I've seen multiple posts here mentioning these checkups. The way you guys are talking, it seems they are mandatory. Is that the case? When I buy my Tesla, the dealer will never see the car again- not even virtually through its various telemetry radios.

No and you know it. He means has more features because those are what are cool. I don't give a shit if the phone physically looks "fashionable" but, like any tool, it needs to have the options, sensors, software, and whatnot that makes it the right tool for the right job. You wanna take a pot shot at Fandroids but you Apple apologists are just as bad. Now watch my karma tank cause I pointed this out.

Underpants Gnomes realized stealing underpants didn't actually result in 3)Profit! so they've now begun stealing cellphones. They can't get good signal in the basement so it isn't surprising they'd be under your deck. I suggest you spray for gnomes.

I really should proof read, but now that I see my mistake, I like the change! Please reference an IED suing a cellphone. I'd probably use coercion, entrapment, or extortion as the defense!

when they need it, they really need it without delay.

Could you please give me a scenario where someone gets their phone stolen and needs to have its ability to dial out disabled as fast as possible, preferably within minutes of the act. Please be creative. Somehow indirectly referencing Jack Bauer, an IED suing a cellphone as a trigger, and that dun-dun noise from Law and Order will score extra points. GO!

Not sure if you're serious but I am-- I AGREE! This will sit [sic pun intended![pun of sic also intended]] a terrible precedent that I won't stand for! It's just an excuse to buy fewer chairs and pack us in more literally like sardines. When I see the CEO lacks a comfy chair I might change my mind, but until then I shall stand with you, toe to toe, a pair of sole mates if you will, against this odoriferous fungus-like rot that is taking over corporate America!

I can't agree with you more!!!! Does your company not have mandatory Japanese-inspired stretching/calisthenics sessions at the start of the shift? Ours does and I typically just stand there staring at them like the retarded apes they are. If I wanted to exercise then I'd go exercise.

When did the Amish start using the Internet?

Thanks for your insight, Dr. Cooper. How's that String Theory working out for you?

I, for one, welcome our 4-armed, 8ft tall, green babes!

I don't think it is unrealistic, the guy I replied to did. That's why it needs to happen no matter the hurt. Rip that band aid off already! Bitzstream's response though is quite correct. The insurance leeches have to be dealt with. The only "voluntary" way to get them to comply is buy them off. Looks like ACA might be just that but it is still better than what we had.

No need to kid. I believe it is time to nationalize the healthcare system, no matter how realistic that may or may not be. I think we could just shovel money from the back of a pickup truck burning whale oil and still come out cheaper.

Fear not (though if anybody is actually reading this you'll get a 100 "don't do it" responses). Isobutane also known as r600 is available in many blends but it keeps getting harder to find since a flammable refrigerant is illegal in the US. This is the brand I use.

They aren't even hiding the costs anymore. I got a bill today for $201 for a cloth arm sling! That thing cost a Chinese dude less than a dollar to make. What a racket!

and more ligthing being installed in general.

AC reading comprehension fail!
