Did you make a lot of purchases lately from car.com, rap.com, dog.com, nap.com, sew.com, or some of the other three-letter English words? sun.com is short, and it's an English word, but that's not really worth a lot, in itself.
William Safire, before he was a New York Times columnist, worked as a speechwriter for Nixon. He wrote a book called Before the Fall about the pre-Watergate Nixon White House, and it's a pretty interesting set of stories about the man. One particularly informative anecdote is the story of Nixon trying to tear down a "temporary" building that had been erected on Pennsylvania Ave during WW2 as an office building (for the Navy, IIRC), on the grounds that it was unnecessary and architecturally inappropriate for the setting. It took the full might of the Presidency two years to get it torn down - much of which was spent fighting not Congress, but the Federal bureaucracy.
He is the proper color. (Although I don't think he's been crafted. The fit and finish would be much more impressive if he were. He's just made some very lucky choices in his life.)
No, you can port your number if you still live in the area in which it was issued (why is a long, complicated, and ultimately very boring story about how telecoms are regulated in the federal structure of the various governments of the US). However, you'll have to have an active account for that to be possible. If a telco wanted to be malicious, all they have to do is specify that they will charge an ETF if you cancel service before the contract is up (transferring the number immediately cancels the service), and cancel the service themselves (releasing the number) the moment that the contract expires.
Consumer protection laws in the US are weaker than in other countries, but that's part of why things are so much cheaper here. If the law requires (as someone else said Germany does) a two-year warranty, you'll get one - but you won't get it for free. For comparison, a new Xbox 360 Slim with a 250gb HD is USD300, EUR250 (from Amazon.de), or AUD400 (from dicksmith.com.au) - equivalent to USD 300, 350, and 400. Shipping to.au isn't THAT expensive in bulk.
Is there a financial instrument out there that will let me short-sell whatever moron thinks sun.com is worth more than pocket change? It's like dec.com, a historical footnote. Larry should just give it to a computer history society/museum for caretaking.
If they want to change the contract, they can, but you can also stipulate that you'll live out the contract as it was originally signed. When you do that, of course, there's no early termination fee, but your line will be disconnected five minutes after the contract expires, and so you'll lose the mobile number.
25 C isn't hot; it's barely even warm - and those temperatures in SD are from the airport, which is right on the (cold) water. Yes, it does occasionally get very hot in Toronto, but then again it occasionally snows in Montgomery, Alabama. A better comparison would be to, say, Las Vegas, where the average summer high is about the same as the record high for Toronto. Latitude is also important - outside temperatures are much less important than the intensity of sunlight shining in.
"Health hazard"? Unless you're immunosuppressed or hypersensitive, mold isn't really a health hazard. If it were, the US between the Appalachians and the Great Plains would be uninhabitable.
Glass cleaners like Windex are pretty good at dissolving the goop, but damp paper towels (followed by dry paper towels or terry cloth) are needed afterward to wipe the detergent residue off. This works wonders for the windows in your house, too. And paper towels and water are really the only things I use to clean my monitor and televisions, unless there's some really stubborn deposit.
If your prescription is -10.5/-10.75, $1000 a pair is steep but not outside the realm of feasible. $500 a pair, if that's what you meant, is cheap. (I'm a -13/-12.75.)
I, too, have been tempted by the iPhone, but my iPad experience has convinced me to stay on Android for now. I find the headaches of iOS much, much more annoying than the headaches of Android - but then, I'm savvy enough to install Cyanogenmod on my phone, so I'm not worried about getting EOL'd. (Even if you never plan to install CM, I'd not buy an Android phone that it didn't support - it's your EOL protection.)
Perhaps there's something I'm missing, but I've never noticed that entering the password is good for 15 minutes, and it's not mentioned in iTunes' help files that I can see. I always thought I had to enter the password for every purchase, because that's what I've always done.
Most of the top academic performers will eventually go on to be the best engineer in their company. Meanwhile, the future CEO is hanging out with his classmates.
AT&T vs VZW is very dependent on where you are. While at home, I've got excellent VZW signal even deep in concrete buildings, while my wife's AT&T Blackberry struggles to have a signal in the middle of the freeway. On a recent trip to Orlando, I noticed that I was on 1xRTT most of the time if I got any data at all, while AT&T was four bars of 3G everywhere.
Which is more likely: that Bill Gates doesn't know what a prime number is, or that his editor or ghostwriter "cleaned up" a line saying "Computationally, the public key cryptography infrastructure would be rendered obsolete by the development of a fast algorithm to permit the factorization of prime products"?
Anyone - anyone at all - can be edited to look stupid, evil, charming, brilliant, petty, or anything else you should choose, if only you have enough raw footage.
Most humanities academics regard all forms of engineering as merely advanced vocational education (viz: engineering majors are not eligible for Phi Beta Kappa, regardless of their academic standing). I find such intellectual snobbery amusing until it becomes tedious, because it's immediately obvious (if you think about it) that graduate school is apprenticeship with robes at the end.

That's your latitude, not your longitude. The number of hours of daylight is essentially the same at all points at a given latitude on a given day. If you're doing double dark commutes, you're actually just about properly situated in terms of standard time matching solar time. If you were farther east, you'd get morning light; farther west, it would be evening.
Actually, I can't imagine the summers up there -- I live in the South, and find the idea of sunlight at 9 pm somewhat disturbing. Then again, I like the dark...
Who goes to work at 9 am except retail workers prepping for a 10 am open? Honest question, I've never known anyone who worked an office job that started at 9.

Hey now, I once left a Rainbow on a frozen lake to see how long it would last.
So? I didn't buy my latest household purchases from tv.com, furniture.com, computers.com, or food.com.

Every time pay-per-byte is mentioned on this site, people get frothy at the mouth. I'd suggest that your idea is doomed on that basis.

do I need different coatings on either side of the lenses
Yes.

much better use of my money than tinting the windows
If it snows enough that you need to clear it off your car, you probably don't need tinted windows in the summer.

It's four clicks deep, and you have to know it's there. Most people aren't tech junkies.

Yes, much like the Customs agent who was asked what was done with confiscated Cuban cigars. He answered, "We burn them... one at a time."
