No clue either. Parallel worlds? When I enter a phone shop (and I can find 5 of them in the same street), I only see unlocked phones. And what phone are the people with a prepaid cards using?

You mean 'usability issue' like in: "If Mac is so great, then why didn't it gain any marketshare even when it was the *only* OS competing with Windows ME? You can be blind to the usability issues it had at the time if you like, but the simple fact is that the PC-using public obviously agreed that the OS sucked... otherwise, it might have gained a little bit of marketshare."

Sharing is not really a problem as OneNote allows multi-user edition and has synchronisation build in. Maybe what I missed was Web Access. Sitting on John Doe' PC I want to know the configuration parameters of some mail server or repair some package the same way I did 6 months before.
I tried and liked OneNote, integrates with Outlook tasks (and the rest of Office) etc., souple enough to generate formal documents like meeting reports, allows to integrate a task list into a report. Has synchronisation possibilities between distributed version. But in the end I dropped it for a Wiki, go figure.

It's the high seas - international waters. Some fuckhead marchant ship starts shooting it's overwhelming firepower on my small fishing boat. Not that they are scared, just bored, and once done no one complains they say.

Suppose the USA decided to fight with undercover operations (could be the CIA) without uniform and under foreign flag (something like Guantanamo and rendition programs), would that be similar?
'Pussy is an English word meaning cat. It may also refer to the female genitalia in slang.' Pussy was used in the context of food, on a quality newssite, no slang there. As for eating cat, nothing wrong with that, I have eaten many rabbits (I think).
Without exercising they would have gained on average 3 pounds in 12 weeks, average for obese people not in diet phase. So, with exercise they lost 1 pound a week, not as much as in a miracle-crash diet, but a decent amount.
Card counting is legal, so the system is allowed to count my cards. But is it legal to link those cards to my person? My guess is that the system is less subtle than claimed and just totals the gains. Only long run losers are allowed to the table.

As the app store is a new concept it is more like a step forward, but maybe not in the right direction.

Opera had a free version. And yes, those terrible usability problems with tabbed windows. Anything else?
News agencies know better, for years now they offer us the 1000 reporters, one main story approach. As they know that customers discredit uncertainty.

If not for those stories Facebook would seem socially irrelevant.
Hear hear, Facebook changed his-her life (now buy the book).

I am curious why they approved it, felt the need, etc. . And most probably I won't like the answer.

I think this story is made up.

I checked Chimborazo with 6,268 metres (20,565 ft) is even better. Now if I could find a 300m/s maglev and a working ramjet
