Settings, Calendars, Other Calendars, Add Calendar, Holiday Calendars. Choose your preference. Maybe there's a shortcut to get there. But the feature is there. I'm using it.
The US holiday calendar is pretty bad -- no New Year's Day, no Thanksgiving, no Christmas, but Cinco de Mayo and JFK's birthday are there? Please.
Also, navigating between months is clumsy -- no easy way to jump from, say, April to August. Yahoo's month navigation is much easier to deal with. I doubt I'll be using GCal too much.
We needses our moneyses. We Looooovees our moneys. Yesssss...*GOLEM* Nasty little citizenses. Nasty little businesses.. Give us our precioussss... *GOLEM*
Golem? You keep using that word -- I do not think it means what you think it means.
In a corporate environment, scheduling and email go hand in hand
They never used to until Outlook. We used to use OnTime at one place I worked, which was a dedicated calendaring app that was not tied to e-mail. It required its own server, which everyone read from, and calendar updates were instantaneous. When I got to my current firm and saw that they were using a calendaring app that relied on e-mail to send notifications, I was confused.
Bottom line, calendaring and e-mail need not go "hand in hand".
I take off at least one day sick each month, and usually another day off from holiday. Catch a ride in once or twice -- it always ends up costing the average person more.
No "average" person I know takes a sick day every month, nor do they have a holiday every month (no hols in April, for example), and they go someplace almost every weekend. $2/ride x 2 rides/day x 20 work days/month + 2 rides each weekend = $96. It may indeed cost you more for an unlimited-ride MetroCard than for a Pay-per-Ride Card, but I'd hardly say that the average person doesn't get a bargain.
daytime radio, especially commute time has no music in the morning, and entirely too much non-music talk, station id, and other channel switch causing filler material. Maybe it's been years since I've heard two songs back to back without any interruption (including station ID) between them.
Where do you live? I listen to the radio every day, and I hear songs back-to-back without interruption all the time.
Gauss, together with Lobachevsky and Boylai, was the first to realise that there are other types of geometry than the Euclidian.
And ever since I meet this man
My life is not the same
And Nicolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky is his name, hey!
Nicolai Ivanovich Lobache-
I am never forget the day I am given first original paper to write. It was on analytic and algebraic topology of locally Euclidean metrization of infinitely differentiable Riemannian manifold. Bozhe moi! This I know from nothing. What I'm going to do? But I think of great Lobachevsky and get idea - ahah!
If you can't read it on the porcelein throne, it isn't perfect
For me, it isn't perfect unless I can read it on the subway. No way am I whipping out my iBook or ThinkPad on the A train to read the morning newspaper.
Besides, it's taken me years to master the art of NY Times Subway Origami.
I refuse to take seriously any list of 2005's Best Television that doesn't include Deadwood. Don't tell me "but it was on the 2004 list", either -- the second season was broadcast in 2005, and after Veronica Mars it was the best thing on all year.
I was a music major in college, and I wanted to go to grad school. The music GRE was not being offered at my school, but it was being offered at the university near where my girlfriend grew up. We decided to drive there so I could take the test while she visited with her parents. The problem was that the test was at 8am Saturday morning, and I had the final night of Madrigal Dinners to sing at until 11pm Friday. So she drove all night across two states, dropped me off at the exam, went to her sister's house, and fell asleep for 6 hours while I stared uncomprehendingly at the test questions.
Good times.
Needless to say, I did not do well on the exam, and I didn't go to grad school either.
I find your statement hard to reconcile with the fact that public urination, in the US, is met with punishment for a sexual offense
This isn't a federal law. There may be states or municipalities where this is true, but it certainly isn't true in New York. Public urination is illegal here, yes, but not a sexual offense.
Public urination is generally punishable only by a fine in the U.S., and if you hang out at seedy bars (or the NY subway) you will see plenty of it.
Which subway line do you ride? I've lived in New York City almost my entire life and never seen anyone peeing in a subway car, or on the platform, for that matter -- lots of other things, but never someone peeing. Even the homeless folks who live down there tend to be pretty private about that sort of thing. And I tend to live in fairly marginal neighborhoods, too, not anyplace trendy and sexy.
Contacts / Calendar / ToDo: Mobile phone. If you can sync them, they belong on your mobile phone. Having contacts on the PDA is no use when you have to re-enter the number. Having alarms doesn't help you, because you'll have the PDA with you less often than the phone, and the PDA's alarm buzzers are often chintzy.
I don't recall ever mentioning these. In fact, given that these are features that I'm sure the IIIx didn't have
Huh? Addresses, datebook, and to-do list were the core features of the IIIx.

We use Sametime 3.0, and we have AIM integration. Would be nice to have Yahoo availability, though.
Besides, what's wrong with non-music radio?

Damn, we really are running out of acronyms. (To those of us over a certain age, SALT stands for Strategic Arms Limitation Talks.)
