Carl: If we're gonna die together, Lou, I'd at least like to know your first name.
Murtagh: Lieutenant.
Carl: I know you're my boss and I'm supposed to call you lieutenant--
Murtagh: I had it legally changed when I was promoted.
Carl: Okay. But what was your name before you got promoted?
Murtagh: Sergeant.

I chalk it up to the average slashdot-er's fixation on Japanese and East Asian stuff. But you could totally be right.

I was going to vote for sputum. But that's a projectile weapon.

This is Slashdot! At first, I thought everyone was talking about thepope! Turns out, Kurt moved into academia a while ago.

Do these tasks not need tending when Safari is also running?

Possibly fourth: Would it not also mess up interoperability with amateur radio operators in other countries? (My father-in-law keeps trying to suck me into the dark underworld of his hobbies, especially amateur radio.)

See, the good folks in Utah are just getting their kids ready for the day when the only election is the Forbes 400 picking a Doge with near-dictatorial power. We'll still be a Republic(tm)! And the Medicis will finally get to cash in with a reality show.

The coach said, "You're gonna run on this track until I get tired!"

Sorry the company isn't profitable yet, I just voted to triple my salary. Looks like more unpaid overtime for you!

I don't have a Galaxy S phone. But from reading the different Android user sites, the counterpoint to your argument is that nobody's been able to develop a custom build for Galaxy S phones that works. You'll notice there's no Cyanogen ROM for the Galaxy S.

Folks are trying. But they still haven't been able to make it work.

That's why I crack open a raw egg and use that to wash my hands! The first year was Hell. Non-stop diarrhea. But now, Salmonella is totally my bitch.

So the next time a crime drama wants to make up a social networking website, they won't be able to skirt the trademark holders by calling it Face Space. Now we know the real reason Fox bought Myspace.
