That is the awesomest "loldog" I've ever seen.

I learned this (#5, sorta) through a painful break-up in my late teens. It took a while to figure out. I'd never considered that anyone I was that close (i.e., "in love") with could possibly have such a different understanding of "love" and respond so differently to the same communications. She was and reportedly…

Ha, the PS is the real joke! Nnnniiiicccceee!

My point was not at all to suggest locking oneself in an ivory tower—on the contrary, what I was trying to say is that one should keep one's wits when out in society. That presupposes one's out in society. Not only do we have a responsibility for our own safety, we have some responsibility to protect our friends and…

For the win!

No, but making oneself vulnerable to abuse by getting bombed out of your gourd sure is. It is my opinion that rapists, no matter how they subdue their victims, are not real humans and don't deserve to live among us. But one can't divert all responsibility for one's own safety, merely by saying, "rape." Nor can…

I'm sorry if anything I said gave offense or suggested anything but respect and sympathy for you in the extremely difficult situation you faced. I'm glad you seem to be moving forward positively. Prayers and best wishes to you.

I hope y'all made the decisions to seek prosecution of those rapists. They are criminals and as you note, nothing other than a stronger arm will likely stop them.

People of both genders and every sexual orientation do stupid, regrettable things while intoxicated. It is kinda our faults if we do. That doesn't make rape or sexual assult or just plain old assault, or dui any less criminal or abominable. Just sayin' getting so bombed you don't know what you're doing is, f'sure,…

XDA is the place to go for detailed information. I was similarly intimidated when preparing to root/rom a Viewsonic G-Tab, but discovered that most of the "hard" stuff had to do with preparations to deal with recoveries, if rooting/roming went south. You will want to know how to recover and reinstall a stock image,…

The two main things that are essentials for a business suite in my view are editable spreadsheets and decent pdf rendering and commenting. I've had not that great results with either on the versions of QO I've tried. Would be interested to know if anyone else has recommendations on this. Noticed that Android Market…

Right on! This is not a gender thing, it's a disconnect between marketing, customers, and the fundamental concept of Lego. My boys say the same thing about the stuff they're marketing to boys—there's no creativity and no interest, because it's all pre-packaged, pre-planned carp. Pretty sad that a simple, slightly…

Know why you have to invite more than one Baptist to come fishing with you? 'Cause if you only invite one, he/she'll drink all your beer! Sorry, couldn't resist.

"In AK [sic, my area includeds Arkansas—wish it was AK, especially in summer] and LA, have you come across the primitive weapon hunters? the ones that hunt feral hogs with atl-atl and spear? hardcore shit right there."

Yes—didn't mention Academy, 'cause didn't think they were all that common in other parts of the country. Can't favor .22 as a hunting round for anything other than maybe squirrel and ricochet risk makes it dubious even for that. Hunted squirrel once and only once—tagged one mid-jump; just hated seeing him fall. I…

This is depressing, particularly the fact that the same old knee-jerk anti-frat stuff comes out in full force, even though the national (the largest and one of the most responsible national fraternity organizations, btw) is taking quick action and will probably shut down the chapter, until all vestiges of this group…

I don't think it really matters all that much for hunting if the cammo is pink—animals don't really see the colors anyway. It's about breaking up straight lines with patterns. Don't really know. The women I know who hunt think the pink stuff is ugly. That said, there's Cabela's (over-priced, unless on sale), Bass…

Something that can tell the difference between the words wound and want would be good, too. Sorry for the snark, but v2t is just so obvious, sometimes.

That is so wrong—-you knew we'd search "corgis on treadmills" and then we'd all be bleary eyed yet with that blissful look of videopium satiation. Dayum.

Anyone got a line on a battery upgrade like this for an OG Droid? Not that the original battery isn't pretty good (1420 mAh, I think), but more power = more overclocking and more data use = more fun.
