I love it. That was some fantastic imagery. That just won "best link of the day" for me. Thanks for that!

Larry Sanger is obviously a hoax made to make Jimmy look bad. The man does not exist!

Here we go again...

Trekkies are probably used to that. Hell, that's probably the metric that defines their level of success.

Well, yeah, if Han Solo is teaching you how to convert units I guess it is.

Yup. Smartphone and Ipad users are being trained to type on touch screens so this will naturally be aimed at them. Can't stand typing anything on touchscreens myself, I needs me some tactile feedback, but there's another generation of kids who never watched Star Trek TNG that are going to be able to actually use smooth glass panels for input.

I almost envy them.

Almost.

Haha, yup. Same here.

It doesn't matter how many threads are in my sheets, whether my pillow is made of lumpy cotton or the mattress is a combination of rocks and hay, when I'm tired, I'll sleep on it.

BUT! I have to have white noise in the room, particularly fans. Middle of winter, I'll have a fan on at the foot of my bed. And I have to experiment, but I suspect having my head pointed north and feet south seems to have an effect too. A couple months ago I switched back to this after 6 months of the other direction and I'm sleeping good again.

I dunno, my experience.

So, the government drove private enterprise out of the slow mail delivery business and into the fast mail delivery business?

You know, I like this analogy even more.
