Damn, I wish I had found that phone when I was looking to replace my G1! I ended up with a G2, which shifted the bottom row and generally rearranged keys so it was impossible to type on without un-learning years of touch typing on a proper qwerty keyboard. It was so bad I returned the G2 for an Evo and Hacker's…

If you can swing it, get a phone with a legitimate hardware qwerty keyboard. If you're a touch typist on a PC, this is the best option since a hardware keyboard provides tactile feedback, and *if the buttons are in a correct, 101-key-like qwerty arrangement*, your brain easily translates the spacial memory of where…

Over a year later and still no root for HTC Evo 3D. Damn shame. Too bad I'm still locked into the contract for another year and can't get a phone that works and isn't loaded down with all the HTC and Sprint crap.

I'll be impressed when I see someone manage to do this to eat the same food as it stored in said box, without using a transitory container to hold it while unfolding it into a plate.

If this is accurate it would be difficult for sites to identify and block all of the potential nodes traffic would be coming…

Does using as an alternative to speaker cables count, or is that too cliche? (Yes, I took the wrong lesson from that monster cable face-off )

Windows explorer wasn't bad, especially the Win 2000 variation. 7 is pretty nice, too, excepting one thing: I want my bloody up-a-directory functionality back.

What's a book?

Best lubricant for zippers is teflon-based lube. You can find it in some lock and chain/sprocket lubricants. Read the label. Alternatively if it's a waterproof garment, use a waterproofing wax on it: leather or textile-specific waterproofing wash for hand-wash fabrics, or parafin-based heat-cured waterproofing spray…
