  2. Muscular Dystrophy Association on PDAs for a Disabled Man? · · Score: 5, Informative

    My mother-in-law's friend is also going through ALS currently and has the same issue. Apparently MDA provides a PDA with the features you mentioned to people with ALS. IANAD but I was told that ALS is a form of Muscular Dystrophy. I sorry that I cannot provide specs on hardware, but I recently threw out the paper it was on. If I locate the information I will reply to this post.

    Arrhrhrhrrhrhrhrhrhrhr.

    Could this support Homer Simpon's theory of a donut shaped universe by introducing the possibility that the universe IS just a giant doughnut (The clouds could be sprinkles?).

    All evidence clearly points to Homer Simpson's doughnut shaped universe theory!

  12. This might be good news. on Junkie Loves His Spam · · Score: 1

    If enough idiots like him are known to exist, perhaps it could strengthen the case for making smap legal only to people on opt-in lists, instead of forcing everyone to join opt-out lists like the Do-not-call lists.

    Disregard my previous post (Was written without thinking, just like my first post!).

    I do think it would have been helpful if you had mentioned that the source of the shock you spoke of was from a capacitor. While IANAEE, I do understand what capacitors do, but did not realize that CRTs would have one's with that much stored up. Also in my (weak) defense, I do know people who have attempted to upgrade their PCs/Macs while they plugged in AND powered up!

    So it's Smith and Wesson's fault that the parents didn't store their guns responsibly? Gee, thats intelligent. You also neglected to list the manufacturer of the bullets, and the company that manufactures the the metal that the guns and bullets are made from.
