Cheap long distance, a portable phone number that you can forward to cell/home/work, and on some carriers, you can add google voice to your "circle of friends" numbers for cheaper/unlimited minutes.

The app is intended to make all of this as easy to use as the regular dialer/address book on the iPhone, rather than a cumbersome process as with a phone card.

There's a few Wii battery packs out there that allow the controller to be powered over USB with a standard A to mini-B cable. Here's one:

Of course, if you drain the battery pack faster than you can recharge it, you might have a problem.

That was pretty hard to follow, what with the unrelated chatter about ARP and the origin of CRLF in HTTP headers.

Here's a better document: http://extendedsubset.com/Renegotiating_TLS.pdf with helpful diagram: http://extendedsubset.com/Renegotiating_TLS_pd.pdf

Probably 443. In the article, it says they're building this on top of SSL to maintain compatibility with existing proxy servers.

I don't think it mentioned how a client will indicate they're going to speak SPDY instead of HTTP. Probably have to read the code or spec for that.

It's safe to say now that "trillion", as an English word, means 10^12 in English-speaking places.

Except for the French-speaking parts.

A 100W LED light bulb, maybe. That would be very bright.

Except that the problem here is with bookmarks. You could delete your whole history, and the location bar would still show your bookmarks.

Heh, you mean like AAA-rated mortagage-backed securities?

Some others:
19" widescreen (16:10) 1680x1050 - 104 ppi
23" widescreen (16:9) 2048x1152 - 102 ppi

You're absolutely right. I should have clarified that I'm only talking about free-standing monitors.

You can get 18.5" monitors that run at 1366x768, like the Acer X183H.

Sounds like you want a monitor with a high PPI (pixels per inch).
Your original monitor was 17" 4:3 (16" viewable), which at 1440x1050 is 109 ppi. You won't get that in an LCD monitor even if you get something large.

Here are some common LCD monitor sizes (>= 17") that have >= 95 PPI:
17" (5:4) 1280x1024 - 96 ppi
17" widescreen (16:10) 1440x900 - 100 ppi
20" (4:3) 1600x1200 - 100 ppi
21.5" widescreen (16:9) 1920x1080 - 102 ppi
30" widescreen (16:10) 2560x1600 - 101 ppi

So if you want something close in size to your existing monitor, get a 17" widescreen at 1440x900 (e.g. Dell E178WFP).
If you want something with a comparable PPI, and equivalent resolution, get a 21.5" widescreen at 1920x1080 (e.g. Dell S2209W)
If you want something with the same aspect ratio, and a higher resolution, get a 20" at 1600x1200 (e.g. Dell 2007FP).

I would pick the 20". As others have said, you can move it further away from your eyes than a CRT if size is an issue.

Competition from Chrome was a good thing: first the Javascript improvements, now separate processes for the plugins.
