What if we could bluetooth it to a display on the inside of your glasses? I know people that have the bluetooth aware sunglasses for audio, why not video as well? That might get me interested enough in the phone to buy one.
I was going to buy a cell phone, from a carrier that had better coverage in the areas I frequented than the cell phones provided by the company. As they were getting ready to get another cell phone anyway, I asked that the one assigned to me be reassigned, and that if I used my new personal phone for business they pay for those minutes or give me a stipend for phone use. Instead, they bought me a phone of the type and carrier I wanted, and said they would rather pay for personal calls than to hassle with the paperwork the stipend or reimbursement of the calls. It worked fine for years, then one day they called me in and said pack up and get out, hand over the keys and your phone. There was no time to pull off my phone list, or delete any text messages. I had some of the numbers in other places, but not all of them. And, I had to quickly go out and get a new phone and update everyone with the new number. Now, I carry two phones, one is mine,. one is theirs, and business and personal never combine. I would do the same with the laptop. But, I would make them buy the laptop, not take the money and buy one with it. That way there is no doubt which machine is theirs.
It used to be procedure in Oklahoma for all the farm and ranch trailers to have the owner's SSN on the trailer instead
of a license plate. Don't see that much any more...
For a moment there I read this comment as "No one wants to see tall blue Elvis Ewoks", and I was about to argue most vehemently that that's exactly what I do want to see in a movie.
Naked tall blue Elvis Ewoks.
Oh, God, I just wrote "Watchmen II"
Only as long as the towers are down. A cell site can be rolled in and brought up in minutes. Unfortunately, the same is not able to be said for the Landline service.
However, I was not talking about a tower going tits up. I was talking about the switching facility for the cellular carrier. If that goes out, for any reason (fire, flood, long term power outage, EF5 tornado, "terrst" attack, etc), it does not make any difference how many COWs you bring in.
Well, maybe not. If your carrier has your phone locked to their network, and they switch a large number
of towers out of one location, take that switch facility out, and your cell phone/data card is a paperweight.
At least, until you move to a functioning service area.
Drugs. And, I mean legit ones. Prednisone will wind me up tighter than a cheap clock, and any little thing can set me off. The first prescription was an interesting experience. I avoid it now as much as possible.
I question that. Different types of crude oil refine better into different products. Also, a large part of the change in diesel prices was the change in sulfur levels in the fuel. First to low sulfur and then to the current ultra low sulfur. Anytime
the refiner has to do more the cost goes up.
Heck simple truth was all cars in the US in the 70s where pretty gutless.
Most, but not all. Many were just a piece of shit regardless of what standard was used to judge by.
I had a '76 Monte Carlo that liked to run so much it would idle down the road at 35 MPH, and would
happily chug along for several seconds after turning the key off. Unless you had the A/C on, in which
case the idle would drop to about 800 RPM and there was this huge hole right off idle where it would
shudder and knock. It really was a piece of shit that nobody could get to run right.
However, I also had a 72 Ford wagon that would fly.
We had people from a regional hospital come to our office for free PSA testing. When I asked about the need for an SSN on their form, I was told they used it for patient tracking. I left it blank, and they told me it was mandatory. Well, there was no threat of perjury statement on the form, and no signature, so I gave them a fake one. Fuck 'em. They don't need my SSN if they have my name, phone number, and the doctor I want the results sent to.
Didn't Les once say that if he has known what rock music would do with the electric guitar, he never would have invented it? My memory is a bit fuzzy, and that may have been one of the transistor trinity. Anybody know?
Isn't that the truth. And the best scam of all is the professor that requires his own book(s) for class, and
changes which ones he uses each year so there is no buy-back at the end of the semester. That's right,
Miner, I still think you are a prick 40 years on.

Only every 5000 years.
It was just some prick at Flickr with no sense of humor.
My first thought was, "...you shout, 'Look out! There are Llamas!' "
It means your wife finds you are surfing porn, and changes your last name to "Bobbit"

You do realize there is a company in the DFW area that released the latest Cheap Trick album on 8-track, right?

When did they classify stupidity as an actual mental condition needing treatment?
When they mandated compulsory education?
As long as my computer stays a PC, and not a "baby 36." Just typing those two numbers made my head hurt.

...and not everyone who disagrees with you is a monster, a fascist, a Nazi, or insane.
And in some cases they are not wrong. That's the hard one to deal with.
When that happens to me, I eventually blow my stack, and quit reading. After that, I am fine!

I'm 35. I tend toward depression. But I'm one sexy bitch.
My mom even says I'm the handsomest guy living in her basement
That was almost too easy.
Like the Velvet Jones trial?

But, if it ever does work, one could use botnets to launch DAKE (Distributed Ass Kicking Extraordinare) attacks on people. Mmm.
