Personally, I find that if I'm tired or feeling a bit under the weather, having someone talk to me beyond necessary directions, or having the radio on is MORE distractions than I can cope with. That said, if I am having that much trouble concentracting, I probably shouldn't be on the road in the first place. It generally happens on the way home from some event when I wanted to leave some time ago but my husband couldn't drag himself away yet.:(
I was recently involved in a large WiMax install from a planning perspective. We had a serious concern over the damage galahs would do to the aerials, those buggers will eat anything.
When I worked Mac tech suport in the early-to-mid 90's we used to say in the workshop "Mr Hotline is my friend", it was great for getting install images of software when rebuilding computers for customers who had 'lost' their original disks.
There is a story (citation needed?) that Douglas Adams wrote So long and thanks for all the fish while locked in a hotel bathroom while shoving pages under the door to his agent. He is also quoted as saying: I love deadlines, I love the wooshing sound they make as they pass by.
A point that is frequently raised in the blizzard forums regarding offline play is the number of armed services personnel who play games while on deployment as a recreational activity during the downtimes. They rarely have unrestricted access to the interwebs, and in some cases, no access at all to personal equipment.
With my last change to telephony plan (including broadband), I was read the contract over the phone, and had to agree to the conditions. The contract and agreement were recorded (according to the operator). Admitedly this was in Australia, but I'm sure a similar option exists in the US.
Is the Venice ban on the use/ownership of personal vehicles? If it is all motorised vehicles, what do they use for logistics and transport? I can see them delivering groceries to the supermarket via gondola.
This is a genuine enquiry, I've never been to Venice and was unaware of the ban.
My husband and I are currently 'replacing' a lot of our dead tree books with ebooks. The plan had been to donate the paper copies to a church run second-hand bookstore in bulk, but thinking about it last night I was wondering how long the epub format will be around and how long we will have hardware that will read them.
After all, the dead tree editions won't stop functioning just because a few years have passed. I have been thinking I need to identify what books I would hate to lose if the electronic format became unreadable and hang onto those ones on paper.
There's other good reasons to hang onto the paper too; Until they make a waterproof ereader, I probably won't feel safe reading ebooks in the bath. And lots of ebook conversions lose illustrations in the transfer (I've been reading the Agatha Christie back catalog recently, many of which had hand-drawn maps in them).

If you read extensively, try reading some Jasper Fforde. The broader your reading background, the more you will get out of his books.

LJ and others want to have a word to you about prior art.
I'd need to go look it up, but I thought you could dispute a High Court ruling to the Privy Council in the UK.

Which can be resolved with the iPatch feature. Arrgh! Thar be pirates about.
Sorry, it's the end of a very long day.

It inspires the artist or their heirs to produce... ...more heirs to inherit the proceeds.

I blame Douglas Adams, the Bablefish proof is obvious prior art for the concept of Intelligent Design.
With a bit of luck they will all get knocked down at a zebra crossing. :P

No, it just implies you've said nothing of value.
I'm guessing you just post google over and over to fill up the 140 characters left after you've said something worthwhile.
hehe
lol

*sigh*
sooooo tired of the 'no women teh interwebs' meme
I suppose I could always google it. Oops, I think I broke the algorithim.
...who was regularly arrested for suspicious behaviour...
You're referring to the practice of bastinado, which was a form of torture in a number of cultures.
The London Underground is not a political movement, I looked it up.

How did you pull the battery before you dismantled it?
