Slashdot is at the top of my RSS reader in the tech folder, BA is after it in the science folder- I saw this article and thought to myself, "Huh, I wonder what Phil is gonna say-" then BAM, first comment on slashdot.

Nice.

Clarence Thomas? He was a pretty heavy swing to the right if I recall correctly.

"Dear Mr. Politician,
If you think it's a waste of money, join me for one of the proposed workouts. If, after an hour of 'playing' you still feel it has no value, I will drop my claim."

I think a few rounds of yoga to limber him up, a quick 7 minute run to get the blood flowing, then some strength training... that should take care of the issue.

Oh, so we should use the same system that we use to select juries?

What could possibly go wrong?

I switched jobs in December and had to get my own phone for the first time in 3 years. Started with Sprint, ended up on Verizon due to the shitacular coverage and service from Sprint. If you're interested in a comparison of the Samsung Moment vs. Motorola Droid, here's my writeup:

Story is not completely clear, at points saying dropping support completely. Which is a bad idea, Handbrake is just a transcoder, the more formats it has, the better. Only in dreamland does will the whole world pick one or even just a few formats. So frustrating to get a video file and realize the Solika encoders picked a seemingly obscure codac that your editor/writer can't handle, being assured that the codac is faster, better and smaller isn't much of a consolation

Dropping it as just a output formant is a little different.

Yup, I live in Melb (sorry, not going to say the town I work in), but all Sensis Yellow/White pages, as well as the car sized phone books and directories go through where I work... the racks are full of them, my desk is in the warehouse and I can see them right here from my desk. Small world mate! :)

This isn't really a case of "the grass is always greener..". That would be everyone assuming that other companies are better than theirs. This is a case of everyone realizing they all suck.

filthy rich guy implies a trophy wife.

trophy wife is probably incompatible with our preferred decor.

Even a typical standard issue wife is borderline incompatible with my typical guy collection of ham radio gear, metalworking tools, electronics stuff, and computer parts. More, or higher class, versions of the same stuff would be even less wife approved. I may feel a full size professional grade SMD hot air rework station with a shelf full of accessories would be a vast improvement over my old traditional soldering station, but most female "interior decorator wannabes" would disagree. This coming from a guy whom thought interior decorating meant using an empty spray painted cable-reel for a bedside table and didn't own a non-folding dining room set until mid 2000.
