It was all about my Motorola Star-Tac. She was my first phone, and I loved her dearly. Wish I could have kept her going after Verizon took over WorldCom (they made me change phones, said they couldn't support it - LIES, I tell you, LIES.)

I <3 my Star-Tac. It was my first mobile phone, and I so wanted to keep it going...

That's what I figure - I'm going to have to try this when I get home.

Count me in as another vote for this one. I've tried quite a few ergo keyboards and this one, at least for me, is the best one ever. It does take a little bit of time to get used to typing on an ergo if you've never tried it (so new users, don't get frustrated that you're not typing as quickly or accurately, even…

I'll bet we'll find that they're going to donate all those old phones to shelters or other programs so that individuals can have a phone that dials 911 (some domestic abuse programs will give out phones). They can claim a tax writeoff on the cost of the phone... which will probably be more than what they pay out.

Late local news would be very very late - you mean like it is EVERY NIGHT OF THE OLYMPICS? My local news isn't airing until at least 11:30-11:45 (it's usually on at 11) every night due to Olympic coverage. One more night wouldn't have made a difference.

Via the AMC link, as I'm a sad panda DISH customer. Next week's episode? Well, I'll figure it out by then...

1 - We don't all watch porn. Where's your proof that we do?

So, basically, these guys did what Mythbusters had already done seven years ago?

What a great list for Twitter to get ahold of, write a quick script for, and block all those accounts!

Laughing. Seriously - I tickle my kids, and the hiccups end right there. You just have to get them laughing hard enough.

Well, yes, you *can* safely withdraw money at a grocery store, unless someone put a skimmer on the checkout stand (like what happened in the San Francisco Bay Area...

I don't remember the breakdown... I took it in 1988 and got a 1420.

Makes no sense as to why people would create a "Pinterest for... [insert your vice/niche]" - you can create a board for anything on Pinterest and pin things to it. Pinterest covers everything, really, it's just a matter of how you use it.

Even if Han shot first, or not, he's still the hero in the end of it all. He gets the girl, helps save the world, but is still a rogue - albeit a loveable one. He totally shot first - because a good pirate, a good con man, knows how to read the situation and get out of alive. And that's what he did. No shame in…

By default, NoScript blocks wikimedia.org. Block that in any script blocker, and you're in. Wikipedia needs to do a better job of blocking the site and *truly* take it dark.

Just because you make us wait 56 days to rent a new release doesn't mean that we'll run out and buy it. I think the 28 day delay already proved that.

Nah, it's "Sopranos" meets "Northern Exposure", if anything. With maybe a hint of "In Plain Sight" (the witness protection angle)

I've done this for a few years - there's a recipe out there that mixes the cake mix with a carton of cool whip (and I think an egg). That's it. I've made chocolate and lemon cake mix cookies that way.

Don't like the idea of it? Then don't go see it. Stay home and watch the original on DVD. Or VHS, if you still have a machine that plays it. Easy solution to a non-problem.
