I'm just thrilled that developers are actually working on iPad-specific e-mail applications. We could use more variety/competition in that area.

Sure thing! I'm hoping it works for ya!

That's rough, Bryan. Hope everything remains good and healthy for you.

Good point - the standard, "consult your physician before..." caveat applies.

And I'm glad your wife found a solution. I wouldn't wish those cramps on anyone.

It depends on the person.

I'm a former collegiate and semi-pro athlete that suffers from cramping even on days when I'm not training. I'd have the kind of leg cramps, in the middle of the night, that would inspire gasps of pain and scaring my girlfriend awake.

That's brilliant.

An unbelievably kind act all the way around...

Protecting the perception (and rights) of minority groups, when convenient.

Your response is a touch "pot calling the kettle black." You're chastising me for being "god like" and "sanctimonious" with a tone that is quite "god like" and "sanctimonious."

I'm not sure when it became a poor practice to expect people to keep their word or to have "character." Adults need to be adults. Canceling…

Bill, thanks for being as accessible as you are. Grassroots motorsport hopefuls, such as myself, appreciate it.

Question: will we ever see you in the California Rally Series?

I'm partial to Cerro Noroeste. It has some really nice banked turns that you can take at speed; not very technical overall. But more to the point, the road runs along the spine of a ridge, so you get valley views on both sides of the road (as well as some steep drops into Bitter Creek). You'll see California Condors…

Perfect to drink from during NASA budget discussions.

A buddy and I made a pact not to buy it until an "Ultimate" version was made available. Sale after sale... DLC after DLC...

VINDICATION!

Sorta.

That was breathtaking.

I completely agree. You can find the banter-included versions if you look around the web.

As a fellow Angeleno, I have no idea how you manage not to parallel park anywhere.

Don't feel left out. While I know how to parallel park, I rarely participate because I see how other drivers (here in Los Angeles) treat the cars they are parking in between: bang, bump, clatter... I don't drive a "beater," so I'll be damned if someone in a 90's-era Accord will trade paint with my Subie STI.

So, I…

I join you all in whatever level of Hell we belong. NEVER SHOOT IN PORTRAIT.

Los Angeles and Southern California used to be a hotbed for various industries, but as you've probably read about our national economy, our "industry" is escaping us: mainly film and technology. So in the past, there was a great allure to LA that would draw in people across the planet.

Living in Los Angeles, 5K a month isn't a lot of money when you figure in a 9% sales tax rate, expensive fuel cost (due to mandated boutique fuel blends), high insurance rates, and housing expenses into your analysis.

Housing expenses in Los Angeles are 151% higher than that, of say, Columbus, Ohio. When you also…
