Except that politicians, clever as they are, will manage to carve out an exemption to HR3035 for themselves....in the interest of public service, of course.

Separate but similar note: A movie was made by Jim Henson in the early 80's called "Emmett Otter's Jug Band Christmas". One of the best, if not the best, family Christmas movies ever made. And it was the puppets/puppetry that made it great. It would not have been so without them, just like The Muppet Show.

Yes, I'm fully aware of my color-blindness as I "suffer" from anomalous trichromacy, particularly in the pink-to-orange spectrum. I always used to get pink and orange objects mixed up when I would look at the or describe them to others...it wasn't until later I found out I wasn't just another idiot, just a colorblind…

Oh hell...thanks, toast3! With your guidance I see it now, and clear as a bell. It IS obvious, isn't it?!

Hmmm....pinkish-orange, white and lime green are the colors of the Italian flag? I never knew that.

I agree....I'm certainly no professional, but I just don't see it. Even if I try, I can't.

Can you modulate the braking power, though? You don't always want the brakes on "full tilt" mode.

Well done...thanks for the laugh.

Thanks, comrade!

I forgot it was on the 3GS; I suppose it was. Tells you how much it means to me...zero.

How do you write "Soylent Green" in Cyrillic?

"It'll sound like you're talking to a real person back at the office or something."...and there's the problem. In public, I still hate hearing half of someone else's conversation, and I suspect I am not alone here.

When I moved to the iPhone4 from the 3GS, I SWORE that I'd use the Voice Control function. And I never do. Is Siri (which reminds me of Tom Cruise's daughter each time I say it, and that sucks in and of itself) better than Voice Control? Yes. Will I still not use it? Yes, and for the very reasons you mention: it's…

They remind me of some sneakers I saw in an 80's chick-rap video...maybe Salt N' Pepa? Whatever, they're disgusting.

I dig Pocket Informant on my iPhone, for what it's worth. It's a TON better than the native calendar app....give it a shot.

If he ever loses the key to his chastity belt, he won't need to fret. Doubt he'll ever need access, though.

Are you serious? It looks like something a clown would ride at the carnival. The geometry looks like a mess and the length of the head tube is laughable. And those brakes...c'mon. Don't bullshit me. I've grown accustomed to encountering Starbucks-sipping, Instamatic-snapping hipsters on their shitty fixies, but…

Fuck you.

You know, I've been thinking about this hoverboard thing for a while...seems to me that if you made a floor that could work as a giant electromagnetic-mesh (think of a bumper car ceiling as a floor, if you get my drift), then, instead of wheels out at the end of elongated skateboard trucks turned 90 degrees downward…

I'm staring at the image of the memorial, mesmerized as much by the memories that it conjures up as the names it memorializes. It makes me more sad to see these images in my memory than it did to see them unfold in reality. Perhaps time heals some wounds, but it also seems that time can allow us to truly feel the…
