Good point. What's wrong with "apple.disgruntledpenguins.com" and "android.disgruntledpenguins.com"?

My husband wouldn't hit me if I weren't so clumsy
I think the proper analogy would be, "My neighbor would stop looking in my front window if I'd stop standing naked in front of it."
That's what I was thinking. I think visual cues would be much more useful to the deaf. The deaf only rarely care what something sounds like...
Counter-productive. If watching 'Weeds' taught me anything it's that semi-silent hybrids help with drive-bys. There has to be a market for that.
Disclaimer: I am an Honeywell employee, although in an entirely different division.
It sounds like Nest is doing a great job and may have outpaced Honeywell in the thermostat world. But you have to admit that historically Honeywell has reigned the thermostat world. In the local hardware store, the Honeywell thermostats are the only ones kept locked up. It's not any kind of company loyalty or astroturfing, it's just one of few areas where I respect the brand.
Monopoly? How can that be when the novel invention of a thermostat is so recent? How can you be so quick to yank it away from them?
Appearances are that Martin did physically attack Zimmerman and paid with his life. The fact that he was not armed which is being trotted out as proof that he was not a threat is irrelevant when someone is beating your head against the ground.
Really, that's how it appears? Personally if I'm going to attack someone and start "beating his head against the ground," I'd at least drop my Skittles and iced tea first.
The end result is that my ID thief got away and likely stole other people's identities and the credit card company (*cough* Capital One *cough*) is likely still approving sketchy applications.
Coincidentally, I was on the phone for a good while with them yesterday and will be heading to the bank once they open today. Somebody grabbed those "balance transfer" (or whatever) checks that they send you out of my mailbox, wrote an enormous check out to "cash", put a signature on it that kind of looks like my name (if not my signature), and pulled out the cash before Capital One had a chance to tell the bank that the check was beyond my credit limit. Fun... Even the most basic heuristics should tell them that I don't make a habit out of borrowing $10k in cash against a credit card...
They seem to support free speech, unless it's free speech they don't like, then it should be destroyed.
You're giving them too much credit. Most of them do it for the lulz. Seriously.
One of my favorites is to nick one side slightly and toss it in some hydrochloric acid (or muriatic acid off the shelf at the hardware/janitorial supply store). The copper stays intact, but the acid will eat away the zinc. What you have once you rinse it off is a paper-thin penny shell.
I'm allowed - I are one. I don't live there now and haven't in more than a decade, but that's where my family's from and where I were born. Even though I mostly grew up elsewhere, "Howdy" and "y'all" are part of my regular lexicon. Although I'm not redneck enough to ever use the two together.
It kind of makes me wonder if a German movie set in America has its actors speak German with an American English accent.
That's just silly talk. It's the rest of the world that has accents - We talk normal.
That's what I was thinking - England is old school compared to the US. And for a large part, big budget movies are tailored for American audiences and the rest of the world is a secondary market that will contribute any way.
For example, last time I was in Europe I stayed with my father in Vienna - His apartment was a couple of hundred years older than the United States. My duplex in the US is ancient because it was built all the way back in the 50's.
Dragons and wizards are from a long time ago - English. Star Wars/Galactica/others are in the future (or at least a galaxy far, far away) - American.
I know you're making a joke, but my preschooler's teacher (English but in New Mexico) was going to visit her family and was asked whether or not they spoke English in England... When she told me that my response was that they may know a version of English, but they certainly don't speak American. I think I'll go smoke a fag and hit the loo. Bloody hell. Bullocks.
Yeah, but northern Argentina is a far cry from northern Canada or even Montana.
It is easier to change the specification to fit the program than vice versa.
