Libel, not slander. Allegedly.

Not only that but if texting wasn't available, would the fatality rate have been even lower than it is? Increases in safety, better highway design, etc may have reduced the fatality rate much more than texting has increased it, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't fix the problem...

Lawsuits like this are often the only recourse we have when dealing with corporate oligarchs, so please don't cripple my ability to be made whole when they do harm to me. Stalking is terrifying and life altering for the victim. If the facts are as presented, this ins't a frivolous lawsuit. The harm is tangible. Toyota should be held accountable.

Reports indicate that there are many bones from other specimens.... http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/10/01/AR2009100103432.html

Yeah, I loved Office Space. Still, I never bought into the ending though. Cleaning up a burn site, being exposed to lung destroying dust, chemicals, sun. Working with a crew of uneducated bigot misognynists. I came into IT from construction and have never looked back. It's actually easier to be a craftsman in the tech jobs I've had than it ever was in the "get it done now goddammit" atmosphere of most construction sites. Super high end construction is a bit different, some craftsmanship is expected, but you're still breathing sawdust and busting knuckles all day.

I agree it does most of those things you mention quite well for me...(I love the email, gps, and facebook app) with the exception of phone calls...I get some seriously buggy behaviour with the phone calls...incoming calls that ring but don't display the answer button; calls that upon ending, seem to completely lock the phone for 5 minutes with a black screen, can't even restart the damn thing; calls that never ring. The phone is the buggiest piece of crap I've used...I'm about one call away from scrapping it. As much as I need to see my FB status updates I really need the thing to send and receive phone calls reliably. Anyone else have this or solve it via jailbroking? (sic)

I tried this. They used an automated voice caller to tell me the number that I can call to purchase a warranty. So I called the stupid number, thinking I could find out who they are or give them a piece of my mind. But the number just kept ringing and ringing. No one ever answered. So whatever scam they are running must be poorly managed, which I suppose is a minor consolation.

I really like the touch screen, I can type faster on it than any of the numerous windows mobile or blackberry phone I've used. The drawback to the keyboard for me is that it takes an extra touch to get non-alpha characters. Of course, the blackberry and wm phones do also. I'm a sysadmin, the sole weakness I've found is that new text alert and new mail alert sounds aren't very configurable. If I need to wake up at 2am to save a server the existing sounds don't quite do it. I don't know if WM or BB have better configurability for those sounds.

How do you know this? Is there any way to quantify the amount of communication? If I had to guess, I'd say print communication alone would seem to comprise far more than 2/3...

It's definitely what I think about when I make love to Steve Ballmer's wife.
