And I've seen plenty of natural-born, good ol', red-blooded Americans (ab)use the corporate messaging system so badly with txt-speak as to give me the impression that they have outsourced their jobs to 11 year old AOL script kiddies.

I'm a naturalized citizen myself, so I take a little bit of offense at "those aliens" comments.
Yeah, because there's a huge audience of 3D golf afficiandos with $3300 spare. (On the other hand, the integrated hybrid DVD-writer is pretty. It'd be neat if they had software for partial 3D rendering of DVD movies.
So, uh, any guesses on how many years before this technology hits the $500 price point?

Yep, answering machines seem to be the most commonly possessed household appliances. My parents' machine still gets really strange noisy messages recorded on it at random. They sound like something out of the exorcist... Laughing, moaning, crying, and voices speaking backward. Of course, I could have imagined it all. It was mostly just hissing and white noise. But if you listened closely enough....
...they find that the inherent pixel content of biologically generated fossils produces higher image compression ratios...
Now, there are several questions you should ask yourself:
(1) Are you calling your wife a fossil?
(2) Does she read Slashdot?
(3) If she could mod, would she mark it +1, Funny, or -1, Won't_get_some_for_a_while?
Remember the personalized advertising? One machine scans your eyeball to identify you, another projects personalized 3-d ads to your eyes and ears to entice you to buy their latest product...
Go with a diamond. It's a beautiful gesture of love to get her something that's so expensive yet so completely useless to you. It will always remind her of that, every time she looks at it. As for you, as other people said, your wedding band will communicate as a symbol that you're taken. It will also remind you of your love and commitment to her. Why would you want it to change channels on your TV, whatever else? You can get a remote on your watch or Palm. Keep it simple. The symbolism is enough function. Anything extra only reduces its true meaning.
Come on, seriously? Jewelry that DOES something? The functions are adornment and symbolism.

When completitors complete, conslumers win!
The problem with that is how often are people/organistations charged with perjury? I suspect not much if at all.

Why not pencil in Powell as a candidate on the ballet?!
Because Powell can't dance as well as the other two?
I thought Yoda wrote AIX...?
Why is it that when I get mod points, we get stories like THIS one?
I'd mark myself offtopic, but that's not allowed.
