My best BH line right there.

Jobs always said that he was most proud of what Apple didn't build. Apple you are better than this, don't do it.

Yes, paper check if the vendor will accept it. And paper checking still a free service (Chase will create the check for you, you only have to put vendor address and contact info). ACH charges 1 percent.

I don't know anyone that doesn't have a decent phone these days, with nice map options and data plans. Screens are bigger than ever and resolution is great. Just put 3 x 6 inch pad (with magnet for charging), or just flat area for suction cup. USB port in proximity for power.

You have to commit to this idea. You need to pay more attention to the traffic and be prepared for shifts, up or down, depending on what is the situation around your car. So for that reason I can see the EV crowd walking away and never looking back.

This topic gets people riled up for some reason. I hate the change only because I think it's stupid, but in reality stupid things happen around me all day, what's one more?

I don't remember this; I was a middle schooler then. I must have been pretty out of it to not notice.

like slashdot posters you might say

I bet $10 that it only comes in white.

Astronomers noticed that the sugar was concentrated on massive flake-shaped exoplanets that reside in what's known as the "bowl region" in the Milky Way.
