I got rid of my cheap chair and got a Herman Miller Mirra. It is not as fancy as the Aeron, but it has all the adjustments I need, is very comfortable and is a few hundred dollars less.
The arms go up and down, in and out and pivot. The front lip of the seat is adjustable to make the seat deeper or shallower. Height of course. The recline has three stop settings from very upright to nearly nap with adjustable tension. There are two tilt settings. Lastly, the lumbar support can be positioned vertically and the tension adjusted.
My back used to hurt all of the time, now, not so much. I got mine with the upholstered back. I tried both at the dealer and it just felt a little better.
Neither the Mirra or the Aeron has a headrest. The chairs I saw with headrests that I liked, were in the $1500-$3000 range. Too much for me.
Why single out Senator Clinton. This is a common practice in Washington (and every state capital I might add). To carry this concept a little further, since most of the legislators are male and most lobbyists are also male, that would make the male legislators homosexual hookers (on a percentage basis), thus, in the minds of the people who seem to hate Hillary most, they would be more sinful than Hillary.
Does it occur to anyone that the most appropriate thing to do when finding something so obviously mis-priced is to contact Amazon and tell them so. Is it required that the company be punished just because someone in the supply chain mistyped a value.
As far as honoring a pricing policy, I purchased a camera for $900 last year. About a month and a half later I noticed the price had decreased a lot. I sent an email to Amazon with my order number and all relevant dates and asked them if I was eligible for their price decrease guarantee which allows for a 30 day window. I even told them in the email that I had no idea when the price had been cut. They could have just said, no, the price cut came after your 30 day window, but instead, within a couple of hours, late on a Saturday night, they sent me an email telling me my credit card had been credited for the full $265 reduction in price. All in all, I think they do a pretty good job of taking care of their customers. It made it a lot easier when they backordered the lens I was getting for xmas into late January.
So, let me get this straight, Apple, who sells (that is SELLS) millions of songs providing revenue record labels steals music without paying for it. Did this guy forget to take his Meds this morning?
Are they going to start jumping up and down and screaming "9-11, 9-11, 9-11, terrorist plot." Or is it going to be, "You are not supporting the troops." Or, "That is Anti-American."
I realized just as I clicked that the subject had a misspelled word in it. Unfortunately, clicking on stop doesn't stop the processing on the server, just the client and there is no way to edit once something is posted that I know of, so we all have to look at discusting instead of disgusting. Deal with it...

-- I won't go into the green topic. --
-- nor any desire to "go green" --
In general this "community" is a group of technically minded people who are not opposed to putting science ahead of PR and marketing. Why on earth would such a group be so afraid of something because it is green. We all have to share the planet and I'm guessing most of us are not becoming billionaires by destroying it, so why is it such a problem for so many of you.
I didn't read the article. Is the space trash in geosynchronous orbit. If not then the trash isn't just sitting over China but making it hazardous all over the place.
I think it is time to send up a space garbage truck to start cleaning this crap up.
It must all be going into the handheld OS or maybe into the game console. Those are about the only MS items I don't deal with on a regular basis. I do have to admit that the latest SQL server has some nice things in it.
If I found a dead body in a mine that had broken ribs and spine, my first suspect would be the cell phone. I certainly wouldn't consider the possibility of something damaging the cell phone battery and causing it to short and overheat causing the burn while at the same time also breaking bones in the guys body. You know there is no heavy equipment or explosives in mines that could cause damage to people.
I read the only comment in the bill that references the internet and can only say DUH! That is like saying Fox news promotes fascism or water is generally wet. I don't think it deserved its placement on/.

What's the difference... Why it's mostly the vowels. One has O's and the other has A's. Seems obvious actually.
Their two top chair lines are Freedom and Liberty. I was expecting them to come in Red White and Blue stripes (with stars).
Does it come with a caffeine IV of some sort and a catheter? And is there some sort of cable that plugs into the back of your skull?

Is Apple going to be building these things?
(Not that I don't like Apple products, I just wish the batteries on iPods were replaceable.) :)

I'm beginning to believe that one could get a patent for "Urination by a Male Adult Human While Seated" from the idiots in the patent office.
The Sierra club was founded in May of 1892. Check out their timeline.

Back in the old days, we could just get a fake ID.

I want a pony and a red truck and a Mac and... :) Happy holidays.

Just because they shipped it, doesn't mean it is still not vapor. Microsoft has been proving this for years.
We should all remember the lesson learned in The Twilight Zone, Season 3, Episode 24: To Serve Man.
