My thoughts exactly. I bought a black nano and immediately, started rubbing the iPod clean with my cotton t-shirt. It then had a lot of tiny invisible scratches(except in the sun), on the metal and the black front and screen. Thankfully, the corner of the casing started coming lose after 2 days, so I exchanged it for a white iPod. I'm keeping it with the plastic cover and delicately resting on a tissue until the local Best Buy or Apple store gets Nano tubes (cases) in stock.
The click wheel is worth ruining my ears for though. I can't resist in the middle of a song just to spin around the wheel back and forth every once in a while.
Sure, but how many Google ads have you clicked on from non-Google sites that cost only what it costs a web server to send out the ad text? More than $3.75. More like $15 and same with everybody else on your street with Internet access.

Stop lying... really, like someone could actually have a girlfriend and get married who spends time on/. and also be allowed to keep geek books.
so not only are you planning on touching some electric device, you plan on having some pad being stuck in your mouth? Unless of course they make it connect to your brain and tell your brain what you're tasting.
So, which would you like, the blue pill or the red pill?
That made 4 hours of sleep worth it. But of course, laughing made me too tired to work all day.
How many crocodiles have you seen in Soviet Russia anyway?
Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of DVDs.
At half a terrabyte, it'll take over 2 months at 100KB/sec. He can burn DVDs at an average of 10MB/sec. That's 100 times faster, and than the cost and time of USPS shipping. Hopefully they don't lose the delivery. And that's under 200 DVDs so he could burn and send the DVDs for under $200.
You just made the last couple of days of my life seem pointless. I've been trying to make a 3-column table-less, CSS-based, XHTML page with a fluid center column. Next site I work on, I'm going to use XML, XSLT, and XHTML.
What I've been doing for a while, is making a template file and then my content is in.tmpl files with a sort of XML style to them. I run./rebuild and it rebuilds all my pages based on the template and content.tmpl file.
My father is a programmer from before I was born. AWt around three, I used to watch him for hours. (Some reason I really liked the Windows Disk Defrag program and watching the bars.) I questioned why the looks of the screen would change (Win 3.1 and Slackware Linux). When I was about 6, I would constantly ask the librarian if the school had any books on computers. I read a lot of them, and finally found a collection of BASIC code. My dad and I would sit for hours typing in the huge programs(the diskette was lost) and converting them to QBASIC. I started to convert the code myself and figured out what each line did. At 6 I was writing BASIC code without help. After about a year, my dad showed me Visual Basic, and I figured the rest of VB out by myself. That was about it for programming until at around 9 I purchased(no financial help from my parents) and built my own computer (with help for various cables and alignment and screws and such) and I saw the "hard drives" and "CPU" and "RAM" that the books were talking about. I've seen a computer opened up, but never saw how everything was attached. Soon after installing Win98, I installed WinME. And this is the only time I thank Microsoft: If Windows ME didn't suck so much, I would've never installed Linux. Thank you for making WinME suck so much. (By the way, sometime throughout all this, I also taught myself HTML and JavaScript.) In Linux I learned how to setup Apache and had a website running on port 100(80 is/was blocked). I wanted a site like Xanga except one that looks good, so I taught myself Perl and wrote a online blogging community site. Then later, after my friends abandoned my software in exchange for the developed Xanga community, I wrote a blog just for myself. I learned about CSS, HTML, XHTML and browser compatibility(hours at night wondering, "but it looks fine in Mozilla!"). Sometime during the Perl coding, I learned C. I want to write a side scroller game in C, but found a great library in C++ so I bought a C++ book and taught myself C++. I also taught myself various shell scripting languages in that time. I was given root access on a friend's dedicated server but funds fell through. Now I'm 15, have my own company and my own dedicated server. Also, I'm wasting my life away by reading and commenting on/. and telling my life story when it really wasn't asked.
But that's how I got into programming and computers. Nobody tried to get me involved, I just did. If your the father of a kid uninterested in computers or programming, question the postman!
Maybe its the sort of phones we're offeredin the US. Almost all phones are $100 after the rebates for the contract. Unlimited data plans are usually $20/month. Now you can browse the web and a very small screen. You want corporate e-mail? That's another monthly charge. Now if you want a phone with a better size screen, that might be $200 or $300 after contract rebates. Any of the above cell phones get you games, pictures, videos, phone book, SMS, etc. That's probably why people from the US would rather pay $20 for a phone that does calls and SMS rather than $100 for a phone with no other connectivity or $300 just for Internet on still, not too big of a screen.
Are better deals and phones offered out of the US?
I just came home from Oshkosh, Wisconsin where the anouncement was made. The speakers really want space travel to be a simple, safe, and someday affordable adventure.
As a community, we could just provide wireless internet to anybody near us. Eventually, cheap wifi routers will be made that have bandwidth throttles. You give me Internet, I give you Internet, and some kid is taking my Internet without giving anything back.
Well that just cost them 5 minutes of a phone call and the time of whoever answers to pressing zero. I swear, I did have to hear the menu for a third time!

That's horrible of the poster! I only put useful code in my sig. (Look down a line)

Go to an airport, usually they have real time radar and other weather measurements. No forecasting, but that's what the pilots and you are for.

not good enough...that's 1 in 1,000 chance that you'll experience downtime. That's 3.6 seconds of downtime every hour.

Wouldn't even call it news. I heard this in Oshkosh, Wisconsin weeks ago. If only my parents gave me their CC, I'd have put down the $20,000 deposit.

If only the links you copied worked...
Then I wouldn't have to RTFA...
This proves though that I read and post comments before I think of RTFA.

It's not a 1/4 of a square mile. It's a 1/4 square mile, meaning an area with sides each a 1/4 mile long.
