RUFKM?

Do you even have a current BB phone? I do, and I hate it with a passion, but I'm stuck with it because it's all my company supports for corporate email.

Battery life? half a day if I'm lucky.

Usability? It freezes for minutes at a time.

Apps? Really? Have you compared to any other platform like Android or iOS?

Talk about astroturfing... you're doing it pretty well.

(no, I have no affiliation with RIM whatsoever, besides being hampered by having one of their crappy devices - the 9960)

Actually, chain mail would probably do pretty well against tasers... Conducting the charge instead of letting it go through your body. :)

Isn't the figure that 1 in 10 people is LGBorT? Including LGBT content won't "turn kids gay"... you either are or aren't. What it does do is accept the reality of our world, and provide acceptance for people that might otherwise still live horridly stressful closeted lives.

It's simple... if you don't agree with homosexuality, then simply DON'T shtoop people of the same sex as you! Denying that LGBT people exist and are part of our culture/norm isn't going to change facts.

>>Then some people flew some planes into some buildings and we all lost our collective shit.

No, it was happening well before that. 9/11 just gave them a reason to accellerate it, and to increase their budget for doing it.

Ever heard of Echelon? http://www.scribd.com/doc/49552147/ECHELON-Surveillance-Program (written in 1999/2000)

I believe if you rub the nylon knittin' needle against the teflon one, one will become positively charged and the other negatively charged. I'm not sure which one is shedding the electrons and which is picking them up, but that's the reason. I'm guessing that the nylon one gains electrons, and teflon donates them.

He's transferring the charge from the needle to the droplets, then they're orbiting the oppositely charged needle due to electrostatic attraction. (the needle wants its electrons back, basically).

Those samples were from an LX1... which suffers from very poor noise. It's the reason I upgraded to the LX5 (plus the wider 24mm lens, vs. 28mm on the LX1)

I'm an ex professional newspaper and sports photographer... and my main camera is the LX5 too... quality is amazing, leica lens, 24mm wide angle, HD video, low noise, good screen.

DSLR is great, but it's a pain in the butt to carry around. Unless you go out SPECIFICALLY to take pictures, something like the Lumix LX5 is more than enough. There's a great blog post on this:

I bought four 2TB Samsung drives from Newegg, just a couple days after the floods started. They had been a few dollars cheaper still, but I got them for $80 each. Since then, they peaked at $249 each, but are back down to $199 now.

>> I wonder if anyone is up for conducting a large-scale clinical trial to show the low-level employees that these devices are hazardous and that they too should be against them.

You mean based on reports like this?

Apparently I have issues creating valid acronyms too... :) Still, the description is accurate even if the acronym isn't.
