stores, not to avoid taxes. There is nothing else within 30 miles of me.

He's a Jehovah Witness. He stuck his head in a box and it came to him.

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with these companies? They use Free/Open source software and/or hardware to build things, then don't offer the controlling or interactive software to those of us using the same damn OS on our desktops that's used in the thingyMaBob. Get the fuck out of Visual Basic, C# or what ever toy development environment you're using for cross platform, and use a real cross platform library. Qt will do all three platforms, and AFAIK, all it takes is a recompile to get it one of the others. And I'm sure there are other true cross platform libraries out there as well.
What cross platform development library are they using that is so frigging awesome, you have to leave out the Linux's? Fuck, if nothing else, use Java.

So this thing was flying along side the space station and the astronauts snatched it up and stuck it on the docking port. All lewd innuendoes aside, the Cygnus spacecraft didn't do anything other than match orbits. Not that I think matching orbits like that is a trivial ting, but it a hell of a lot easier to do than actually docking. Commercial satellite companies put objects in precision orbits all the time.

<Nitpicky Joe> Actually, no you're not. You're playing GTA with your phone, not on your phone. That's like saying you're playing GTAV on your XBox controller. In this case, your phone is the controller and display only. All processing (the with vs on portion of this argument) is still done by the computer, thus you are playing GTA on your computer with your phone. </Nitpicky Joe>
