I sincerely appreciate the suggestions folks and you've given me a number ideas I honestly hadn't even thought of!
And, Yes, I'll even buy a tablet in the future and probably restart my subscription to Linux Journal (I had that wrong in the OP.) But as a couple of you have pointed out, electronic devices are not compatible with all situations and sometimes I just need to take a break from an LCD screen.
I couldn't agree more. I haven't tried the app yet but as a regular bux customer I only use cash so I can give them a tip. I always feel bad using a CC because there isn't any way to tip them when using plastic.
It sure would be nice if they had some cool tipping options on the app. (Such as, "Round up to the nearest dollar", "25 cents", "50 cents", "75 cents" and a dollar.)

Modern? Simula67 introduced an implementation of OO with objects, classes and inheritance in... guess what year?
OO should only be one paradigm in the programmer's toolkit; applying it to all problems is unwise. Procedural, OO, AO, DO, functional, logic; they're all equally valid across an unbounded problem space.
Exactly good sir. You don't need to use C++ to implement OO in C. I can easily do OO in regular C thru the use of structs & unions. Not all functions need to utilize get/set member functions and whatnot.

Yes. But C# handles pointers in "unsafe" coding areas which then need special permissions =(
I really did make my initial comment well before I had my first cup of coffee (Again, I'll drink Java but won't code in it.) So I hope everyone doesn't get to bent over my ramblings (frick'n MS fanboys! All of ya! Not you dogtanian of course.)

Exactly. What he said. I also respect no language that does away with pointers. Heck, I don't really like C++ too much either. Polymorphism, Encapsulation, inheritance and abstraction scare me. Give me a Struct or a Union any day. Of course don't take my ramblings as gospel as I also cut my grass at home w/ a chainsaw.

It's M$ goo. It's a "we lost our J++ lawsuit so we gonna rewrap our crap" thingy..
Good point. I forgot about that. Guess I was hoping Gandalf would use his staff to off-balance a Stone Troll or something cool like that during the hand-to-hand combat scenes(not tap it on the ground and make all the bad men go away though.)
BTW, way too funny you mentioned the halfling thing. Buddy of mine and I watched the RotK on Saturday, and when the end came and you had three halflings dancing on the bed I whispered "Halfling love" to Ken and we both laughed til the credits...
RotK clearly wouldn't have been much of a movie if the battle scenes hadn't been so good.
Yeah right, it seems that Gandalf the uber white wizard forgot how to use magic during the epic battle for middle earth. The best he could conjure up was turning his staff into a MagLite and chase some winged creatures away...
All things considered, it was a pretty good movie though. Just wanted to see more magic (and naked she-elves..*Disco music starts to play*)
Ur probably right. I also heard that the flight control/stabilizer apparatus that they used was placed in the front of the plane versus the more stable method of placing it behind the plane (I'm sure it's got a better name than just the 'tail' of the plane. I'm just not a SME on airplanes.) I heard a lot of folks couldn't repeat their experiment (airplane) because they had patented that stabilizer technology (maybe that's what Mr. Ford asked them to release.)
Does anyone know why the first flight happened in 1903 but planes really didn't take off til much later?? Becuase the Wright brothers had a patent on key parts of flight. Apparently everyone else just waited til it expired then duplicated...
Good job there bud. You just reminded 100k geeks they need to check out the Alt.Binaries tonight. And my download rate was just starting to creep up...
There is. They've made those wierd USB to Serial converters. Some dongle looking device that interfaces between the two.
I forgot to mention that I've also got a basic stamp that I'm planning on attaching as well. The basic stamp is made by parallax. It has 16 I/O channels on it! GL 2 U!
mini-PCI and SODIMMs would be sweet! Had I only known I'da waited. Instead I bought from Axion Tech the CL series VIA EPIA Mini-itx mobo. This little jewel has dual LANs & 4 serials! Read it! FOUR serials!
That's room for console access, small serial LCD & serial GPS unit. Hmmm..That's one extra serial slot! w00T. BTW, Axion is cheaper than Idot.

And I totally agree; you probably don't need too. I however usually get a latte w/ soy milk which takes a bit longer and so I tip.
Clearly someone didn't get their cup of coffee this morning...
