I've had a personal rickshaw for about 6 years. Fun! I haul friends and family around. Good times.
The Chinese one I started with is junky, but the Colorado-built Main Street I have bought since is far more capable. At $3400 new, they also cost about 10x what the Chinese ones run. Mine was bought used, and I have about $1000 in it as it sits today (details here: http://www.rickshawseason.com/about/main-street-pedicab/ )
If you've thought about getting a rickshaw for personal use, without knowing any details I'd say to go for it.
> The reason the LaserJet II is still working is that the guts were built by Canon. There are plenty of LaserWriter printers that still work, too. It was a good engine.

I'm still using a 15+ year old DECLaser 5100 which has the same Canon EX engine as the LaserJet 4 had, and it's still going strong. Those Canon engines are durable.
R. Kelly's "Trapped in the Closet" (uncensored). Lots of people talking about feelings while having guns pointed at them. Available on DVD (including Netflix). The sequel isn't as amusing.
"Fifteen": The Nickelodeon soap opera based around the lives of 15-year-olds. Here's the only video I know of that's a full episode:
I haven't used the Other OS feature on my PS3 that much, but it was a motivator for buying the unit. Now, it's going to be gone. Sad.
I'll remember this in in the future, SONY.
The parent makes a great point. Don't have your host as your domain registrar. What if something goes wrong with your host, such as a dispute over billing? They have your domain. Use a separate registrar service. I personally have been using GKG.net (no interest in the company, just a happy customer) and I have at least one host I use with the "free" domain service, but I don't use it. Go ahead and pay the $10ish a year for the independence, even though it isn't a necessary expense. The peace of mind alone is worth the less than a dollar a month to me.
Actually, it's Seth Lover who came up with the Humbucker design (PAF) and Ted McCarty (with some help) came up with the Tune-o-Matic. "The Early Years of the Les Paul Legacy: 1915-1963" by Robb Lawrence has more info, as does Wikipedia:
Show me any time open software has done anything like what the BSA/Microsoft did to the makers of Music Man guitars (Ernie Ball) and we'll talk:

Worrying about what could happen is one thing, but knowing what has happened is more significant.

Great event every year, and great fun.

When you think about the amount of new TVs with built-in VGA and HDMI inputs, a phone that grows into a computer could become popular.
All the same, Les Paul's impact on the world is remarkable.

In line with your comment, he focuses on the innovations rather than with what specific applications they became popular.
