My blind friend uses an older flip phone with an old-fashioned dialing pad. He texts by sound and feel, and faster than I can on my keyboard-less smartphone.
Over time the website (and domain) name have built a small but steady stream of traffic but my interest in the hobby is essentially gone and I've not been a visitor to my own site in well over two years. I'd like to sell the site/domain to a long time member who has expressed interest in taking over and trying to grow the site, however I use the domain for my own personal email including banking, health insurance, etc.
There's nothing for it but to just suck it up and keep your yahoo.com e-mail.
If it weren't for the anti-Catholic bias in America society (a bias that rivals that of African Americans: and I can easy prove it. 40% of American is Catholic, but we've had only 1 Catholic President, whereas 13% of America is African American, and we've had only 1 African American President), Catholic students would be ruling the country.
Only 52% of Americans are women, and we already got Hilllary!

HPCwire: Can you prove that quantum computing is actually taking place?
Rose: This was the question we set out to prove with the research published in the recent edition of Nature. The answer was a conclusive "yes."
And this is the clincher:
HPCwire: What's next?
Rose: This is a very significant time in the history of D-Wave. We've sold the world's first commercial quantum computer to a large global security company, Lockheed Martin.
Yeah, that second scene is sure to not only kill ticket sales for that movie, it's going to cause people seeing the movie airing after the trailer you mention to run out of the theatre screaming.

Honestly, we need a "Streisand Effect" term for what happens when legislation merely prompts sites to use the encrypted areas of the internet.
Because it just drives people deeper underground.
On second thought, maybe "Jamiroquai Effect" might sound hipper.
Does this qualify as meat during Lent? Or should I just stick to my Filet-O-Fishes (or is it Filets-O-Fish) for Friday?
Since the whole point of abstaining from meat during Lent is "mortification of the flesh", you could probably go either way.

Most Filipinos can text blind.
It's like a hybrid running off batteries in low-power mode, with the gas engine kicking in a high power.
All we need now is "regenerative braking" using a thermocouple to harness all that heat!
...MIX, BURN.

Just do like they used to - if it's a suspicious liquid that's supposed to be drinkable, you take a swig. If not, it doesn't go with you.

Free 'rein'. Thought you would have known that.

Does anybody else use an iPhone as their primary work device?
Did you mean "primary device for work" or "primary device at work"?
Apple obviously wants Siri to be judged on it's best performance. They have a reputation for quality to maintain.
So you're saying Apple doesn't consider Siri to be "true Siri" unless it's running on a 4S?
No true Scotsman would believe that!
FTFS: The technology will show passengers on a screen as stick figures of neither sex.
This gives a whole new meaning to "obligatory XKCD".
To that end, I'd love to see a 100% Linux phone, nothing relying on Google with it's bits locked down or tracking

The Gore (G). The power consumption at Al Gore's house in August 2007 was around 23,000 kWh.
That gives an average draw of around 30kW.
So this baby sucks a nice round 1 kiloGore (1kG).

Ya, but the prize is just a tenth of a lakh (100,000).
