"All hands, prepare for burrito blast!"

I would say that the primary purpose of the products that Ford and GM sell are for TRANSPORTATION. The fact that their cars even have an audio system at all is way down the list.

Linus developed the linux kernel, and it's obviously very important to him. He didn't like the version control system that he was using so he invented a better one (GIT). Perhaps this will encourage him to create a better, less "retarded" compiler.

The robot kinda looks like the keepon.

This reminds me of the Movie "Ransom" where a child is kidnapped, and held for ransom. The child's father turns the tables by offering a bounty on the kidnapper. Instead of giving money to one untrustworthy individual, you offer it to the public.

Glasses make me look smarter! I have a severe overbite and a large gap in my front 2 teeth. If it weren't for the fact that I wear glasses, I would look like an idiot.

A chromebook would run off of DC power, so the inclusion of an inverter would be a waste of technology. Why take the DC from solar cells and invert it to line-voltage AC just to rectify it again to the 12Volts and lower that a chromebook would use?

It's "Islanded-mode", not "islanded-more".

I see the problem. DVDs aren't supposed to be squeezed through your VPN. You should check you mailbox for them.

I believe there is an opening in a PR department somewhere for you.

Well, then send that mailer in! I have had 3 discs at the top of my queue labelled as "Very long wait" for TWO YEARS because of people like you and people you know.

Right. When comcast starts to get money from Netflix and maybe hulu, then what is the incentive for them to treat the consumers with respect?

I doubt that. Suppose after 7 minutes, the customer agrees to keep the service? Then you already have a pending deactivation in the queue, and the service would be cut, possibly BEFORE the customer hangs up. If the customer finds out that his service has indeed been cut even after agreeing to keep it, that would just give him more reason to cancel the service.

Or... You could just say two words: "Too Expensive". Comcast asked me why I cancelled my service 2+ years ago, and that's the answer I gave them. Apparently, they believed me, and I was a comcast customer for longer than 9 years before I cancelled.

Now here is the interesting part: Ryan Block is an internet celebrity, and his wife is Veronica Belmont, also an internet celebrity. I would not be surprised if Comcast had a note of this in his file, and that is why the rep was so adamant about getting a good reason from him. It's almost like Aquaman calling the local water works company and telling them that he doesn't want water anymore. They wouldn't believe him.

You can roll it up into a cylinder and then... Well, you get the idea.
