FWIW, in any realtime chat, I usually leave the beginnings of sentences uncapitalized, and usually don't end single sentences with a period (the period is implied). Realtime stuff like IMs are comprised of back-and-forth sentence fragment exchanges, and don't benefit as much from proper grammar and punctuation.
Everywhere else (email, message board posts, whatever) I write relatively properly. I think this is pretty standard today.
Seriously? At a supermarket? I can see this at a music store, a toy store, something like that, but it seems odd to me that anyone would care what brand of peas I'm staring at. Unless of course they needed peas, and I was standing right there in the way with my cart, steadfast and unwavering.
In grocery stores people usually try to stay out of each other's way, in my experience.
I dunno. He had an immature hissy fit and deleted some guy's account. It was stupid and wrong, but I don't know how jail-worthy that is, legal technicalities aside. He ought to pay a hefty fine and have to live with that large scorch mark in his files (good luck finding a new tech job with that on your record).
Oh, you know this will be the big backfire feature of all time. Imagine your growing frustration as something is not working out the way it should. Your computer detects this and, wanting to prevent you from making a bad mistake in your anger, begins popping up MsgBoxes:
This is true, but a digital SLR will also let you use a much higher ISO (with virtually no noise in comparison with the digicam), so you can hit a lower shutter speed.
That said, I wouldn't recommend a digital SLR to anyone who's not interested in learning about photography. Point-and-shoot digicams make great pictures.
I said it cites a source for the text (which itself could potentially contain its source, etc...). My post was mostly to indicate that if in a few seconds I could find relevant information on Google, so could he.

That is already regulated. When SBCIS has a telco problem they have to call ASI to get it fixed like everyone else does, even though all the companies involved are in many ways one and the same.
So you think it would be cool if the state ordered someone to set a lower price for a service they provide in a competitive market? How many laws are required to please everyone?

Do you call all Mountain Dew that, or only after it's brewed on your desk for a month?

YES, PLEASE.
Yeah, it isn't as pretty, but touchpads drive me nuts.
Either that, or I just moved it to the wrong corner and proclaimed myself winner. Oops. I'LL STILL GET IT.
I got it in 93 moves on the first try, and I've been drinking tonight. Easier than it looks, or just difficult to get in 84 moves?

Have you actually read the article, or any of Paul's other articles? It's not about who can piss farther, it's about finding the most efficient tools.
Google turned this up, which cites a source: http://www.mindview.net/WebLog/log-0037
My own TiBook on cable. Be gentle.
I'll be sure to load the page as delicately and slowly as possible.
Bahahah. Was he supposed to send an email? An IM?
Chicks do NOT dig that.
Seriously?
Better to have doctors, businessmen, firefighters, etc, avoid your place of business because they can't receive emergency pages there?
Did you read the article or are you just trolling?

Why would that be good?
