On the Pearl, changing a gunked up trackball took a fingernail and like 5 seconds. I bought a bag of 8 or 10 cheap replacements and just expected them to fail sooner (they did ok). After the Pearl, I had a Bold. With that, you had to take the whole damned phone apart and even then it was tricky (That tiny little keeper clasp thing that held in the ball).
Sorry, got distracted. Point is, if the balls are cheap and you can swap 'em in seconds with no tools then I liked 'em. On the Bold, I hated it more than anything.
...that is until they crawl off and die in the wall... and I wouldn't use it outdoors due to collateral poisoning. And I don't really feel the need to do anything about the outdoor mice. Perhaps if you lived in a city or something you would.
I can't decide if you're trolling or actually believe the nonsense you spout in about half a dozen comments in this thread. 30 seconds with google found a neat summary of the situation.
The constitution of these United States in incompatible with the US becoming a christian nation
Lisa: A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
Bart: Not if you called 'em stench blossoms.
Homer: Or crapweeds.
Marge: I'd sure hate to get a dozen crapweeds for Valentine's Day. I'd rather have candy.
Homer: Not if they were called scumdrops.
science != science fiction. Fictional magic and fictional science are kind of similar, and the line gets blurry a lot. Read Julian May's _Many Colored Land_ and tell me what section that goes in:)
Also, 1g is enough to get you anywhere in the galaxy and back in your own life span. You don't even have to start all that young or live to an unusual age and you still have time to stop and smell the flowers when you get to the destination*. If anything, robotic probes would use lower accelerations over interstellar distances as it will save on fuel/reaction mass and doesn't make a whole lot of difference to the objective time of the trip. For example, that 4ly trip at 1g takes 5.6 years, at 0.1g it's around 13 years.
* Looks like about 22 years to cross the milky way. And when you get home you can look forward to a couple hundred thousand years of interest on your bank accounts:)
That's because you continue to not understand liability insurance. Damage to your own car is your problem, unless you have that insured as well. Around here they call it collision insurance.
Even the police should know better. What surprises me most is that people are still surprised about this kind of thing. It happens all the time, while the big corruption within the government is ignored - in fact, it's a crime to point it out.
Wow. I missed the memo or something. I thought it was the conservatives that had a big old "global warming is made up" agenda. Can you explain why libertarians would feel this way as a part of their political agenda, whatever that may be. I'm sure it's certainly evil.
#1 means a break with all of every bit of historical evidence - the Earth tends to snowball if anything. At least since life has been around. #2 sounds good if we're going to avoid snowball earth. #3 sounds exactly like all of history that we can reconstruct. And I don't think you've figured the odds correctly. Just because you can think of three whole options doesn't mean that they have equal probabilities or that there are only three in the first place. Oh, and further, there is plenty of evidence in history that warmer is better, at least for all things living.
I can't seem to find it, but there was a slight movement to get the web back to black backgrounds as the norm. I don't know about you, but I would much rather have dark backgrounds with bright text. Reading the web these days is like staring at a freakin' light bulb. Point is, black backgrounds + air conditioning=less eye strain and more brain development! (Um, I'm off to change the colors of my website now so no one points out that I use a white background)

Assholes are like birthdays... every body has ... um, wait...

I don't know where this dude lives
North Carolina, IIRC. Mentioned in the video right after the part where the squirrels get hosed down... didn't watch the rest.
Good job getting the ball rolling there! Forget next week, we'll have this done before lunch!
You fool! This was somehow the Bush administration's fault. At least it will be by next week.

What about "teenage"? That's sort of a human specific thing. If they're aliens, maybe "adolescent" would be better...

It's all fun and games until they return to enslave us and force us to toil in their underground sugar mines...

Remember this time people, 80 past 2 on April 47th, it's the dawn of a new enlightenment!
Facebook seems to have solved it already. As much as I hate it, it's still good for finding lost people and many of them were suggested by facebook.
Yes, your mistake was reading the article. Gets in the way of standard slashdot conversation.
Sounds like less liability to me.
That's because you continue to not understand liability insurance. Damage to your own car is your problem, unless you have that insured as well. Around here they call it collision insurance.
I don't think you understand liability insurance. That would be to pay for the damage they do to others.
Fair enough. But my point was that "leaking" reports of corruption to the public is considered a crime. Funny how that works. And not 'haha funny'.
Even the police should know better. What surprises me most is that people are still surprised about this kind of thing. It happens all the time, while the big corruption within the government is ignored - in fact, it's a crime to point it out.
Well clearly there is a history of positive feedback warming. That's why there is so much evidence of the "fireball earth" scenario.

How it works.
