Sigh. She went to the airport. What did she think would happen if she refused to use the scanners she knew were there? http://www.flyertalk.com/the-gate/blog/12019-andrea-abbott-revisited.html

A nice long airplane book!

I find a new home elsewhere for every paper book that I replace with a digital copy. Getting rid of unneeded "stuff" makes life so much better!

Except for the sorting. Sorting on ratings is very important. You can still do it on DVDs but not on streaming video. I was sufficiently irritated that I phoned tech support and asked how I can turn sorting back on. The gal was very nice and promised to forward my views to the developers. She said they'd been taking calls for days complaining about the new interface. It has to cost Netflix oodles of money if their tech support people are constantly dealing with complaints about their broken interface.

It's not your problem if someone mis-addresses an email. Eventually, if you keep deleting them, the sender will figure it out.

Still there for me. Not that I need it with Adblock Plus, but still..

What did he spell incorrectly? You're not getting all twisted over the American/British spellings of organi(s|z)e, are you?

FEDEX doesn't bother ringing the doorbell. I've had them basically trip over my car in the driveway so they could walk to the door and stick their sticker on it, when I was inside. Never do they bother to ring the doorbell.

My cell phone provider doesn't send me text alerts after I turned off texting on my account because I was getting $0.20 random crap text. It wouldn't bother me to get the occasional alert from Verizon when there's a legitimate reason, but not at the expense of paying for text spam.

Yawn. I'm an ordinary working person and I have a small (by McMansion standards) house covered with solar panels. And I drive a car that gets 34 mpg. I don't care a bit what gasoline costs ($8-10/gallon would be fine, to encourage SUVs off the roads) and I like not paying for electricity. And the 75% of the cost of my panels covered by various government entities subsidized my panels from other *electric* customers, not gasoline taxes. You too could invest a paltry $15K to avoid electric bills for the rest of your time in your house, ordinary working person though you might be..

Pride is a sin in the context of your special delusional mythology. Don't speak for me, idiot.

Or perhaps Sprouticus discovered *after the trial* that the guy was guilty.
